Garmin's Colorado line inches closer to official

Garmin's Colorado

Just a day after uncovering what appears to be Garmin's CES 2008 lineup, we've now got reason to believe that the Colorado series is all but official. After first seeing the unit rumored last month, quickly "confirmed" and clarified yet again within the past 24 hours, we're now hearing that the series will boast four different models and will undoubtedly cater to the outdoorsy set. Reportedly, the Colorado will be offered up in four flavors: the 300, 400t, 400i and 400c. The whole lot will tout the firm's new "Rock 'n Roller" input wheel, an SD expansion slot, wireless sharing of waypoints, routes and geocaches, a 400 x 240 resolution display and a battery life of around 15 hours. Word on the street has 'em landing this month and next, and while the 300 is set to launch at $499.99, each of the 400 variants will demand $599.99. Hit the read link for the full spill, and be on the lookout for Garmin to fess up soon enough.

Callpod Phoenix: conference calling the Bluetooth headset way

Callpod Phoenix

That little pod in the center there is Callpod's Phoenix, a rather unique Bluetooth device that can hook up to five Bluetooth headsets together simultaneously for full-duplex conference calling through Skype or the Bluetooth capable cellphone of your choice. Those buds around the Phoenix are none other than Callpod's own Dragon model, and although pretty much any headsets should work with the system, using Dragons offers the addition of push-to-talk -- a boon we'd imagine for improving call quality when you're all hunched around a Phoenix in, say, the back of a cab. The device is wireless and rechargeable with fresh juice coming in courtesy of a mini USB port. The anticipated December '07 launch promised on Callpod's site has come and gone and we've yet to get updated pricing and availability details, but we may see it shown live at CES -- so stay on the edge of your seats, you teleconference fanatics.

Joby introduces Zivio Bluetooth headset with boom mic

Joby Zivio Bluetooth

Generally speaking, boom microphones run counter to the logic that a Bluetooth headset should be as small and discreet as possible, but Joby may have stumbled upon a solution that brings the audio benefits without making the sides of our faces look too ridiculous. The Zivio Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR headset features a small, stylish body just 53.5mm in length and a retractable metal stalk for the boom; when it's fully extended, you're looking at a 137mm long wonder with the mic conveniently placed directly in front of your pie hole. The idea is to maximize the voice to background noise ratio while maintaining some semblance of fashion, and if the actual product holds true to the press shots, it looks like they may have succeeded. Look for an official unveiling at CES next week.

For Photogs/Pervs: Camera Phone Telescope

The Brando (not again) Mobile Phone Telescope was made specifically for Motorola RAZRs and KRZRs and attaches to the phone for 6x magnification. They run $19.

Overcome the short coming of camera cellphone that can only near-sighted, it also makes distant view for you at the moment. The new design to run of rays can effectively avoid the contortion of image, and makes the super wide angle, the larger luminous flux, the higher visual acuteness, good for color reduction, which makes the high quality of photography. It can take a picture while fixing the telescope on back shell. (If the screen of your cellphone is analyzed degree enought, you can adjust the focus with the screen of the cellphone).

Well there you have it folks, straight from Brando, a bunch of shit that doesn't making any sense. I thought for sure they'd mention that putting the thing in your pocket would make it look like you have a raging mini-boner. Which is why I bought one, and I don't even own a Motorola. Mobile Phone Telescope lets you peek on the go [dvice]

Heat Sensitive Toilet Seat Provides Clues

When I first saw this picture, before I read the article, I assumed it was a heated toilet seat that changed color to let you know if you were about to sit on a cold seat. Well, it's actually the opposite. The Thermochromatic Toilet Seat was designed to warn you whether another individual has used the unit recently. Apparently because it's disturbing to sit on a seat still warm from another's rear. I personally seek out the hot seat, but that's just me. What I typically do is stand on the tank of a toilet in an adjacent stall, peering over the wall waiting for the person to stand up. As soon as they do I leap over the divider and seat myself before they've even got their pants up. I'm telling you, I like them hot. Thermochromatic Toilet Seat [ubergizmo]

Rotating Boat Wheel In Scotland Has Potential

The Falkirk boat wheel in Scotland is the world's first and connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. "With a diameter of 35-meters, it boasts two axe-shaped arms and water-filled caissons boasting an 80,000-gallon capacity, capable of lifting 600-tons (combined)." The thing cost almost $35 million to build, but only needs 22.5kW to run its motors. Pretty neat, I think it's got some potential. Potential for a role in an action movie that is. I'm thinking a boat chase, and this thing going maybe 20 to 30 times faster than it normally does, and then the bad guys getting chopped up and all bloody in it. Yeah! Then the scene ends with a dolphin humping a sea otter. (the process normally takes around 7 minutes).
