Hasta La Gadget!

Hard to say if it’ll arrive in time for your Christmas Jam Session this Saturday, but IK Multimedia’s iKlip is now shipping. For those who can’t tell by the incredible image above (and below, for that matter), it’s a microphone clip for your iPad. Plain and simple, simple and plain. Hit the source link to cut $39.99 (or €29.99) from your budget, and inject untold amounts of joy into your life.

Hope you didn’t put your life on pause waiting for the iTwin to ship to the US of A, ’cause it took just over a full year to do so. The company’s self-named device has finally been listed for sale in America this week, with just 50 limited edition builds able to head out prior to Christmas. If your memory has faded somewhat over the past 14 months, this twin-stick solution is meant to pass files between two USB-enabled devices, but unlike Infinitec’s IUM, it’s not making any bold promises related to media streaming. The concept is simple enough; just plug one of the twins into your computer, and the other into your pal’s computer. It relies on 256-bit AES encryption to keep things secure, and if that’s good enough for you, the source link is the where you need to be. These first-run kits are selling for $99 (plus $10 shipping), with a choice of gunmetal gray and lime green awaiting you, and if you miss your shot now, general availability will hit early next month.

C’mon now, don’t act all surprised. This one followed the picture perfect path to shipping: announcement, hands-on, a stop by the FCC’s database and now, a formal portal in Creative’s webstore. If the Galaxy Tab, eLocity A7, G Tablet and Advent Vega haven’t exactly tickled your fancy, there’s hardly a chance the 7-inch ZiiO will have what it takes. That said, it’s now up for grabs at $249.99, with that sum getting you 8GB of storage ($20 more doubles it to 16GB), an 800×400 resolution display, Android 2.1, a ZiiLABS ZMS-08 HD processor, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a front-facing VGA camera. Unfortunately, this thing has a zero percent chance of revolutionizing your life in the way that the ZiiEagle already has, but perhaps it’ll bring you joy in some smaller, less meaningful way.

[Thanks, Terrence]

Looking for a bargain bin tablet without the bargain bin stigma? We told you around three months ago to look Stream TV’s way, but it seems that the same message could be applied today. For whatever reason, the 7-inch eLocity A7 tablet actually didn’t ship in September, but according to a fresh piece of PR, that’s being remedied today. The A7 — complete with Android 2.2 and NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 silicon — has started shipping today to those who placed a pre-order, and it’s also found a safe and secure spot on Amazon’s website. ‘Course, it’s listed as “out of stock” for the time being, but as soon as the factory lines start cranking at a decent clip, the $399 slate should make an appearance at Walmart, NewEgg, BJs, Tiger Direct and Micro Center (among other places). Emphasis on should.

So, the mystery’s solved. If you’ll recall, we spotted ASUS’ Eee PC 1015T sittin’ pretty at Computex, but considering that the OS was wiped by the time we got to it, we were left to take the placard’s word for it when it came to specifications. Now, B&H has begun to offer this bad boy here in the States, with $349.99 nabbing you a 1.2GHz AMD V105 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB (5400RPM) hard drive, ATI’s Mobility Radeon HD 4250, a 10.1-inch LED-backlit panel, inbuilt webcam, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 32-bit copy of Windows 7 Starter and a six-cell battery. All told, it rings up at 2.8 pounds and should last anywhere between three and six hours on a full charge, but we’re guessing real-world performance will swing towards the former. It’s available right now in blue, black and white, and if you’re looking for a way to stick it to Intel’s sluggish Atom line, here it is.
