Looking for a phone that matches your fancy Adidas shoes? Well, you can get this one, but despite it’s looks, it isn’t an official handset from the sportswear giant. Sure it has the Adidas logo on the front of this clamshell, but that’s really all we know about it.

You can probably expect the usual specifications of such clones, like dual SIM and a digital camera as well as a complete lack of quality at a high price. We will probably see a Nike version very soon.

The Kindle Kradle is a pretty ugly way to hold your Kindle. It looks like those take-out beverage holders, but for a Kindle. It allows you to not have to actually hold your Kindle, so it’s at least functional. Right? Well, maybe not.

The folks at over at Wired had a hands on and the Kradle turned out to be less useful than it seems. And using it as a dock is a pain since it’s not easy to thread the cable through the stand. It comes in brown or graphite colors though, and in sizes that fit the Kindle DX and some Sony Readers too.

The Japanese version of Twitter operates slightly differently from the other Twitter sites around the world and it’s about to get even more different as it is said to be introducing a tiered payment model that will charge audiences to view tweets from premium Twitter accounts.

So if you are famous or semi-famous, you can now make some extra money using the site. We are talking about allowing account holders to charge audiences for access to their tweets. Users who want to pay for full access to a premium accounts’ tweets can pay a monthly subscription fee or have their mobile network include it in their monthly bill, or even buy a pre-paid card at convenience stores.

Multitools can come in very handy for all kinds of daily jobs and it seems that you can never have enough tools in a compact pocket form. The Piranha by Pocket Tool X is a good one.

Aside from looking like a Piranha, this tool boasts a double-ended bit holder, open and box wrenches, a bottle opener, a nail puller, a scraper, and pry ends. It’s made from heat-treated S30V Stainless Steel, so it is built solid. You can pre-order it now and they should ship in December.

Patent infringement suits are very common and more and more they are being fought in courts in East Texas. The judge in the area is known to side with the patent holders and as a result, cases from all over the country are ending up in the rural Texas courts.

The latest such case is being filed by Klausner Technologies. The firm holds patents that have to do with visual voice mail features. Klausner alleges that the Blackberry bold 9700 and other Blackberry handsets infringe on its patents.

The economy is bad and that might make you think that companies in markets like computers that are seeing some of the worst quarters ever would be saving money. Not HP, the world’s largest computer shipper is spending a huge amount of money to purchase 3Com.

HP has announced that its board of directors and the 3Com board of directors have both agreed to allow HP to buy 3Com at $7.90 per share for all outstanding shares of 3Com stock. That price totals $2.7 billion for the company.

You want a digital picture frame, like the cool kids. But you want something a little different. Something that works with your iPhone maybe. Like a fancy iPhone holder that you can laughingly call a digital picture frame maybe. Well, here ya go.

This is a picture frame that you slide your iPhone into. It will also recharge your iPhone in the frame. You can set up a slideshow or set a mood with the two apps suggested by the manufacturer: “Art” and the “Ambient Channel”. Just looks like your iPhone is trapped in a fancy gift box to us, but why not.

Livescribe has added new products to its Pulse Smartpen portfolio for Holiday Gift Giving. The pen is now available in both 4GB and 2GB models with a new titanium color. The 4GB version can hold up to 400 hours of recorded audio and provides enough storage for apps for entertainment and education.

Neiman Marcus hasn’t heard about the recent economic downturn and so they want you to buy this $200 wood box that’s been jazzed up with some fancy design. It doesn’t even look that great. See that matching keyboard holder under the monitor with the pull-out keyboard tray? It’s an additional $200.

In Neiman Marcus’ world they see no problem with you spending $400 for boxes to that will ugly up your PC. This Ugly Betty is just for the PC and “Not compatible with Macintosh computers.” With shipping and processing at $42 for the CPU stand and $31 for the keyboard holder, by the time you pay tax, it’s over $500.

Here’s one for all of you who like to have your little Halloween decorations on display. It’s a sexy witch that will hold your iPod. Wait. What the hell? What exactly is going on here? Is that witch having her way with that iPod?

She’s definitely giving it a tickle with the tip of her broom. I suppose it would be far dirtier if the broomstick was going the opposite way. That iPod is just sitting back and enjoying itself. The earbuds are just watching the whole bizarre thing unfold.

Sometimes Steampunk goes too far. Cakes, flash drives and clocks are all well and good but with the arrival of a Steampunk urinal, it seems like this genre has officially jumped the shark.

Technically it’s called the TeslaPunk Urinal. A hand-made solid oak tank with a battery powered flush pump, laser aiming assist, lights, antique gauges, flush capacitor, and cup holder. Yeah, what else can you say about this thing. I think it’s time that we changed the way we use the word Steampunk.

The UBoard is basically a glass shelf with 3 USB ports built in. Depending on how you have your desk and office set up, this is actually a pretty handy thing. It’s like having some spare USB ports built into your office itself.

It’s compatible with Window Vista and Mac OS 10. The package consists of the glass top, the frame and a Cup & Memo Holder. You’re safe to place monitors or other objects that weigh under 15kg on the unit.

Just when you think that you’ve seen it all with the Wii, some Wii accessories can still surprise you. The $50 Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder is just what it sounds like. It holds your sensor bar and makes it look like a lightsaber. Sorta.

So while you are swinging that Wiimote, you can imagine Vader encouraging you to use the force and join the darkside. You of course will shout NEVERRRRR and all of your friends will get scared and leave. It’s not your fault Vader only speaks to you and that no one else can hear him.

We’ve all been in a bathroom where it smells like the undead, but have you ever heard the sounds of the undead coming from your toilet paper roll? This is a toilet paper roll holder that plays such sounds when you pull at the TP.

I suppose it’s a Halloween novelty item and is not intended to help you drop a deuce. Because frankly Zombie sounds don’t help me. Perhaps Zombies are constipated and that’s why they make their sounds. If that’s the case, maybe this is supposed to encourage more roughage.

The United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas is becoming a hot bed for patent infringement suits. This is because the judge in the court has a history of siding with the patent holders in infringement suits and has awarded verdicts against Nintendo and other large companies already.

TiVo is trying its luck in the courtroom with a new patent infringement suit against AT&T and Verizon over patents relating to DVR technologies TiVo holds. The patents in question are Nos. 6,233,389 B1 (“Multimedia Time Warping System”), 7,529,465 B2 (“System for Time Shifting Multimedia Content Streams”), and 7,493,015 B1 (“Automatic Playback Overshoot Correction System”).
