The Garmin-Asus nuvifone, yes that ever delayed handset that always seems to be on the horizon but never actually making it to reality just may be approaching a proper launch according to an article on mobile hornet.
In fact the reviewer somehow got his hands on both of the Linux based Garmin-Asus handsets, the nuvifone G60 and the nuvifone M20 and says both of them are expected to begin shipping “wintin 30 days.”
The word is though that the much delayed Garmin-Asus smartphones will launch in Singapore in August, but to be honest, does anyone care any more?

Don’t worry, the Twilight Watch isn’t some watch for all the fans of the movie Twilight. No, this watch is about the actual twilight, you know, like the time of the day or rather night in this case. It’s an interesting watch that is meant to remind you of the miracle that is the sunrise. Plus it’s made to be a little extra durable, for those that have the tendency to drop their watch in water or just forget to take it off before jumping into a pool.
The watch can stay water resistant up to 100 feet under the water. It’s not entirely waterproof, so you will have to be a little extra careful. At least it does have some protection though. The face of the watch will slowly fade to black throughout the day and keep brightening back up again, it changes about every 20 seconds. It has two polarized disks that rotate to show this effect. You can purchase it for $119.99 from Think Geek.

The other day, I happen to notice that the sides of my body are getting flabby. You might not be able to tell when I am wearing a shirt, but these side fat folds are clearly visible if I’m in my bathing suit.
Fortunately, technology is here to help me. The Ript Fusion undershirt has material made of polyester and spandex blend that can somehow compress my flab into some nicely sculpted abs.
The rest of the shirt is made of cotton, and I am not certain how well this works. I believe that most health experts will say that no technology of any kind is a substitute for diet and exercise.
Yeah, I have my doubts whether this thing will work. Maybe the truth is that the Ript isn’t supposed to make you into the physique of Charles Atlas, but just make you look that way. It does look like the undershirt that Bruce Willis wore in the first Die Hard movie. Actually, I think he wore a tank top, and I can’t remember if he had a good physique in that movie.
Well, if you are willing to try something a little different, then you should be able to purchase it at Ript Fusion from their website in two styles: the Men’s Crew Neck and Men’s V-Neck.
Road warriors, listen up! Here’s the MoGo Talk Bluetooth headset that will definitely change the way you look at such peripherals ever again. It comes in a somewhat similar form factor as other MoGo products (especially mice), as it can fold down flat into a rectangle that fits nicely into your ExpressCard slot on a notebook, getting juiced whenever it is not in use to make sure that you won’t ever run into situations where an important phone call is cut off halfway no thanks to an empty battery on your headset. The MoGo Talk is able to remain on standby for over a week on a full charge, while it comes with a flexible thin rubber ear tip that will conform to the shape of your ear, helping block out noise as well. If you’re interested in picking this up, it will be available later this August for $99 a pop.

Love the Alienware M17x? Well, if you’ve always wanted that high end computer but don’t really like the color it comes in, there is hope for you just yet. This time round, the M17x will be available in Nebula Red, where it falls under the banner of a Special Edition, boasting a fiery new color that envelops its anodized aluminum exterior. This is a clear departure from the traditional black color, and red often signifies blood - that of your opponents, we hope, in view of the Alienware M17x’s superior hardware characteristics that would put many other desktop gaming PCs to shame. All it takes is another $99 on top of the M17x purchase price and you’ll be able to turn black to red.
