Geek Brief TV #340

Apple announced they've surpassed Wal-Mart [1] to become the number-one music retailer in the U.S. They've sold over four-billion songs to over 50-million customers. Sony took the title for the worlds smallest full HD camcorder with the HDR-TG1 Handycam [2]. The Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece [3] looks like jewelry and they MEANT for that to be the case. Blue Lounge has done it again. First, we saw the SpaceStation and now they've introduced The Sanctuary [4]. It's a gadget valet that charges over 1500 different types of electronic devices with 12 built-in connectors and a USB port. A few weeks ago, we talked about the Sofa-side computer called MEdiaCOre from Pearing Systems [5]. Alexander Grundner brought it to our attention and the attention of enough interested buyers to bring the idea back to life. It's creator had kind of lost interest after launching the site and apparently not getting much of a response. Andrew's story, and perhaps ours too, led Adrian to finally bring it to market. Here's the recorded phone call between Andrew and Adrian. Very cool story. Geoff Smith [6] has done it again. He created a pro version of our Drobo song that you won't be about to extract from your brain. So Geoff, thanks a LOT for that! :) Use promo code "CALI" to save $50 off a Drobo at DroboStore.com [7]. More details are here [8]. Links: ------ [1] http://www.apple.com/pr/librar... [2] http://news.sel.sony.com/en/pr... [3] http://www.foxbusiness.com/mar... [4] http://www.bluelounge.com/thes...
