It’s that time of the week! The little email category for neat (or lame) gadgets has reached critical mass:

  • This Sanyo wifi-enabled internet radio is actually pretty awesome. There’s no telling how long devices like this may last given the cost of licensing for streaming music, but it will be a fun ride.
  • What’s 125″ diagonal, curved, 1mm thin, weighs 7.9 pounds and only boasts a 960×360 resolution? Why it’s the Shinoda OLED display.
  • Netbooks are gaining a lot of press lately, so we’re happy to add to the pile with this review of the Acer Aspire One.
  • If you’re not in the mood for the $300 Blackberry Bold released today, maybe you’ll like the Curve 8900. Previously known as the Javelin, it’s a Bold-derived model free of 3G.
  • While eInk is very cool, Sharp has gone one step further to demonstrate an eInk display that can retain its image sans power.
  • Motorola’s ZN25 packs 5 megapixels of creepy, stalker power.
  • The new line of Ventro cases from Asus can be dismantled and arranged for shipping at just a few inches thick.
  • Just $130 will land you Western Digital’s newest HDMI-capable hard drive-based TV streamer. This item is a steal for the price.
  • Asus, still obsessed with diluting their popular Eee name, has released what amounts to a nettop. Weren’t these a bad idea the first time?
