The Wow Wee Bladstar Flame Indoor Flyer [1] has built in sensor detection to help it avoid obstacles.The HTC Touch 3G site is live, but hidden. It certainly wants to be an iPhone killer with touch and zoom features. You can also shoot video with the 3.2 megapixel camera. If the site is still playing hard to find when you read this, click here. [2] Crave underwent a site redesign [3], and today they posted a link to TechRadar.com's Ultimate Guide to Motherboards [4].

Seagate announced their Fall 2008 Lineup of FreeAgent [5] external hard drives. The Go Portable is supposed to be the slimmest external drive available. The Free Agent Desk Drive is for Macs, and comes in 500GB, 1TB or 1.5TB. The Expressionist BASS [6] speakers are cone shaped, stereo speakers with 4" subwoofers. I blogged yesterday welcoming new viewers [7]. Click on the BBC featured GeekBrief.TV on their show. We're honored.
