It’s taken a little while, but it seems that the first robot based on Microsoft’s Robotics Studio package is now available for sale, although it’s far from a consumer bot. Running a hefty $5,345, the so-called “e-nuvo WALK” robot from Japan’s ZMP (makers of the e-nuvo WHEEL, as well) measures 14 inches tall […]

It looks like the folks at Twinbird have yet another option for those that like to keep all their gadgets waterproof, with it now rolling out the latest entry in its Zabady line: a luggable CD/MP3 player. Unlike wimpy “weather-resistant” players, however, this one seems to be the real deal, with it […]

The Google Gadgets Dashboard integration we told you about yesterday is here, but the bad news is that you’ll need to install Google Desktop to use it. With Spotlight, (pretty great) Widgets, and other applications already native to OS X, is there really a need for Google Desktop just to use Google Gadgets? If you […]

Remember when all our hopes were lost after Fuh Yuan retracted a statement that got us worked up over a $299 HD DVD player at Wal-Mart? Ironically enough, an off-brand player is indeed finally available through the aforementioned retailer some seven months later, but frankly, we’re underwhelmed. Sure, the 1080i SHD7000 […]

Using a retro brick phone doesn’t have to be an exercise in giving up modern features as long as you’re using the Mini Mob. Not only does it look like Zack’s Kelly Kapowski booty call gadget, it’s got an MP3 player, a camera, GSM compatibility and a slot for headphones. And best of all, it’s […]

We’ve already heard about some of TiVo’s plans for two-way communications, and it now looks like the company has used its third quarter earnings to drop a few more hints on the matter, including word of what sounds an awful lot like a Series 4 box. According to TiVo, it and the […]
