More PSP Slim Details to Lick

To follow up on our previous PSP Slim news, Rumor Reporter has even more details about the upcoming smaller version of Sony’s portable console. Their sources say (and this contradicts some of Kotaku’s reporting before) the new PSP slim won’t have any big speed increases. In addition, the UMD tray is totally gone.

Oral-B’s Triumph Keeps Your Chompers Clean by Telling You How to Brush

newVideoPlayer("oralb_gawker.flv", 475, 376);

We got the chance to play with Oral-B’s new Triumph electric toothbrush this afternoon. The $149 brush comes with a palm-size wireless display (it uses RF technology to communicate) that provides real-time feedback as you’re brushing so it lets you know how much time you’ve spent brushing and also what quadrant of your mouth you should be brushing.

The Triumph doesn’t have any ultrasound waves, but for all you sensitive gum types (like myself), the brush has four modes: polish, brush, clean and massage. There’s even a built-in pressure sensor that keeps you from brushing too hard. The brush comes out this September for $149. – Louis Ramirez

Sexy Lingerie Phone Strap

If there’s one thing we never thought would be a cellphone strap, it would be lingerie. Well, never count out a horny Japanese businessman, we suppose.

For about $9, you can get your own bra or panties to attach to your cellphone. It’s just a gimmick, and it’s tiny, so it’s probably the only lingerie your wife will permit you to have that doesn’t belong to her. Unless, of course, you’ve been fucking a midget on the side. – Jason Chen

PlayStation 3 Violence Continues Katana-Style

It’s been a month since our last entry in PlayStation 3 Melee Watch, but this most recent instance involves Katanas. Apparently, some home invasionist came knocking on a door in search of a PlayStation 3 (Blu-ray fanatic?), but met with Damien Fernandez and his Katana.

After jumping out of bed and stabbing the intruder in the chest, the two of them ran out of the house, into the street, with Damien chasing after him with the sword. Everything ended peacefully when a K-9 officer found the burglar hiding in a palm tree. – Jason Chen

Control4 HC-300 Home Controller Has an Iron HD Grip on Your Stuff

Video-philes with a control streak can invest in this HC-300 Home Controller to do all their turnings on and off in glorious high definition. Not only does the $699 HC-300 support 720p, there’s a brushed aluminum chassis, Zigbee wireless technology, IR ports, Relays and tons of outputs in the back as well.

What’s the point of this? Just to have a richer GUI compared to other home automation solutions thanks to the HD output. Because we all know how inconvenient it is when you meant to wirelessly shut off the TV but turned off the light instead. Boy, that’s a problem the average working man can relate to. – Jason Chen

Andre the Giant Selected as New Hand Model for iPhone

Hello, I am the Brute Squad and this is my friend Patsy. Looking at the latest product pics, some people are saying that the iPhone is now smaller than it originally was. The fact is that its dimensions have not changed.

See, what happened is that here Patsy was the first hand model for the iPhone money shots. The thing looked so big in his tiny hand that some people thought Walter Mossberg would be able to use it as a surf board. So Steve called and now I am the one who
