This sexy Elecom stand designed by Nendo is pretty unusual and cool. It’s not very practical, but at least it looks stylish. It’s made from polycarbonate and ABS faucet parts and is designed to look like a faucet with water flowing out of it.

It will be available in clear, black, blue and white, but there is no word price or the availability. It is certainly unique.

The Verizon Fascinate was the last Samsung Galaxy S variant to hit the U.S. and the carrier is doing its best to keep the phone up to date with software updates, even though some of them caused problems for users. Interestingly, Verizon is now listing the phone with a “retired” label.

You can see the red watermark embedded all over the device page. It says the phone is retired and so has already been removed from the carrier’s online store. So what would they replace it with? Probably the Galaxy S II variant for Verizon (whether it will be called Samsung Galaxy S II, Function, Fascinate II or Stratosphere).

Many camera bags lack the necessary room to hold your charger or another battery or anything else inside. It might not make a lot of sense, but that’s just how it is. You have lenses that you need to carry with you as well. Well, the Chrome Niko might be the solution.

It has a side-opening compartment with Velcro dividers so you can customize the layout to fit your camera and your other gear. There is another zippered opening on top, with room for your charger, extra batteries, etc. The bag is made from weather proof 1050 denier nylon with a waterproof 18-ounce tarpaulin liner.

A new camera for action sports fans has launched and it is appropriately called the Replay XD1080. This is the company’s first offering that does 1080p resolution. It’s the smallest 1080p camera there is and weighs less than three ounces. It is also water resistant and can survive drops and crashes when in use.

The camera records 1080p resolution at 30 fps and can record 720p at up to 60fps. Other features include a 135-degree field of view so the video doesn’t have a fish eye effect, the ability to be mounted on the hood of a car, and it has an optional suction cup mount.

We all try to be careful, but accidents happen. And if your device is exposed to water or moisture, you are going to need some help. You could always dry it out with a container full of uncooked rice, but here’s a more portable and easier solution.

The Wet Emergency Kits from Dry-All. It’s a bag filled with absorbent beads. Just take out the battery and place the gadget in the bag. Dry-All has three different types of electronics bag, which can only be used once, and they take about 24-48 hours to dry it out. The smartphone bag can be reused up to 5 times and works in just 6 hours.

Toshiba has announced an SD card like you have never seen before. It allows users to store up to 1GB of content, but the content can not be erased or modified in any way. Write once and that’s it. It also can not be formatted. It looks like any other SD card and can be used just like a normal card.

What you store on it stays on it. Toshiba is targeting “governmental offices” and businesses with the Write-Once Card and they have already started selling them in Japan. The company is probably testing the waters with this low capacity card, hoping to deliver media on them eventually.

Kingmax has just unveiled their latest SDXC memory card, which is waterproof and dustproof. So you will be good to go in the rain or in a dusty cave somewhere. This SDXC card comes in a 64GB capacity and baosts a Class 10 rating, built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) and it also has an exFAT file structure.

As far as performance, the card will deliver read and write speeds of up to 65MB/s and 40MB/s, respectively. Sounds great, but right now we have no info on pricing and a release date yet. Hopefully we will know soon.

Toshiba has introduced a new pocket camcorder. The Camileo BW10 is its first waterproof video camera and is capable of being submerged in up to 6.5 feet of water. The BW10 is also built rugged for when on land as well.

It takes 1080p MPEG-4 video and five-megapixel stills with a light-sensitive CMOS sensor, an f2.8 lens, and boasts image stabilization. This one uses a micro USB connector instead of a direct USB plug and has bundled software to help upload your videos to YouTube.

Word on the street is that Samsung is expected to announce a new W200 shock+waterproof pocket cam with full HD video capabilities. It looks nice and sporty doesn’t it? Looks like it can take a decent beating. The sensor resolution will be 5MP (back side illuminated).

So feel free to carry this one with you on your Indiana Jones type adventures, stopping to snap a pic occasionally as you outrun enemies and uncover buried treasures. Or just, you know, take it with you on vacation. The announcement should be in a few days.

Samsung has launched their new premium SD card and microSD card range in South Korea. Samsung’s memory cards are known for being rugged and reliable so you can count on them.

We already know that Jabba likes to decorate his palace with things like, oh I don’t know, smugglers frozen in carbonite and whatnot. But what you may not have known is that he also loves to have a huge iPad docked right in front of him. Probably helps him sleep or something.

This natural wood dock will sync up your iPad, iPhone and iPod in style. Jabba’s style. Which is grabbing a toad out of your bong water and eating it up, while laughing at the Jedi who has come to collect his friend and is about to kill you.

The Scooterputer takes portability to a whole new level. It comes from modder Stephen Popa. This is basically a Thermaltake Element V case with plenty of gaming power sitting on a 24v rechargeable electric scooter that has been stretched a full 11 inches to maker room for the computer.

The computer case has an Intel i7 processor inside, along with 4GB RAM, GTS 250 graphics card, three RAIDed hard drives, USB 3.0 port, dual layer DVD burner, Thermaltake TR2 1200 Watt power supply and it’s water cooled with Thermaltake Big water 850I kit.

As a general rule, SD cards are not tough. They’re wimpy and easily broken. Not this one though. The Raw Steel Super Tough SD card from Hoodman has protective metal imbedded in the front to make it extremely rugged.

The storage device is also made using epoxy, so it is waterproof as well. Sounds like this memory card is tougher than your digital camera. It’s available in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB of storage sizes and the SDHC cards will be released on November 15th.
