Super Mario is a truly global phenom and testament to this is this neat India’s Got Talent recreation of the Super Mario game play with real people. The contestants borrow heavily from those Japanese game shows where the participants are dressed in black and move other participants around against a black backdrop to create some cool scenes.
The Lego Block Calculator is another cool Lego based gadget we have come across. Built to look like it was built form Lego (confused?), the block calculator does all your usual calculator-like stuff but inside a cool Lego body. One for the hardcore geeks or 6-year-olds methinks.
The new LG Chocolate BL40 is sexy. Nay, it’s very sexy. We were all drooling over the HTC Hero a few weeks back but this steps up the desirability factor by 10. The LG BL40 boasts A 4 inch (yes, 4inches) multi-touch screen cosseted under scratch resistant glass and an impressively thin chassis is just the tip of this handset’s chocolate covered iceberg.
The PocketSurfer3 (preceded by the PocketSurfer1 and 2 of course), will have an officially release date in the UK and rumours (rumours we say) of a USA release date. The third-generation DataWind PocketSurfer comes in PocketSurfer3 and PocketSurfer3 Lite varieties. Both come with 30 hours of Internet access each month and feature a new touchpad to make for easy navigation alongside a generous 7-inch LCD display.
OK, now we can’t be 100% sure that these are real but these images of the new Google Chrome OS screen shots are post-worthy nonetheless. Allegedly (and you know we’re on thin ground here) a Google Chrome insider demonstrated the new beta Google Chrome OS to an Acer supplier yesterday and lo and behold we have the leaked screenshots.
The Sony Ericsson Rachael has been making waves round these parts (the gadget blogosphere) and we have finally seen the UI in action. Looking like a pimped out Sony Ericsson interfaces molded on top of and Android OS, with all the Facebook, Twitter and SMS connectivity on display the Sony Ericsson Rachael definitely looks like a phone for the web 2.0 and social network generation (that’s us in case your wondering).
The Transformers Nikes are definitely made for the pseudo collector / eBay crowd. On face value, the Transformers Nikes are pretty lame looking and only pre-teens could justifiably pull-off the look. On the other hand, they may be so retro that Kanye West is likely to have a pair of these for every day of the week. We haven’t decide yet.
The Thanko Silent Keyboard EX is for those of us you who want to tap quietly at our keyboard without anybody looking at what we’re doing. This new version of Thanko’s Silent Keyboard is the EX edition meaning that it’s a whole 16.5 dB quieter than the old one which will be big news for all you ninja (and library) types.
The LG GC990 Louvre cameraphone boasts a (seemingly) impressive 12.1 megapixels. Why ’seemingly’ we hear you ask? Well, after 5 or so megapixels the human eye will not necessarily notice the difference in quality per megapixel. It is only when the picture is enlarged past a certain point that any difference may become clear and the LG GC990 Louvre 3.2inch screen, large as it is, probably won’t give any but the most eagle-eyed a thrill no matter how many megapixels it packs in.
The LEGO Combination Safe is the perfect place to store your monopoly winnings and the odd tuppence for your kids. Any serious career criminal will have it destroyed with the age of a large hammer or a high height fairly quickly. Until then, we’ll enjoy the LEGO Combination Safe as the work of Lego art that it is.
