Muso voice control for your iPod
If having all of that music at your fingertips isn’t enough for you and you want a still easier way to access your music, this might be just the thing. The Muso is a gadget that plugs into the iPod, and gives you voice control.

It will synchronize with your iTunes library on the first use, without any training. It understands requests like “Play some Beatles”, “Give me Rap”, or even “Play me something like the last song”. It costs $159, and the battery lasts for 10 hours, which is plenty of time for you to have talked yourself hoarse, much to the dismay of those around you.

Dumbbell alarm clock: Wake up, work out

Posted in Clocks by Conner Flynn on July 15th, 2008

Dumbbell alarm clock: Wake up, work out
This device is either completely genius or utterly sadistic. I’m not sure which. It’s an alarm clock that forces you to work out when you wake up. It’s basically a dumbbell with a motion sensor embedded inside, ensuring that you’ll work out every morning, stay fit and get fully awake…And pissed off.

It was designed by Yuk Wang for Fred Worldwide. The SHAPE UP! alarm clock makes sure that you flex your arm muscles for at least 30 reps before the alarm shuts off. No price or release date yet, but it’s the perfect motivator to get rid of all your flab. Buy two and double the fun.

Wii Sports Resort bundled with MotionPlus next spring
Looks like Wii Sports Resort, which is basically Wii Sports: The Next Generation, will come bundled with the MotionPlus accessory, when it becomes available next spring. The MotionPlus attachment gives you 1:1 motion mirroring on your Wiimote.

No word yet on the price of the MotionPlus by itself, but the thinking is that people will buy Wii Sports Resort just to get the accessory just like with Wii Play.

E3 2008: WiiSpeak community mic for online group chatting
Another new Wii accessory fresh from E3 is the WiiSpeak community mic and speaker that will let you chat with friends and enemies online. It’s not like an Xbox 360 headset since the emphasis is on group chatting and since it resides not on your head but on top of your TV. It will come bundled with Animal Crossing City Folk and will be out later this year. Pretty cool no? I’m not sure how it will filter out game sounds and such, but it must be pretty good.

E3 2008: Nintendo announces Wii Music

Posted in Wii by Conner Flynn on July 15th, 2008

E3 2008: Nintendo announces Wii MusicNintendo just announced Wii Music, a new music game that will let you use the Wiimote, Nunchuk and the Wii-Fit Balance Board to create music. It’s not like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, which are based on precise timing. Instead, this one lets you mash buttons and swing the remote around like a crazy Jedi to create some original tunes. Your motions and button mashing will make beautiful music.

It’s like Beamz but with a wiimote. Hopefully less dorky. Users can play different instruments and their are a lot of options like guitar, drums, saxophone and violin. Plus you’ll be able to create music videos as well. You like? I’m not so sure it can compare to pure rocking like Guitar Hero. We’ll see.

Logitech announces wireless Wii keyboard

Logitech announces wireless Wii keyboard
I don’t know many people who surf the web using their Wii, but if that’s your idea of fun then Logitech has a brand spanking new keyboard to go along with your frustration. It broadcasts using 2.4 GHz wireless technology and will work from 30 feet away.

It’s not just a plain old wireless keyboard either. It was designed with the Wii in mind and so comes with dedicated buttons for things like Zoom In/Out, Forward/Back, Quit and OK. No word on a release date, but it will cost you $50 when it arrives. That’s a bit more expensive then the Logic 3, which is only available in the uk currently.

Xbox 360 motion controller in action
After all of the rumors and waiting, we finally get to see the Xbox 360 motion controller in action. Motus, the company that’s supposedly developing the controller for the console has some new videos showing how the device will work with existing games.

It’s being called Darwin and is of course completely wireless and can be split in two depending on the game you’re playing, or if another player wants to join in. Check out the videos below. Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like there’s a bit of a delay in motion in the Lego Star Wars game.
