Another amazing product by Russian design firm Art.Lebedev. Unfortunately it’s only a concept right now.

With Kevlar reinforced cables, a dual micro armature with separate tweeter and woofer for increased range and fidelity and a stainless steel housing with noise isolating silicone sleeves (yeah, these are pretty high-tech. headphones), Nocs’ NS800 Stainless Steel Earphones put Apple’s stock earbuds to shame, never mind much of Sennheiser or Bose’s models.

To say I don’t like 3-D is a remarkable understatement. Why then, do I want nothing more than to run down to the shops and buy Sony’s new Handycam HDR-TD10 3D Camcorder? With a pair each of Exmor R CMOS sensors and BIONZ image processors, never mind 64GB of internal flash memory abdOptical SteadyShot image stabilisation, it’ll shoot full 1080p video in 3-D thanks to the dual Sony G lenses and even offers a 10x optical zoom. The $1,500 pricetag isn’t even that off-putting.

In all black, brushed metal, flash drives shouldn’t look this good. The Iomega SSD Flash Drive can pack up to 256GB though too, with some pretty zippy read and write speeds and 256-bit hardware encryption. And USB 3.0.

With the launch of the iPod Nano a few months ago, a strange has started amongst accessory manufacturers, but it looks like it might just have some legs. Given it’s tiny size, the obvious given ability to play music, oh, and clock face, it’s pretty much the perfect watch, colour touch screen and all. If you can get over the annoyance of needing to press a button to wake up the screen, the iPod Nano sure makes one cool make-shift watch for your wrist, Hex’s Watch Band completing the deal.

I’m not quite sure how Leica can justify the limited edition M9’s $12,950 (yes, $12,950), ostrich leather and all, but it sure is one good looking camera. It comes packing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, so that takes a slim chunk out of the hefty pricetag, while they’re hoping a run of only 50 pieces will seal the deal.

We like Hard Graft, a lot, so it was probably quite likely that we’d love their X-Series cases too. Updating their MacBook, iPad, Kindle and iPhone line-up, if you’ve got a bunch of gadgets, completing the Hard Graft case set might prove a little costly, but they’ll certainly look the part.

The new Flip Video Sony Bloggie Touch at last puts another mainstay into the point-and-shoot camcorder field. Sleeker and more stylish than the Flip Videos, the Bloggie Touch, unsurprisingly, features a full touch screen, plus 1080p video recording and a 12.8MP sensor. It’s got a flip out USB drive too.
