Microsoft has cut the price of its Zune HD portable media player, although it is not clear whether this is permanent price drop or just part of a promotion.
Microsoft has said that price drop may be temporary. The 16GB Zune HD is now available for $200 from the Microsoft store, whilst the 32GB model is now available for $270.
We are almost at the end of another week here at Geeky Gadgets, this week we have seen lots of cool new gadgets and geeky gear, so it is time for our round up of the most popular posts.
My personal favourites this week were the Iron Man MacBook Decal and the Prepeat inkless printer.
We are almost at the end of another week here at Geeky Gadgets, it certainly has been an interesting week with the launch of lots of cool new gadgets and geeky gear, like the Olympus PEN E-PL1, and the awesome Color Iron Man MacBook Decal.
Unfortunately as usual we haven’t had time to cover everything, so here is our weekly round up of the coolest gadgets that we missed this week.
This isn’t the first clock that we have featured on Geeky Gadgets that has been made from recycled computer parts, but it is definitely one of the coolest, the Recycled Apple iBook G4 Clock.
The Recycled Apple iBook G4 Clock is made from a recycled iBook G4 case, and it even has an Apple mouse for the clock pendulum.
Here is an interesting design for a new input device, the Gesture Cube, which as you can see from the photos is a cube shaped device that could be used with a range of devices like your PC or home entertainment system.
The Life Gear personal safety device is a multi-functional device that is designed for people who are in emergencies or life-threatening situations. The most prominent feature of the Life Gear personal safety device is the flashlight, which is powered by a built-in crank.
Printer ink is pretty expensive, it would be cool to have a printer that didn’t need a new ink cartridge every five minutes, one has been developed called Prepeat, although it is quite expensive.
The Prepeat printer doesn’t use any ink or toner cartridges, instead it uses a special thermal head and plastic sheets to print and erase documents, which means you can use the same paper again and again.
Skype has announced that it is working on a new version of its iPhone application that will bring VoIP calls over 3G to the Apple iPhone.
Since the release of the latest iPhone SDK 3.2, which now allows VoIP calls over 3G, we have seen a number of companies announce that they intend to bring the feature to the iPhone and Skype is the latest one.
Amazon is obviously looking to enhance its Kindle e-book reader range with a touchscreen model, maybe in an attempt to give the Apple an iPad a run for its money, as it has just purchased touch screen start up company Touchco.
Touchco have developed interpolating force-sensitive resistance technology that can be used in transparent, flexible and pressure sensitive touch screens, which we could see in the Kindle in the not to distant future.
We have seen quite a few different green gadgets, and devices that generate power here at Geeky Gadgets, now we have the energy generating soccer ball called sOccket.
The sOccket is a soccer ball with a battery and a generator inside, when the soccer ball is kicked around energy is generated and stored in the onboard battery, the power can later be used to power a range of devices.
We have seen quite a few different iPhone and iPod themed geeky gear here at Geeky Gadgets, like the iPod Touch bedding and the fun iPhone icon pillows, now we have these cool iPhone Icon Keychains.
Each of these fun iPhone Icon Keychains measures 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches and they are made of felt and you can choose whichever iPhone icons you would like.
Kinekt Design have released the Gear Ring, which features gears that move when you spin the outer rims of the ring. The Gear Ring is made from high quality matte stainless steel.
