Here's snippet of news from Austria on man's continual quest to find the best way to wake up.
The aXbo SPAC alarm clock now mixes Apple shininess with a facia of cracked sand or black or white leather. Probably more important is the new Travel Edition (compact size, stylish travel bag, worldwide adaptor plus PowerNap function which allows you to refuel energy levels during the day – particularly helpful when a meeting takes place immediately after a long flight on a business trip.)
The aXbo Travel Edition will be available from March 2009.

Then there's is the Kids Edition.
See below for the full scoop.

On April 5th, 2009, Nintendo is set to launch its latest handheld gaming platform, the Nintendo DSi. What’s so special about this new system?

With a price tag of $169.99, the DSi sports a myriad of new features that neither the PSP nor the DS Lite host. The first eye-catching feature is its set of dual 0.3 megapixel cameras, one on the inside facing the player and one on the outside set to capture the rest of the world. From there, additions include a slightly larger screen than the DS Lite and a much-welcomed SD card slot. That’s the end of the physical changes between the DS Lite and the DSi, but don’t be deceived; the most significant changes are on the inside.

And...

Last year we reviewed a challenging book, called The Nephilim Imperatives and particularly since that book I started to read widely on the UFO phenomena, transgenics and the rather disturbing history that is about to be repeated again.
Anomalos Publishing just sent me a pile of books and Audio CDs on this genre over 5 inches high!
Some of the exciting titles: The Ahriman Gate, The Omega Conspiracy, PSYCHOTRONIC WARFARE and CONSPIRACY THEORY.
Also part of this pack are the books Alien Intrusion and The Gospel According to Science Fiction.

I’ve bitten off the first half an inch in reading Tom Horn’s Nephilim STARGATES – The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers.
Tom is arguably the best-known author on this very topical subject and his latest tome strongly suggests the world is about to enter into unheard-of upheavals soon.

When Adapt requested that we have a look at their latest USB cradle for the HTC Touch Pro we initially declined because none of our tests platforms was a Touch Pro.  When they insisted on sending us one anyway we figured it might also work with the Diamond Touch.  They shared the same USB charge port and indeed, when the unit arrived it played very nice with the Touch Diamond and adds some good functionality to this very capable smartphone. 

So... what else ist it good for?

Without a doubt, the Zivio Boom headset is one of the best looking bluetooth headsets available in the market.  It garnered a lot of attention and envious looks when the unit arrived, from designers to geeks alike.  DigitalReviews got to take this sexy piece of hardware out for a test drive, courtesy of our good friends at Joby.

Don't you just love those fingerprint magnets? Gadgets that come with glossy piano-black  exteriors and get smudged every time you even look at them...
Take my HTC Touch Diamond. The name even implies it wants to be touched, yet my DNA evidence is all over that magnificent screen!
Our friends at Tegatech, purveyors of all gadget-goodness that have screens on them, faced the same problem -- until they came across a product that is simply called Clean Screen and so they bought the company.
That's probably not true but they were so enamoured with the results that they wanted us to try it too...
Here's what happened.

It was with great anticipation that the Rebit finally landed on my desk.
First question you might ask: what is a Rebit?  It has nothing to do with a rabbit of course -- the company logo features a frog so that might give a clue.  It's not that croaking sound you might hear from the unit when it is doing its job but maybe it is related to the fact that this unit shines when your computer has croaked it...  Anyway, let's hop to it and tell you what this is all about!

A Rebit allows you to back up your system without going through the hassles of backing up.  Clear?
Didn't think so.  What would you think of the claim that a Rebit totally eliminates backing up?  And still protects your system in a continuous, transparent and complete way -- fully automatic?
Hard to believe, so let's check it out.

Iomega, probably best known for the ZIP drive years back, has a new life and new products in their network solutions portfolio.  The StorCenter Pro ix4-100 is based on enterprise-class EMC storage technologies, and boasts a setup sequence of just four mouse clicks to provide small businesses and remote offices with up to 4 Tb of networked storage that can easily integrates with existing infrastructure for expanded storage, file-sharing and backup of critical business data.

Did somebody mention 3D gaming monitor? 

 From time to time, a product is brought onto the market to rock the boat on conventional approaches.  In this case it is the second generation iZ3D gaming monitor in 22" glory.  Thanks to iZ3D for leaving their monitor in my care for this review, let's see how it performs.

The Orbita mouse.

A mouse that lets you scroll through pages of information, or whatever else it is you need to do with an ordinary scroll wheel, without the hassle of moving your index finger (and instead moving your entire hand..)
