If you’re the type that has problems with getting earbuds to fit, these new earbuds will help. The new Sony Qlasp earbuds are styled so that they stay on your ear. It clips onto your earlobe and pumps out a frequency of about 6Hz to 23,000 Hz.

The earbuds will cost you $25 and while they may not be the best, they won’t be falling off your ears.

You typical iPod or other standard MP3 player isn’t up to the task of swimming or sports where shocks and bumps are apt to happen. You can wear a plain MP3 while you exercise, but if you get it wet the player is pretty much done.

Finis has announced its latest rugged and waterproof MP3 player called the XtreaMP3.1G. The device has 1GB of storage capable of holding up to 240 songs. The player is design for sports where shocks are common, like snowboarding, skateboarding, and cycling.

If you like to skate on fake plastic skateboards and pretend you are skateboarding or snowboarding, the Friiboard should bring more realistic movement to the Wii Balance Board. What it does is give the balance board less balance and more “wobbability”.

The device just adds a convex surface to the bottom of the Balance Board. We don’t think it’s worth $45, but you might feel differently if you need to skateboard in front of the TV.

Originally it was rumored for an October release date, but then that changed to November 17th and sure enough Tony Hawk Ride was all ready to go on November 17. It will cost you $120 and the game/peripheral combo let you do all of the simulated skateboarding you want on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii.

European availability is December 4 with Amazon for $149. So go get your fake skateboard and park it next to your fake guitar and drum set.

Thrustmaster’s latest accessory is for all of you Wii owners who aren’t down with Tony Hawk and his official skateboard accessories. The T-Freestyle NW was specially designed to play nice with all skate and snowboard games on the Wii.

It’s crafted from genuine maple, and features a “skull” design on the top. It looks…Um…cheap and we sense many broken ankles, despite a set of safety stoppers that are included.

If you are still waiting for Tony Hawk: RIDE to get you moving in front of your console, we’re sorry to report that you still have a few months to ride the real thing while you wait.

The upcoming Tony Hawk game will use the new skateboard controller and go on sale November 17th for $120. Despite the fact that Amazon is still showing the release for mid October.

Remember the Tony Hawk Ride board? The one with the charcoal color? We thought the color was just fine, and represented boards fairly well. But it seems like the game’s director Josh Tsui doesn’t agree. He told GamesIndustry.biz that it will be launched in a “more consumer friendly… iPod-like” white color.

Are they seriously trying to trick people into thinking that this is a new cooler version of the Wii balance board? C’mon, white? Tsui heaped on a bunch of praise for the peripheral too, calling the board “the most advanced peripheral on the market.”

Nintendo has announced Wii Fit Plus. The new fitness software is planned for release this fall in two versions: bundled with the Wii Balance Board and as a stand-alone. Apparently, the new Wii Fit “moves in an added direction” beyond the original, letting users “create a specific workout program that’s perfect” for them. Six new strength and yoga activities can be tailored to your own tastes, depending on what goals you have. There’s also a revamped interface focused on creating seamless routines of 20, 30, 40 minutes.

Plus will also introduce 15 new minigames, like juggling, skateboarding and a game called “perfect 10″ were players move their hips to select numbers that add up to 10. It was dubbed, “Brain Age for your backside,”.

The Xbox 360 motion controller is real. Today at E3, Microsoft unveiled the motion controller we’d been hearing about for awhile. The device is codenamed “Natal” and will allow for a very wide range of actions by using a group of sensors.

The accessory will even be capable of handling multiple users during single sessions. The demo Microsoft showed off at E3 included a skateboarding game and a family playing a racing game (tires were changed by the dad while the daughter handled the driving).

We have talked about the coming Tony Hawk: Ride video game that includes the skateboard controller. I’m not much for real skateboarding, but I might check out the video game. The controller looks pretty slick, assuming it is easier than say controlling a skateboard on a Wii game using the balance board.

GameStop has announced the ship date for the game if you are looking forward to getting your own copy. The game and the skateboard controller will ship on October 13. The big drawback is the bundle is very expensive.

Tony Hawk’s new game will come with a skateboard peripheral so you can do all kinds of amazing tricks. The motion controls are pretty detailed and feature an advanced mode that will allow for in-place 180s, but it doesn’t look like you’ll be lifting the board off the ground.

Grabs are performed by actually grabbing the board as it senses your hand position, and pushing is performed by running your foot along the side of the board. Obviously, ollies and flip tricks are going to be different than the real thing.

Since you spend so much time already looking at Apple product screens, why not incorporate the theme into your skateboard? When you wreck you can crack both in half as well as some bones. Only $59.95.

Of course it’s not really cool unless you can actually use it like a real iPhone, controlling it with your feet as you do tricks. And that would call the ambulance super fast.

This skateboard concept looks great in design and is still portable enough so that you can carry it around. That’s what this Pumpboard concept is offering. It was designed by Maciej Puzon.

The idea behind this one is that the skateboard can be folded and stashed away when you’re not using it. When you need it, just pump it back up. I imagine it might be a bit of a pain to keep folding and then re-pumping your board though. It’s still a concept at this stage, but who knows. It does have good looks if nothing else.

The Z-Nano is truly the world’s smallest mouse. It measures just 42mm (1.65″) x 21mm (0.83″) x 17.65mm (0.69″), it’s not much bigger than it’s attached USB cable or your fingertip. The cable even clips into the mouse itself with a powerful magnet for easy storage.

It even features a slot that you can use to slip in your own tiny photo to personalize the mouse. You’ll need to squint to see it. The world’s smallest mouse will cost you $60 and it will make your hand feel all weird and lonely, while your finger does all the work.

Normally I stick to FPS, Driving/Racing, and the occasion RPG game when it comes time for some gaming action. I don’t usually go for the skateboarding or sports type games. I have seen a few commercials for the new Shaun White Snowboarding title though that makes it look interesting.

Target has announced that its limited edition version of the game is now available to purchase. The Target version has exclusive content not available on versions sold at other stores. Targets exclusive version as additional cut scenes and jibs (whatever a jib is).
