That’s Fujitsu’s WoodShell concept PC. It joins an increasingly common trend of so called “natural” products already demonstrated by MSI, ASUS, Olympus, LG and others. No specs are provided on this feel-good piece. However, we presume it’s powered by the blood and tears wrung from the baby Gore’s heartbreak.

Be still, our hearts! Judging by a post (penned in Russian) over at the studio’s Livejournal, we could be seeing a number of Art Lebedev retail outlets popping up over the next year and change. From what we can glean, B&M locations could surface in a plethora of Russian cities (Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, etc.) along with one in New York. Granted, we get the impression that the “stores” may resemble holes-in-the-wall within other establishments (rather than dedicated structures), but we ’spose only time will tell. Camp out for the next edition of the Optimus Maximus? Why, of course.

Stuff.tv is kicking back in Nike’s HQ at the moment and claims to have official word about Nike’s future plans with Apple. They say that the Nike+ system will be “definitely” extend beyond the iPod nano to support the relatively bulky iPhone and iPod touch. Interestingly, it will move beyond the proprietary RF link between the shoe module and nano adapter to take advantage of WiFi and eventually 3G. This of course leads to all kinds of speculation with regard to Apple’s “lifestyle companion” patent we showed you last month. 3G support would presumably allow for real-time coaching and uploads of your training activity (and tracking) through the Nike Plus website. So let’s see… cellphone (check), iPod (check), Internet device (check), handheld gaming (almost), and now a Nike lifestyle companion (could be).

Whether you call it the HDR-TG3E (as it’s known in Europe) or the HDR-TG1 (as it’s been dubbed everywhere else), it’s still the world’s smallest 1080i camcorder. Tracy and Matt got their hands on an early unit for all your unboxing and first-impression pleasures. They’re already “very impressed” with the “fabulous” image quality when viewed on their 50-inch plasma. Don’t let the Queen’s English and SCART adapter fool you, this is pretty much exactly what you can expect to land Stateside next month. Click through for the moving pictures then hit up that read link for a more detailed analysis — looks like Sony’s got themselves a winner.

Until now the ability of various heroes (such as Spiderman and etc.) to climb walls was considered to be unreal and fictitious. Yet a device that can climb walls without any artificial adhesion has been recently invented.

See, now we’re torn. Do we spend our imaginary rainbow dollars on that Real Crystal LED Watch concept we saw the other day, or do we pretend like we could ever scrap together enough pennies to afford this very really De Grisogono Meccanico DG timepiece? The watch is apparently the first all-mechanical digital watch — no LED trickery here — and is sure to cost a fortune. Only 177 of ‘em are being built.

When you call your product a Mobile Multimedia Solution it had better offer up a pretty robust set of connectivity options; especially when it costs $1,100. In that manner, Alpine’s new WXGA touch-screen IVA-W505 doesn’t disappoint. The 7-inch DVD/CD/MP3/AAC/WMA/DivX AV head unit offers Bluetooth hands-free connectivity and touch control over all your in-car digital media sources. The list includes HD/Sat radio (with iTunes tagging) and MP3/WMA players like iPods and USB sticks. The double-DIN unit is IMPRINT, acoustic-correction ready and serves as a dock for Alpine’s PMD-B200 portable GPS unit. Sweet. Available now through authorized dealers in North America.

The Arm Revolution founded in London by Anthony Hayward is not so much a brand as a radical movement for change in men’s luxury accessories. Its mission can be formulated in the following way: to create the most innovative cufflink brand in the world. Each patent-pending design was conceived to reinvent the way that a French cuff shirt is attached at the wrist so innovative that the company refers to them as arm architecture.
