Garmin has released the Edge 500 cycling GPS device in blue and white, for cycling enthusiasts. The device offers data on actual positional and speed data as well as estimated calories burned and amount of climb or descent.

The Edge 500 can be also be paired with wireless sensors specific to Garmin or which support the ANT+ format. The Edge 500 boasts about 18 hours of battery life, and when its time, it can be recharged via USB. You can also send data to a Mac or Windows-powered machine through USB.

Sony’s DPF-D72N/BQ digital photo frame looks like it was halfheartedly attacked with a bedazzler in order to make it look like one of those fancy cowboy shirts. Swarovski crystals aside, the frame features a 7″ LCD WVGA display at 800 x 480 resolution, 1GB of internal memory and an Auto-Resizing adjustment system that will downsize photos without much image deterioration.

It will accept a wide range of popular memory card formats and also sports a USB port. You’ll also get a calendar, clock and a few different view modes. The Auto Rotation sensor lets you display images in either landscape or portrait mode.

Everyone knows that despite being slow, turtles are master masseuses. You just have to book your appointment in advance since they take their time. Brando’s USB Tortoise Massager sure looks like it would be relaxing. He’s basically a vibrating turtle with a USB connection that should sooth your tense muscles with his legs.

It’s powered by a pair of AA batteries, not by USB. God forbid he put some power into the massage. How much money would you expect to “shell” out for such a massager? Well thankfully the price matches this little guys power at only $10.

One of the things that I often wished I had when I was traveling was a wireless router. The fact of the matter is that most wireless routers are so large that you can’t easily travel with them. TrendNet has unveiled a new wireless router designed for travel.

TrendNet has announced what it claims to be the world’s smallest travel router capable of 300Mbps speeds. The device is called the TEW-654TR and it measures in at a scant 2.5 x 3.25 x 0.75 inches. The device may be small but it offers the features you expect on a router including a reset button, power port, and a WAN port along with an LED display for status.

I really like netbooks and the idea of a nettop for the average computer user is sound. Most people can do everything they want in an office or online with a low-powered and energy efficient nettop. For business with lots of computers, the power savings these machines provide can mean big savings on electricity.

Acer has announced a new nettop system aimed at the business user called the Veriton N260G Nettop. The machine has a retractable stand for vertical freestanding or can be attached to the rear of an LCD. The machine runs Windows XP Pro and has Intel GMA 4500M graphics.

Buffalo’s latest MiniStation DataVault delivers 500GB of storage space, but unlike other solutions, this model features automatic full disk encryption and a rugged shock-resistant design so that all of your data will be safe and sound.

This one will cost you $244, is USB-powered and will be available this month in Japan. Chances are pretty good that we will see this one in other parts of the world soon after.

Acer has announced their latest M-Series desktop PC called the Aspire G. It’s also known as the Predator and a quick look at the specs suggests that it lives up to it’s name. It features an Intel Core i7-950 3.06GHz processor, 6GB DDR3 RAM (up to 12GB), Intel X58 Express chipset, 1TB SATA hard drive @ 7200rpm, Two Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 (1GB VRAM), Blu-ray disc drive, 11 USB 2.0 ports, Two eSATA ports, Multi-memory card reader, Four DVI-D ports, and Two Gigabit Ethernet ports.

This one is powered by 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium and will run you €1950 bundled with the Logitech G15 keyboard and the G9 Laser mouse.

For a price of $399, you can expect to find all of the usual hardware that is already used in countless Intel Atom powered PCs: 1.6Ghz Atom, Windows XP Home, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, DVD writer, WIFI+Ethernet, 5xUSB.

What sets this one apart from stand-alone “Atom boxes” is the 18.5″ (1366×768) display that also contains the computer. You’ll want to upgrade that 1GB to at least 2GB though. You’ll be happy you did.

We knew the iSaw was a hoax, but we had no idea just how awesome and clever a ploy this really was, with a truly worthwhile message. If you placed a pre-order, here’s the message you received:

When it comes to USB gadgets, it doesn’t get any cooler or deadlier than this. It’s a reminder that we can push USB technology further when it comes to power tools, whether for taking care of odd jobs or hacking a fake plastic tree.

Thank you usbchainsaw.com for showing us the way. Sure, it’s likely a hoax, but USB powered saws are something to aspire to. Office arguments can now end in dismemberment. And next time your secretary gets your coffee wrong…look out. Hit the link for a video.

You can now play and burn Blu-rays and DVDs wherever you go with the Amex Digital BDR-S1/ BDR-T28 4x Blu-ray recorders for Mac.

The USB Shaking Hip has a single function in life. To shake it’s groove thang for lonely nerds all day long. That’s all it does. It will shake as long as it remains plugged into a powered USB port. Looks like you have your choice of various undies styles as well.

Four different versions to be exact. If you can’t get to the beach and see the real deal, I suppose it will have to do. Personally though, I would suggest you focus on getting a real live girl so you can see this.

We first showed you the Beanzawave USB microwave last month. Well here’s the first hands on video of the Beanzawave in action. Sure,when it comes to power and size it’s lacking, but it makes up for those cons with portability and convenience.

It’s powered by onboard batteries that can be charged via USB or an AC adapter. Of course, it’s designed to work with Heinz’s very own single-serving cans of Chef Boyardee foods. We still don’t have any details on pricing or availability.

Always Innovating has something very interesting with its Touch Book tablet, a touchscreen device with a detachable keyboard, embedded Linux OS and a low $300 price tag. The company has published photos of a production device on their page.

Along with the photos, comes this announcement: “We intend to start shipping the Touch Book next month, in July 2009. Our first batch of Touch Books is already in production.” Pre-orders are still open for $300 ($400 with keyboard). Specs below.
