The new phone is smaller, lighter, has a touch-screen keyboard, and includes a slew of other new features like bluetooth stereo support (which means you can wirelessly connect the phone to a stereo system) and a smaller but more powerful battery which allows for 50 more hours of talk time than the G1.

Cancer meds can wipe away fingerprints? Crazy...


"A patient who took an anti-cancer drug lost his fingerprints, which caused him to be detained for hours when he tried to visit the United States.The 62-year-old patient had been taking capecitabine, a follow-up drug for chemotherapy for cancer of the head and neck, Singaporean specialist Eng-Huat Tan and colleagues recounted in a letter to the British journal Annals of Oncology."

Microsoft Zune HD


Basically a hi-def, microsoft version of the Ipod Touch. Rumors have been circulating about this device actually coming out, but Microsoft announced the device today. Looks clean. 

"The flash-based Zune HD features a new industrial look compared to the line's earlier understated matte style, and is the first to feature a touchscreen: In this case, it's a 3.3" 16:9 widescreen capacitive OLED with multitouch, packing a resolution of 480x272. The "HD" badging comes from the inclusion of HD radio and HD (720p) video-out, though the latter is available only with an optional docking station. The Zune HD will thus be the world's first portable media player to include HD radio, which offers song and artist info and far better sound quality than traditional radio. It'll also include an accelerometer, which is pretty much standard at this point."

Samsung Jack


The new version of the Blackjack by Samsung for At&T. It looks much more blackberry-like than the previous models, but definitely looks better aesthetically. It features the new Windows mobile 6.1, 3G and Wi-Fi, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. It also features over the air synchronization of contacts, calendar and tasks lists with microsoft exchange server or xpress mail. Via gizmodo.

The Rocking Glass


I saw this at a liqour store in Mahopac, NY sometime last year, and I've wanted a set ever since. The wobbling glass is just a cool idea. It never falls over. The orb shape is also very interesting. Impress your guests at your next cocktail party. Buy em at zwello.

BMW S 1000 RR

If you got the extra dough next year, you can make all your boys with their GSXr's and CBRs look like clowns on the BMW streetbike. Not only cuz of the label, but because it's fast as hell. This bike features a water-cooled inline 4 cylinder motor, whcih puts out about 193 HP!!!It also features factory ABS breaks, traction control, and a high-tech HP gearshift which allows for full power, clutchless upshifts. DOPE. Also, only weighs 453.3 pounds with a full tank of gas. DAMN...

"Minibar"- The First Self Service Bar


If you are ever out in Amsterdam like my boy Deano was this semester, you should definitely check out minibar. It is a self-service by that includes 45 fridges including liqour, beer, soft drinks, snacks and everything else you would need. You gain access to the fridges by a key at the front desk of the bar. I could definitely see me and my friends enjoying myself at the minibar. More pics/info at trendsnow.

Hypermac Extrenal battery pack


The world's first external battery pack for mac laptops. It allows you to power your macbook for up to 32 hours, which is very impressive. It can also charge your computer and iphone simultaneously. This is a great idea considering how worn out batteries become after a few years use. Nobody should have to lose an almost completed paper because he or she is at the library without a charger. The hypermac starts at $199. Get it here!

Pantel outdoor weatherproof HDTV


Now you can watch tv outdoors, in the rain, sun, or sleet! They are rust resistant, can withstand temperatures from -40 to 140 degrees farhenheit, and feature anti-reflective glass screens. Definitely a nice addition to a tailgate, pool party, BBQ, or whatever else you may do outside. The price is a little steep though, starting at $3,000 for the 20 in.  and ending at $26,000 for the 65 in.!??? Via technabob.

Panda Flash Drive


I know all of you college students out there use flashdrives. Most are pretty boring aesthetically, with a little color at best. Well that has changed. Now you can get a cute little panda flashdrive in 4, 8 or 16 GBs of memory. When you purchase one, 5% of it's sale goes to The World Wildlife Fund. Buy one now at amazon.

Palm Pre...


May be dropping on May 19th, according to the Boy Genius Report. The phone, with photos released earlier this year, includes an extremely sleek casing and full QWERTY keyboard, along with a slew of other technologies that will soon be announced. Cop it if you have a contract with sprint! Via the boy genius report.

Maserati Granturismo Drophead Spy Photos


The granturismo is a dope car already, a drophead version would be the ultimate summer night cruiser (Look at those wheels!). From what I can see through the camouflage, the car looks fresh. Autoweek claims it will most likely sport a 433 HP V8 for an S line version, or 403 HP, which are the motors of the hardtop granturismo. Pics and info over at autoweek.

The 2010 Mercedes E Class Coupe


This car is absolutely beautiful. The roofline is reminiscent of my favorite benz, The CLS. Great lines, great lights. Interior is clean as usual, with a new Nav screen similar to the BMW system. Beautiful full length sunroof. Comes in either a 268 HP V6 or 382 HP v8. More at jalopnik.

Samsung Alias 2 E-Ink Flip Phone


This phone looks like the regular alias, but the buttons change from application to application. That means when you flip it open vertically, it will display a full QWERTY keyboard, but if you flip it horizontally, it shows a normal phone pad with D-Pad. Nothing too amazing but a cool and convenient idea that'd be nice to have on future phones. Pics and video at gizmodo.

Resident Evil Degeneration...


For the iphone! RE used to be one of my favorite games as a kid, and is now available for the iphone. It blows my mind how technology has come for mobile entertainment. I thought Game Gear was amazing lol. The graphics look great. More info/pics at at gizmodo.

Blackberry "Onyx"


Fresh new blackberry spotted in public. Crackberry claims it's basically a 3g curve, but it has a very sexy look in shiny black. Hopefully it drops on verizon! More info at crackberry.
