    Colorware has been customizing gadgets nearly as long as the iPod has been available. But do you trust them with your precious and mythical iPad? Are you willing to give up the iPad for three whole weeks after waiting three whole years to own it? Do you have $400 -- yes, $400?

    Reader Nate writes, So here’s my problem. The kit lens for my Nikon D40 is busted –something’s rattling around inside — and I don’t know what to do. My options are either buy a new lens for about $200 or spend $600 on either a Nikon D5000 or the Olympus E-PL1. On one hand, I would like [...]

    Well done, AP. Thanks for giving us the very first look at what TiVo has in store for us later tonight. Too bad you had to go plaster your watermark all over it. But from what we can gather, it seems like the interface got an HD makeover while maintain the classic TiVo look and [...]

It’s listed as out of stock. The only option available is the 1TB $499 TiVo HD XL. Does this hint [...]

    Newegg and Amazon cuts the Zune HD price by $30-$40

    Posted on February 2, 2010 | No Comments
    The Zune HD is a tempting piece of PMP goodness and it just got a whole lot more tasty with a modest price drop. Both Amazon and Newegg have at least temporarily dropped the price of our favorite media player. So far we haven't heard anything from Redmond about official cuts, but something is definitely up when these two retailers both cut prices.

    Me hanging with Nate Lanxon and Randall B on TechVi… in 3D!

    Just had a nice little interview with Randall of TechVi and Nate of CNET about 3D TV. My dream 3D kit? Something like the Death Star simulation on board the Rebel ship in Star Wars. My nightmare kit? Watching someone play a 3D video game when there’s only one pair of glasses in the house.

  • Nike+iPod gets repurposed as wireless key fob

    Nike+iPod gets repurposed as wireless key fob

    Posted on May 27, 2009 | No Comments

    Got a Nike+iPod kit laying around but not doing much exercising with it? Then you might want to follow the lead of SparkFun's Nate, who took the device and turned it into a decidedly non-exercise minded wireless key fob -- or iFob, as Nate has dubbed it. That, as you might expect, isn't exactly a completely straightforward process, and also involves putting an Arduino Pro Mini into the mix, not to mention a bit of minor surgery to both your car and your car's original key fob. If that doesn't scare you off, however, you can find the complete instructions and plenty of helpful pics at the link below, although you're on your own if you want to build something that actually starts your car.

    This Sparkfun project by Nate creates a keyless entry fob for a Mazda using a Nike+iPod kit, allowing you to leave your car keys at home. Using a serial board you can read the input and output bits of the footpod and grab signals and decode them.
