Tamagotchi Music Fever a travesty
What? An MP3 player that doesn’t connect to a computer? This makes the Tamagotchi Music Fever an outrage, as it can only import music directly from a CD player or other audio source, forsaking the favored ‘drag and drop’ technique that has long been a favorite with many an MP3 connoisseur. The Tamagotchi Music Fever was released to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the Tamagotchi franchise, and it retails for $115. It has a storage capacity of a mere 2 hours, making this truly a collector’s item for the hardcore only. Each Tamagotchi Music Fever comes with 19 character types that dance to the currently playing track and two pre-loaded mini games.

SolarCraft has recently announced that the company has installed and commissioned a 1.1 megawatt solar energy system at Paramount Farms, California, making it the largest agricultural solar energy system in that state as well as country. The entire solar energy system spans across a whopping 8 acres, milking every little bit of sunlight possible to help keep the earth green without burning up any more fossil fuels. I wonder why countries in the Middle East and those along the equator can’t do the same since they get a whole lot of sunlight throughout the year.
AOpen does not want to be left behind on the Santa Rosa bandwagon, releasing the miniPC Duo MP965-VDR that comes in a tiny package chock full with features. What you get is a computer based on the Intel GM965 chipset and the Santa Rosa platform, feautring integrated 802.11n draft wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, analog/digital TV reception, and Intel Turbo Memory that purportedly decreases the boot up time and enhances performance across the board for frequently used applications. Sounds similar to the ReadyBoost feature in some way or another, hopefully it delivers on its promise.
While Robosapien et al are the new ruling class of toy robots, the King Titan Robot brings us back to the late 80s and early 90s with its design and updated capabilities. Able to walk and talk, the King Titan Robot comes with a shiny electroplate chrome finish, standing proudly at 15″ tall. Its armor and weapons can be removed, so expect modders to do a number on this one. Other features include preset light and sound effects, an animated data monitor, and a low, low price of $40. The only drawback would be the inability to program it.
NTT DoCoMo has just lifted the curtain on its 3G FOMA SIMPURE L2 cellphone for users who do not want to be hassled by complicated functions. Developed as a collaboration between LG and designer Gwenael Nicolas, the SIMPURE L2 is a slider handset that works with DoCoMo’s WorldWing roaming service as well as W-CDMA, GSM and GPRS networks. The SIMPURE L2 will see a July release, with no word on pricing as at press time. Looks pretty much plain to me in its black shade, but I guess the uppity business suits would love a minimalist concept such as this while packing 3G power. What about you? Flashy or simple?
