Gen-X Dual Station console
The Gen-X Dual Station console is a hybrid device that allows you to enjoy the best of both 8- and 16-bit video games, particularly titles on the NES and Sega Genesis platforms. You get a couple of slots that support original cartridges from either system, including Japanese titles. Great for those who have a huge collection of carts but have no idea where to put them. Each $36.89 purchase comes with a pair of controllers and A/V cables. I sometimes wonder why you would want to pick something like this up since the Wii’s Virtual Console is capable of handling games from both the NES and Sega Genesis platforms among numerous others. Of course, if you can’t wait for Nintendo to officially release the titles on either consoles that you really want to play, the Gen-X Dual Station acts as a temporary stop-gap measure.

Mustek has unveiled its new Freestyle! MP3 player that comes in the form factor of a headphone, making it the ideal choice for those living an active lifestyle. Since you wear it like a regular pair of headphones, there is no worry about getting messy wires entangled all over the place.

Interested parties will be able to check out the Mustek Freestyle! at CES 2008, retailing for $69.99 a pop.
The Messenger Speaker Bags might look as though they are more suitable for the fairer sex, but underneath the rather feminine exterior lies a bunch of gadget-centric functions. Each bag comes with integrated controls courtesy of Elektex Smart Fabric icons located on the shoulder straps, enabling users to control volume, select tracks and even pause music on-the-fly without fidgeting with the audio device stored within. You also get NXT speakers located right under its flap, letting you share your mind numbing tunes with everyone else on the tube. The Messenger Speaker Bag retails for $144 a pop and comes in either black or brown colors.
I guess it was just a matter of time before the hugely popular Asus Eee PC gets its fair share of accessories, and this time on an official basis. The range includes a mouse, a headset, a travel adapter and a battery extension pack for frequent travelers. You will be able to choose from a variety of colors where the mouse and headset are concerned, but the travel adapter and battery pack comes only in white - which isn’t too bad when you think about it since the Eee PC itself looks best in white. There is no word on pricing or availability, but these ought to make it to the market sometime early next year (which starts tomorrow, btw).
Sony does not want to be left behind the Penryn bandwagon and has announced that they are preparing to launch Penryn-based notebooks sometime down the road. These new VAIOs are known by their AR7, FZ4, and SZ7 model numbers, boasting Intel’s new Core 2 Duo mobile processor that were manufactured using the 45nm process. Coupled with the Santa Rosa Refresh platform, you get a (theoretically) slightly longer battery life - great for road warriors who cannot bank on the existence of a power outlet wherever they go. No word on pricing and availability of these new notebooks.
