Puma Cell Meio
With its dress shoe-inspired upper and visible inverse duoCELL forefoot and heel technology, the Puma Cell Meio ($130) is having a bit of an identity crisis. But that's a good thing. These hot kicks are as tech savvy as they are stylish, featuring juicy lime green soles and snakeskin-embossed leather construction.
New Balance 920
You might not know it, but your footwear is lacking. Fortunately for you, New Balance has developed the 920 ($94), a shoe so rad it could accurately be described as an orgasm — for your feet. The 920s include a water resistant topside, H2O Flow technology for quick draining, a quick-pull lacing system and a Vibram Razor-siping Outsole. The mere fact that you have no idea what that last thing is, is proof that you need these on your feet immediately.
Pico USB Flash Drive
You won't find a smaller drive with this much storage anywhere. The easily-lost Pico USB Flash Drive ($50) is less than 4mm thick yet holds 8GB of digital miscellany. It sports a polished chrome finish and is shock and water resistant.
Lego Death Star
Drool. The new Lego Death Star ($400) is the emperor of all Star Wars toys, featuring 25 minifig characters and multiple decks of Episode IV goodness. Included in the set are rarities like Stormtrooper-ized Luke and Han, the Dianoga trash compactor monster (!), and various droids (Interrogation Droid, R2-Q5, etc.), as well as areas such as the Death Star superlaser with control room and target monitor, the hangar bay with TIE starfighter, detention block, and the Emperor's throne room.
Feed the Animals by Girl Talk
The master of mashup Greg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) has returned with the highly anticipated followup to 2006's Night Ripper. Feed the Animals is like a musical scavenger hunt, mashing Faith No More with Busta Rhymes and innumerable other less-than-obvious combinations. Additionally, it's likely the most upbeat album to drop in 2008. Preliminary tests in Uncrate's NYC office have shown it to induce uncontrollable dancing in crowds of three or more, so throw it on at your next house party. It's available now via that newfangled digital download that all the kids are talking about. Name your price.
iPhone 3G
Time to upgrade. Apple overlord Steve Jobs just introduced the all-new iPhone 3G ($199-$299). Besides the faster 3G wireless connection speeds and all of the previous revolutionary iPhone features, the new model also gets built-in GPS, better battery life (10 hours of talk time on 2G networks and 5 hours using 3G), a flush headphone jack, and iPhone 2.0 software with support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, the new MobileMe web suite, and a bunch of new downloadable applications from the iTunes App Store. The iPhone 3G also sports a new (and slightly thicker) glossy case in standard Apple black or white. Both 8GB (black) and 16GB (black or white) capacities remain. The iPhone 3G will go on sale July 11th in over 20 countries.
Timex Expedition E-Instrument Watches
As far as we're concerned, you can never have too many tools on a sport watch. The Timex Expedition E-Instrument Watches give us our fill of features. In addition to standard features (time, date, Indiglo, etc.), the watches provide extras like temperature (on dry land or underwater), predicting tide clock, and a built-in compass. Models come in three classes — E-Tide-Temp-Compass ($160-$170), E-Tide-Temp ($120-$130), and E-Compass ($130-$175).
R2 Manual T-Shirt
Jawas tend to sell shoddy merchandise. Be prepared (or at least look like it) in an R2 Manual T-Shirt ($24). This tee is perfect for any Astromech droid owner.
Oakley iPhone Case
Add some ruggedness to your iPhone with this case from Oakley. Made from Unobtainium rubber, the Oakley iPhone Case ($30) features an open face for the screen, access to all controls and ports, and can sit on its side to act as a stand for watching extended videos.
Netflix Player by Roku
Au revoir, Apple TV. The new Netflix Player by Roku ($100) lets you watch movies and TV shows from your Netflix queue, right on your TV, without ever going to the mail box. The streaming set-top box provides instant access to more than 10,000 movies and TV shows (currently about 10% of the Netflix library). Surprisingly compact (approximately 5" x 5" x 2"), the Netflix Player features Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), HDMI and Component Video, and comes with a simple remote that lets you make selections, rate movies, and fast-forward or rewind video streams. The best part is that there's no extra costs in all of this. You just have to buy the box and have a Netflix subscription. Awesome.
Salomon Speedcross 2
If you prefer to do your running off the beaten path, reward your feet with the Salomon Speedcross 2 Trail-Running Shoes ($110). Specially designed for off-road racing, the Speedcross 2 features nylon mesh uppers with synthetic leather overlays for fast drying and maximum breathability, a Quicklace lacing system, a Sensifit design that helps minimize foot slippage, and more. They're like mud tires for your feet.
Aliph Jawbone 2
The best noise-blocking Bluetooth headset just got better. The new Aliph Jawbone 2 ($130) is 50 percent smaller than the original, and steps up the noise elimination with DARPA-approved NoiseAssassin technology. The new headset also offers improved looks, thanks to its textured exterior and touch-sensitive buttons, and lasting battery life, with 4 hours of talk time and up to 8 days of standby service. Better looks, better tech, and a smaller size, at the same price. Sounds good to us.
Instant Kitchen
You've made it. You're in the big city, living the dream. In an apartment the size of a small bathroom. With no kitchen in sight. Enter the Hansen Living Instant Kitchen ($TBD). This all-in-one unit contains everything you need — oven, gas jets, electric power, refrigerator and sink. Installation involves wrangling it up two flights of narrow stairs and hooking it up to a water supply and plugging it into an electric outlet. [via]
Neuton Battery-Powered Mower
Remove the hassle of mixing gas from your mowing routine and help out the environment with the Neuton Battery-Powered Mower ($480). Like conventional mowers, the Neuton includes a mulching plug, bagger, and side discharge chute, but unlike conventional mowers, it's powered by a rechargeable 24-volt battery that provides enough juice for 45-60 minutes of mowing per charge. Plus, it's nearly silent - just turn the safety knob, squeeze the handlebar, and mow.
