Stopwatches are fine if you’re timing simple stuff. But when it comes to interval training or multi-exercise workout routines you really need a dedicated interval timer. This allows you to set a work interval, plus a rest interval, of two different times. Look no further then the Gymboss. Hit Amazon to save a few bucks. I personally went with the new slightly ‘rubberized’ version which is a bit more durable then the standard plastic shell.

Though still unofficial, the soon-to-be-released Olympus EP-1 looks cool as hell. Jump in the wayback machine for a micro four thirds platform digital camera from Olympus. It sports a 12.3-megapixel sensor which should yield image quality of a bulkier DSLR. Interchangable lenses set this bad boy apart from other point and shoot platform cameras.

Best of all is the retro styling. Us photographers who remember shooting film cameras of the same shape and size will relive those fine film days, and probably fool a few old-timers and newbie shooters alike. It looks brilliant and we can wait to shoot it. Oh and HD video as well. Sweet.

As a childhood jet junkie I could think of nothing cooler than living inside a 747. As an adult, it doesn’t hold quite the same allure, but, building a house out of a scrapped 747 – that might be cool. A women in Malibu, CA is building a $2 million ‘green’ house out of a reclaimed 747. She paid just $40K for the jet and hired some green experts to build it out. Check it out.

As any real gadget fanatic knows – you’ve got to do your research. To many features, too many brands. How the hell do you know what to buy? Personally I research the hell of everything. Here’s a new site worth hitting the next time you go to buy. TestFreaks.com. They’ve got a ton product categories with scored product reviews, plus user feedback and forums. Pretty awesome for finding out if that new Wii game sucks before you own it.

Stop the speculation, the wait is over. Just about a year to the date of the original iPhone launch, Apple, Inc. has taken the wraps off the iPhone 3G. The new iPhone 3G is even thinner than the previous model. As expected, the iPhone 3G includes support for the faster 3G network, GPS, with an all new black plastic back. The biggest surprise might be the battery life. The iPhone 3G has 300 hours of standby, 5 hours of 3G talk (8-10 hours of 2G talk), 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. Very impressive from a 3G phone.

The original iPhone changed the conception of what a mobile phone can do for you. In much the same way that Blackberry changed how business people used their phones, the iPhone has altered the definition of a phone. Sure, people could surf the internet and check email before the iPhone, but Apple made it easy and fun. Now, Apple has the complete mobile package; a phone, GPS, email, internet, 3G and the interface that ties it all together. Add in the App Store and you have a phone that is very hard to compete against.

After selling over 6 million first generation iPhones, Apple hopes the new iPhone 3G will sell that many by years end. And at $199 for the 8 GB version and $299 for a 16 GB (with a White back as an option) these will fly off the shelves.
