I downloaded BlackBerry Media Sync when it was leaked a month or so ago, and I downloaded it yesterday to make sure that I have the latest version.

Know that I am fully able to transfer music and podcasts from iTunes to my BlackBerry I fully admit that I probably never will. I guess just knowing that I could if I wanted to is enough for me.

“Sometimes when you need to drive a nail, the best thing to do is hit the damn thing with a hammer.”

I am not trying to tell you the the iPod is the best MP3 player out there, however, when you combine it with iTunes and the iTunes store, I believe there is no better option for listening to watching content while on the go. Hell, I’ve got an iPhone and barely listen to music with it just because my library is too big and it is a hassle choosing which movies I want to watch before I go on a trip when I can just take them all with me on my iPod Video.

I am not going to jog while listening to my BlackBerry. I am not going to hook my BlackBerry up to the DVD player in my car. My BlackBerry doesn’t fit any of the various speaker systems or alarm clocks around my house or office. Convergence is fine concept, but, sometimes, it is just not necessary.

Maybe a better question to ask over do you really listen to music on your BlackBerry is do you really need to?

If I’m at work and want to listen to a video on my iPod, normally you’d have to have the screen on, wasting battery. Sure I could drop the screen brightness (and I do), but I found a way to turn the screen off … [visit site to read more]

The new Finepix Z20 digital camera from Fujitsu is so cool that it’d make social network lovers drool. Why? Because the company has built a social network community — based on Ning — for Z20 owners called ZSpotNow.com. On that site, people can join the currently-running Z20 logo design contest, video-making contest, or the pro skating competition. The site sounds good, but unfortunately, the camera itself only has Bluetooth connectivity, which means you still have to manually transfer the photos / videos to your PC and upload them to ZSpotNow. If only Z20 comes with built-in WiFI capability…

Other interesting feature is a single-push button for converting the movies into smaller size (works perfectly for your blog). Nice. But again, if only Z20 comes with built-in WiFI capability…

Voyager GPS camera. It is a really smart/interesting merge of different technologies. The GPS logs your location, accelerometer senses danger, video camera lets you playback upto 10 seconds before and 20 seconds after the event, and the SD card records all of this. It costs $450.

The idea is to protect yourself from unfair insurance claims and false accusations. We’re not sure how this would help if this is on your windshield as shown. More than likely it’ll record how you rear-ended some poor old lady with your SUV. We suggest you install it on your rear window :)

Anyhow. As far as specs you’ve got a 1.3MP CMOS camera with 30IPS 1280 x 960, Mpeg4 320 x 240 (QVGA) or 640 x 480 (VGA) recording ability, G-Sensor, emergency record button, and integrated GPS.

It comes with car charger, windshield mount, 1GB SD card, and the necessary software…via

Today I will admit that in my 20 years of age, I have never been able to solve this mysterious colorful Rubik’s Cube. It was too difficult for me which on the other hand is as easy for this Tilted Twister bot. This robot is made completely out of Lego Mindstorms kit and it works by keeping the cube on its turntable. The sensors now take over as it detects the cube place, the colors and then goes for the knockout. Watch the video to see it in action and if you seem interested in building yourself, here’s the DIY guide.

The all-electric Lightning GT sports car might have just had its formal debut yesterday, but that doesn't mean prototypes haven't been tooling around for a while -- check out this video of the swoopy two-door doing the track thing in ultra-dramatic slow-mo. Of course, there's no sound, so there could totally be a nasty 5.0L Windsor V8 block under that hood, but we'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt for now. Video at the read link -- and be honest, is this thing enough to sway your feelings from the Tesla Roadster or the Fisker Karma?
