Hasta La Gadget!

And here it is. After we unearthed the Sonos CR200 in a FCC filing, out comes the first pic. As we expected, it’s a portrait controller and is said to include a touch-screen which makes an on-screen QWERTY keyboard a lock for searching by artist, album, or song titles. Goodbye scroll-wheel! If you own a Sonos, then you know this is the best thing to happen since, well, buying your Sonos… just so long as it’s not priced for $399 like the CR100 it replaces.

We get it. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes when you’re staring into the sad abyss of an empty Tennessee fifth, the idea of initiating an impromptu video conference in total darkness seems mighty compelling. That’s where Samsung’s SCH-W760 with 7.2Mbps HSDPA and front-facing infrared camera can help. It’s available now in Korea and could be the difference between making a solo bed-spin performance or 3- to 6-months served at county for violating your restraining order. The choice is yours for KRW580,000 or about 445 of the green stuff.

DivShare is at it again! TechCrunch is reporting that there are some more changes coming to DivShare soon that will truly make it the one stop shop for all of your file hosting needs. There has been no announcement on the DivShare blog yet, but I suspect an announcement will be coming soon.

As of right now you can upload any type of files to DivShare, and they will let you embed videos, image slideshows, MP3’s, and now documents (PDF, DOC, PPT) into your own site for your visitors. The service is completely free, and there are no limits on storage or bandwidth. On Tuesday, however, they will be kicking it up a notch by releasing an API for developers to use. With it, DivShare will handle all of the hosting, and your users will be able to embed items directly onto your site.

They also just launched a new iPhone version of the DivShare management page. It has a sleek interface, and makes it super easy to email a file to a friend. You can also download files on your iPhone using it, and the iPhone download page is extremely clean.

DivShare is growing at an almost alarming pace, and they have more than 137,000 registered users uploading 12,000 new files each day. There are over 2 million files being hosted on their servers, and I can only imagine what their bandwidth costs are like! Their Alexa graph shows no sign of them slowing down anytime soon:

Many of you probably know that we use DivShare all over our site, and without it we would not be able to provide you the download mirrors that you have become accustomed to on some of our articles. So we would like to give a big thanks to DivShare for being such a great site to host our files, and there’s no doubt in my mind that they will have continued success!

Sega Toys will soon be coming out with another stylish projector for the home, though instead of the universe this time they’ll be focusing on some other shooting stars. The Uchiage Hanabi (product page) uses five moving lenses that project animated images of exploding fireworks onto the walls and ceiling.

The projector also allows users to create their own images by drawing onto special film for projection, and then shoot fireworks around it in celebration.

What’s also interesting is the detail that they went to, even creating the rocket blasting through the sky before exploding onto the wall.

French accessories company HOON has teamed up with audio company The Perfect Unison for a line of python skin skinned headphones. The cans are made of nine layers of birch wood, lined with goat skin, and finally covered in the skin of a mighty snake for the ultimate, luxurious audiophile experience. The ear pieces are made of hand-varnished carbon fibers, presumably because the beaks of dodo birds were unavailable. These high-tech, beastly beauties will run you €1,160.00 (roughly $1,650) should you choose to make them yours.
