Robotic Lawn Mower
(25 May 2005) - Have a big lawn, no staff and a few thousand extra dollars? Maybe. Or maybe you're just in to red robots. Either way, the Evolution from Robots and Relax is a fascinating robotic lawn mower and is just one in a series of automated lawn care. Starting around $1000, one of these babies would make the perfect Summer accessory for your entertainment and convenience....

Nokia 770
(25 May 2005) - Today Nokia announced a new gadget that isn't a phone at all. The new 770 device is being dubbed an Internet Tablet because its primary purpose is to be an in-home, instant-on web browser and email client. It will have Bluetooth and WiFi for accessing your wireless network and has a big, high resolution screen for viewing pages. At US$350, this is much more...

The Electronic Entertainment Expo
(24 May 2005) - The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is a bit like the louder flashier sister to the Game Developers Conference. It's an opportunity to check out new titles and display new hardware. It's also an opportunity for top executives in the industry to get together, make deals, and woo distributors. Navigating through the Expo floor put me through sensory overload as I was herded with many...

Keep Your Eyes on the Road
(13 May 2005) - Sony's latest in-car GPS unit, the NVXYZ777, displays a 3D rendering of the streets and buildings of Tokyo. This high resolution touch screen device also has 30GB of storage and is capable of playing back audio and video files potentially making it a complete media solution. While this thing looks amazing and I absolutely want one, I'm afraid I might watch it more than...

ITP Spring Show Review
(11 May 2005) - In case you only read the feed or just didn't notice the image on the top-right area of the screen, we have a feature review of the ITP Spring Show which took place yesterday and today. Brian Maniere, our developer-now-contributor, attended the show last night and saw some fantastic projects-- interactive fireflies, networked flowers and inflatable clothes just skim the surface.

Numark iPod DJ Mixer
(06 May 2005) - Like most things associated with the iPod, the prototype for the Numark iPod DJ Mixer is stunning, cutting-edge and beautiful. Revealed at the Musikmesse show in Frankfurt last month, the DJ Mixer enables DJs to mix two iPods simultaneously, taking “spinning discs” to a whole new level. The unit looks like an oversized, enhanced iPod, with scratch pad, fader and pitch controls and the...

Mini Mate
(26 April 2005) - The Mac Mini has such great potential to be a home media hub, but the hard drive options it ships with are not very well suited to such use. Apparently upgrading to a higher capacity internal drive isn't much of an option either because they'll run too hot and cause too many problems-- not to mention the innards of this thing are even complex...

Bell & Ross Instrument Series
(26 April 2005) - Earlier this month, at Baselworld 2005, one of my all time favorite watch manufacturers Bell & Ross announced their new Instrument Series. It wasn't until Gizmodo picked it up today from a post on Watch Report that I tuned in, but better a few weeks late than never. The series is based on the design of cockpit instrumentation and includes an automatic, a chrono,...

Hot Choz
(11 April 2005) - French designer David L'Hôte seems to be just as fed up with wires as I am. Centfils (translating to something like 100 wires) is a series of design concepts that address the increasingly problematic proliferation of electrical wires. From left to right: Octave goes under the desk for all those computer peripherals, Odile on top of the desk for the mobile devices and Oscar...

Clocky
(08 April 2005) - Wake up, people! There’s finally a solution for those of us who just can’t get out of bed in the morning. The Clocky is an alarm clock on wheels. When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky, which is affectionately wrapped in brown shag carpet, will roll off the bedside table and onto the floor until it finds a...

Featuring a stainless steel case and a ball bearing assisted slider, this statement in elegance is also packed with the usual array of features-- SVGA camera, Bluetooth, Triband GSM, high res screen, mp3 ring tones, digital music player, 3d rendering engine and more. What's even...

The EarBud Challenge
(08 April 2005) - 6isolator Earphones, a set of in-ear earphones designed in the same manner as EarLove, but as a sonic helper specifically for iPods. This got me thinking about other in-ear devices so I popped over to Shure and found their E3c Sound Isolating Earphones. A challenged was hatched. ...

Bowflex SelectTech Dumbells
(04 April 2005) - I usually Tivo past the Bowflex home training system commercials (most commercials, for that matter). But somehow I caught an ad for their SelectTech Dumbells and was pleasantly surprised. Offering the versatility of a full rack of free weights in the compact form of one heavy dumbell, these weights are perfect for home training in limited space. To use them you just dial the...

First Look: Sonos Digital Music System
(25 March 2005) - Until I had my iPod and Tivo I never knew how much I needed both. Now that I’ve had the opportunity to test out the Sonos Digital Music System, I smack myself in the head and wonder how I ever lived without it. This is one of the coolest gizmos to hit the market in a long time – and it couldn’t be easier...

(22 March 2005) - It's rumored that Thursday's US drop of the Sony Play Stations Portable will be over 1 million units. For those of you in NYC who want to celebrate and even better, get a PSP hours before the rest, there's a launch event at the Sony Style store tomorrow night.

Motorola SCREEN3
(21 March 2005) - At CTIA last week so much of the attention given to Motorola was regarding their deal with Apple to deliver an iPod phone. This seemed to eclipse the announcement of their new SCREEN3 service, which in my opinion is the next killer cell phone app. Basically, SCREEN3 is an always-on data service that pushes text and images to the idle screen of your handset....

SNIF Petworking
(21 March 2005) - SNIF, or Social Networking in Fur, is a project from John Maeda's Physical Language Workshop at the MIT Media Lab. The idea is built on the age old notion of petworking-- meeting people through your pets. In their own words: "SNIF presents a hardware/software architecture that aims to capture pet social networks and other pet-related information as pets and their owners explore their communities."...

The special purpose of Dewanatrons, which are modern solid-state analog instruments, is to grow music live in collaboration with the operators who guide them.

EarLove: Practice Safe Sound
(01 March 2005) - There’s nothing worse than leaving a concert or a night out clubbing and your ears ring so much it’s like the bass and drums left with you. The high decibel levels cause physical damage to your ear drums – and too much exposure can lead to permanent hearing loss. With EarLove, a professional-grade earplug, you can reduce damaging sound levels and still hear the...

Blackberry 7100t: First Impressions
(24 February 2005) - I'm that guy that has a new cell phone every couple months-- constantly trying to find one that I love from top to bottom, and I'm hard to please. I just swapped from a Treo600 to a Blackberry 7100t after an enticing set of deals. My first impressions-- I'm so used to a touch screen from the Treo that I find myself tapping the...
