There are no words… they should have sent… a poet… (Click through to see me getting motion sickness playing Gears of War and Forza 2 as well. Video of said activities will be coming next week.)
The GP2X emulator-friendly handheld game unit is about to get an upgrade. THE GP2X F-200 game system comes in white, but has “Dual CPU Cores,” 64MB flash ram, USB 2.0, runs Linux, plays back DivX, XviD, MPEG4, MP3, OGG, supports video encoded at 720×480 resolution video at 30fps, SMI subtitles, TV-Out, E-Book viewer (txt files only), photo viewer and has a screen of 320×240 QVGA resolution. No price yet, but it’s available in October. [Play Asia - Thanks Christian!]
This Tempo design project is a small, recycle bin-like external hard drive that’s supposed to save your files from deletion hell. Whenever you delete a file, your OS transfers the file over to Tempo wirelessly, which then keeps the file temporarily until it’s out of space. LEDs light up the tempo from the bottom up, which lets you see how full it is at a glance. This one awesome design project that we hope can be birthed in some form or another.

Boy Genius Report says they’ve been told that the BlackBerry Pearl 2 will be vomited up like so much turkey dinner this Thanksgiving dinner. The bucket? Sprint, who will also add GPS to the mix. Not much other detail on this BB2 as of yet, including pricing. [Boy Genius Report]
These may look like regular headphones, but the spikes on the top are designed to shock your hair into behaving. And by behaving, we mean grow again. The KeUpper, made in Japan, is supposed to make you slightly less bald in just tens of weeks. Sounds just as good as that Hairmax Laser we tested. [Kilian Nakamura]
We’ve gotten some independent confirmation/rumors on the leaked Sprint roadmap we posted on Tuesday. Our source is saying that the Moto ic602 and Moto V9M will come in September, the Sanyo S500 S1 and HTC Vogue will come in October, the Moto Q9c and LG 260 will come in November, and the international Blackjack will come in 2008. That lines up fairly well with the previous roadmap, but as with all roadmaps, the actual launch dates are anything but set in stone. [Thanks Tipster!]
Does your inhaler look as drab as an IBM Thinkpad? Never fear—your asthma meds get a stylish makeover with Respire’s magnetic silver container. On sale for about $15, these sleek geek accessories come in two sizes, with glossy or satin finish. I love the weird ad copy from Respire, which claims its cases are made with “the latest technology” in order to “keep your inhaler away from dust and fluff.” Plus, as a bonus, they “feel good in the hand.” Asthma chic has arrived, my friends! Huff on over to Respire. [Medgadget]
Who knew a lowly router could be so sexy? We got our hands on one of these 802.11n draft 2.0 Belkin N1 Vision routers today, and it looks just as smooth, aerodynamic and downright alluring in our hands as it does in its publicity photos. We’re especially attracted to its interactive network display, showing us exactly what’s going on all over our local net—who’s downloading what and how quickly—blasting out more info than we’ve ever seen on a consumer router. Nice.
newVideoPlayer("sprintblackberry_gawker.flv", 475, 376); This $10.5 million cellphone from Sprint comes with many nice features we’ve covered before, but has a delicious bonus that you can’t find anywhere else. We’re in for five. You win again, advertising. [Sprint]
We’re not really sure what’s going on with this chocolate calculator, or Chocolator, but we’re pretty sure it’s not edible. Well, probably more edible than the LG Chocolate, but less edible than say, an actual chocolate bar without electronics inside. Now I can do my taxes and make a big mess all at the same time.
