The Cupertino rumor mill is a buzz again. Like a voice crying in the wilderness, and fresh off the heels of a Steve Jobs promise that more interesting products are coming in the fall, The Giz is reporting a rumor that the long speculated MacBook Tablet will be shipping this October.
Sure, we have covered Parrot products before, with their MINIKIT, NFC, and Digital Frame products, and so it stands to reason they would make Bluetooth Hands-Free kits. One of their latest products is the MK6100, which allows for easy, hands-free Bluetooth compatibility.
Considering the new laws that have been passed in certain countries that require hands-free wireless devices for communication in automobiles, the MK6100 comes at an opportune time. One of its main features is that it allows users to establish a phone conversation in a vehicle without the use of a phone. The pairing has been made very simple, and all it requires is hitting the green button, and the call is picked up.
For those of you that play something besides the plastic guitars for Guitar Hero, Belkin has created a magnetic device to make your gigs run a bit more smoothly. If you enjoy the ability of switching between guitars a whole lot, without wanting to put your amp on standby, this little connector is worth a try. It is very similar to the connectors used on MacBooks, the magnetic part that attaches to the laptop. Which also hopefully means when some drunk manages to pull your cord by tripping over it, it will cause less issues.
You may look at this picture and wonder if the Virtual Pet is making a comeback, but it is actually something new altogether with the Jinsei Game Punchi.
Takara Tomy is releasing this electronic game to celebrate Jinsei, which we know as the game of Life. I’m sure all have you have at least heard of the game of Life, where you have to make money, get a house, have kids, all with that really odd spinner. In other words, it’s your life, but in game form to make it fun.
The Jinsei Game Puchi takes this game of Life to the next level as you must take 300 steps before the spinner will spin. There is a pedometer to measure the amount of steps of taken, but I suppose cheaters could just shake it.
With the Star Wars trilogy (and yes it’s just a trilogy) being what it is, they can slap their name on pretty much anything they like. That includes this shiny new MP3 player. It may not have anything special about it, it is after all just a random nameless MP3 player. However, it has Darth Vader slapped on the front giving it lots more geek appeal. Why they couldn’t just do something cool with a normal iPod, we’ll never know. Yet, I’m sure plenty will line up to pick up one of these slightly generic MP3 players.
Victor Company of Japan is first off the blocks to release the industry’s maiden sound-isolating earphone whose driver unit is located in its sound channel (the part that enters an earhole). The earphone will be known as the HP-FXC50, and it will hit Japan early next month. The driver unit of the HP-FXC50 is much longer and thinner, measuring 5.8mm in diameter, compared to the current model, allowing it to be installed in the sound channel. In addition, the distance between the driver unit and a drum membrane has been shortened to reduce both external sound and sound leakage. Thanks to the longer sound channel, the comfort level of the HP-FXC50 has clearly improved according to Victor. You will find features such as a frequency range from 10 to 24000Hz, a response (output sound pressure level) of 103dB/1mW and a maximum permissible input of 150mW. There is no word on pricing, but it should retail somewhere in the neighborhood of $38.

Just how hot do you think that the iPhone 3G has gotten? It seems that pent up demand for this smartphone has reflected in insane prices on eBay, with some of the bids already surpassing the magical $1,000 mark. Heck, even in the real world, demand for the iPhone 3G still results in lines forming outside of more notable Apple stores including the one in New York. So far, over 1 million units worldwide has already been sold, and demand remains extremely strong with both AT&T in the U.S. and O2 in the U.K. reporting iPhone 3G shortages. Currently, bids on eBay or the 16GB iPhone has passed the $1,0000 mark with even one bid ending at a ridiculous $2,325, while the smaller capacity 8GB iPhone 3G averages around $800 to $900. There’s a trick to all this – delayed gratification is the keyword, folks.
