Yesterday the Morning Paper posted a grainy black and white photo of a new product to be coming from Palm called the Palm Gandolf, showing features of an integrated camera, Bluetooth, EVDO and a Micro SD slot.

Today the have another smaller photo, this time in color (looks photoshop to us) along with some more details about the device, stating a price point of under $200 and an availability date of sometime in Q4 of this year. Also it has a full QWERTY keyboard and runs Palm OS.

About the time we …

This small Disney Mplayer MP3 player inspired by Mickey Mouse features the shape of Mickey’s head and ears in a spherical design. The ears look to be actually functional controlling the volume with one and moving ahead or back in tracks with the other, possibly by twisting them.

The features here are pretty simple but the design is sure to catch on. There is no screen interface on this little device and by additional photos it appears to be quite small, maybe just 2-3 inches in diameter. There also doesn’t appear to be …

You like to be cool and hip with fashionable gadgets. Do us a favor though please – avoid the Hummer HT1 slider phone like the plague.

Why? Well, for starts, it isn’t what I say is the most pretty phone out there for $400 (especially the camo design - please!). You’re also showing off by owning this phone you drive one of the most controversial gas guzzling, money sucking vehicles on the planet. May a pack of Priuses chase you down on the freeway like a hunted animal!

(off of soapbox) Now if, for some reason, …

This looks like one handy gadget to have in your car. It’s a one-piece 4-port power inverter that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter socket and provides a 110 volt AC outlet, two USB ports and a cigarette lighter socket.

The USB ports would be incredible convenient in order to power devices such as an iPod or a PDA, and of course you can plug in your laptop or any other device to charge in the 110 volt …

USB flash drives come in all shapes and sized these days, and not even a lego brick can escape it.

A Australian company called Zip Zip has created a 1GB USB flash memory thumb drive out of small Lego bricks just to add a little fun to you data storage needs.

This design makes me wonder if you could stack these bricks together, and something that would be really cool is if by stacking them you could expand the memory. But for now I think they are just regular Lego bricks with a …

Pulse oximetry is definitely not a new technology, and even small, finger-sized portable pulse oximeters have been around for a while. But few have had such a clear display and been as reasonably priced as a the Oxicheck.

This device, like any oximeter shines red and infrared light into your finger to noninvasively check your blood oxygen level and heart rate. It has a nice large LCD display that shows and continuously monitors (not records) your heart rate and blood oxygen saturation in real time. This works off the same principals of larger pulse …

This tiny desktop refrigerator is a definite step up from the USB Beverage cooler “cold plate” we wrote about last fall. With the ability to cool your drink down with a running temperature of just over 8 degrees C, this USB Mini Fridge can hold and cool exactly one standard 12 ounce can. It’s powered solely by USB via your computer which makes it a fairly portable personal fridge that can sit on your desk and keep your drinks …

Recently we wrote an article about Nokia phone chargers and how they are adding features prompt owners to unplug the cord from the wall when not in use to conserve electricity. Imagine how much energy would be saved if your printer, speakers and any other plugged-in peripherals automatically were powered up and down by your computer.

This Smart Strip power strip has a one main control outlet, six switched outlets and three “always on” outlets. A device such as your computer that’s …

While doing projects around the house, grilling outside and even at social events I’ll often find myself asking where I put my beer, but my problem ends with this beer holster.

Made of the same type of rugged leather of tool belts, pliers and gun holsters, this will snap onto your belt and has a strap to go around your leg to keep the holster upright at all times and is the perfect size for a 12 ounce can or bottle. Imagine the convenience of never losing track of your beer while having both hands free to …

Usually when you or your doctor take your pulse you would use a blood pressure cuff, a clip on one of your fingers or even just counting the beats on your neck the old fashioned way. Taylor Gifts is bringing the pulse counting business into the 21st century with its heart rate monitor ring so you can always tell what your rate is with just a quick glance.

While its bright red design won’t win any style awards it does get our approval for displaying your pulse in large enough numbers (between a range of …

Gadgets that need a somewhat-significantly sized interface for texting messages or dialing phone numbers can only get so small before they will just be too tiny for the average person to use, so what would a designer do when they’ve simply run out of space on the device? By looking at this patent found by Unwired it appears that Apple has an interesting solution.

Instead of trying to cram more buttons into a small area or re-purposing the same area, it appears that they are playing with idea of using both …

If you can’t see the other person in your web cam browser image normally we would suggest that they turn on some lights but for those that crave stealth or live in the Batcave we recommend the Night Vision Web Cam from A4-Tech.

Priced at $52, six infrared LEDs convert the 1.3 megapixel shot into an image that looks like it came from someone that didn’t forget to pay their electric bill. The makers claim that their cam can adjust the color levels of the dark image into one that presents the accurate colors if …

Looking like something out of “The Fifth Element” comes the Portable Motion Speakers from e-Revolution. When you want to adjust the sound level you don’t reach for the volume knob since there isn’t one there; instead you raise your hand up or down and the volume level is raised or lowered accordingly.

Whazzat?

It turns out that there’s an integrated motion sensor embedded inside the units that detects your hand movement, but don’t tell your friends that when they see you do it: instead tell them that you’re using your Jedi powers. You can …

Gadgets for young kids are way cooler now then they were when I was young. Within just the last few months we’ve seen a new Kidizoom digital camera, a kid-tough FP3 player and now Sandisk, wanting to make sure they have something for everyone, has released the Sandisk Sansa Shaker MP3 player targeting the smaller tykes.

The Sansa Shaker isn’t necessarily high on tech but it might meet the wants of parents who are tired of kids that always want to borrow their $200 iPod and fill it up with songs from High School …

The FCC has approved a Bluetooth audio transmitter accessory for the Apple iPod so you can rock away without your earbuds. Developed by Korean manufacturer Slaudiolab, the SRS-200BD has built-in SRS WOW HD audio enhancement capability so the music that will be delivered will be clear and shaped for the acoustic environment.

The device docks into the base of the iPod and will be compatible with all the different versions of Apple’s music box as well as come in both black and white models. Price and availability of the SRS-200BD haven’t been …
