Wow. Wow. Wow.

If you like playing with electronics you’ll WANT one of these.

Introducing BugLabs.net’s BUG. Here’s BugLabs’ founder/CEO Peter Semmelhack and marketing guy Jeremy Toeman showing off the devices ind epth.

I filmed three videos there yesterday. If you want to get an idea of what BUG can do, this should about cover it.

Video one, introduction.
Video two, final shipping plastic.
Video three, open hardware.

If you’re a geek you MUST WATCH this series of videos.

By the way, these were filmed with my cell phone, a Nokia N95 (I wasn’t planning on running into Peter, so didn’t have my professional camera with me).

#43: Ultimate Ears to visit Microsoft/Bellevue

Posted in Geek Events, Hardware by Robert Scoble on the November 17, 2005

Ken Levy invited the Ultimate Ears folks to Microsoft’s campus in Redmond tomorrow. They’ll also have an open-to-the-public meeting on Saturday. Ken’s blog has all the details.

These headphones are — by far — the best I’ve ever heard. If you travel a lot you should check them out. I’ve had babies crying next to me in the airplane and with these on you can hardly even hear them. Their top of the line pairs are very expensive at $900 (they are custom made for your ears specifically) but they have a new pair that Ken tells me are almost as good for less than 1/3 the price.

Anyway, you can always drop by and hang out with the geeks in the mall.

Greg Hughes reviews the Xbox 360. They are showing up at Best Buys and other retailers. Here’s his opening words:

HO-LY CRR-AP!!

Okay, so… When Microsoft says the XBOX 360 is a whole new level of gaming machine, they’re serious.

Xbox 360 demoed for first time on Channel 9

Posted in Games, Hardware, Microsoft by Robert Scoble on the October 26, 2005

I snuck into a meeting with the MVPs last month and filmed Larry Hryb showing off the Xbox 360. Gives you a good first look at what it is. I love the reactions of the MVPs. I also filmed a separate video where Larry demonstrated the new Xbox.com.
