Got wood? Yamaha does. Yamaha Japan announced the TSX-120 and TSX-130 iPod docks, both with a soft wood finish. The TSX-130 seen above comes with USB connectors and a CD-drive which supports playback and recording. Shared features on these units include an amplifier output of 15W × 2ch, 2 x eight cms speakers, frequency response of 60Hz ~ 20kHz, FM tuner and remote control.
Sure, nothing new here, but look, wood! They may match your style and even if they don’t, they’re bound to match that Atari you have lying around.These should hit Japanese stores in early December if you want one for X-mas. The TSX-120 will sell for about$ 300, while the TSX-130 will be about $ 400.

So you’re looking for a gift for your uncle Fester, but a normal run of the mill flash drive just won’t cut it. You need something more specific, something morbid, something dead and void of flesh, not to mention separated from it’s body. This 2GB USB 2.0 compliant flash memory shaped like a human skull might be just the thing. For a normal user, it might look odd to have a skull sticking out of a USB socket, unless it’s Halloween, but with your family it will fit right in with the cobwebs and coffins. Only $19. Maybe give it a little wig or something.

It's been a while since we heard about the i907 and the last time we checked, it had just cleared the FCC and was biding its time to join the other QWERTY-equipped business phones on AT&T. Now, after almost three months of waiting, AT&T has confirmed that the Samsung i907, now called Epix, will be available on its network giving its customers one more choice from the Samsung camp other than the Blackjacks if they were looking for a QWERTY-boasting smartphone. Clearly based on the i780, Epix can do HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, a 3-megapixel cam, and memory expansion running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. $200 and a two-year lockdown is all that's needed to make this baby yours.

The LG KC910, or the Renoir, is finally available in Europe. Asia and Latin America will follow in November. Africa and the Middle East are next in December while China will get it in January. Something seems to be missing wouldn't you say?
Here are the official features of the Renoir:
- Wi-Fi
- A-GPS
- 3G via HSDPA
- 8 megapixel camera
- DivX video and Dolby sound
- 3 inch, 240 x 400 touchscreen display
- 3.95 mm thick
The Renoir seems to be a worthy adversary. It has lots of camera options like the Touch Shot which lets you tell the camera what it should be focusing on. Not to mention it's the slimmest 8 megapixel cameraphone available so far.
So LG hit me with some prices. And maybe with updated release dates for you know, only the rest of the world?

The ZN4 Krave might be a worthy Motorola phone. And we should have been receiving quite a few of those so far, but Motorola has been busy doing nothing. We don't have all the specs and the kinky features of this ZN4 Krave handset but we'll drop in at any given time to tell you what's what once Verzion will officially announce it. The Krave will be available later this month. Better check with your local Verzion Wireless store.
