Street Fighter Joystick Cellphone Straps   With Real Voice Action!

The popular Japanese phone strap retailer StrapyaNext started accepting pre-orders in Japan and US for one of the the coolest cell phone accessories around aka Street Fighter Joystick Cellphone Straps. These limited edition tiny Joy joysticks comes in four in four different versions- Ryu, Ken, Dhalsim, and Chun Li versions, play Street Fighter IV voice clips in response to the correct button command. I am a huge fan of the street fighter series and still play the original and also street fighter 4 with my buddies now and then. Only 1,000  each of these limited edition Joystick will be made making it a must have collectors item. These bad boys will be sold at the Ikebukuro Tokyu Hands shop, and at the Tokyo Game Show, for ¥1,260 ($13). Its a bad news for me though I can’t get my hands on these one. These tiny joysticks can play Street Fighter IV voice clips in response to the correct button command. For example, if you input down, right, and punch on the Ryu Real Voice Action Cell Phone Strap, it will play “Hadouken!” as shown in the clip below.

Dell’s unveils The Nickelodeon Inspiron Mini, 4 the kid within you

Dell is making news again with the official unveiling of the lastest Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition netbook PC especially designed for kids and the kid within you. Dell and Nickelodeon have teamed up and the final result is what we see in the pics below. Stocked with an Atom N270 processor (could have been better), 1GB RAM, up to 160GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch LCD display, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 1.3 Megapixel webcam (the kids are gonna like it but parents won’t), the hardware configuration suggests that it is built around the Mini 10v’s. Notebook is designed to look like it has been slimed which gives it a nicer fell to it. The price is unknown till now, but we can assume that it’ll very close Mini 10v’s $300 as both comes with the same hardware inside. apart from the fancy pint-job. Security wise it will come with a load of parental controls options thanks to a 15 month trial version of McAfee and bundled too will be a handfull of educational applications targeted especially at the kids. The best thing about this notebook is that it weighs only 3 pounds, making it one of the lightest notebooks around and thus the kids will easily be able to carry it with them around anywhere. The Nickelodeon Inspiron hits Dell’s online stores and other (stores) sometime in October later this year.

Water proof your iphone with new waterproof pouch from Sanwa

Recently Sanwa released the 200-PDA016, their so called waterproof pouch for iPhone 3G and 3GS. The pouch will let you work with your iPhone up to 30 minutes under 1m of water maximum, which seems pretty decent said that I had my fare share of experiences of dropping my phones in water every now and then. This waterproof pouch could come handy for your outdoor camping trips. But the waterproof pouch is one of the most ugliest that i have ever seen and belive me once you put iPhone inside the pouch you won’t even recognize your phone any more. My suggestion is to get a waterproof phone rather than put your iphone iPhone in this lord ugly pouch.
