Today at CES, Monster announced that wide-ranging rapper, producer, and entrepreneur Sean Combs is bestowing his “Diddy” moniker on a new high-end in-ear headset, for the company’s Beats by Dr. Dre line (the originals were reviewed by PCMag’s Tim Gideon). The Diddy Beats, listed at a not-inconsiderable $179.99, feature “high-tech aluminum and leather-wrapped housing and high-polished enamel,” along with “today’s most advanced sonic technologies,: according to Monster.
Diddy follows in the footsteps of pop-singer-of-the-moment Lady Gaga, who partnered with Monster last year on the very sparkly Heartbeats headset.
Take a look after the jump for some photos from the actual announcement event (thanks, Chloe Albanesius!).

Case-Mate is set up within the new iLounge Pavilion in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, and among the displays chockfull of silicon skins there was some new gear we wouldn’t mind bringing home. On hand were a ton of their Fuel models (you know, the cases that charge your device while they’re on) for a boatload of phones — including multiple BlackBerry models as well as for the iPhone. Also new were the very artsy iPhone cases featuring various designs on the back. Finally, Case-Mate was showing off its first foray into the increasingly crowded induction charging space with a matching iPhone jacket that was a bit bulky for our tastes. Case-Mate has always been one of our favorite case companies, and we’re definitely excited to see where they’re headed into the future.

Vuzix Wrap 920AR augmented reality video eyewear: can you afford to look like this?
Posted in: augmented reality, AugmentedReality, Today's Chili
CES 2010 might go down in history as the show of silly glasses, and Vuzix isn’t going to cede any ground to 3D: it’s launching a new augmented reality headset called the Wrap 920AR, which features a built-in stereoscopic camera that allows reality and computer-generated imagery to blend in front of your eyes. To be clear, that means you’ll actually be looking at reality on a 1,504 x 480 screen while you wear these glasses, but what’s one layer of virtualized abstraction between friends who don’t mock each other for wearing ridiculous $800 video glasses?

This article was written on July 25, 2006 by CyberNet.
It has been out for almost a year but it looks like Google Talk doesn’t have very much to show for it. You are probably thinking “how bad can it really be?” Well, it is that bad.
The Comscore chart above shows how many unique visitors each of the messenger clients got in May 2006. It is important to note that you need to add three zeros on to the end of each value to get the correct representation. That means MSN Messenger (now Windows Live Messenger) had 204 million unique visitors while Google Talk received just 3.4 million! One thing that I don’t like about the figures above is that they don’t include Skype and ICQ.
Now those numbers also don’t include any information from the integrated Google Talk in GMail but that wouldn’t exactly give Google the 200 million visitors that it needs to be number one. So why is no one using Google Talk? I actually use Google Talk as my only messenger and I really like it. The only feature that I seem to miss every now and then is the ability to transfer files between friends. They could probably find other ways to integrate it with some of their services as well, like being able to send a Google Calendar appointment to a friend via Google Talk. They just need to get creative and start tying all of their services together.

Samsung launches R30 and R80 series of laptops with a Touch of Color, dose of Blu-ray
Posted in: samsung, Today's Chili
If Samsung’s latest cadre of netbooks don’t have the oomph for your professional mobile computing needs, perhaps you’ll find the new R30 and R80 series models more to your liking. The R430 and R530 laptops are 14- and 15.6-inch laptops both relying on Intel’s Core 2 Duo T6600 processor, 320GB hard drives, and 4GB of DDR3 memory, and good ‘ol GMA 4500MHD graphics. The R480, R580 and R780 models are 14-, 15.6-, and 17-inch, 16:9, LED-backlit models rocking Core i5 430M processors. Storage gets bumped to 500GB on this series, while the larger of the two get GeForce GT graphics as well as Blu-ray drives. All entrants in both series offer 802.11b/g/n wireless and are available with Samsung’s “Touch of Color” hues, which will surely earn you some jealous looks in the boardroom. Both R30 models will set you back $670, the R480 is $849, R580 is $949, and the range-topping R780 is, curiously, $20 cheaper: $929. That and the R30 models are available now. The other two R80s arrive in March.Samsung launches R30 and R80 series of laptops with a Touch of Color, dose of Blu-ray originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:33:00 EST.

Windows Mobile 7 coming to MWC in February, not just ‘evolutionary’
Posted in: breaking news, BreakingNews, Microsoft, mwc, mwc 2010, Mwc2010, Today's Chili, Windows Mobile, WindowsMobile
We’d heard some rumblings, but apparently Robbie Bach let the cat out of the bag at an analyst briefing this week, stating that we should expect a showing of Windows Mobile 7 at the Mobile World Congress show in Spain, which begins on February 15th. He also added that the OS (which he’s played with, surprisingly) will “set the bar forward not in (just) an evolutionary way,” and that Microsoft is going to be “more engaged” with OEMs in its “go to market approach.” We love a good buzzword or three, but the hope here is that Microsoft has learned its lesson from iPhone and Android and is ready to compete in the next-gen smartphone game in a big way — a WinMo 7 showing just four months after the release of Windows Mobile 6.5 certainly smacks of that.
[Thanks, Matthias]
