Bang & Olufsen are meliorate famous for their impossibly pricey and allegedly crack speakers. Who knew then that they’d live in something so unremarkable as communication clocks.

It’s not what you’re thinking, it’s more aforementioned the iPhone’s, to correct orientate the LCD display.

Of course, we asked ourselves foregather ground it looks aforementioned this… And trusty adequacy B&O’s place had a accessible answer:

GlobalSat GD-101 Is Another Glorified Compass

GlobalSat GD-101 (Image courtesy GlobalSat)
By Andrew Liszewski

At some point along the way the development of GPS devices split into two distinct paths. On one side you’ve got complicated touchscreen devices with maps of every road on the continent that can plan out the easiest route from point A to point B, and on the other side they’ve actually been simplified to what are essentially glorified compasses, like the GD-101 from GlobalSat.

It forgoes the colorful touchscreen for a simple monochrome LCD display that features a digital arrow capable of pointing in one of 16 different directions. The idea is to set a destination you’d like to remember, like where you parked your car, and the GD-101 will easily guide you back, complete with detailed info on how far away you are. And it’s not that I think these types of devices are a bad idea or anything, I just think they could benefit from a price tag of around $30-40, instead of the roughly $80 they’re currently selling for online.

FC Mobile II Portable NES Adds Bundled Accessories

FC Mobile II (Image courtesy Technabob)
By Andrew Liszewski

Given they’re smaller than the NES cartridges they’re designed to play, the recent onslaught of portable gaming devices that will accommodate an actual NES cart just look plain ridiculous. But the FC Mobile II might be taking things too far since it also comes with a set of wireless controllers and a convincing clone of the original Nintendo light gun. Now I’m pretty sure those accessories are only designed to be used while the FC Mobile II is connected to an external monitor, but bonus points will be awarded if those controllers can be used while staring at that tiny LCD display.

The FC Mobile II is expected to ship sometime in May with a price tag of just $60, but keep in mind you’ll need to have a collection of NES carts lying around, otherwise this thing is useless.
