Sony NW-S203F: Keep running

Since the iPod and Nike combo is still waddling its way to Asia, Sony decided to make like the hare and hop to the finish line. Who said slow and steady wins the race? We had our foot on the pedometer-enabled NW-S203F and it was a blast. We've seen flashy gym rats stealthily snuck their iPods under their shorts when they spied us huffing and puffing with the Sony. Talk about gym glam. Read our review here

HP announces prices for iPaq rx4540 and rx4240

The handheld maker has just announced the recommended retail prices for its iPaq rx4000-series handhelds. The higher-end rx4540, which comes with an additional 1GB onboard memory, will be priced at S$599 (US$440.44). The entry-level rx4240 will retail for an estimated S$499 (US$366.91).

Both handhelds are expected to be available in Asia in early November 2006. Some of the key features on the two rx4000-series editions are a Samsung 400MHz processor, 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth v2.0, 802.11b/g wireless LAN, SD/MMC expansion slot and 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display. You can get our full review of the rx4540 here.

PSP camera-attachment coming soon

We have cameras in just about everything with a battery, from mobile phones to notebooks to even cars and buses. And you think Sony is going to let up on this one for its PSP? Obviously not.

Come November 2, the camera attachment for your precious PlayStation Portable will be available for a cool S$67, which is about the price of a brand new game. While the PSPJ-15003 is a 1.3-megapixel camera, it is capable of recording only VGA-sized (640 x 480 pixels) stills. Weird, simply weird. Alternatively, you can record 640 x 272-pixel videos at 30fps up to 15 seconds.

No word on when it's coming to Singapore or any other countries outside Japan, but if you can't wait, you can purchase the camera online.

Leaked screenshots of upcoming Windows Mobile OS

Microsoft's next-generation Windows Mobile OS (code-named Crossbow) is once again in the spotlight as what appears to be screenshots of the new operating system were posted on the Web, courtesy of MSMobile.com. From the image of the Today home screen, it seems that Crossbow will adopt a glossier look-and-feel with icons that appear similar to those on Vista.

The new Windows Mobile OS will also come with "strong links to Office 2007 and Exchange 12 for push emails" as well as a built-in instant messenger (most probably Windows Live Messenger). Handhelds with the new OS are expected to be commercially available in the first half of 2007, while Crossbow's successor, Photon, is due to hit the market one year later in 2008.

Dead Fred penholder

Blame it on CSI for a diet of corpses and gore. Fans of the forensic police drama should enjoy Dead Fred, a murdered silicone rubber penholder. Why stop at that? Get the Voodoo Knife Holder and Voodoo Doll Toothpick Holder for a killer collection. Work can be murder. As poor Dead Fred lies prostrate on your desk, you can vent those frustrations with your boss from hell by stabbing his silicone substitute with a pen. Better yet if he's named Fred!
