n800, portable, pocket, 770
...
One of my favorite devices over the past year has been the Nokia 770, I own one, it's great. Its a pretty amazing thing to have what is basically a full blown computer in your pocket runs a very capable version of Linux. Nokia has decided to bump up their 770 and rename it the N800, making it an official part of Nokia's prestigious N series of "mobile computers". Although not a lot of changes were made, there was definitely enough to warrant a new exterior and a new model scheme altogether. What they have added to this already capable device is a VGA camer with video VOIP capabilities, Dual SD card slots that replace the MMC Mobile slot, a new case design, dual stereo speakers, 128mb internal memory(up from 64m)and a scroll rocker button for web browsing. All in all I feel that this update offers some great improvements that make an allready fantastic device even better.

tamagotchi, toys, bandai, japan
...
Because I have a penchant for fun and crazy Japanese gadgets I had to cover this one. Believe it or not, Tamagotchi is actually ten years old. Bandai is taking the opportunity to put out a celebrate by offering up a special 10 year anniversary version of everyone's favorite toy about nothing. It's pretty amazing that it has been so long since everyone started taking care of a little pocket sized electronic devices, electronic devices that did nothing but think of themselves. I have to say though that one can't help falling in love with electronics that have human like qualities. Ah, Bandai, you just know how to bring the magic home. All in all there will be 1000 of each of 3 colors of the 10 Year Tamagotchis offered up. Now run out and make yourself the happy parent of your very own Tamagotchi again, who knows, you may be able to have a "My Tamagotchi was Student of the Month" bumper sticker on your bumper before you know it.
