Like the Chumby, I'm not totally sure that the Pure Sensia is meant as a clock radio. But I don't know what the hell else you'd use it for, and it'd be pretty sweet to wake up to.

Pure mainly focuses on internet radio, releasing little docks and speaker sets and that kind of thing, but this is their first effort with a touchscreen and it definitely looks to best the Chumby One (though not the sorta similar iLuv App Station) in the specs department. It's got a 5.7-inch capacitive glass touchscreen (the Chumby's got a 3.5-inch resistive), a 30W sound system (Chumby's only packing a paltry 2W) and offers weather, Facebook and Twitter apps, with "more to come."

Now here's the part where Chumby kicks the Sensia's ass: The Sensia is far bigger, like dominate-your-bedside-table big; its design is, at best, inoffensive, while the Chumby is damned adorable; it's got no homebrew community to hack away and make it a great gadget, let alone a huge repository of fun approved apps; and most importantly, it's $350 to the Chumby's $100. $350 is super expensive for a clock radio, or a bedside boombox or whatever you'd call this thing. Availability has yet to be announced. [Pure]

The Eye-Fi is an SD card that adds Wi-Fi uploads to any camera. Their latest flagship, the Pro X2, is pretty similar to old Eye-Fis, but it's faster and even a bit smarter, too.

The 8GB SD card has equally fast read/write speeds to older models (class 6, for the savvy comparison shopper), but uploading should be significantly faster on supported networks, thanks to 802.11n.

But honestly, the more enticing feature may be Endless Memory.

Endless Memory allows you to pretty much fill the 8GB card to its max, but if you run out of space, the card can automatically delete photos from the card that have already been uploaded safely to the cloud, eliminating the need to dig through your camera storage and guess what's been uploaded. Plus, you can choose how much of a storage buffer you'd like to leave at all times, in case you're away from a Wi-Fi connection for a while.

It all seems pretty handy, but for $150 (starting today), it'd better be.

Eye-Fi Pro X2: The Most Advanced Memory Card on the Market

Eye-Fi re-engineered its platform and designed Arcturus – the proprietary chip at the heart of the Eye-Fi Pro X2 that enables the fastest wireless uploads to date. With the 8GB Pro X2, users will experience:

· Class 6 performance for faster read/write speeds

· For the first time, an 802.11n radio and a redesigned antenna for faster photo and video uploads and increased Wi-Fi range

· Endless Memory (*see below for details)

· 8GB storage

· Wireless JPEG, RAW and video uploads direct to a home computer and the Web

· Ad hoc connectivity to upload when not in range of a wireless router

· Hotspot access to upload away from home at more than 10,000 locations in the US

· Automatic geotagging

The Eye-Fi Pro X2 will be available for pre-order on http://www.eye.fi and select online retailers including Amazon for $149.99 beginning January 5.

Eye-Fi Center: Send photos and videos to multiple locations

Eye-Fi will also introduce a new desktop application that replaces Eye-Fi's Web based application for managing your Eye-Fi card and experience. The new Eye-Fi Center will offer all users:

· The ability to easily select and publish photos and videos to different online locations – no more limitations on where photos can be shared

· Drag and drop capabilities so users can easily import any photos and videos into the Eye-Fi experience for easier sharing (even those memories not uploaded with Eye-Fi)

· The ability to access some features even when not connected to the Internet – such as adding a wireless network

· A redesigned interface for easier navigation

Eye-Fi Center will be available for download on January 5 for all users.

Endless Memory: You'll always have room on your card for more memories

The Eye-Fi Pro X2 will offer Endless Memory mode, so users can choose to have Eye-Fi automatically make space available on the card once photos have been safely uploaded.

· The card communicates with the Eye-Fi Service, so that it knows when photos and videos are safely delivered to the user's computer and/or online sharing site. Then, the card can remove files that have been safely delivered, beginning with the oldest.

· Users can select how much free space they want to reserve on the card.

· If files have not yet been uploaded, the Pro X2 will not remove them.

Thank God for USB 3.0. I was getting really tired of staring at the progress bar for seconds (seconds!) while my shit transfers. WD just announced their first MyBook external drive with 3.0, and it looks great.

The MyBook 3.0 drive is available in either a 1TB or 2TB capacity, and in either a drive-only or a kit that includes a USB 3.0 card (since, you know, not very many people have one of those yet). They're surprisingly affordable, really—the 1TB drive is $180, and the kit adds another $20, while the 2TB drive's (and kit's) price has yet to be announced. Both drives are capable of getting 5Gb/s speeds, which is significantly faster than USB 2.0 (around 5-10 times faster). It's backwards compatible with USB 2.0, so no worries about attaching it to older hardware if need be. The 1TB drive is available now, and the 2TB should come later this month. [WD]

Hookai. So. The Samurai Air Sword is really an iPhone in disguise. It doesn't come with touchscreen, CPU, multimedia processor, memory, GPS, or compass. But it has a gyroscope and runs a clone of the only iPhone application that matters.

The Lightsaber app! Except it's not really an app, and this is better: It makes 48 swooshabolous sound effects while you move it up in the air using a motion sensor. So screw the web browser, the mail, the stupid touchscreen, and all that fancy crap. For $18 and two AAA batteries, this thing does exactly what you need it to do. [Happinet via IT Media via DVICE]
