The DSi is already available in Japan and will be available in the U.S. April 5th for $170.

It will not be available in white, or it would seem at launch anyway, but in black and blue. So if you arent a fan of that blue color, pre-order!

Here is a lightsaber that actually works, as an umbrella, of course not as an actual lightsaber.

Have you been looking for a great excuse to carry a fake lightsaber with you everywhere you go? For around forty dollars you can be dry and alone under one of these fantastic umbrellas.

You should probably get one from here.

Scientists at the university of Tokyo have developed a new paint that is designed to block higher frequency elctromagnetic waves, like those found in WiFi. This isnt exactly new technology, we have been blocking cell phones for a while, but the ability to block the higher frequency waves from free loaders who might want to use your wireless connection.

This stuff should run around $50 a gallon, but can you really put a price on privacy.

Eh. Kind of.

Toxel has post of transparent products and prototype gadgets from across the globe some aren’t so awesome, some are. There is everything from canoes to iPod cases to toasters and irons.
It is really cool to see through some of the items.

Well not really.

What you see here is an “EEG” based toy to convince either you or your offspring that the force is with you(or them). This is one of the first mass market toys to use brain to computer control. A simplified version of EEG read by the users headband will help you to raise a ping-pong ball up the tower, which rises 10 inches from the base. The technology was created by NeuroSky and should be implemented in more games before the end of the year.

Star Wars sound effects and audio clips emitted from the base unit “cue you in to progress to the next level (from Padawan to Jedi) or when to move the sphere up or down to keep challenging yourself,” Adler says.

It looks like you will be able to get your heads on this thing from Uncle Milton for about $100 this fall. Untill then may the simplified force be with you.

Palm has debuted it’s new device today during a keynote at CES. The Palm Pre. A multi touch display phone with a 3.1 inch 320×480 resolution, EV-DO, 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, A2DP and 8 gigs of on-board flash storage. The interesting thing about the face is that the touch sensitivity runs the all the way down and around the lone silver center button occupying the front. The lower touch area is there for gestures. While a full albeit tight qwerty keyboard slides from behind the touchy display. The Phone has Texas Instruments new OMAP CPU powering their all new webOS device platform. The webOS according to Palm supplies laptop power and speed, for some fancy smooth transitions and app switching a-la a deck of cards. The phone houses a 3MP camera with LED flash, microUSB and the usual 3.5mm audio jack. Here is what to write home about: wireless charging. You read it, wireless. Place the phone on it’s charging base “the touchstone” and charge away.

Sprint will offer the phone exclusively in the first half of ‘09. Cost: no mention as of yet.

News of this device was enough to wake Palm’s stock from it’s comatose state and rise 35% today. I would say they have generated some excitement and enthusiasm.

Look for something to drive your new Samsung monitor or 120Hz 3D HDTV? Enter NVIDIA’s GeForce 3D Vision package, loaded up with powered 3D glasses (no red / blue silliness here, charged via USB) and an IR emitter to keep everything synced between the display and your glasses. Left 4 Dead, WoW: WotLK and several other games are already compatible with more expected to come soon. CES had a quick demo and didn’t notice any of the headaches sometimes associated with stereocopic 3D, but at $399 for the display and $199 for this set when it’s available in the next few days, we’re not sure how close we want to get to those zombies, but WoW fans may see things differently.
