Monster just announced a new line of headphones named after noted songsmith Sean Diddy "Sean Puffy Puff Puff Daddy" P. Diddy Combs, this time as earbuds rather than the over-the-ear Dr. Dre Beats headphones.
Like Dr. Dre and Lady Gaga before him, Diddy has designed his own audio ware, with leather-wrapped earbuds in a variety of colors (including pink, for the ladies (in his Mercedes)). Availability and pricing are still to be announced, but given the past prices of the admittedly excellent but also incredibly expensive Beats line, the earbuds might, in fact, be all about the Benjamins.

When I have nothing better to do, I love killing a few minutes with music maker apps such as Melodica or Band on my iPod touch. From the looks of it, I might have to add Looptastic to the arsenal.
Looptastic is a weird app that takes parts of DJ apps such as Ableton or Traktor, parts of production apps such as Reason, and throws a Korg Kaoss pad in for good measure. The final result: a casual noisemaker that lets you intuitively hack together a loop-based mix in rapid fashion.
The core of the app is built around a collection of sample loops that you string together to build a beat. From there you can sequence those loops and throw effects on top with the X-Y effects pad. The app starts at $5 bundled with a single style of music, but there's also a $10 version and will soon be a $15 version that will let you import your own music. Nice. [Sound Trends via CrunchGear]

With digital content becoming more prevalent, some of us want to directly link our computers to our TVs quickly and easily. But we don't all have a dedicated HTPC to make life simple. Enter Netgear's Push2TV wireless display adapter.
Netgear's solution involves the use of a box which picks up a signal from your laptop and feeds your desktop to the TV via HDMI, eliminating the need for your lappy to be tethered to your entertainment center. The only downside is that it requires an Intel-based computer with Wireless Display technology built in.
Push2TV will be available this month, bundled with select laptops at Best Buy, or sold separately for $100. Dongle plz? [Netgear]

Dave Zatz got an early peek at Monsoon's new video placeshifter, the Volcano, and was pleasantly surprised by its feature set, which combines the functionality of a Slingbox with that of a Slingcatcher. Oh, reeaaaallly?
The Volcano can stream media from any TV or video source at 720p to PCs and cellphones, including the Android, WinMo, Blackberry and iPhone platforms. It can also playback local media via USB using the UPnP and DLNA standards, web video via YouTube and Cinema Now, plus it can off load shows from your settop box for later viewing/streaming.
But where it starts to get cool is how if you have more than one Volcano in your house, they can all stream to eachother, thanks to 802.11n and UPNP, which is nice if some rooms have a TV, but no cable connection. Zatz says the tech is still a bit unpolished, but calls it promising nonetheless. The Volcano is scheduled for a March release, and you can either get a model with 4 gigs of flash storage for $200, or one with a 250 gig HDD for $300.

Vizio's conceptual (but candidate for release) headphones have an LCD on both earpiece that can display a visualizer, album art, or picture of your cat, because the people around you really need to be subjected to that.
The headphones will be Bluetooth-enabled, so no cords muck up your affront to style. We don't know anything like pricing or availability, since they're still in the concept stage, but they're totally functional and may well see release. [Vizio]
With a 7" screen and a book-like form factor, the Album2 is well suited for sharing your digital files in a non-digital setting. It was satisfying to hold, simple to navigate and kept the emphasis on content.
Instead of audio, video, and images, the Album2 sorts your media in terms of the actions "Watch," "Look," and "Listen." But it doesn't seem like it's dumbing things down as much as it is simplifying them: the Album2 achieves a delicate balance between being a technically competent media viewer and a device that lets people enjoy their digital content without worrying about the device displaying it.
You can throw pictures, video, or audio in all the common formats onto the Album2's 4GB HD via USB or SD, or access content from Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and other big name sites via WiFi. The three simple buttons on the right side of the viewer were the only controls, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone who couldn't figure out the UI right away.
A leather cover attaches magnetically to the back of the Album2 and folds over as a stand, letting you rest the viewer on table like a digital photo frame. Whether standing on its own or being passed between friends, it's nice to see a gadget that is focused on fostering physical interaction based on the digital media we collect.
The Album2 will be available in Q2 2010 with a pricetag of $199. [Album Life]
Since Vizio is making their new 3D TVs internet-ready, they've made it easier to do things like type in web addresses and searches with this pretty awesome new remote. It's the next best thing from a touchscreen remote.

No major companies are quite ready to bring a proper Android tablet to market, but they're edging closer. When they do, they could do worse than turn out something like this 7-inch, Tegra 2 design from Compal.
Under the hood is Nvidia's newest Tegra, which guarantees snappy interface, video and graphics performance in theory. In practice, at least on this early device which can't leverage the new graphics acceleration in Android 2.1, menu transitions are still a little slow, browser scrolling isn't instant, and the responsiveness of the touch keyboard poor enough to make typing a genuine pain in the ass. But wait wait wait—that's a software optimization issue, which can almost definitely be fixed. What about the concept?
The Archos 5 Android tablet, had its issues, from lack of 3G support to inability to play Flash content, both of which have been remedied here—this Compal has a SIM tray as well as Flash 10.1 support. A shipped product would be faster than the Archos, and the extra two inches of screen are just enough to make this feel like a tablet, not an oversized smartphone. And to be honest, I could get into this.
It's a sofa tablet, a toilet tablet, a Skype tablet, whatever—there's a market for this, at the right price. The only serious issue now is that typing on the onscreen keyboard is almost impossible on a 7-inch screen, unless your thumbs are freakishly long. I have no idea how Google—or Apple, for that matter—could solve this problem. But someone might! And that would be great.
