Play music in the car using an FM modulator

Want sweet iPod tunes in your car, but don't want the static and tinny sound generated by many FM transmitters? There is another way and it doesn't involve an expensive new sound system.

If you want your entire iPod music collection as you're crawling around in peak hour traffic, there are many ways to skin this proverbial apple.

Many cars sold in the last few years have built-in 3.5mm auxiliary jacks for clear, static-free iPod connectivity. A lucky few will even find a USB port or two in their rides. Should you find yourself in this crowd, you can look away now.

Converter cable makes PSPgo fatter

We're just about ready to post our PSPgo review but we couldn't wait to share this accessory with you. This absolutely ridiculous-looking contraption is the Sony PSPgo Converter Cable Adapter, a device you'll need to buy for your PSPgo if you don't want all those PSP-1000 - 3000 accessories to become useless. That's right, almost all of the original PSP accessories will not work with the PSPgo.

Judging by the photo, we're not sure why this gadget needs to be mounted on the top and bottom of the PSPgo, and we can't imagine having a comfortable grip on the device when the screen is slid open.

Pump up the tunes with Michi Jung's chocolate-styled furniture

I'll admit, I'm not so much of a style furniture fan. Call me a pleb, but I prefer cheap, down-to-earth décor from Ikea. However, these pieces look so delectable, I honestly wouldn't mind putting one in my room.


Created by a Korean designer based in Italy, Michi Jung, the concept of these sedate-looking speakers is about bridging the gap between music and the "Italian style and quality of life".

Sony PSPgo: Very early impressions

We were lucky enough to actually sample the latest PSPgo at the "Get Slim and Go" event held in Singapore yesterday.

Size matters

Sony's newest portable console is noticeably smaller than the older units. However, the PSPgo is just as thick as the PSP-3000 that will be remaining on the market. The former is also noticeably lighter at 158g compared with the PSP-3000's 190g.

The feel of the unit is very familiar to the DualShock controller that Sony has used from the very first PlayStation. The D-pad and left analog joystick placement sit right where your left thumb would be.

Unlike the PlayStation controller, it doesn't have the right analog stick. That area is filled with the Start and Select buttons. However, due to the differences in depth, the PSPgo feels a little harder to hold on to, but otherwise offers a very familiar layout.

Vuzix Wrap 310 video eyewear disguised as sunglasses

Finally, here's a video visor that doesn't look like Geordi La Forge's occular wraparounds in Star Trek: The Next Generation. I like the TV franchise, but I certainly don't fancy looking like a dork. The recently announced Vuzix Wrap 310 attempts to put some chic back into the video eyewear category, which makes you wonder why no one thought to fashion their video visors as sunglasses at the very start. Doh!

For starters, there's a choice of lens colors for the fashionable crowd. Better yet, these can slip over prescription glasses just as well. Vuzix claims a revolutionary "see-thru" Quantum optics technology that doesn't block out the world around you, which is great since you don't want to stumble around half blind.
