Yeah, you're not reading this so you can hear me give the iPod another pat on the back. You know that the new model has Cover Flow, video capabilities and a bigger screen, making it the most functional nano ever made. I want to talk about the design. And man, were we wrong when we called it a Fatty and made fun of its looks. It fits in the palm perfectly, although it seems to ...

You know when your MP3 files are a mess. You have albums by The Beatles, Beatles, and Betles, four copies of the same song in different bitrates, and your friends are boggled by the files in your collection with names like 593_afeerb.mp3 and grtst_Hits_TRACK1_.mp3. It's time to clean them up, but like the junk drawer in your kitchen, the still-packed moving boxes in your basement, or the decade's worth of old clothes in your closet, ...

Leave it to obscure Chinese manufacturers to come up with the CJ7 Dog Doll MP3 Player—a device so hideous it looks as if it was spawned in the fires of hell. Outside of its appearance, the device features 1GB of flash memory, a built-in loudspeaker and a conveniently placed USB butt port. It will only set you back $18.67, but that is still a high price to pay for a device that will surely give ...

You can never have enough storage. LaCie seems to think so too with its new Little Big Disk Quadra 1TB, claiming it to be the industry's largest capacity portable HDD to fit comfortably [just about] in your hand. What is handy though is that it's USB bus-powered, so no need for the usual big, brick-like power block and cable. The chassis houses two, 2.5in 500GB drives working in a RAID 0 configuration. On the speed ...

Forget the boringly-plastic iPod boomboxes we've shown you before: I want one of these. It's in period aviation "Spirit of St Loius" style: wooden cabinet, shiny dials and satisfyingly chunky switches, meant to look like a WWII battlefield radio. Inside there's an iPod dock, CD player and AM-FM radio that's also an alarm clock. It's powered by 8 "D" batteries, so you can haul it along to picnics in the park, and measures 19 x ...

The Flip Video Ultra was already a very small and easy-to-use camcorder but now it’s gotten even smaller with the arrival of the Flip Mino. This little tyke, which we caught a sneak glimpse of here, measures just 4in x 2in x 0.6in, which makes it 40% smaller than the Ultra, which was already very portable. Jump to our review of the Ultra and see why we liked it a lot. Like the Ultra, the ...

"Good computing punch and excessive endurance" is Laptop magazine's verdict of the MSI Wind. The 500-buck UMPC was put through its paces by the team, who put together a bunch of pros and cons. Among the UMPC's favorable features were its relatively big 10-inch screen, a fast boot time and a long battery life—over five hours, in fact. The reviewers also praised its comfortable keyboard and the one-touch TurboDrive CPU overclocking. And so what, as ...

An 8.9" convertable touchscreen laptop packing an Atom processor, it's supposed to be another promising entrant to the lightweight, budget laptop ring. Hopefully we'll know just how budget Gigabyte means within the week. [engadget China via engadget]

The iRiver Spinn, which we saw back at CES, is finally getting a release date. It'll be available in August in the UK in 4, 8 and 16GB models. It'll have Flash support plus a 3D graphics chip to give its UI a little more flashiness, but its analog controls will still be present, as will its 3.2-inch 480x272 screen.

The PSP controls are not horrible—though that analog nub leaves something to be desired—but the DualShock is a far more comfortable controller. Now the fine citizens at AcidMods have hacked the PSP hardware to work with the DualShock. Requiring no changes to the firmware, all functions but the brightness and volume are mapped to the controller. And it seems to work perfectly: Maybe the best part is that the right analog stick has been mapped ...

My wife always hated my DVD collection. A testament to my bachelorhood prominently sitting on a set of shelves in our living room, she would glance over at it like an unwanted dinner guest who had long finished desserts and was now lighting up a cigar in our living room. Drunk. She'd been warming me up to the idea for months, unsuccessfully. We would ditch the cases and file the media neatly into more efficient ...

This year, 341 million touchscreens will ship worldwide. But according to research firm iSuppli, we ain't seen nothing yet. Because by 2012, they claim that these shipments will double (682 million units) with the people of 2013 loving touchscreens even more (833 million units for a market of $6.4 billion). If you're one of those people who hates touchscreen technology, it might be a good time to exit the planet. Sorry. [PCWorld]
