We’re depressing this is foregather a concept. This creation should be prefabricated correct now. And anyone that wants to beam the smokers in their chronicle a diminutive communication should acquire them and remuneration them as presents. Or the rattling misanthropical carriage crapper acquire them himself. Either way, we’re totally range a activity for these.

The methodicalness is from R.J. painter Ukraine. Yeah, we wondered most that conceive likewise and whether it was some category of pun. But unless it’s every an impact joke, it seems to be the impact of digit Richard book Reynolds. We’re effort creative here and perception the stylemark advise lawyers in the Negro already if this ever takes off…

Rogers-branded BlackBerry Magnum shows up

We’ve been hearing about this BlackBerry Magnum since April, but it’s only now that a proper image with it has appeared on the web.

It’s said that the Magnum will be RIM’s first smartphone to have both a hardware QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen display (480 x 320 pixels). It should also feature 3G, and probably many other advanced capabilities.

Unfortunately, the person who took the picture of BlackBerry Magnum wanted to make a joke and literally put a Trojan Magnum condom over the smartphone’s display. So, yeah, we can’t actually see its display:

BlackBerry Magnum Rogers

What we can see, though, is Rogers Wireless’ logo on the Magnum, which means that the largest Canadian carrier will soon release it, probably at about the same time with AT&T, which will obviously launch it in the US.

For the moment, we don’t know when exactly RIM wants to officially announce the BlackBerry Magnum, but let’s hope that it will happen this summer.

Beat The European Bulb Ban With Light Bulb Condoms

bulb-condom_01

By Chris Scott Barr

Being from the US myself, I don’t always pay the most attention to what’s going on in the rest of the world. Apparently over in Europe frosted incandescent bulbs are going to be banned as of September of this year. This means that if you’re still wanting to buy the cheap incandescent bulbs, you have to see that blinding light given off from the filament. The point of the ban is that people would rather switch to more energy efficient lighting than get stuck with the brighter bulb.

For all of you crazy rebels that don’t feel like buying those fancy new bulbs, there is a solution. Light bulb condoms. That’s right, the same things that prevent babies can solve your lighting problems. I really wish this were some sort of joke, but this is exactly what Europeans are facing if they want lights that are actually bright when they first turn them on (but aren’t blindingly so). So far this looks like a concept, so after September you’re going to be out of luck.

GM and Segway’s P.U.M.A. unveiled and no, this isn’t a joke

GM and Segway’s joint venture is probably best described as a rickshaw without all the charm. The self-balancing Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (P.U.M.A.) can reach top speeds of 35 MPH, has a lithium battery that lasts up to 35 miles with a single charge, and features vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for potentially reducing the number of accidents. No word on when or if this’ll actually go into production but it’s expected to be priced at just 25% that of a regular automobile. Hit up the read link for more pics, including a concept model that’s just a teensy bit more reasonable. We’ll be at the launch event tomorrow to see it for ourselves and make sure it’s not all some bizarre dream.

You Asked For It: ThinkGeek To Try To Produce Tauntaun Sleeping Bag

tauntaun1

By Evan Ackerman

When we posted about the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag on April 1, a couple of you mentioned that April Fool’s joke product or not, you’d really, really like one. Turns out you aren’t alone, and ThinkGeek is taking notice:

ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we’ll try!

There’s certainly some precedent for this; last year, after pranking everyone with a personal sound track shirt on April 1, ThinkGeek ended up producing them. You can sign up here to be notified if the Tauntaun sleeping bag ever comes to pass, but you’ll better believe you’ll see it right here if it happens.

President Obama offers iPod to the Queen of England

No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. President Obama met today at Buckingham Palace with the Queen, and our forward thinking commander-in-chief brought along a little tech for gifting purposes. Obama presented Elizabeth II with an iPod containing video from her 2007 visit to the States. In return, the first family received what is apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries to the Palace — a silver-framed photo of the Queen and her husband. At a glance, it seems like Obama has a thing for gadgets (and related media); he recently handed off a set of DVDs featuring classic American films to Prime Minister Gordon Brown… who was unable to play them due to incorrect region encoding. Regardless, the Queen appears pleased with the music player, telling the President during their 25 minute tea that she “Finally has something to listen to [her] Pantera records on.”

High-powered, jet-mounted laser one step closer to flying the terrifying skies

The jet-mounted laser anti-missile system, brainchild of Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the US Air Force, has been an ongoing project for quite some time. Well, it’s progressed into a final test phase, as evidenced by a new video, which shows the plane strapped with a pilot-controlled laser which is able to intercept missiles significantly earlier than other existing anti-missile tech. The project has plans to continue testing throughout this year, but will also need to be approved by the Obama administration if it is to come to fruition. Feel free to insert obligatory Dr. Evil joke in comments. Check out the video after the break, but fair warning: it autoplays.

TI’s OMAP 3 hardware doesn’t manage to do Windows Mobile 6.5 any favors

We were really impressed with Texas Instruments’ OMAP 3-based mobile development platform when we saw it running Android earlier today, and the hardware seems to hold up well to all sorts of video-accelerated magic for a multitude of Linux-based interfaces. Not so much with Windows Mobile 6.5. Granted, this is a very early build of the OS according to Microsoft, and is lacking all sorts optimization mojo that will go into the final product due end-of-year-ish, but at the same time this is basically an interface skin to Windows Mobile 6 that Microsoft has had nearly a year to work on since 6.1, and it’s not exaggerating to say that performance is a complete joke at the moment. TI’s OMAP 3 was clearly struggling to handle basic scrolling of the home screen and app menu, though “smoothness” was slightly improved in scrolling through a gallery of photos. TI has been working with 6.5 for “a few months,” and claims to have added optimizations to interface performance — and interestingly is running this on a capacitive touchscreen device, something that isn’t officially supported as far as we’re aware. They’re also saying that they plan on achieving full smoothness by the time this launches, but there’s really a long way to go, and it’s difficult to understand why this seems to be a last priority for Microsoft at the moment. On the other hand, TI is doing great things with its own 3D-accelerated interface, something which Windows Mobile 6.5 brings support for, so perhaps these will all one day (soon) meet in the middle and give us the sort of interface smoothness and usability we’d expect on a phone built a decade into this century. Check out the painful videos after the break.

Nokia’s 5630 XpressMusic hits the FCC

Been hankering for a low-end Nokia XpressMusic device in a familiar and unthreatening form factor? Then you might want to check in with the 5630, a candybar the company just shuttled off to the FCC for review (and dissection, if these pictures are any indication). In case you forgot, the device will sport a 3.2 megapixel camera with built-in flash, GPS, S60 3rd Edition (a personal fave of Engadget Mobile), and the “active toolbar” which we’ve seen more recently on the Tube… er, 5800 XpressMusic. The phone also supports N-gage games, and though we’ve been led to understand the device rocks an HSDPA / HSUPA radio, the manual up on the FCC’s site only mentions GPRS and EDGE connectivity. For now we’ll just assume that some kind of crazy joke (or typical US neutering of Nokia handsets). Check a pic of the gutted device after the break, and hit the read link for the full Commission rundown.
