Gizmodo Japan: KDDI AI-MATE

Gizmodo Japan: KDDI AI-MATE 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

Jean Snow—One of the featured devices in the KDDI Designing Studio's prototype area (the 3rd floor's Creation Studio) is the AI-MATE. They're calling it a hybrid communicator, something that integrates a mobile phone with PDA features in a PDA-like form factor -- it's about the size of a typical Palm Pilot. Although it will be making an appearance at the upcoming Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan, this is probably the first chance you'll get to play around with one them. Oh, and getting the demonstration girls to help you figure out how to use them is a definite bonus.

More pictures after the jump, including a snap of the elusive Japanese shadow elf.

GIzmodo Japan: AU by KDDI Sweets

GIzmodo Japan: AU by KDDI Sweets 03/29/2005 01:56 PM

I've gone on and on about the great work that KDDI's AU is doing in the design department (see the AU Design Project), but you know, they've also become quite good at going after certain key demographics, and it's not hard to see what they're trying to do with their new Sweets line, featuring their patented "friendly design." Going head-to-head with Docomo's Lechiffon, the Sweets phones come in 3 appropriately named colors: Cassis Mousse (pink), Vanilla Beans (white), and Mango Pudding (orange). You can also adorn them with an assortment of case coverings. Kawaii!!!

Gizmodo Japan: Asahi DVD Beer Fridge

Gizmodo Japan: Asahi DVD Beer Fridge 04/12/2005 11:31 AM

Jean Snow—The ultimate in bachelor pad accessories: it's a TV, it plays DVDs, and it's a beer fridge, all-in-one! You gotta love the higher-ups at Asahi Beer for coming up with this concept. Only thing is, you can't buy it -- it's only available as a prize in Asahi's latest sales campaign (the ad appeared in today's issue of Tokyo Walker magazine). But just the thought of having one of these at home... It doesn't really get better than this, does it?

Our apologies. In reprinted editions of Gizmodo the headline will now read, "Bluetake Headset Drenches Face With Dripping Bluetooth Radio."

Gizmodo Buzz Index: Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD

Gizmodo Buzz Index: Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD 09/23/2004 09:01 AM

Gizmodo Buzz Index: The most accurate graphs since cavemen first scratched pie charts into the walls of French caves. The upcoming high-definition format war is heating up, with Sony and company backing the Blu-Ray format (Sony confirmed yesterday - to no one's surprise - that the Playstation 3 would in fact use Blu-Ray discs), while NEC and Toshiba (and Microsoft?) is pushing the competeting HD-DVD standard. There's not a clear winner yet - the standards are just dipping a toe in the market at the moment - but for now, it looks like Blu-Ray is winning the GBI by a large margin. HD-DVD really needs a major product backing it now. How about Xbox 2?

Update: Reader Damian Roskill makes a good point that both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are planning to use Microsoft's hi-def codec, so Big M is (rightly) hedging its bets at the moments. In a way, that makes the format choice of the Xbox 2 even more interesting.

Gizmodo Year in Review: April

Gizmodo Year in Review: April 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

In April, Sony announced its intentions to produce a hard disk-based music player. At the time, we didn't know it would be awful.

I also got sort of upset when Gametrac changed the name of their still-unreleased handheld gaming system to Gizmondo. I also maybe implied they helped child molesters find children to touch.

It was a month of personal development for me, as I learned that perpetual motion is actually impossible, even for the Chinese.

Gizmodo Year in Review: June

Gizmodo Year in Review: June 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

June brought the first cellphone worm for Nokia Series 60 phones, a minor threat but a story that will likely be huge in 2005, as more malicious variants appear. We also learned about the $6,700 power cord, and I had to prevent myself from commiting suicide at the news.

Sony mentions plans for a PSP/Phone hybrid, although nothing comes of it (yet). Comdex dies. Girls pee while standing. Sidekick II appears (then breaks my heart).

We get the world's first information about the iPod Your BMW system, making us an actual news site for almost 24 hours. The phone known as the Treo Ace appears, later released as the Treo 650.

Gizmodo on automated circumcision device

Gizmodo on automated circumcision device 07/08/2004 05:32 AM
Gizmodo has posted a screamingly funny review/commentary of a new automated circumcision device:

I'm a penis slicer luddite, I know, but no, for real, no. So why do the people that make SmartKlamp think that -- when I wouldn't let a robot, which can maneuver with mathematical precision, touch me -- I would use a Bris-O-Matic on my or my progeny's spurters? Is there a market need here? Are scapel-wielding doctors and rabbis not fast enough to get the job done? Is there a worldwide circumcision shortage?

Gizmodo Year in Review: March

Gizmodo Year in Review: March 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

What a year it's been in gadgetry! Just 12 short months ago, I was blissfully sleeping in, rising only to attend state-mandated skill focus classes. Yet your unwavering appetite for plastic-clad consumer gear pressed me into service, like a fireman who ignores his high score in Bubble Bobble to rescue a burning baby, or the food engineer who developed Wendy's Wild Mountain Spicy Chicken sandwich to address America's flavor cravings. As we prepare ourselves for next week's electronics orgy of CES, let us take a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of our shiny love affair together, month by month, as we pull out notable and favorite posts from the last 3,500 some-odd articles from this year's Gizmodo.

Gizmodo Year in Review: December 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

And finally, in December, nothing happens at all. We pretty much just shot up and waited for the looming hammer of Christmas to fall.

It was a great year for gear, though, and it was a lot of fun talking about it with you all. We've got high hopes for next year, and I can't wait to show you what we've got cooking. A special thanks to all of our tipsters, whose emails made Gizmodo much more interesting than it would have been otherwise.

Have a great New Year's Eve!

Gizmodo Year in Review: October

Gizmodo Year in Review: October 12/31/2004 04:40 PM

October has the SeaGrand RaveMetal, an flash-based MP3 player that's built like a cassette tape. I still think that's brilliant, if not very useful. We also got our first inkling of a flash-based iPod, although it obviously won't be out before Christmas.

Proving that there is a god, but that he is a heartless necromancer, someone invents a process to make clothing from lab-grown human flesh just weeks before Halloween.

Gizmodo and HP iPod Trivia Contest

Gizmodo and HP iPod Trivia Contest 09/21/2004 10:38 AM

Hey, who wants a free iPod, without having to convince your friends to sign up in a pyramid scheme? Well, Hewlett Packard - you may know them as HP - has thrown out a free 20GB HP iPod to Gizmodo readers, and rather than trying to convince you all to share it nicely, we've decided to give it to just one of you. But as is becoming usual for Gizmodo contests, we're going to make you work for it.

It seems like every time I call my cell phone company I have to spend an hour on the phone just to make simple changes, which half the time end up getting screwed up in the process. Is there anything I can do to up my chances of getting what I want?

Basically, you're screwed. It's best to start any interaction with your carrier's customer service department keeping this simple mantra in mind: I am worth nothing to my carrier, and I'm lucky they'll have me.
