| Wine bottle thumb drive brimming with exclusive drink content Posted: 29 Oct 2007 03:45 AM CDT USB flash memory drives in bizarre shapes are nothing new, but with the exception of the U3 portable app suite preloaded content has always been a little underbaked. A French wine company based in the tipple-friendly Bordeaux region is looking to change all that, however, with the release of the oddly-named Be Wine Connected: a bottle-shaped thumb drive complete with exclusive content about the drink as well as Open Cellar software to manage your own wine collection.

| T-Mobile Shadow - Formerly known as the HTC Juno Posted: 29 Oct 2007 12:36 AM CDT If you haven’t seen the HTC Juno, which is now called the T-Mobile Shadow, this is the perfect time to check it out. We’ve gotten our hands on all of the info and a few pictures for you viewing pleasure.
The Shadow is a slider phone, which means you won’t be getting a QWERTY keyboard, however it still has plenty to offer. It’s powered by Windows Mobile 6 and features a 2.0 megapixel camera with video capture, and while it only runs off of an EDGE network, it features WiFi support for faster speeds when you’re near a hotspot.

| Posted: 28 Oct 2007 02:02 PM CDT It's a new addition to the LG Shine lineup, a LG Shine with a stainless steel cover that is etched to look like wood. Really it looks pretty nice, but sadly it appears to only be available in Korea.
Other features include DMB-TV, a two-megapixel camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth (hopefully with A2DP support), and an Electronic Dictionary. That's a pretty good list of features for a clamshell. Relevant EntryCopyright © 2006-2007 SlashGear |
| Natural Sounds Enterprise D9280C Posted: 28 Oct 2007 01:55 PM CDT Well I guess there has been crazier stuff come out of China than this. But it appears from the design of this player; the designers over at Natural Sounds Enterprise have officially lost it.
They decided to completely disregard the user's experience, I mean, just look at that highly confusing array of buttons on the front. It does however have a 2" screen, a USB 2.0 port, and SD/MMC card slots, which should make connectivity and storage a breeze. Relevant EntryCopyright © 2006-2007 SlashGear |

| Sharper Image Wireless Outdoor Monophonic One-Speaker System Posted: 28 Oct 2007 01:36 PM CDT Sure, wireless speakers aren't all that new, neither are outdoor speakers, but a smart combination of the two brought to you by Sharper Image, well that's nearly a work of art. They use 2.4GHz signals, so you'll have to make sure it doesn't interfere with any of your other gear.
Other than that, all you need is an audio source that uses a standard headphone jack for its output. You can also by a second speaker, to make it stereo, its not another one of the main unit, it's a special auxiliary speaker. Relevant EntryCopyright © 2006-2007 SlashGear |
| Volkswagen makes its way into the flash memory business Posted: 28 Oct 2007 01:21 PM CDT Well, not really, Volkswagen the company actually has nothing to do with these cute little flash drives modeled after their more famous vehicles. There are 4 models, 2 beetles, and 2 campers.
The Beetles come in pink or blue and the campers come in green or red. When you are transferring data and all that good stuff, the lights flash and there are horns that honk too. Relevant EntryCopyright © 2006-2007 SlashGear |
