If you're interested in finding that (almost) perfect example of a multimedia convergence device, then it's possible that the CinemaOne might meet your expectations. These days, it's awfully hard to find a single device that covers all of your digital media needs. You've got a standard DVD player, perhaps you've picked up a new Blu-ray player, you've got an iPod dock dedicated for TV-use, you've got a separate amp for your audio needs and possibly even a separate CD player for all your old disks. Add to that a sound system and you've got a lot of decks ...

So, you're a teenage girl (or you know one) and you want to keep your (or her) secrets safe from prying eyes (like those of your annoying little brother).
Seems like a simple enough concept and Take's Secret Diary USB stick just might be exactly what you (or she) is looking for.
To be more accurate, Take not only has a USB stick available, but also a software suite that allows you to record your inner most thoughts in text and pictures.
To start with, the Secret Diary ...

If you're like most gadget addicts these days, you haven't been around nature in a while. If this is you (and let's be honest, it probably is), then perhaps you should consider adding a USB-powered mini greenhouse to your cube. As stupid as it sounds, it just might be a pretty good idea for anyone who spends the majority of their waking hours around the smell of silicon and plastic. Remember that thing called oxygen?
Yeah, plants make it and we humans breathe it.
Having a nice little USB-powered oxygen generator at your workstation or on your desk just ...

Ever find yourself wishing that you could be fed various types of information in various forms by a device that, itself, is vague in form and purpose? Well, if so, you're missing out on a quiet tech revolution that brings us such bizarre little devices as the Nabaztag (above, left) on the high end and the P.C. Gizmo (above, right) on the low end. What are these things? They're, uh, "Internet devices" that sure look friendly enough. Resembling some sort of creature or another, they connect to the Internet and deliver various types of information to you while chirping, talking, ...

It’s been a frugal summer for most, but luckily swimming is still on the agenda. Especially with Michael Phelps’ recent race for Olympic gold, swimming is a hot sport. But in between those races you may have noticed Phelps’ seeming addiction to his iPod, with those token white earbobs popping up every time the camera pans to him.
With the recent jump into the pool, Speedo is just one of many companies that has taken the iPod a bit further.
The Aquabeat ...

There was a time when the only product of any note from WowWee was the original RoboSapien. Remember him? He was neat because he could, you know, walk and stuff. However, if you haven't been by WowWee.com lately, you may not know exactly how crazy those guys have gotten. No, there's more to the site than just RoboSapien 2 pornography, either. WowWee seems to think people want all kinds of robots.
Perhaps you missed out on Sony's robot dog offering, Aibo, ...

Keeping things simple is often times the best bet when it comes to getting your digital media onto your TV--and, it would seem, Iomega's ScreenPlay TV Link is going to help do just that.
The next generation DVD war made everything pretty confusing. HD DVD lost that war, but a new study says people aren't rushing to jump into Blu-Ray, either. Perhaps understandably, since already the next next generation DVD formats are being discussed, with Pioneer ...

For just $480US (or $80 a month for 6 months) you can take gaming way too far with the Gyroxus Full-Motion Game Chair. For most gamers, dropping several hundred dollars on a gaming console system (and additional money on games) is just fine with them. Hardcore PC Gamers take things a little further by spending a grand or two on PCs specifically designed for gaming. Some of the above might even spend $100 on a dedicated gaming chair with built in speakers.
But that's not enough for the people at Gyroxus.com. They hope that at least a few gamers ...

Last weekend, Bandai, makers of all manner of toy in Japan, launched the "Mobile Communicator Smart Berry." No, Bandai has not licensed Blackberry technology, though the Smart Berry could be compared to a Blackberry for kids--more specifically, for girls. After all, these things look positively Hello-Kittyish.
But surely the Japanese wouldn't put the power of a CrackBlackberry in the hands of a child!
Not exactly. This thing can do a good number of things in common with it's Canadian-born cousin. Email, chat and online games are all doable on the Smart Berry--no ...

Earlier this week, here on GadgetAddiction.com, you may have noticed a post about Amazon deciding to redo their online video service, transforming it from a mostly download-based service to a streaming service. Well, it seems like "do-over fever" has hit Amazon because CrunchGear has reported that the big "A" is rumored to be releasing two new versions of their e-book reader, the Kindle.
According to the CrunchGear article, sometime after October 1st, 2008, the Kindle will be available as a smaller ...
