No, it’s not a Doomsday clock, ticking away the precious seconds of your brief mortality. It’s just another iPod dock, the CR-iP500 from Kenwood. The 371 x 175 x 187-mm globule of thump brings a pair of amplified 5W speakers, a built-in FM tuner, slot-in CD player, and a USB 2.0 jack to playback unprotected WMA and MP3 audio files off USB sticks

In case black just isn’t your gadget spirit color, T-Mobile has now released a white version of its Googlephone, the G1. The white G1 will cost the same $180 with a two-year contract as its black (and bronze ) counterpart(s), and is available both online and in stores. I might be in a minority opinion here, but I like it! I’ll admit that one of the reasons I was hemming and hawing on getting the G1 to begin with was because I thought it looked like a big clunky brick

Adding to an ever expanding list of new features like pizza ordering and Netflix streaming , TiVo’s now bringing you the option of SlingBox-esque control of your box on your cellphone. Their new mobile site, m.tivo.com, allows both subscribers and non-subscribers to browse television shows, schedule recordings to their TiVo box and possibly find new shows worth hitting the record button for. According to TiVo, the site is optimized for all cellphones and cellphone browsers, so anybody with internet connectivity can use it

I can’t watch TV without my TiVo, but the one thing I’m really lax about is actually programming the damn thing (Best Invention Ever: Season Pass). In an effort to strip away all my excuses for not finding new shows and movies to watch, TiVo is introducing a mobile site at m.tivo.com (warning: link may not be live yet) that will let subscribers with Internet-connected DVRs schedule their TiVo’s remotely from their phones, just like they can today via their laptops. (The mobile site was created by Mobui ).

If you love gaming at loud volumes (who doesn’t) but don’t love the idea of going deaf by the time you’re 35 years old, Able Planet might have something to help you out. Their new PS500MM gaming headphones — developed with technology that was originally used for the moderately hearing-impaired — are supposedly ultra-noise-canceling, which should free you from the need to crank up the volume just to compete with background noise. They’re $99 and available for order now, so you’ll probably want to get over there asap, unless, like us, you destroyed your hearing years ago listening to Use Your Illusion II

A note for all of you budding handset manufacturers out there: if you want to release your device as quickly as possible, don’t make the case white. As far as we can tell from the T-Mobile G1, making white cases takes a whole month longer than making them in black or brown. While all three colors were announced at the same time, the white one has been unavailable since the launch of the device.
