Only- Electronics

Jewelry is created not only to emphasize individuality of a person, but also was worn to be useful to him. Now we simply get lost among a huge variety of rings, beads, bracelets. The company Chocolate Agency has offered the optimum decision with its unusual jewelry. Their multimedia gadget is an unusual bracelet. This gadget in my opinion does not compete with earrings with camera built in but it still a very cool device.

Samba de Amigo is barreling towards the Wii, and we all understand that it’ll be a lot less exciting without the Wii Maracas. Thanks to Amazon’s quick trigger finger, we now know that Sega’s Wiimote accessories will go for $14.99 per pair, and if all goes to plan, they’ll be shipping out on September 23rd. Of course, we’d suggest you pocket that and just craft your own wildly colored (and slightly gourd-shaped) Wiimote covers, but we understand not everyone was blessed with those DIY genes.

We’d take all these rumors with a huge grain of salt given how much chatter there is ahead of Photokina, but Canon’s Chinese site briefly posted an official page for an EOS 50D this afternoon. It’s down now, but the listed specs are pretty solid: 15.1 megapixel sensor with a 1.6x crop and ISO 128000 sensitivity through a DIGIC 4 processor, dust reduction, VGA-res 3-inch LCD, and built-in image stabilization — which is a little odd given Canon’s great line of IS lenses. Google still has the page cached if you want to take a look — it’s thrilling, trust us.

PS.- As usual, this image has been floating around forever, so it’s probably a mockup.

You know how it goes with Sony — proprietary just seems to rule the roost. Thankfully, the outfit is at least recognizing a trend in the market by trotting out an iPod-friendly version of its S-AIR wireless audio technology. The new S-AIRPLAY system (formally known as AIR-SA20PK) comes with one iPod docking station and a pair of S-AIR wireless speakers, though there is an AM / FM tuner built in should your stored jams get stale. Sony suggests that music can be beamed some 164-feet away from the dock sans cabling, and so long as your S-AIR speaker is plugged into a power outlet (and within the aforementioned range), it’ll pick up the signal and start talkin’. Look for the kit to land next month for around $400, while additional S-AIR wireless speakers will set you back $130 apiece. Full release after the break.

Man, we didn’t even know the Muteki moniker was still in existence. Nevertheless, Sony has just added a big, bad member to said congregation with the LBT-DJ2i XROSS FADE. This rather beastly music system packs 450 total watts of power, a CD player, AM / FM tuners, a line-in jack, a pair of 2-way shelf speakers, a dual 7-inch subwoofer enclosure and the ability to convert CDs / radio to MP3 files. And that’s just the beginning. Aspiring DJs will also find a bundled cross-fader with monitor cue and a built-in two-channel mixer, and the iPod-lovin’ interface ensures that you’ll never have to touch your PMPs once they’re mounted. There’s also a USB recording function to save mix sessions to a USB device in ATRAC MP3 format. Too bad this setup will cost you half a grand when it ships next month. Check the full release after the cut.

Face it, folks — internet browsing shouldn’t be confined to your desktop / laptop. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of options out there when looking to get the intarwebz (and we mean the whole intarwebz) in your pocket. For those out there who’ve found the perfect one from the smattering of choices, throw Adam (and countless others) a bone here.

“I have a BlackBerry Pearl and the web browsing on it sucks like a tornado. What I want is a web browsing device that rocks me like a hurricane. I’d rather not have something large, even as large as a netbook like the Eee PC. There are the Nokia tablets. There’s the Archos 605 / 705 WiFi. There are UMPCs like the Q1 Ultra. Then there’s the iPhone / iPod touch. I’m looking for something that I can access the internet on from the couch or the john with a full HTML browser. And I need something that won’t break the bank.”

So, whatcha got? After you’re done posting your answer from the lavatory, send over a question of your own to ask at engadget dawt com.

It’s been mostly hugs and cupcakes for Intel’s Atom processors lately — they’re apparently selling like hotcakes, and they’re the stars of the Intel Developer Conference this week. But although Intel was confidently predicting that supply would meet demand by next month, it sounds like Atoms might still be hard to come by — PC World quotes an unnamed ASUS exec as saying there’s a “serious shortage” of the chips, leading the PC manufacturer to turn to Celeron chips to meet demand. Intel reps are sticking to the party line and saying that the supply issue will be resolved by the end of the third quarter, but we’ll see how it goes — something tells us ASUS isn’t helping itself out too much by cranking out an endless string of Atom-based Eee PCs, either.

The folks at G4 have a juicy tidbit on the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour cacophony of simulated instruments: there might be another one in the works. G4 cites Neversoft’s Brian Bright, who let slip that a new peripheral is coming, and will be designed specifically for the music-creating Studio mode (pictured above). The logical choice is a keyboard, since it’s the preferred method for entering melodies and other mundane tasks by boring people, but we’re secretly gunning for Guitar Hero Bassoon — check out the video after the break to see why.

We’ve seen a number of wireless power systems come and go, but for all the hype-filled bombast and occasional working demo, the tech just hasn’t gone anywhere — but even with that background, Intel’s demo of a wireless power system that can broadcast 60 watts of power up to three feet at IDF with 75 percent efficienyc has us giddy with excitement. The system works using essentially the same magnetic induction principle as all the others, but Intel’s seems the furthest along, and the company hopes to one day be able to charge laptops with it. Yeah, we’ll take three.

Remember a million years ago when Nintendo first introduced the “Revolution,” later to be known as the Wii? It wasn’t white, and it seemed multiple colors were a shoe-in for the shiny plastic console. Since then, Nintendo has sung a very white, supply-limited song with the Wii, and we’re ready for some change. This is not that change. But at least Nintendo is acknowledging that, indeed, other colors do exist, and look just smashing when waved around in the air, in the form of fancy new pastel-colored Wiimote straps for Japan. They cost a few bucks each, or you can get the whole pack for $10. No word if they’ll be heading Stateside.
