iHome has announced two new models for its range of iPod/iPhone docking sound stations at CES 2010.

Firstly, the iP2 is an all around docking sound station with an audio setup based on Bongiovi technology with a 50-watt bi-amp and video-out jack. It is due for a 2010 summer release at $199.

Next up is the iP39, a docking sound system fit for the kitchen. The docking station includes features such as a kitchen timer, FM tuner and alarm clock. Having the iPod or iPhone docked in the kitchen makes it convenient to listen to cooking podcasts and online cooking instructions via apps and online guides. As for the iP39, it is slated for a spring 2010 release at a price of $99.

The Google Nexus One mobile smartphone has been officially announced by Google. The Nexus One’s initial launch locations are in US, UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong starting from January 5th, 2010 with more operators to follow in the future.

The Nexus One mobile phone runs on the Android platform powered by a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor and 512MB RAM. Camera is rated at 5 megapixels with autofocus and 2X digital zoom. Display is a 3.7 touchscreen AMOLED with a resolution of 800×480 pixels. Internet connectivity via HSDPA 7.2Mbps and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) running on GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) cellular networks.

It’s also equipped with an AGPS receiver, a digital compass and accelerometer, and the best thing is that you’ll be sure they will work with Google’s suite of online apps that are indispensable to most people now.

The Google Nexus One mobile smartphone retails for $529 without a telco plan and ships to continental US locations for free.

This is one amazing home made War Machine suit costume built by Masterle247 of Superherohype forums. With Iron Man 2 coming around the corner, this will definitely be the talk of fans around.

The War Machine suit is so awesome it’ll get you the ladies without even trying.

If you love the iPod touch to the point you have to take it to bed with you, this is one item you should not miss; an iPod touch bed cover! The iPod Touch bed cover set comes with a matching pillow case and duvet cover.

Now if this iPod Touch pillow case set came with an internal docking system and speakers it will be even more awesome. $49, Ellos.

This is a box with a switch. You may think flipping the switch makes it do something but what it’s going to perform is a completely useless action. So much so that it completely boggles the mind as to why it was made in the first place.

Why? Why? Why?

Watch the video to see what it does.

Instead of cooking a nice pot of rice, this miniature rice cooker is actually a USB speaker. Looks like an interesting music accessory for rice-loving techies. Available in white and black. $15, USB Geek.

Features:

No one likes a pack of cup noodles undercooked or too soggy so here’s a neat little Japanese gadget that holds the lid down and also lets you know that the noodles are ready to be eaten.

Simply pour hot water into the cup noodles, then place Cupman on the lid of the cup and wait until he loses his color. Once Cupman turns completely white, you’ll know it’s time to savor that tasty cup of instant noodles. 840 yen, AssistOn.

This claw machine or UFO catcher seen in Japan isn’t made differently from other machines, except that its contents meant to be prizes are really unusual. Instead of soft toys or candy, they are actual living crabs in a pool of water!

The fate of the crab if you happen to catch it depends on yourself. I’d probably get it cooked for a nice dinner.

The second episode of Modern Warfare 2 Mythbusters has been released. This time can a banana leaf actually prevent a frag, or whether wielding a care package marker makes your character run faster? Find out in the video.

Interesting mod of the motorcycle sidecar by Henrik Toth made of a World War II German fighter fuselage. It still looks cool without wings, but I wonder whether it’s street legal or not.
