Creative Zen now with 32GB

Creative Zen 32GB

Creative Asia announced the 32GB Zen yesterday and besides the obvious excellent storage capabilities it comes with a nice price tag as well; about $378. Cheap? Yes indeed. After all, you do get a credit card sized PMP with 30 hours of music playback (mp3, aac, wma), video (DivX, XviD, WMV, AVI, MPEG4 etc), photos, a 2.5" TFT display and a expansion SD slot.

There’s no word on when the 32GB model will be available globally, but the North American site does include it in the model dropdown (with an ‘out of stock’ mark), hopefully meaning it’ll be available soon.

The Voice-Activated R2-D2

The Voice-Activated R2-D2

This motorized replica of R2-D2 stands 15" tall (about 38cm), responds to 40 different voice commands (like “Turn around!” and “Move forward!”) while being able to navigate rooms and hallways. It’s equipped with an infra-red sensor so he can play games like tag and find you, follow you around or just act as a guard and let you know whenever someone enters the room.

Besides being able to replay sounds from the Star Wars movies and answer yes/no questions it features a rotating top and distinct moods, just like the original. If he goes sad you just need to say “R2, behave yourself” to make him snap right out if it. Hopefully.

Tomy’s i-SOBOT is listed in the Guinness book of World Records as the “smallest humanoid robot in production” (and what makes a humanoid? Its own MySpace page of course).

It’s gifted with 17 servo-motors, 19 circuit ships, a built-in gyro-sensor, two LEDs, 90 sound effects, 5 songs, voice command recognition and can speak hundreds of words and phrases and perform preprogrammed actions like walking, dancing, martial arts(!), pushups, soccer and such.

The Japanese version is white and the US model is black and it’ll start shipping in October 2007.

Sony Rolly Entertainment Player

Sony Rolly SEP-10BT Sound Entertainment Player

Sony Rolly sure is an odd product and there’s been quite a few rumors about it ever since the first video emerged. Part Aibo, part MP3 player this rolling, Bluetooth-enabled robot sports 20mm active speakers (1.2Wx2) and its sole purpose is to roll around on your floor while playing your favorite music and showing off with its ambient blue/green/orange LED lights.

There’s 1GB of built-in Flash memory and if you’re a control freak you’ll probably enjoy the bundled motion editor software.
