Archos 704 looks so appealing, it has a nice screen, a big hard drive, and it just plays your media. Really, it doesn’t try to be a cell phone, gaming platform, or anything else you don’t want it to be. The 704 sports a beautiful 800 x 740 7″ screen. Oh, and it’s also touch sensitive. Even those, err, bigger people, with bigger fingers can use this. Pretty much any video you throw at it can be played, however DivX and Xvid are not supported. You can chose either the 40 GB or the 80 GB version, which should be enough for a good selection of video and any pictures or music you want with you. The 704 even has wi-fi, which will allow you some basic browsing, but I imagine that’s a pretty crappy experience. What is cool though is the fact that you can access files on your home network or read mail from mobile versions of various webmail applications (I know Gmail and Yahoo! offer them). There are plenty more features packed into the Archos 704; it’s truly a multimedia powerhouse.

The Logisys optical finger mouse is a little mouse that you strap on your index finger and as you move your finger around, the cursor on the screen will also move. The right and left click buttons along with the scroll wheel is accessible via your thumb. Being a 800 dpi mouse, it is a pretty standard mouse in terms of cursor action, unless you like those Logitech gaming mouse that peaks you up in the thousands of dpis. The real great aspect of this mouse is no doubt the fact that you require a minimal amount of surface space, enabling you to do some free cursor movement in places like a laptop, which is where it will probably work better than the touch pads.

Playstation 2 gamers, keep your rumble and add some motion control to your existing games. Gameware's SplitFish MotionFX Adapter for the PS2's Dualshock controller adds motion control gameplay on your PS2. The MotionFX controller allows you to keep the familiar feel of the PS2 controller by clipping a motion adapter to the face of the Dualshock controller. A long extension/adapter interfaces between your PS2 controller and the PS2 console. Press the black button at the base of the motion "fin" to activate the motion controls at any point during the game (which you will want to turn off during menus!). A pretty cool looking light indicator shows you the motion sensor is active and tracking your movements.

The Hori Sony PS3 Fighting Stick gives you arcade machine gaming feeling on the Sony PS3. The controller connects via USB and features slow, fast and turbo settings and a SIXAXIS home button. The Fighting Stick 3 connects to the PlayStation 3's USB ports, which means it isn't wireless like your dear Sixaxis controllers. The cord is about ten feet (three meters) long though, which is for most purposes plenty of length. The stick has considerable heft and rubber feet, both of which work to hold the controller firmly in place on hard, flat surfaces. We have a tendency to be a bit violent with arcade sticks but had no problem with the Fighting Stick 3 moving under our mighty force.
Build quality on the stick is similarly impressive. The Fighting Stick 3 has a metal base and plastic outer shell with smooth corners that don't murder your wrists (unlike some other sticks we've used). The buttons are all snappy and convex, like you'd find in a well-maintained arcade, and the stick is tight but light. That's good. All PlayStation 3 buttons are accounted for, including L3 and R3, save for the Sixaxis analog sticks. There's even a turbo function with three different speed settings you can toy with, if that sort of thing matters to you.

Palaroid Company has invented a new way to print pictures. Now their printers do not use ink to print. These printing gadgets can be built into phones or digital cameras. The product will appear on market in the end of year 2007. The principle of work is very simple; the paper is changing its color when heat is applied. So applying certain amount of heat will make the piece of paper change color to a specific one. You will not have to have liquid ink cartridges in your printer.
