Samsung Epic 4G – Review Round-Up
On August - 31 - 2010
Earlier today Sprint released another 4G phone, the Samsung Epic. It has a 1GHz processor, Android 2.1 (where’s 2.2?), a 5.0 megapixel camera that records video in 720p, a front-facing camera for video chat, a 4″ Super AMOLED screen, and a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
It’ll cost you 249.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year contract. Just like the HTC EVO 4G there is a mandatory data fee of $10 a month for 4G even if you don’t live in a 4G market.
Enough of that, on to the reviews!

What Would You Do for a Flying Car?
On July - 1 - 2010
Terrafugia has just gotten their newest little creation, the Terrafugia Transition, “off the ground.” (Oh God I’m so clever) Apparently the FAA has classified it as a light sport aircraft, technically giving it a free pass despite being a little heavier than the cutoff point. This is pretty crazy. I’ve been waiting for flying cars for a while now. It’s not exactly what I was thinking (kind of pictured more of a wingless concept, maybe capitalizing on anti-gravity or something) but hey, I’m thoroughly intrigued. Now all that’s keeping me on the ground is a fear of heights/fear of my own ability to fly an aircraft of any sort.
You Can Own A Tron Lightcycle

Not just a Tron Lightcycle, but one that runs and is street-legal. You’re just going to need around 35K to do so. But hey, if I had it I’d do it. How awesome would that be?
The bike will be custom built based on what you want including a choice between either a high-powered electric or gas-powered motor. Go here for the listing and more info

Right now if you go Tokyo Flash Makes Crazy Watches
On June - 10 - 2010
I have to admit I like their designs, but I’ve never owned a watch that required an instruction manual and some practice in order for me to learn how to read it. That’s exactly how the Kisai Changing Lanes watch is, you’re lost without directions. I included the background image for the the page where you can buy the watch because I feel like it is completely representative of how crazy the face is. Check below the cut for an explanation on how to actually read this thing.
Brando Bluetooth Keyboard
On June - 10 - 2010
This thing seems really awesome. It fits in your hand like a larger smartphone and is bluetooth, so it can work with anything that accepts bluetooth including laptops, PS3′s, iPad’s, and anything else. On top of the compatibility it’s only $40. It has an internal rechargeable battery and comes with a USB charging cable. I could really use one of these for my PS3. You know you could use one for yours, or your iPad. Let’s face it, touchscreens are cool and all, but typing on them is not. You can view more pictures and order it here. They also have a version that is a little bit larger, but cheaper that can be found here.
