Yamaha’s BODiBEAT plays music in time to your workout

We haven’t seen too many portable audio devices out of Yamaha (well, unless you count scooters), but the company’s new BODiBEAT looks like it could be a big hit with runners. The arm-mounted DAP contains an accelerometer that links to the earphone-mounted pulse monitor, enabling the BODiBEAT to play tracks that match your running rhythm, switching songs as you speed up and slow down. It doesn’t look the like unit actually changes the speed of your music, so Yamaha has thoughtfully included a range of preloaded beat loops that remix themselves at every tempo to cover any gaps. Good thing, too, since the puny 512MB of memory means you’ll be out of music by the end of the block. Expect to see the BODiBEAT popping up at the gym later this summer for an astronomical $299.
This ring is another fashionable addition to the fabbed-from-Apple-notebooks line of geek jewelry—if you’re around six years old. On the other hand, even a six year old can afford it, since it only costs $4
Place the iPod or other music player in this phone shaped pillow, and listen to your favorite music while you relax.
The pillow is covered with a fury fabric, which comes in blue, orange, green, and pink, so there is a color there for everyone and every style. Inside there are two speakers, which are either side of the neck part of the pillow. This mainly being marketed for at kids, but I am sure that does not matter, if you like it, why not get one.
Initially this looks like a bracelet or something, but if you look very closely you can see the hands of the watch and then you realize that this is a watch.
Designer Philippe Starck is well know for his “Out if the Box” thinking, which is clearly displayed in the watch, which he calls a veiled watch, because the watch face is not that clear to see straight away. It is a brilliant piece of illusion and style all in one piece.
This watch is priced at $247
This Incase Protective cover is the first piece of iPhone retail-bait I couldn’t resist in the Apple store. The good: It’s the sleekest of all cases in stock there, so it won’t make your iPhone look like a Tonka truck; it’s rubberized, available in black, red, and grey; and has a neat topographical pattern all over it that supposedly helps grip; cutouts or ridges for all buttons; helps the iPhone fit snuggly in iPod docks.
Tilt is a proof-of-concept game developed by Nicole Lazzaro, Joe Hewitt, Colin Toomey, Kent Bye and Felipe Ortiz during last weekend’s iPhoneDevCamp. To play, you tilt your iPhone to catch each falling block in its properly colored receptacle–blue in blue, green in green. The catch is that the green receptacle only appears when your iPhone is in portrait orientation, the blue in landscape. If you’d like to give it a try, point your iPhone to the game page and give it a try. In the current version, you get only 14 chances to catch and there’s no way to “win”.
Unlike some companies we’ve seen, it appears that Commodore Gaming is actually keeping its word, as the company has just now released the final details on its lineup of flashy US-bound gaming rigs. The Cg, Cgs, Cgx, and Cxx machines progress gradually from least extreme to highly 1337, and all four can be customized to suit your every fantasy. To give you an idea of what’s on tap (if you’ve got the coin), the Cxx packs a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 processor, twin 500GB 7,200RPM hard drives in a RAID 0 array, 2GB of Corsair RAM, DVD-RW optical drive, an 850-watt power supply, Creative’s Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card, Windows Vista, and dual 768MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra GPUs to boot. As far as pricing goes, word on the street is that the base system will start out around $1,700, but we’ll know for sure when these come stateside in Q3.
Style-maven Bang & Olufson has introduced a new DAP into the mix, called the Beosound 6. Breaking from typical B&O design convention — which can often be a little absurd (see the Beosound 2 and 3) — the Beosound 6 is a strikingly simple design; a silver, candy-bar shaped audio player with stripped-down controls and a thin LCD display. Specs are light at the moment, but it looks like standard MP3 / WMA playback, 4GB of flash memory (jettisoning the company’s previous SD storage scheme), a 65K color LCD screen, and USB connectivity. The player will also be accompanied by a leather case and the company’s A8 earphones, and will retail for around £400 ($812 US).
JVC hasn’t shown off any of its fancy Everio camcorders in quite awhile, but it’s making a noticeable return with the HDD / SDHC-compatible GZ-HD3. This handheld camcorder does it up right with a built-in 60GB hard drive, MPEG-2 HD recording (though not Full HD, reportedly), and the ability to capture onto SD / SDHC flash cards. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of details beyond that are readily available, but while you wait patiently for a release date and price, feel free to click on for a few more glamour shots.
