Well, well… Amazon’s Kindle e-reader just keeps getting better. A new version is now available at the company’s website for $489. It’s a stiff price but, it’s all worth it because the new Kindle DX features a much bigger screen, 9.7-inches, which is really bigger than Kindle 2’s 6-inch diagonal screen. Reading from this e-reader gives the impression that you’re reading from paper with its total footprint of 10.4-inches by 7.2-inches. The Kindle DX’s features make it great for reading newspapers, textbooks, and business documents.

Do you easily get distracted by the clutter that usually piles up on your work space? Many people have this kind of problem, me included. So, while browsing the net I came across this neat yet extremely stylish accessory that can help us organize our stuff. Really! This accessory is the Monitor Corner Frame. As the name implies, it can be attached to the side of your computer monitor by means of three fastener tabs. It has slots where you can put your favorite pictures, pens, and even sticky notes! With this monitor frame you will always know where your clips, pens, and paper are kept. You don’t have to rummage through a pile just to find the thing you need in that instant.

Girls who love music will surely love this little piece of gadget. It’s pink that’s why it caught my eyes instantly. Thought I just have to share it with you trendy techies out there. I don’t think you guys would like to have it as well, would you?

If you think the e-book hype is over already, think again. I don’t think e-book reader makers have exhausted their efforts yet because a new reader has been launched recently, although it’s not from Sony, Amazon, or Fujitsu. The new reader called Cool-er is manufactured by Interead. The Cool-er reader has a character of its own with its lightweight and colorful design. Weighing just 170 grams and with eight colors available, the Cool-er is a great tool for reading e-books in.

It has 1GB of memory that can be used for storing e-books in. And if that storage space is not enough, there’s also an SD memory card slot available.

There are times when you just need to plug several appliances at a time in the same electric plugs and sockets. This usually means having lots of cables all over the place. And when the time comes that you no longer need to use one of them, you just suddenly stop because you can’t identify which plug must be pulled off. Well, you can leave that situation behind as long as you have the Dotz. This is an ingenious solution made by Cordotz. It’s a three-in-one package because it contains the Dotz Identifiers, Dotz Strap, and the Dotz Winder.

Come June you’ll be able to hold the much awaited Palm Pre in your hands. But you know what? It is not the only thing that Palm will be dispatching next month. A cell phone needs to be charged regularly to keep working, so voila! Palm is also unveiling a new charger. But, it’s not a common type of handset charger. Be prepared to make way for the Touchstone, a wireless charging pad.

At first glance you won’t immediately recognize the Touchstone as a charging device because of its round shape and flat surface. In fact, there’s nothing to indicate that it’s a charger at all!

I’m beginning to have a great liking for colorful gadgets. Maybe that’s the reason why this new SmartQ 7 didn’t escape my eyes. This is the better-looking sibling of the SmartQ 5 MID that was unveiled a few months ago, if you’ve heard of it. This attractive internet tablet features a crystal clear 7-inch WVGA touchscreen, which by the way is the reason for its name. This screen with 800 x 400 pixel resolution is the first thing that you’ll notice in this device and if you look at its shell, you can’t help but admire the subtly curved edges.

Looks can really be deceiving at times, right? The new line of CinemaView displays by Collins America could make you think they’re Apple Mini DisplayPort monitors when they’re not! These three new LCD monitors are mirror images of the ones under the Apple brand, especially the 24-inch model. 19, 20.1, and 24 inches are the sizes available for the CinemaView line with 1440x900 pixels, 1650x1050, and 1920x1080 resolutions respectively. With prices ranging from $299 to $499, this new line is more affordable than Apple’s. This new line is a great option for those who want to have a more affordable option for a bigger monitor they use with their Macs.

Most satellite navigation devices are bulky and not stylish to look at, at all. But, the new Garmin Oregon 500 is not. In fact this navigation looks like a touchscreen cell phone. But aside from its style, the Garmin Oregon is also designed to be tough and durable. Well, it should be since it is intended for outdoor use. It is designed with a waterproof casing and rubberized finish. This crush-resistant shell is so tough that you can take it with you wherever you go and in whatever kind of weather you may be in.

Fujitsu enters into the ebook reader market. This company might just have an edge over its competitors with the way it designed its eReader. Most of the eReader available today are in black and white, but Fujitsu’s FLEPia is not. It comes in full-colored splendour. It features an 8-inch 1,024 x 768 XGA touch screen that gives 260,000 colors! It’s a technology that Fujitus fondly refers to as “color e-paper”. Also included in the device are a scroll key and six function buttons.

There might also come a time when LCDs and HD TVs would no longer be the “in” thing when it comes to home entertainment systems. The new and still under development 3D system could take their place soon. The holoTV is the latest holographic TV system that cast an animation directly to a white-light screen. This image that’s created seems to float in front of the screen and not inside it. So, viewers can watch the scene from all angles whether they’re in front, behind, or next to the screen.

What is the USB design that you haven’t seen so far? Stunningly bejeweled USB flash drives have been paraded on the web many times over. There have also been USB sticks shaped like food to whet the appetite. But look, here’s a new design from Dima Komissarov. This time it’s a USB purse design for women! Fashionistas who want stylish gadgets to go with their outfits will sure be glad to have these purse-designed USBs.

Has there ever been a time in your life when you can’t sleep because your feet are so cold? If you have, then you understand how uncomfortable it can be. I’ve heard that if your feet are cold, your whole body will be chilled as well.
