7-inches isn’t enough to get me excited (that sounds so wrong), but the Camangi WebStation ain’t looking to shabby. The touchscreen, which has an 800×480 resolution, looks to be capacitive based on how sensitive it is, and according to the presenter in the video that’s a glass surface (hello fingerprints). Currently the tablet like computer is running Android OS 1.5, while the remaining specs include WiFi b/g, 2 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, a second VGA webcam and a USB port.
There’s no official word on the release date, but word on the street is that it’ll carry a price tag of about $400. For now, I’ll hold off on purchasing anything Android, but based on my limited experience with Motorola’s Droid it’s a super solid OS. And as previously mentioned, 7-inches is still a bit small for my taste, but for those of you looking for an oversized media player, here you go.

The Taga combines a high end stroller with, you guessed it, a bicycle. But of course, like most high end strollers it’s not cheap; it starts at about $2,400.
So what else do you get for all that cash? An aluminum frame, Shimano Nexus Inter-3 internal gear hub, disc brakes, Shimano Nexus roller brake and an average conversion (stroller to bike and vice versa) time of 20 seconds.
Looks a bit dangerous, what with the child’s seat in the front and all, but this would surely go down well with the stroller moms hear in Brentwood.

Yeah, you read the title right. It’s called X-Flex bombproof wallpaper and based on PopSci’s test video I’d say it works. Sure, this isn’t a full sized wall, like you’d find in a building or home, but one can only hope that the wallpaper’s strength scales relative to the wall size.
Applying the X-Flex wallpaper is just like any other. Just peel off the plastic, expose the sticky backing and apply to your wall of choice.

I think I’m in love…with the Stone, Jabra’s lastest consumer grade Bluetooth headset. We covered the launch announcement last month and so far it’s all that it promised to be, aesthetically of course. I just unboxed it so I’m off to the wall socket to get it and the charger/carrying case juiced up. More video and pics after the ‘leap’ …Continue reading: Jabra Stone Bluetooth Headset Unboxing (video)
While I’m not so sure on the design aesthetic, the Chinon Avi is a techy eye catcher nonetheless. It features a 7-inch LCD monitor with a built in TV tuner, a clock, a radio, iPod dock, remote and the typical iPod controls. All this can be yours this holiday season for $200.

We’re still waiting for word to drop on an actual launch day, but until then we’ll take some pleasure in knowing that Sony Ericsson’s first Android phone, the Xperia X10, will launch sometime in February of next year.
In case you forgot this phone has an 8 megapixel camera, a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB of built-in storage, 4 inch touchscreen, WiFi, GPS. 3.5mm headphone jack and more.

No one likes mowing the lawn, but what if I told you could sit back on the porch, sip a cold glass of mom’s home made lemonade all the while trimming the greens? Yeah, I bet you’d be sold.
So it ain’t as simple as cruising down to your local Sears but if you’ve got a penchant for modding things, know what an Arduino is and have a small work shop then you’re probably set…and a little bit of extra spending cash. Video after the ‘leap’ …Continue reading: R/C Controlled Lawnmower (video)

By now everyone and their mother knows that Motorola dropped the ball a few years ago and has been struggling to gain back market share in the US. The RAZR was a massive success but after that it was all downhill – they sort of eclipsed themselves. But alas, the handset maker is back and this time they’ve got a brand new bag: the Motorola DROID! It’s one of Moto’s first Android handsets and based on my quick unboxing video above, I likely. The handset is heavy, but in a good way and nice and solid feeling unlike Apple’s iPhone. Enjoy.
First appearing as an April Fools Joke, the public reception was so overwhelming that an actual product has made it to production. Incorporating all the details that Star Wars Fans know and love, this sleeping bag will surely be all the rage this winter.

Sure, it might burn out a retina or two, but it will all be in the name of entertainment…for your cat. The Bolt Interactive Pet Laser Toy is a glorified laser with a motorized mirror that wobbles around and redirects the eye piercing beam of light all of over the place for Mittens to go b-a-n-a-n-a-s for. By 12 of these, flip them around and you’ll have mini disco bowling pins.
