OSIM iGoGo: That hottie MP3 player
Edvarcl Heng | Sep 15, 2006
We all know how therapeutic New Age music can be while stuck on the daily commute. But imagine how incredibly therapeutic it can be if someone pairs a portable massager with your MP3 player?
The iGoGo MP3 player comes with two separate hydro-gel pads that're connected to the main unit via RF wireless technology. So no disgusting wire tangles. Stick the two pads on your aching shoulders and sit back as the iGoGo massages your muscles in synchronization with your music. It comes with seven different massage programs, and if you are feeling particularly generous, one iGoGo main unit can be paired with four different hydro-gel pads, so you can share the kneading goodness with a fellow commuter. Comes with a 128MB memory and MMC expandability.

Apple iPhone hoax...again
Reuben Lee | Sep 15, 2006
The long-rumored Apple iPhone recently hit the headlines again when French publication 20 Minutes published a full-page picture of what it claimed was the much-anticipated mobile phone from the Cupertino company. Not surprisingly, the news spread like wildfire across the Internet, especially since the photo was credited to Apple.
The buzz subsided only when the papers confirmed that the photo was a fake. Believe or not, the editor of the French newspaper claimed that the wrongly credited image was a result of a journalist's "desire for the product to exist". It was, in fact, an image produced by MDI Digital, a British design firm. The article itself was about Apple's newly launched iPods and Disney movie service. (Picture taken from CNET's Alpha blog.)
Nokia's consumer clamshell
Reuben Lee | Sep 15, 2006
The Finnish mobile manufacturer recently announced the Nokia 6085, a clamshell phone targeted at the everyday user. Expected in the last quarter of 2006, this quadband handset promises a good balance of multimedia features, from onboard VGA camera and music player to video recording and expandable memory. It also comes with FM radio (including Visual Radio) as well as A2DP-enabled Bluetooth connectivity for wireless stereo headsets.
Available in four colors (black, gold, silver and pink), the 6085 offers users the option of flight mode, where cellular functions are disabled for use on phone-restricted areas such as planes. Other noteworthy features include an XHTML browser, EGDE support and an onboard Macromedia Flash Player 2.0.
Wild West Gunslinger Game
Juniper Foo | Sep 15, 2006
Say no more. We want one of these. Looking a lot more fun than the Duck Shooting Gallery, this one brings ye'all back to the Wild Wild West where outlaws and lawmen rode the untamed lands. There are no rules. Simply take aim and fire. The log features four infrared sensors along the top edge, which are connected to four plastic plugs. So when you hit a target, it actually springs up into the air, complete with that gunshot "pioowww" so familiar in spaghetti westerns like Fistful of Dollars and Gunfight at the OK Corral. So think you can outdraw Quick Draw McGraw? Time to brush up your marksmanship if you plan to be the last man standing.
