Palm and Sprint have announced that the new Palm Pixi will be made available for purchase on November 15. The phone will cost $99.99 after the usual rebates that require you to mail them in. You will also need to sign a 2 year contract to get the phone.
The phone will be made available in various places including Sprint Stores, Online, Best Buy, Radio Shack as well as Wal-Mart stores in some locations.
A quick overview of technical specs only shows what we already know in that it has a multi-touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard and is thin in form factor. The Pixi is Palm’s second WebOS device to hit the market after the Palm Pre that was released earlier this year. [click to continue…]

Canon have announced the Mark 4 version of their EOS-1D camera. The camera comes with a 16.1 megapixel sensor with an ISO range of 100 to 12,800 native all the way up to 102,400.
Other features in the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV include a 45 point area autofocus that is customixable along with 39 high precision cross type focusing points. To capture and process the image the camera has two Digic 4 processors and thanks to all this power the camera can capture full HD video at 1080p.

Art Levedev Studio’s have created another concept gadget. This time they created the Navigarius which is a satnav unit that sports a round screen. It has touchscreen controls, a USB port, microSD slot and is powered by either battery or a lighter socket on your car.
It looks like it belongs in a future concept car and other than looking rather cool it looks like a pretty standard setup with the usual maps and features of ordinary satnav units. [click to continue…]

Digital Photo Frames tend to be kind of boring due to them sitting there just displaying pictures which makes them all the same. Occasionally a slightly nicer interface is available or you might find one that can receive images via email… but they are still boring. This latest one could possibly change that by introducing a DTV tuner that allows you to use the frame as a mini TV.
The photo frame is called the Human-Rh and comes in 2 models which are the 7.6″ HDPF-760D and the 8″ HDPF-800D. [click to continue…]

Last night I attended an event for LG where three new LCD TV’s were on show. The three TV’s included the LG4000 series, LG6100 series and LG7000 series. The showcase TV of the night was the slimline Scarlet (LG6100) as it claims to be the thinnest LCD TV in the world. I have to admit that all three of the TV’s on show had something great about them.

Although mobile phone watches have been available for a while, I have never actually had chance to use one yet. The slightly larger then normal watches have a SIM card slot in which you put your regular SIM and then you can make and take calls from your watch. [click to continue…]

Many of you will have seen the bouncing cars in rap videos, or the competitions that run to see who can get their car to bounce the highest. However, one thing I have never seen is a pedal bike with air suspension built in to raise it up. This “lowrider bike” sports all the usual lowrider type gear such as the many spoke wire wheels and the most important part, the air suspension which allow it to move up and down. You must check out the videos after the jump to see the lowrider bike in action. They are class! The second video also has flames coming out the back.
