Punk Vans
by Josh Rubin
Onward with punk... Vans was showing these lovelies at Soled Out tonight. "How was the event" you ask? Kind of annoying. The kicks were pretty good, but they were all packed in behind a tiny little bar where crowds were 3 and 4 deep. There was too much going on to take it all in, but I was able to grab some pics...
Nokia Bluetooth Picture Headset
by Josh Rubin
HS-13w is a new wireless headset from Nokia. It includes a color display for viewing pictures and browsing the contact list. It also includes a voice dialing feature that supports speaking numbers or the name of someone in the contact list. Two things make this headset intriguing-- first, it's meant to be like techno jewlery. you wear it around your neck and display images on it. A digital locket. Second is the addition of a functional display for looking up and dialing contacts. This is great because it means you'll rarely have to access the main phone to start and receive calls.
Designed as a partner for the freaky little 7280 pen phone, it appears this headset will be compatible with all Bluetooth Nokia handsets. Hopefully it will be available by the end of the year like Nokia claims.
Nokia Kaleidoscope
by Josh Rubin
Announced over a year ago, the Nokia Kaleidoscope is rumored to be shipping soon. While it's not the most technologically advanced thing in the world, it's a fun little conversation piece.
[It] lets you upload digital images and carry them like a photo album or mini-gallery. Only one person can see the screen at a time, so you can share an inspiration or experience with a friend or colleague in confidence.
Once available, they'll be $299 direct from Nokia.
