Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse

Microsoft is again showing its gaming peripherals the light of the day; SideWinder - the gaming brand from Microsoft lives again. They have a mouse which has a 2,000 DPI, a wired critter, and sports a Quick Turn feature which lets users check their perimeter at any angle. It has a weight cartridge system with a variety of feet to get the best gaming comfort.


It also has a cable management system to boot, and on-the-fly DPI adjustment with an LCD to display the current DPI set. Microsoft claims that this is the first gaming mouse to arrive with an LCD built right in, which allows users to "easily keep track of key gaming actions, including their DPI and steps for recording macros." The mouse will be released in October with a price tag of $79.95 .

iBling iPod Shuffle

If you like your stuff to bling, then here's something to add to your collection. Fill it up with those hip-hop tracks and flash the sparkling iPod Shuffle from your ride. Beware, for you may blind the pedestrians because this Shuffle has a mix of gold and diamonds for a finish. Even the bundled earphones have a similar coating of the stone and metal.


Yes, the price tag is a negligible amount to satiate your fetish for bling, throw away twenty grand to pick this one $20,000 glistening shuffle thing.

Samsung YP P2

Samsung has added a few more MP3 players to its YEPP line up. The one that caught our eye was the YP-P2. It's a flash based multimedia player, is slim, has a neat gloss finish, and a beautiful looking interface.


The player is another iPhone look-alike with touchscreen. Other features include Bluetooth, and video playback that should be fun considering its large screen. No word on pricing or availability.

Sony Ericsson K770i

The K770i is a CyberShot camera phone. It has a 3.2 MP module and includes the Photo fix function.


The specialty of the K770i is that it's the first of the really slim CyberShot range of phones from Sony Ericsson.

It is expected to launch in the Europe in the next couple of months; expect it to hit the Indian markets next year. The price of this product is not known yet.

Meizu M8

The Meizu M8 looks uncannily similar to the iPhone. There is a good chance that Apple will take this issue up in the law courts. The M8 hand-held still has no specifications leaked out, but I guess being a look-alike of the most hyped phone will be a vital characteristic all by itself. The final product will be given the name miniOne.


From the pictures of the M8, it looks like it's going to run Windows with the whole Vista look. There will be two versions of the phone - a 4 GB and an 8GB. The estimated price for the 4 GB and 8 GB is around $314 (Rs. 13,600) and $380 (Rs. 15,000), respectively. No release date has been confirmed, but it should hit stores by end of this year.

Brighton Kitty Cat Speakers

Kitty cat fans, rejoice! Brighton's BI-SPCAT/WH 2.1 system resembles a cat, and consists of two pointy-eared NXT flat panel speakers and a feline-ish sub-woofer with a 35-watt amplifier built right in. Additionally, this cat includes five preset equalizer settings, a paw-print remote control, and a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary input.


Available in Japan for $166 (Rs. 6640 approx), I really hope they are worth it.

Sony Panoramic Camera

Wana take panoramic shots of places you visit but don't have the means? In some time you may be able to do it with just a top. All you would have to do is, set this panoramic camera down on a flat surface and it will spin around like a top to take a 360" image.


It will record to a memory card, and can take video, too. Devices like this are fairly limited, but if you regularly find yourself in deserts, up on mountain peaks or in the middle of salt flats, then you could probably justify the cost, whatever it might be as it's still in the conceptual phases of development.
