Chances are that just about any type of USB peripheral you could possibly image–and perhaps even a few that defy description (such as a USB Ferris Wheel Phone Stand?!?)–are already being made by the wacky creative brains at Brando Workshop. Some of their products are not the most practical, while others are designed to serve useful needs. Today, Brando Workshop announced two new USB-based products: The USB Illuminated Bamboo Mini Fountain and the SATA HDD Dock Station Combo Stereo Speaker + Hub.There’s not

We’re not exactly fans of the HTC Touch Diamond, and with the updated and Windows Mobile 6.5-ready Touch Diamond2 just months (or weeks?) away, we were surprised to see that Verizon Wireless may begin offering the 1st gen Diamond later this month.

This information comes from BGR, which has a knack for getting it right when it comes to smartphone release dates.  According to BGR, the Verizon Touch Diamond will be available for purchase this Friday, April 10, 2009.  It will sell for $199 after a two-year service agreement and mail-in rebates.

One interesting tidbit in the story: Verizon’s version of the Touch Diamond will forego the onboard 4GB of flash memory in favor of a microSDHC memory card slot.  While we love the idea of gigabytes of internal storage, the ability to add more storage via memory card is a feature that’s too good to lack, and since you can pick up a 16GB microSDHC card for around $40, this seems like a no-brainer.

In an effort to get its ATI FirePro 3D cards into the hands of more and more prosumers and creative professionals, AMD has today announced that said graphics accelerators will be offered up on a wide range of HP workstations. Specifically, the entire “top-to-bottom” line of FirePro GPUs can now be ordered within HP’s new Z Workstations, and if you’re not too savvy on what those may be, here’s the rundown: FirePro V7750, V3700 and V5700, all found within HP’s Z400, Z600 and Z800 Workstations.

T-Mobile is long overdue for a Windows Mobile refresh, and if you believe a new report from TmoNews, the wireless carrier will end its stagnant streak by picking up at least two new WinMo devices in July: The HTC Touch Pro 2 and the HTC S522.

According to information provided to TmoNews by a “trusted tipster,” T-Mobile will release the HTC S522 on July 1st, with the Touch Pro2 following on July 22nd.  The article states that the Touch Pro2 will be marketed as the Wing II, which makes sense since the original Wing has been available for years and is in desperate need of a refresh.  While the TmoNews article doesn’t give us any naming hints for the HTC S522 Snap, we have heard that it may be marketed as the Dash II and replace the aging non-touchscreen T-Mobile Dash.

This is all speculation at this point, and the details may change a little or a lot by the time we get to July.  We’ll keep you posted of any changes, of course.

If you thought the iPhone rumors would die down awhile after hearing that the next version may wind up with 802.11n support, you thought wrong. A new report from Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes has fueled the raging fire further, asserting that Apple looks to be shoring up iPhone 3Gs to sell off before the introducing of something new in June.For those somewhat out of the loop, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is slated to take place in early June, and it was this very event last year which saw the

For a long time geek like me, who got his start in computing by spending countless hours in front of a Commodore 64, Ben Heck’s latest mod is about as cool as it gets. Using the original parts from a working C64, Ben crafted a fully functional laptop, complete with a custom enclosure and 15″ LCD screen.”This project somehow has the distinction of being both the longest and fastest portable electronics project I have ever done. I originally started making a C64 laptop in the fall of 2006, and kept pecking away
