Escort releases Redline radar detector
What’s the point of having a high revving sports car if you can’t push it to the limit on ordinary roads? Of course, most supercars can also be driven slowly to cruise past busy spots so that majority of working class folks would look on in envy, but paying off a speeding ticket (or tickets, depending on your luck) just because you wanted to let ‘er rip down that straightaway is a bummer. Escort hopes their Redline radar detector ought to prevent that from happening to you ever again since it features dual antennas that make the range a whole lot longer compared to other radar detectors. So long, in fact, that Escort proudly claims for it to recognize radar and laser signatures from as far as 13 miles away. No idea on how much truth is there, but the $499.95 investment you make here could save you thousands in speeding tickets sometime down the road.

BeamBox unveils MiLi universal charger
BeamBox moves away from their pico projector projects for the moment by offering something that most gadget lovers would find useful – the MiLi universal charger.

Seeing that this is all you need and can be used worldwide, it makes sense for the MiLi to play nice with 12-24V DC power or 100-240V AC power. Apart from that, there is also the inclusion of over-current and short-circuit protection for added safety. If you’re interested in picking this up, you can choose from 9 various colors, where the pre-order is going fro $37/£20.

T-Mobile will be lining up HTC’s Touch Pro2 when August 12 rolls around later next month. This powerful yet stylish business-class device is pretty much similar to many other high end smartphones in the market, where it boasts an intuitive touchscreen display and a user interface that makes it a snap for customers to simplify their communication and mobile Internet experience while staying connected and informed at all times – subject to battery life, of course, as these kinds of high end devices tend to sap battery power like nobody’s business. Folks who want to pick up the HTC Touch Pro2 in mocha finish from T-Mobile can do so from August 12 onwards.

AT&T offers Samsung Solstice
AT&T has teamed up with Samsung Telecommunications America (aka Samsung Mobile) to bring the Samsung Solstice to US shores when August 2 rolls around.

Packaged in an easy-to-use, polished design, the Samsung Solstice is lightweight and sleek, making it look like a decent phone for your teens, although they might beg to differ and hanker after an iPhone just like the millions of other folks around the world.

The Undercover Laptop Sleeve disguises your laptop
When the MacBook Air came out, there were several laptop sleeves that looked like nice tidy envelopes to store your MacBook within. All of course imitating the tidy envelope Steve Jobs originally pulled the Air out of. Well instead of going with something as clean and obvious as that, perhaps you could protect your laptop with something a little more on the subtle side. With this it will just look like an old tattered envelope and might keep people from stealing your laptop.

Easy Piano for Nintendo DS
I’m not certain what it is with video game accessories these days. It’s almost like you can’t release a successful game without one. It would appear that Easy Piano has stolen a page from the Guitar Hero playbook by including a fake instrument with their game.
You will note the eight note full-octave keyboard peripheral that attaches directly to the DS itself, and playing it is, of course, part of the game. The end result looks like a sliced section of a Casio keyboard.
