Nixon Pumps up Headphone Line

Luxury watchmaker Nixon will soon join the fray of companies offering fashionable, high-end headphones when it launches its own new line in December. The company announced three brand new models to establish the line last week.

Nixon’s headphones will consist of the MasterBlaster, an over-ear studio headphone, the Nomadic, an on-ear travel headphone, and the Wire, an in-ear headphone. True to the company’s watch-making legacy, all three models will feature prominent stainless steel highlights, and come in a variety of colors.

Gateway

Gateway has taken the wraps off its new MC notebook series. With a 16-inch edge-to-edge WXGA glass widescreen display, ATI graphics, HDMI output, and reasonable price tags, the MCs want to be the entertainment notebook of choice for the upcoming holiday buying season.

“Gateway’s new MC-Series notebook PC line delivers an immersive entertainment experience by combining the latest in technology with features that are easy to use and give customers quick access to their digital media,” said Gateway senior product manager Ray Sawall, in a statement. “Plus, the MC-Series was inspired by modern automotive design, so it has an elegant, modern look and feel that is both subtle and distinctive.”

Samsung Spins Out Compact External Drives

Samsung Spins Out Compact External Drives

Adding to its extensive line of hard disks, Samsung launched a new line on Wednesday with a focus on compact size and style. The 2.5-inch S2 Portable and 1.8-inch S1 Mini will offer USB connectivity, a professional look, and sizes of up to 500GB and 160GB, respectively.

Samsung has wrapped the drives in a high-gloss plastic casing that will come in piano black, snow white, wine red, and chocolate brown, all of which also come with a leather back cover. To keep size down, the USB controller has been integrated into the actual drives, giving the S1 Mini the footprint as small as a credit card.

Line Rider to Debut on iPhone, iPod Touch

Line Rider to Debut on iPhone, iPod Touch

One of the Web’s hottest time-sapping video games is making the transition to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Line Rider, which is already slated for an appearance on the Nintendo Wii and DS with Line Rider 2: Unbound, will also be ported to Apple’s most popular platforms this month.

The iPhone and iPod Touch versions of Line Rider will allow players to sketch out tracks for a virtual sled rider, much as they did with a mouse in the original Web version of the game that debuted in September 2006.  It will also include a “movie” mode for players to record tracks, and upload feature to share them with others online.

Dell Unveils Studio Notebook Line

Dell has at least lifted the veil on its Studio line of notebook computers, a new line of 15- and 17-inch notebooks aimed at folks who want to take their high-definition entertainment, computing, communications—and creativity—with them wherever they go. Available in a wide range of configurations, the Studio line features up to Intel Core 2 Duo processors, an integrated Web cam, a new Dell Dock designed to keep applications organized, and an optional Blu-ray drive—plus, they’re available in a wide range of colors, from flamingo pink to jet black.

Mio Moovs Out Four New GPS Units

Further expanding upon its already extensive line of navigation products, Mio Technology released four new GPS units under the Moov banner on Monday, completely updating its line for the spring. All of the devices feature retooled user interfaces made possible by Mio’s acquisition of Navman, and sticking with the company’s budget reputation, none will sell for more than $250.

Lenovo Outsourcing Notebook Production?

Lenovo Outsourcing Notebook Production?

In an unusual move, China-based Lenovo—which took over IBM’s ThinkPad line a few years ago—has apparently announced it will be outsourcing production of all its notebooks to trusted manufacturers, rather than producing the systems itself in China. The unusual twist: those trusted notebook manufacturers are in Taiwan.

Traditional wisdom holds that the cheaper Chinese labor market would make it more cost-efficient for Lenovo to keep its manufacturing in mainland China. However, according to Taiwanese media, Lenovo feels that shifting manufacturing to Taiwan will save on inventory costs and shorten delivery times to market, as well as save on labor costs.

Cambridge SoundWorks Debuts Newton II

Cambridge SoundWorks followed up its well-received Newton HD speakers with a sequel line on Wednesday, the Newton Series II. The company claims it massaged the original speakers with new materials, refinements, and updated aesthetics.

Rather than using paper or plastic for the Newton II woofers, Cambridge SoundWorks reached into the exotic materials pile and came up with Kevlar, which it claims produces a stiff, light cone that operates over a wider range with less distortion and more midrange articulation. The company also substituted aluminum for plastic on the new dome tweeters, which supposedly produces a higher level of detail. All of the new speakers can be finished in either midnight black satin or cherry.

LaCie Revs Up Porsche Mobile Hard Drives

LaCie Revs Up Porsche Mobile Hard Drives

Peripheral and accessory maker LaCie has revved up its line of mobile hard drives designed by Porsche Design GmbH to capacities of 250 GB, meaning the line now spans capacities from 80 to 250 GB and price ranges from $105 to $270.

The drives weigh less than a deck of cards and come in a small, sleek case that can easily slip into a shirt pocket. Catering to mobile users and folks who rely on portability, the mobile hard drives sport both USB 2.0 and FireWire interfaces and draw power off the connection bus, so no external power adapter is necessary. Rubber feet underneath mean the drives can be stacked securely.

HP Showcases the Future of PC Gaming

Wednesday evening I attended the first coming out party for HP and Voodoo PC. I don’t think anyone imagined what the combination of Voodoo and HP would create. Voodoo came in, took one look at HP’s labs and went insane. They started pillaging this massive repository of HP technology with the goal of doing something amazing and moving the gaming industry ahead 5 or 10 years in one big step; and they actually might do that.
