Seabreacher X
By BRIM | August 19, 2010

We’ve seen quite a few personal submarine options lately, but none quite as crazy as the Seabreacher ($65,000 and up). Available in a 155hp, dolphin-inspired J model, or the more badass, shark-bodied 266hp X model, these submersible watercraft can reach up to 50 mph on the surface and up to 25 mph submerged, and are capable of high-speed dives that send the craft launching out of the water. Other features include a snorkel-mounted video camera, an iPod-compatible stereo system, and the ability to scare the bejeezus out of innocent boaters.

The Motorola Droid 2 ($200) packs the same 3.7-inch touch screen as the original, but adds a redesigned slide-out keyboard, 3G Mobile HotSpot capability, Android 2.2, Flash Player 10.1, an enhanced five-megapixel cam with DVD-quality video, DLNA media sharing, and 8GB of integrated memory plus an 8GB microSD card. Also available in a way-cooler limited-edition R2-D2 version.

The Brothers Bray for Sebago Dockworker’s Boot
By BRIM | August 19, 2010

With a mix of styles and materials, The Brothers Bray for Sebago Dockworker’s Boot ($160) is familiar and yet still unique. They feature a leather upper, a moccassin-style toe, an eight-eye lacing system, white contrast stitching, and a lightly-colored welted rubber sole. A little rugged, but refined — sorta like camping in the Four Seasons parking lot.

Camera Phone Lenses
By BRIM | August 19, 2010

The iPhone 4 might well be the best camera phone ever made, but even it can’t overcome the physical limitations of its built-in lens. Or can it? Camera Phone Lenses ($20-$40) attach to it or any other camera-equipped phone via an included magnetic ring, giving you wide angle/macro or fisheye capabilities that go well beyond your average fixed lens. Your DSLR will be jealous.
