Posted in HTC by Conner Flynn on September 20th, 2009

HTC Leo to Be Officially Known as HTC HD 2Putting HD in your name is all the rage. The thinking must be that if you put HD in your moniker, they will come, buy it, brag about it, be happy and buy your next device as well. So the HTC Leo is jumping on that same bandwagon and laughing maniacally.

The Leo, or HD2, is that large and in charge handset that we saw earlier this month. The HTC HD 2 will sport a 4.3-inch display, which is awesome for video and it looks like it will have a micro-USB connector as well.

Kunai USB flash drive

Posted in USB Flash Drives by Conner Flynn on September 17th, 2009

Kunai USB flash driveA Kunai is an ancient weapon used by ninjas, so modern Ninjas will surely want their USB flash drive in the form of a Kunai. But times have changed. This version won’t kill, it just holds your precious Ninja data and ancient secrets.

The drive comes with 2GB of storage space and will cost you about $125, which seems just a bit excessive considering the capacity. Maybe Ninjas get a special discount, but I doubt it.

Bowers & Wilkins announces Zeppelin Mini iPod dock

Posted in Bowers & Wilkins by Shane McGlaun on September 17th, 2009

bwzepplinminiOne of the better iPod docks that I have tested in recent years was the cool (and pointy) Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin. The only real downside to that thing was that it was very large for a speaker dock. I guess B&W felt the same way and the company has unveiled a new smaller Zeppelin Mini iPod dock.

Ironically, the only simularity between the original Zeppelin and the new Zeppelin Mini is the name. The Mini has a rotating docking arm that allows the iPod to be turned to landscape mode for viewing album art. The device also has a USB port to allow you to stream music from PMPs attached via USB as well as your Mac or PC.

This is that box. Belkin’s Home Base handles everything. It includes four USB 2.0 sockets and an Ethernet jack. When connected to your home router, a printer and at least one external hard drive, any machine on the network instantly gets wireless printing abilities and network access to your USB HDDs.

iTwin to Connect Remote Computers Easily via USB

Posted in Networking by Darrin Olson on September 15th, 2009

iTwin Remote USB ConnectionA new startup company called iTwin has what they are touting as some simple hardware to connect remote computers together and share information. The iTwin device consists of two USB drives that start out hooked together, but then can be plugged into separate computers to allow instant sharing of files. The designers state they realized that many people understand how to use a USB drive, but small USB drives hold a limited amount of data and lack in security if you lose the drive.

A user of the iTwin drives can connect them to a single computer and drop some files into the drive, then disconnect the second USB drive. The second USB can then be taken to another computer somewhere else in the world and plugged in, giving instant and automatic access between the two computers. A number of hurdles immediately come to mind when thinking about how this could work with everything from individual computer firewalls and port security, to network firewalls, internet connections and authentication on both ends. But, according to the designers of iTwin it basically makes a connection between the two computers as if they have a “cable-less cable”. The file sharing is unlimited and encrypted, and by simply unplugging one end, the other end is left useless for any attempting hacking.
