New PoGo Instant Digital Camera Still No Instamatic, But Cool Enough
3:45AM Jesus Diaz | No matter what they do, the new Polaroid PoGo Instant digicam will never have the magic nature, heartwarming charm, and craptastic retro quality of their good old Instamatics. But they are kind of cool, anyway. More »

Delta’s Bringing In-Flight Wi-Fi to Its Entire U.S. Fleet
11:12PM John Mahoney | Delta will join the other airlines using Aircell’s GoGo cellular data service, becoming the first of the U.S. biggies to announce concrete plans for a fleet-wide rollout.

There goes our last possible Internet-free haven…I mean, yay! Read on for the full release: More »

Try AT&T’s Pogo 3D Web Browser
9:15AM Matt Buchanan | AT&T’s doing a desktop browser called Pogo–it’s a “3D visual web browser” built on Firefox 2. (They’re moving it to Firefox 3 currently.) It has some graphically interesting ways of doing bookmarks, history (probably my favourite feature with a Time Machine-like 3D timeline) and tabs, and a dock along the bottom. I’m kind of mixed on it so far–the eye candy doesn’t always translate into more productive browsing–but they’re looking to spread out the beta pool and have given us a code that’s good for 500 downloads if you want to check it out. Update: Code is DEAD! But we’re trying to get more. More »

You Can Finally Pogo Stick In a Pool Thanks to Hammacher Schlemmer
6:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | The swimming pool was really the only place left on Earth where extreme pogo stick users couldn’t rip mad tricks. Until now. “The Only Underwater Pogo Stick” was designed for use in the pool, and allows you to easily “perform a variety of waterborne stunts as you bounce off walls or bottoms.” Instead of a traditional spring (which is for landlubbing amateurs), a rigid ball filled with water fits into the footrest, and lets you bounce about in shallow water or “bound powerfully” in the deep end. Works with in-ground pools only for US$60. [Hammacher Schlemmer] More »
