Flash Player With Speaker
Aiwa AW690 Originally uploaded by thegadgetguy. The Aiwa AW60 flash player includes a micro-speaker among its features, but to save space it was incorporated into the cap that goes over the USB plug. Sure, it probably sounds like crap, but at least it’s there if you need it. I’d guess it’s more useful for playing voice recordings than Jay-Z. There’s only one other player with something similiar, the M-Bird XT-21. The 4-color OLED screen is nice addition but the controls look a little simplistic to be much good for navigation. Other features include FM radio, line-in recording, 128mb-1gb capacity. No pricing or release date. (Via dapreview)

Bust Up Gum Originally uploaded by thegadgetguy. Some things you just can’t make up. And being the magnanimous guy that I am, I consider this post a public service announcement. From the article:”A chewing gum produced by a Japanese company can say the manufactures help enhance the size, shape and tone of the breasts. The gum B2Up is proving to be a big hit say Bust-Up gum, when chewed three or four times a day, the chewy also improves circulation, reduces stress and battles ageing. B2Up contains the plant extract, Pueraria mirifica and works by slowly releasing the compounds it contains. This they say helps to keep the muscle tissue in good order, Pueraria mirifica, also known as Kwao Krua, is a species found in Thailand and Burma, and has been used by indigenous hill tribe people as a traditional medicine for generations. The plant’s tubers contain a number of chemicals called phytoestrogens, including miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, these natural compounds which create the effects of the female sex hormone oestrogen, as they are very close in chemical structure to oestradiol, the main human oestrogen. B2Up says that it is the effect of these two chemicals, coupled with a third phytooestrogen isoflavone, which makes its gum work.”Feel free to insert your own straight line in the comments section.

Muro MR-200 Originally uploaded by thegadgetguy. I’m not quite sure why Muro felt it necessary to give its new MR-200 mp3 player a code name. It’s not like this is some sort of “24″ themed end of the world device which will require Keifer Sutherland to save us all at the last minute. Or is it? “The color” measures only 60 x 38 x 17mm and packs a near-1-inch 65k color OLED screen for displaying MPEG-4 movies and JPEG pictures. Battery life isn’t too shabby; some 13 hours per built-in li-polymer battery charge. Next to MP3 and WMA, Ogg Vorbis is also supported. Direct-encoding can be done into WMA-format, while FM-tuner + recorder & voice recorder are also part of the deal. Of course, “the Color” also supports USB2.0.Capacities and pricing not available yet. Keifer Sutherland sold separately.
Powermate Originally uploaded by thegadgetguy. Most of us (especially us guys) can’t resist the temptation to play with knobs. See a knob, turn a knob. Whether it is a car radio or a home stereo, it is almost as if we are preprogrammed to fiddle with them.Griffn Technology has released what might be the ultitmate knob - the PowerMate:”PowerMate is the coolest volume knob your computer has ever seen - but it’s so much more.

Hydra Brush Ultra Originally uploaded by thegadgetguy. Have you been eating Cadbury Eggs since 7:00 a.m.? Maybe you’ve nibbled the ears off of a couple (or 6 or 7) chocolate bunnies or have had so many Peeps that your teeth feel like a road sander just spread sugar crystals all over them.Well, here’s your solution. From the website for the HydraBrush Ultra:”Other power brushes boast their high speed spinning action (4,000 rpm and more), speeds that generate a feeling of discomfort. HydraBrush on the other hand relies on accurate bristle positioning to obtain effectiveness, and as a result, the brushes can reciprocate at a fraction of the speed of other products, resulting in user enjoyment of a comfortable massage with every use.In addition to six brushes, HydraBrush has four (4) water jets that effectively oral irrigate during the brushing process. HydraBrush is much more effective than other oral irrigation devices because the water jets are preset to an angle that directs the pressurized fluid precisely into the gingival pockets and between teeth, again eliminating the element of human error.HydraBrush, with its six brushes and four water jets all working simultaneously, generates an oral cleansing with effectiveness far beyond that of any other oral care product. The cleaning process is also very enjoyable. A common testimonial of first-time HydraBrush users is along the lines of ‘its like putting your teeth through an automatic car wash’ just enjoy the ride and come out squeaky clean. Another common comment for first-time users is ‘it feels like I just got a cleaning from my dentist.’”About $179.00, click on headline for link.
