OpenMoko NEO 1973: iPhone Killer?



After seemingly endless delays, the OpenMoko phone is already available for purchase from OpenMoko.com. This is the first version of the NEO 1973 mobile phone, which carries the Linux kernel inside and is not locked to a specific network. It's not as jaw-droppingly pretty as the iPhone, but it shares a design philosophy -- no buttons, just a screen -- and it's ready to be loaded with any number of open-source software applications. The base version of the NEO sells for $300. It has a 2.8" VGA touch screen, a micro SD card slot, a USB port and 2.5G GSM quad band capability.

Super Mario Brothers' Gadgets

Just when you thought you saw everything Mario known to mankind...I happened to cross along these Mario products sold in ThinkGeek . 1. Super Mario Solar Mushroom Normally mushrooms grow in the dark but this special golden mushroom is an unusual species that seems to love the sun. Place it on your desk or windowsill, apply a slight bit of sun or other light, and it begins to bop back and forth. Watch it long enough and you're sure to start seeing some Yoshies right at the edge of your vision where they're kind of hard to spot. 2. Plush Mario Sound Bops With these Plush Mario Sound Bops peppering the course when we squint our eyes we can almost envision being in a real video game. Hit the plush Brick Block on the bottom and you get a coin sound from the game. Jump on the plush Goomba (or simply bop him on the head) and he makes the defeated Goomba sound... unless you bop him one too many and you get the "game over" noise. 3. New Super Mario Sound Drops Super Mario Sou...
