Nokia 5800 XpressMusic on Thursday?

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Even though this phone might look a bit better on the paper than the iPhone, I would really be surprised if it can compete with the Jesus phone at all. Rumour says that it will be unveiled on Thursday. I’ll let you know then…

Creative Japanese barcodes

Amazingly Creative Japanese Barcodes

This kind of creative barcode design is completely new to me, but apparently it’s quite common in Asia - or at least Japan. Here’s a full gallery of some unusual product barcodes. Please comment if you have seen similar designs in your country (or if you are missing out on them as well).

The iPod touch is tough!

This iPod touch got ran over by a big pickup truck, and it’s not as shiny as when the owner unboxed it - but at least it works! Every single pixel on the screen is functional. Impressive.

3D camera from Fujifilm

At least something innovative is released on the, currently quite boring, camera market. This little beast from Fujifilm features two lenses and is capable of capturing stereoscopic images. Neat! Too bad you have to wait until next year to get it though, but at that time Fujifilm promises that the camera will capture high definition video as well.

The sound chaser

The sound chaser

This product is quite useless since the sound it produces is really annoying, but I love the idea. Designer Yuri Suzuki has spliced a vinyl LP into small tracks and created a small little gadget called the ‘sound chaser‘ that basically runs around the track and (kind of) plays whatever is on the original LP.

CVT i3101 iPhone Dock

CVT i3101 iPhone Dock

This might look like just another iPhone/iPod dock, but what I really like with this one is that it’s wall-mountable. I would definitely consider one of these in either my kitchen or bed room. Nice one, especially since it’s quite cheap - only $100.
