Star Wars in 3D
George Lucas has confirmed that they are working on getting all the original Star Wars episodes out in 3D versions. Actually, I’m not so excited about this news story. I would prefer they took all that time and effort into producing new movies instead (The conversion cost is between $50,000 and $100,000 per minute). What do you think?

Stop burglars with FakeTV
Here is a neat little invention that basically is just a white box with a series of LED lights that simulates a real TV. Apparently it looks like the real thing from outside. The device can be all yours for $40.

Get those old VHS tapes on Youtube
Ion put out a neat vinyl to mp3 gadget a few years ago, and now they are back with the similar Ion USB VCR but this time it’s all about digitizing your old VHS tapes. The price is $229.99.

Cameraphone
Hehe, well, I just wanted to share this lovely Photoshopped image – a true cameraphone. Today, it is common to find cellphones with built in cameras , in fact it’s hard to find a cell phone without a camera. There is no limit to the functions of a cell phone, some people like to use them to play bingo while others to chat online. How many people actually use them to talk?

Famicase
It was many, many years since a NES cartridge left the Nintendo factory in Japan, but here’s a bunch of fan made imaginary games and artwork. Cool thing.

Make your iPhone 3G fit
Rather than throwing away your old iPhone dock, you can just use your steady hands and a dremel and make your bulkier iPhone 3G fit. It will all be over in a minute or two if you got the right tools.

Stylish speakers from Sony
The Sony Sountina NSA-PF1 doesn’t look like anything you have seen before. The top of the 6 foot speaker is made of glass and emits sound in a 360-degree circle. I guess you should avoid tripping on the speaker cable as a pair will cost you $11 800….

iPhone 3G sold out
I just read over at Appleinsider that the iPhone 3G is almost sold out all over the states, and that seems to be the case in almost all countries where iPhone 3G debuted ten days ago. In Sweden they ran out of phones after only a few days. I guess those factories are working round the clock and it will be interesting to see how many months it will take until they have delivered enough phones to get on par with the demand.

Samsung TL9
The Samsung TL9 may look just like any other digital camera. And it is. But it has one really cool unusual feature and that’s the two analog gauges that track the amount of free storage and how fresh the battery is. Really cool.
