Seabreacher X
Thursday, August 19th, 2010We’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 [...]
Motorola Droid 2
Thursday, August 19th, 2010If you enjoy having a robot yelling at you as your default ringtone and don’t want to deal with the bulk and power drain of a 4.3-inch screen, skip the aging Droid and step up to the all-new sequel. The Motorola Droid 2 ($200) packs the same 3.7-inch touch screen as the original, but adds [...]
Camera Phone Lenses
Thursday, August 19th, 2010The 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 [...]

Sony NEX-VG10 Handycam
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Not content to simply let its nearly pocket-sized NEX-5 Camera shoot 1080p video, Sony’s taken the next step and built an actual camcorder around its 14.2 megapixel APS-C sensor. The result is the Sony NEX-VG10 Handycam ($2,000), which Sony claims is the “world’s first consumer interchangeable lens camcorder.” Powered by the aforementioned Exmor [...]
iPhone 4
Thursday, June 10th, 2010Sure, you’ve seen it before, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing. (This official announcement does, however, make it a little less illegal.) Taking a huge leap from the past three iterations, iPhone 4 ($200-$300) makes up for the past six months of killer Android releases with features like an Apple [...]
Alice for iPad: Reading to the NEXT generation
Monday, April 26th, 2010We’re not ready to call it the coolest iPad app we’ve seen yet, but Alice for iPad ($9) is the best illustration yet of the iPad’s advantages over the Kindle when it comes to breakthrough reading experiences. Featuring every illustration from the original Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, these restored, [...]
Sony W250 Waterproof Walkman
Monday, April 26th, 2010Sony might not have an iPod killer, but they do have something Apple doesn’t: a water resistant MP3 player. The Sony W250 Waterproof Walkman ($60) is a pill-shaped player available in a 2GB capacity, and offering built-in 13.5mm EX in-ear headphones, MP3, WMA, and AAC playback, up to 11 hours of [...]
B-Cycle
Monday, April 26th, 2010We’re big fans of Zipcar, the car sharing service, so it only makes sense that we’d be pumped about B-Cycle. A collaboration between Humana, Trek, and ad house Cripsin Porter + Bogusky, B-Cycle will soon be launching in Denver, with expansion plans in the works. Simply walk up to the [...]
