Canon has released the LV-7365 projector that boasts some pretty interesting capabilities - it can project a 100" image from a distance of 9.2 feet, and comes with a 1.6x zoom lens that has been multicoated to reduce reflections, flare and ghosting. Brightness levels have been rated at 3,000 ANSI lumens while its contrast ratio is 500 to 1, making it more than suitable for indoor use. Unfortunately, the Canon LV-7365 has a native resolution of just 1,024 x 768. Connectivity options include DVI-I, RCA, D-sub 15, and stereo mini-jack ports. If you're hankering after a mid-range projector, the Canon LV-7365 will be released in the middle of November for $1,499 a pop. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

How lazy can one get not to grind their own salt and pepper? Peugeot drivers, I guess. After all, this is the very same vehicle company that comes up with the Peugeot Elis Electric Saly & Pepper Mills which feature brushed stainless steel as well as acrylic construction, complete with lights and a one-handed operation. You get half a dozen pre-selections for pepper and half that amount for salt. They aren't cheap though, retailing for $200 a set, but at least that price comes with an initial supply of salt or peppercorns to get you started.
Announced at the end of August, the new Nikon Coolpix P5100 camera arrives just 6 months after the P5000. Aimed at the enthusiast photographer who wants some control over what the camera is doing, the 12.1 megapixel Nikon P5100 offers Shutter-priority, Aperture-priority, and full Manual shooting modes. There’s a flash hotshoe which accepts external flashguns, 2.5 inch LCD screen combined with an optical viewfinder, optical image stabilization for blur-free images, and a 3.5x zoom lens (35-123mm). Billed as a backup to a DSLR, the Nikon P5100 costs £299.99 / €450 and competes with the likes of the Canon Powershot G9. Gavin Stoker took the Nikon Coolpix P5100 all the way to Japan in the 
Microsoft intends to usher in the holiday season by introducing a bunch of Zune accessories for all you 1 million plus Zune owners that are manufactured by licensed partners, and among these are the following:
Chicken feet anyway. This must surely be one of the weirder USB flash drive designs to date - I mean, a chicken foot? It comes in 1GB capacity and retails for $44 - certainly not the cheapest around but I suppose you're paying more for the novelty factor anyway. Each purchase comes with a USB cable for you to hook it up to a USB port just in case the chicken foot design gets in the way of other USB devices which are already plugged in. Definitely not a bird-brained move, this.
Eye-Fi has just rolled out its 2GB 
UK Internet pioneer Peter Dawe has announced the Babel TV launch, a device that claims to bring together the benefits of a Freeview “set-top-box”, personal video recorder as well as Internet access. It was specially designed to be dummy-proof and safe to use as an everyday electrical appliance, as all you need to do is plug the Babel TV box into a Freeview aerial and a broadband connection and you're good to go. Benefits include watching TV programmes from the Internet, surfing the web and shopping online, all from the comfort of your living room. Babel TV's technical team will be able to provide all the support you need, and is kid-friendly since parental controls are included. Babel TV boxes will go on sale from November 6th onwards for £295 a pop. You can purchase an additional 1GB of online storage for £1 monthly, allowing you to store approximately 250 audio tracks or 2,000 photos. 
Researchers have successfully developed a low-cost, low-power computer memory that could potentially see it being used in terabyte-sized thumb drives in the near future. This new technique manipulates charged copper particles at the molecular scale, making them 1,000 times as energy-efficient as flash memory. Guess the 8GB and larger USB flash drives we see today are but pittance in comparison, but until then don't throw out your current hardware just yet as you'll be using it for a fair number of years more.
A defensive vehicle powered by a rocket engine control system from Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne was successfully tested when it neutralized a target in a situation that simulated a hostile, in-bound missile. This is the seventh successful test of its kind, making it a key element in the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). Here's more from the 
Athletes do drop dead on the pitch or during training, but I suppose those unfortunate events could have been avoided if the GPS Sports system was implemented before. This device enables coaches to track not only their players' positions and how fast they move, but also their vital statistics as well. Sounds more and more like a top-down view in a video game as those on the sidelines can pinpoint patterns in movement. In addition, the GPS Sports device can also measure the force of a hit a player receives and report it to the relevant authorities. I guess this would work great with the 
No, this MP3 scooter plays no music but comes with three wheels instead in the non-traditional manner - there are two independently suspended front wheels and one located behind, producing sensational handling characteristics to make it the perfect fool-proof learner/commuter bike. This 250cc single-cylinder, injected CVT scooter boasts a maximum speed of over 110kmh which is pretty decent considering the fact that the Piaggio MP3 was designed for city use. Features include a remote button on its key that opens up its underseat storage for helmets and various items and superior fuel economy (something worth considering as the price of fuel doesn't seem to obey the law of gravity and drop, let alone stay put). 
WiBrain has just infused its B1 UMPC with an upgrade, bringing changes not only internally but externally as well with specifications that are bound to please. The keyboard is split down the middle just like its predecessor, but the directional buttons as well as others are placed in the lower left corner unlike before. The B1 is now equipped with a 4.8" WSVGA touchscreen display at 1,024 x 600 resolution, powered by a VIA C7M 1.2GHz processor, a VX700 graphics chipset for 3D support, and 512MB RAM (upgradeable to 1GB). In addition, you also get a 30GB/60GB hard drive and a webcam with microphone for those who want to keep in touch via various IM programs. The new and improved WiBrain B1 UMPC has a battery life of up to 5 hours, making this unsuitable for long haul flights.
Atheros Communications has just released the Atheros ROCm AR6002 family that brings low-power for mobile WLAN solutions, drawing near-zero standby power that has a nominal impact on battery life even when it is active - issues that are close to heart where WiFi-enabled mobile products are concerned. Tests have shown that the Atheros AR6002 utilizes up to 70% less power than other competitive solutions in hte market while downloading content in active mode, resulting in superior battery life that can be translated to an even larger amount of downloads as well as longer talktime between charges. The AR6002 chip has shown to take more than 100 hours to run a standard 3.7V, 800mAh phone battery dry in continual VoIP mode. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see this new Atheros AR6002 solution in devices anytime soon as they will only enter volume production in Q1 2008.
