Korea’s Ripple has released a new Mac Mini inspired, Atom-based desktop computer called the “Mini Chocolate”.

The PC features a 1.6 GHz Atom processor with support for up to 2 GB of RAM. It also has 4 USB ports, two SATA sockets, and a single IDE socket…plus room for a slot-loading optical drive (which you’ll have to buy separately).

It comes in 3 colors - none of which are brown…so I don’t really get the whole “Chocolate” thing…but whatever. Fro $200 - there isn’t much to complain about here.

The Mio “Knight Rider” GPS is coming soon, and Knight Rider Online got an early look at the device. You can see her how it will work, and get a better idea of what the new voice recordings by William Daniels (the original voice of KITT) will sound like.

Being a fan of the original series, I have mixed feelings about this little device. I would be interested in see one in action, but I don’t know that I’d buy one. I’d have to look at it first.

A rear view mirror with built in GPS has been out over seas for a while now. It was called the DS-400GB, but has its been renamed the “SmartMirror”.

The mirror comes equipped with Navigon Mobile Navigator 6.5, a 4″ touch screen, 2GB SD Card, integrated speakers, bluetooth, and even two video inputs for rear view cameras.

Navigadget has confirmed that the device will be available on August 1st for $799.

For those of you who can’t afford and Optimus Maximus, or who just don’t need every single one of your keys to be OLED enhanced, Art Lebedev is going to be offering up something new at some point in 2008/2009 (he’s not exactly clear on when this thing is coming out or what it will cost), called teh Optimus Pultius.

This little bugger features 15 OLED keys that can be customized in any way that you see fit. The keys are just like the ones on the Maximus, and the Pultius has a USB input on the back to allow you to connect it to your favorite keyboard.

Again - not sure when this bad boy is coming out, but if you’ve been looking for an option for OLED keys without getting a second mortgage, it’s possible that this might be the solution.

CherryPal is a cloud-based computer that is trying things a bit differently. There are no subscription costs with this little machine (which has no moving parts and only draws two watts of power).

The device runs ads when you open a program (but they appear at no other time). It has a 400 MHz Freescale MPC5121e mobileGT processor and 256 MB RAM, and runs a Linux-based operating system.

The device will be available at the end of $249 at the end of July.

You can find a full press release here.

This little device plugs into a USB slot and begins heating up. It’s a stirrer with a liquid heating element attached. Sounds like a genius idea…until you think about the fact that you’re basically giving anyone in the office a branding tool.

Coolest-Gadgets says this thing is more of a concept than an actual product. I hope it stays that way - there’s no real reason for this thing to exist.

I mean - COME ON - who wants to give up the old “warming up the coffee” excuse to walk past the office hot chick’s cubicle?

…you know you do it.

Creative is making great leaps with their audio players. Today they have revealed the Zen Krystal…which is the coolest tiny audio player I’ve ever seen. It has a very sleek black look to it (think of something the size of an iPod Shuffle, that looked kind of like an iPod Touch), including a blue OLED display.

The device has an FM tuner built-in, MP3 and WMA support, 4Gbs of storage, and a pedometer, giving it Nike+ like functionality. This is a very impressive little guy. Unfortunately we don’t know exactly what it will cost yet, or even if we’ll get it in the United States, but if we do - Creative may have a “Shuffle Killer” on their hands.

And that’s coming from a Mac guy.

Samsung is billing their new TL34HD as the “most advanced point-and-shoot digital camera in their history”. It features 14.7 megapixels, a 3 inch touch screen LCD, and a Schneider lens with a 28mm wide-angle focal length and 3.6x optical zoom. It can even shoot 720 HD video at 30 fps.

Expect to see it this fall for $330.

Andrée Putman designed a digital photo frame that was showcased in the UK earlier this year according to Engadget. Now, it looks like the fine folks at Parrot want to bring this bad boy states side…for only $450.

The device features a 7-inch 720×480 resolution display, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, an undisclosed amount of internal memory, USB connectivity, an SD/MMC card slot.

It ships on July 28th, so place your orders now.

SanDisk today announced something they’ve been working on for quite a while the Write Once, Read Many (also known as WORM) SD Card.

This card is aimed at industries where unalterable content is important. Like for electronic voting or a police investigation. San Disk claims there is no way to alter or delete the files on the card, but we’ll see how long it takes the hacking community to prove that wrong.

The unit has a 100 year archive life. Only 128mb versions are available now, but there will be models with larger capacity in the future according to Engadget. Currently, San Disk is not revealing the price to the public, so you’ll have to contact them to find out how much these little puppies are going to set you back.
