The long wait is over, and Nokia has officially unveiled the N95 that will appear only in North America. What makes this revamped smartphone all the more special is the inclusion of 8GB of flash memory in addition to double the RAM and a 2GB microSD card thrown into the package for good measure. The removal of the camera lens also ushers in a larger capacity battery (1200mAh), giving users an additional 30% of battery life. Other features like the 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, A-GPS with Nokia Maps, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and integrated Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi connectivity remains. The price to stay at the forefront of things? A wallet crushing $699.

Buffalo is at it again with yet another USB flash drive, and this time the RUF2-HSC4G will take centre stage. This is no ordinary 4GB USB flash drive as it features AES Encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard @ 128-bits), making it nigh impossible for those who want to access your private data stored inside. Just make sure you don’t forget the assigned password lest all data within is lost. I personally prefer a biometric solution as that does away with the pesky need to remember passwords.

The Nokia N81 is finally here, and here’s the full skinny on it. For starters, it is available in two flavors, where the first comes with 8GB of integrated flash memory while the other will rely on a microSD card. I would personally gun for the microSD card version - although that would mean I can’t carry that much data at one go, at least I can separate my audio, video, and work files across several microSD cards. Other shared features include stereo speakers, support for popular audio formats, N-Gage compatibility, an FM receiver, a Navi Wheel, and RealPlayer pre-loaded. There is no word on pricing, but cheap is definitely not an adjective to be used here. The Nokia N81 will be released in Q4 this year.

Want to get that creep off your back? This Pepper Spray Stunning Ring would do the trick, although the tackiness of such a design would probably make any self-respecting male steer clear of you in the first place. The ring is capable of holding the strongest dose of pepper spray currently available, and that amounts up to more than 400 times the amount of jalapeno. It will project a 12″ spray in a cone, causing an intense burning sensation to whoever is bothering you more than you’d like. Just make sure the shot counts as refills will set you back by $8 a pop. The Pepper Spray Stunning Ring is currently going for $30.
