Remember our review of Top 10 Best Speakers for iPod/iPhones?  Well we didn’t cover any wireless speakers and here’s a great find, a Sony Ericsson MBS-200 Bluetooth wireless portable speaker!

It’s not available right now but you should be order it here soon.

Measuring 10.5 cm in diameter, the “ball” features OLED display on top that shows the track name playing from your phone. The speaker connects wirelessly to your mobile phone and allows you to listen to your favorite music in high quality audio. It also has a 3.5 mm input.

Here’s a great wiki site showing you good information on how to hack the ASUS Eee PC including how to add a GPS unit without breaking your arm off.

There are several points on the motherboard where power can be draw, for devices requiring 3.3v or 5v. Ground is universal and allows for short wire runs. A diagram over the points can be found on the research page.

The signal wires thickness is 30 AWG and 24 AWG for the power and ground wires. The wire type is called wire wrap and used for prototyping and repair work. Mine is Tefzel insulated and made by Habia Cable. Some of the devices are held in place by double-sided 1 mm thick foam tape. To cover up and prevent shorts I used 3M Kapton 10 mm wide tape.

Here’s a funny throwing camera that will capture pictures at set intervals on its way down.  This seems like an excellent way to capture some random images from slightly above ground level.

The Flee Digital Camera is designed specifically to take photos after you’ve launched it into the air. The casing for the camera actually looks like it was inspired by some of the fancier balls made for playing fetch with your dog.

The Flee is bluetooth enabled and will transmit the photos it takes directly to your cellphone. No word on the size and quality of the pictures or on what the usable range away from the cellphone is.

Wow, this is awesome! This guy is serious about recycling. The hard disks are connected to his MIDI system and are all coordinated to play drums. Well watch the video after the jump to see it in action!

Fibra from Belgrade has created an interesting drum system. It uses old hard drive read/write arms as drum hammers. The original hard drive voice coils are used to move the arms. The picture above is the new system which doesn’t seem to be documented yet, have a look at the video for a demonstration of the first version. If you need a larger hard drive project fix have a look at these hard drive projects.

Here’s a good instructable on how to build a cheap bluetooth audio for your GPS. If your GPS doesn’t already support bluetooth (I believe most don’t), this is a great cheap way to get all those audible directions into just the driver’s ears, not everyone in the car.

I needed a way to hear my cheap a$$ GPS under the helmet on my motorcycle and didn’t wanna fork over 2x the price for a “motorcycle ready” GPS device so I made it myself.
This may be interesting to bikers a well!

Well maybe this one possibly is, this is the Chanel Choco Phone that has been designed by Fred de Garilhe.

It is made up of optic fibre system placed between two pieces of glass.

When this is closed it could be anything at all, but once opened it takes no imagination to realise that this is a really fancy phone.

We all know that software is used to track users and what they do, and therefore why should Apple be any different, well it simple really there are a lot people around the world who think that Steve Jobs is god and Apple is his religion of which they all follow.

This is why spying leave all of these folks with a bad taste in their mouths. So how does this work? When you use the iPhone and press the weather application, data is sent along to a web address at Apple and some details too, like the IMEI number etc, this can track where you are and what you are doing at the time.

This could also be used by Apple to find all of those unlocked phones, but users should check out their agreement if they don’t this and see if there is anything on there that will stop this from going on!

Well if you take notice of what Verizon dealers are saying, then it would appear that it may be good enough to give the Apple iPhone a run for its money.

But as with any device, it is only as good as what it does, how much it costs and how it will fit into your lifestyle. By the looks of it the hype has started early and as normal I expect that we will be seeing a lot more of this in the next few months and then there is the Google Phone coming out next year too, so many choices!

This is the Sony Ericsson concept phone, this will have a USB port which is going to be very handy and will probably begin to see this feature in other phones.

The design has a large screen and a nice bit of stainless steel added to the buttons.

There is not much word on price and availability but one thing is for sure they need to get a move on, because there will definitely be similar ideas on other brands.
