THE Phone to HAVE: HTC Evo 4G
Sunday, March 28th, 2010Huge-ass screen? Check. Point-and-shoot beating camera? Check. The first Android smartphone to run on a 4G network: priceless? While we’re sure there will be a price to pay for the HTC Evo 4G ($TBA), we also know it’ll be worth paying. Operating on Sprint’s WiMax 4G network, the Evo will offer [...]
Bugatti 16C Galibier
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Four-door Veyron, anyone? While it’s still just a concept — production models aren’t expected to arrive until 2012 — the Bugatti 16C Galibier ($TBA) is very much a sedan successor to the blindingly fast supercar. Its engine will boast the same 8.0-liter W-16 architecture as the Veyron, but will employ two superchargers in place of [...]
Even MORE Bacon love: Bacon Flavored Toothpicks
Saturday, March 27th, 2010We now present the shortest Uncrate post in history: Bacon Flavored Toothpicks ($4/80-pack). Not much else to say, is there?
Casio G’zOne Brigade
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Normally rugged phones offer few, if any, Internet-connected features — apart from the chirps of Nextel push-to-talk conversations that serve as sonic litter on most construction sites, they’re typically just a few steps beyond the StarTacs of old. Not so with the Casio G’zOne Brigade ($250). This water- and shock-resistant handset offers a flip-open design [...]
Reebok Zig Pulse
Saturday, March 27th, 2010As Reebok’s marketing team says, these shoes are “like an energy drink for your feet.” The cartoon-like Reebok Zig Pulse ($100) sport an immediately-noticeable ZigTech foam outsole, which helps transfer energy back-to-front and propel you further with less effort. The springy soles also absorb heel strike impact, reducing wear and tear up to 20% in [...]
BMW Motorsport Z4 GT3
Saturday, March 27th, 2010For those of you who think the Z4 is a too girly for your taste, feast your eyes on the BMW Motorsport Z4 GT3 (€298,000; roughly $410,000). While it’s not meant as a daily — or even on-the-street — driver, the Motorsport Z4 GT3 has you covered in the track performance department, with a 4.0 [...]
PlayStation Move
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Move over, Wii. The PlayStation Move ($TBA) is bringing motion-based gaming to the PS3, in full 1080p glory. The system will use a main motion controller, a “sub-controller,” like a more advanced version of the Wii’s nunchuk, and the Playstation Eye camera to offer precise detection of movement, angle, and absolute position in 3D space, [...]
Timberland Boot Company Counterpane Oxford
Saturday, March 27th, 2010We’ll be the first to admit that the Timberland brand doesn’t make us think of dressy shoes — similarly-named rappers wearing jeans and light tan work boots is more like it — so we were pleasantly surprised by the Timberland Boot Company Counterpane Oxford ($225). Not overly fancy, the Counterpane features a distressed dark brown [...]
