Recon’s Jet HUD sports glasses are the cool jock to Google Glass’ slightly awkward (but still pretty cool) chess team president. Starting today, you can pre-order the Jet Pilot headset and start tracking your athletic (but still cool with nerds) …

Mazda is on a roll with its KODO design, and latest to get the “Soul of Motion” treatment is the new Mazda3. Historically the best seller in the Japanese company’s line-up, and now in its third generation, the 2014 Mazda3 picks up where the sharply swoopy Mazda6 sedan left off, with a more aggressive grille,
NVIDIA’s Shield won’t arrive on its previously announced date of June 27th, instead moving its launch date to an undetermined point in July. A statement issued by NVIDIA explains the delay ambiguously, citing “a mechanical issue that relates to a third-party component” — the company confirmed to Engadget it’s an internal component, but wouldn’t go into any more detail.
“We want Shield to be perfect, so we have elected to shift the launch date to July,” the statement reads. We pushed the company for a specific date but were rebuffed — “We’ll update you as soon as we have an exact date,” was all we were told. We’ll have a full review of the Shield just ahead of its July launch; for now, we’ve got a hands-on with the final version from mid-May to tide you over. Head below the break for that video.

Want to embrace Recon Instruments’ sunglasses-based vision of the future before it officially reaches store shelves? You can: the company has just started pre-orders for its Jet heads-up display in a $499 Pilot Edition. The inaugural eyewear will come with apps for both cyclists and triathletes, and it should beat the production model to market by several months. There’s even a financial incentive for that impatience, as the pricing goes up to $599 on July 21st. If you don’t mind a potentially rough experience while tracking your mid-race performance, the Pilot Edition is waiting at the source link.

True Blood, HBO’s softcore vampire epic, doesn’t have anything to do with consumer audio, but that didn’t stop V-Moda from releasing a pair of their popular M-80 headphones with True Blood branding. As a result of this ill-fated crossover, you can cop a pair of nice cans for $70 off the normal price.

Recon Instruments, which debuted its wirelessly connected eyewear with a heads-up display at Google I/O last month, is starting to take preorders for the gadgets.
Consumers can place orders now for the Recon Jet for $500 at jet.reconinstruments.com. And though the glasses debuted at Google I/O, they have nothing to do with Google Glass, despite some striking similarities.
The Vancouver, B.C., company said the limited “Pilot Edition” model will begin shipping in December and continue into 2014 on a first come, first served basis. That ship date will be “several months prior to full production” of the Recon Jet glasses, at which point the price will jump to $600.

It was last summer when we first heard the rumblings that Apple was preparing to launch a retail presence in Russia, and a year later, it’s arrived. The company has opened a localized version of its online store, letting locals snap up the fruity devices without resorting to a middle man. There’s no word on if this’ll be followed up with a retail presence, but we imagine Apple will have to amend its T-Shirt-based retail uniform for those unyielding Siberian winters.
