I don’t mean slider in the traditional sense. What I mean is that someone slid right off their rocker, or off the sober wagon or…something. No, this isn’t the top part to that scale that your doctor has in his office. It’s a radio with an interesting slide function, as in you slide the damn radio around to tune in the channel you want, instead of using a dial.

It may be a nice decoration, but I wouldn’t want to use it. At least this thing is cute. Hell, maybe I should invent a real long rail and slide my laptop up and down the thing to tune in websites. That would be swell and I wasn’t using all this living space anyway.

People use calculators less and less these days thanks to the function being built into other devices like cell phones etc. But if you are the rare scientific nerd or number cruncher who still needs one, why not calculate in style with a sort of Cadillac of calculators.

The Jet Calculator from LEXON should appeal to design-minded consumers who need a standalone model. It’s made from aluminum alloy and comes in silver or gold finish. The sliding screen is fairly useless and it still has plastic keys with a generic LCD…Not exactly the cadillac of calculating after all, but it does have a certain style. They will be available in Korea in April for about $42 and $53.

If this is Sony’s new PSP phone, it hits the mark exactly. Supposedly it features a widescreen 3-inch (480 x 272) display, PSP functionality via M2 card slot(UMD would be gone), dual-slide design, and a functional gamepad.

Slide it over to one side and there’s a joypad with analog stick for PSP controls. Slide to the other side and a number keyboard will show up. The gaming community is buzzing from some supposedly leaked scans of this possible PSPhone from Stuff magazine, from a few months back. Somehow it escaped everyone’s notice until now since no one reads the damn thing.

This fan-made PSP concept is an awesome slider, with a look that beats the hell out of the old one and then spits on it for good measure. It’s got an amazing large screen and an iPhone style home button in front.

Just slide it open and it’s ready for gaming, revealing the D-Pad, two analog nubs, and the face buttons. This is one hell of a nice concept, considering I’m not much of a PSP fan and it’s got me wanting one yesterday. We can only hope that the next PSP looks something like this.
