It’s a real shame that those outside of Japan won’t be able to lay their hands the Sony Ericsson CyberShot S001 at retail stores. It’s a real beauty of a camera phone. The Sony Ericsson CyberShot S001 features an 8.1 megapixel autofocus EXMOR CMOS sensor with LED flash, Smile Shutter and Face Recognition technology, Image Stabilization and auto exposure/white balance alongside sensitivity of up to ISO 1600.

Some other features of the CDMA/GSM slider handset include a 3.3″ OLED display with 854 x 480 resolution, Bluetooth connectivity, Integrated GPS, and 1Seg TV tuner. You can get it from KDDI in Japan in our choice of black, gold, green and pink this March.

Older geeks listen up. Do you miss all the fun of using a good old fashioned rotary dialler? You know, back when just entering seven digits took forever, accompanied by that sound of the dial turning back in place with each number.

The iDial is an application for your iPhone that might just bring back memories. Those days were pretty damn inconvenient, but on some levels you might say that we actually had more interaction with our devices. I guess that’s because we did half the work. The iDial is just a download away.

Onda announced their latest portable media player with some cool features, the VX777. This one comes with WiFi and internet radio and looks like it may even incorporate a touch-screen. It boasts a 4.2” color TFT with a resolution of 480 X 272. Is this the first MP3 player from China that does WiFi?

It sports a 3000mAh battery, good for 30 hrs of audio and 10 hrs of video playback. Plus it has support for almost all the major formats except OGG, has a built-in speaker, a TV-out connection. Some other features:

Pssst. Hey. You. The guy with all the gadgets and the huge gut. Put down the comic book and the PSP, give me a sec. Wanna charge your gadgets and get some exercise at the same time? Maybe get a girl? Check this out.

This pedal-charging device from Japan is like a Power Stepper but even better. Apparently, it will produce enough electricity to power mobile phones, media players, or any number of other gadgets. Just don’t tell anyone you have it, otherwise you will be charging stuff like a hamster in it’s wheel.

The Symbio phone is from Thompson and it has an interesting even stunning look, though looks are not all it has. It works as a VoIP phone but it’s cordless too (DECT), and even has internet radio built in as well as being able to download RSS feeds.

It even comes with integrated rechargeable batteries, which allows you to carry it around for about 6 hours as you listen to internet radio stations and or make calls. Nothing yet as far as pricing and availability, but it’s sure to be a hit with some nice features and daring design.

iRiver’s new PMP looks pretty damn sexy. It’s called the Spinn and has a 3.2″ AMOLED display capable of displaying a 480 x272 resolution which is a widescreen format. Video is displayed at 30 frames per second and it can be used as a photo viewer and MP3 player. iRiver also threw in an FM tuner, DMB for those areas which support it, and text viewer. That’s a nice set of features in this great looking PMP.

As far as connectivity, the Spinn supports Bluetooth and USB. Controlling the device is done with a toggle wheel on the right. Memory sizes are from 4GB up to 16GB. Due out later this year the iRiver Spinn is bound to do very well and get very far on looks alone.

These Star Wars Plug and Play joysticks come loaded with games inside, and geek detail on the outside. Your choice of Darth Vader or the Millenium Falcon. The Darth Vader Joystick comes with 5 games and is the more expensive of the pair at $30. I imagine it must look like you are strangling Vader in your hands as you play games like Coruscant Attack, Grievous Onslaught, Droid Invasion, Gunship Battle and Utapu Chase.

And the Millennium Falcon version has an actual joystick and is only $15. What the Falcon isn’t as cool as Darth Vader? Maybe it’s just that joysticks are outdated. This one includes four different games: Assault on Hoth, Red Leader, Battle of Endor and Lightsaber Duel.

The Cooltone Mini Fridge provides an interesting combination of popular dorm room items into one “cool” package. This refrigerator has a 22 liter capacity which is enough to hold 20 standard beverage cans and keep them cold, but there’s much, much more.

The Cooltone gets its name from the multiple music-playing features included in this unlikely combination. On the top of the fridge is a standard top loading CD player and and AM/FM radio which both play music out of the …

Although it makes me shudder every time, when I see this lamp I envision a multitude of these little things mounted on the walls of programmer cube farms so managers can make sure the keyboards are always going. Due to this I think this lamp is just a horrible invention. Of course, I’m sure it can be used for purposes of good as well, and with a little therapy I can probably get there.

It’s always refreshing to see an iPod accessory that actually looks useful; case in point: the Boblbee solar-powered iPod case. The Boblbee case completely encloses your iPod protecting it in a waterproof, shockproof cocoon of safeness. The case also acts as a charger drawing its electricity from the sun for you outdoor enthusiasts, miles away from any power outlets.

It’s not the most streamlined looking case and will definitely add some bulk to your MP3 player, but it will also potentially give you continuous, uninterrupted listening time outdoors, sun permitting. According …
