Samsung Anycall Theater

anycall_theater.jpg imageIt's great to be back in New York. Every time I leave, I come back to a city that is a little bit more my home than before. Since I've got a lot of catching up to do today (not nearly as much if Brendan Koerner hadn't kept things in check last week, though!) expect quite a few short clean up posts. I'm sure you'll be able to live without my erudite insights into the latest leather cell phone case or whatever.

Inaugurally, this Samsung 'Anycall Theater' is a speaker dock designed to let you use your Samsung phone as a stereo (practical) or television (arrr, squinty).

Gundam Guitar II: Heat Hawk

heat_axe.jpg imageApparently the same company that made the Gundam Gun Guitar that I saw in Akihabara also makes this 'Heat Hawk' version in the shape of an axe used by Gundam Zaku. My buddy Scott Rowan writes:

They are/were manufactured by a company called Banpresto (http://www.banpresto.co.jp/) and released in 2002. The guitars have an internal amp and speaker. Pulling the trigger plays back one of 3 Gundam sound effects. Couldn't find any info on whether the magazine does anything. 1 metre length, 3.5 kg weight, battery powered.

I think I'm going to spring for the Gun Guitar. I'll just use that stupid money I was going to use for taxes.
