Now Sirius Release New Radio - Stiletto 2

Posted on August 15, 2007 at 11:24 am (PST)

Okay, I’m going to go ahead and make the assumption that I’m behind the times, and that both XM and Sirius are designing radios that will work with both systems. Or, that when the merger’s complete, there will be only one system. Because they both continue to release new, competing radios. This one, the Stiletto [...]

Posted on August 14, 2007 at 11:55 am (PST)

Samsung’s been making some nice things lately, but what’s with the naming? The Yepp (Yepp?!?) YP-P2 is a lovely critter, and quite svelte: only 100 X 52 X 9.2mm. That’s thinner than a runway model… (I’ll leave it at that). Specs:

Up to 8GB Flash storage

Lenart Studio Pimps the Surfboard Right

Posted on July 23, 2007 at 12:26 pm (PST)

It’s embarrassing enough that I live within 5 minutes of Malibu (one surfing spot in Southern California, for those who don’t live around these parts) and don’t surf. If I did, I certainly wouldn’t be able to afford Lenart Studios’ GPS,  LCD, and two-way radio-equipped uber-surfboard. I mean, the thing can alert emergency services if [...]
