Sure it’s only 5400RPM, but this little drive from Verbatim is worth noting for more than one reason. It achieves a 500GB capacity through the use of three 166GB platters while maintaining an industry smallest 3.38-inches by 5.38-inches by 0.63-inches casing. If that wasn’t enough, the drive will be available in a USB/FireWire combo version to ensure you can tax those 5400rpms as much as physically possible. The kicker? It will be available for somewhere in the ballpark of $300. Read more at Engadget (Read the full post about ‘Verbatim drops tiny 500GB HDD’…)

Tessera has come up with a brand new camera phone lens technology known as OptiML Zoom, offering up to 3x optical zoom without the need for actual moving parts. This is made possible by combining a new lens design as well as algorithms that replace a standard optical zoom lens’s mechanical functions. Since there are no moving parts to contend with, Tessera’s lens can be manufactured to be smaller and will definitely be more affordable compared to current optical zoom modules. The image above is for illustrative purposes only, and is not the real deal. (Read the full post about ‘OptiML Zoom from Tessera’…)

Suffice it to say Festo’s AirJelly is powered by some magical jelly fish properties, a lithium-ion battery, an electric motor and a bit of helium. If that’s not floaty enough for you, there’s also a water version, AquaJelly. Videos of both are after the break.

If you’ve been holding out for the WiMAX-enabled variant of the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, worry no more. Online retailer Buy.com is apparently offering a discount on the N810 WiMAX, marking down the price to $456 from $479. That’s not what I would call major savings, but hey - go use the $23 you save and buy yourself a nice meal in a restaurant somewhere. (Read the full post about ‘Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition Priced’…)

Looks like the T-Mobile Sidekick is on a sponsoring spree! They’re just finishing up the Grammy Tour (last show in L.A. on Wednesday) and as I was looking for more info on the Tony Hawk Limited Edition Sidekick LX, I found out that they’re also sponsoring Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huckjam this year! The tourdates are up, and if the Grammy tour is any indication of how T-Mobile throws an event, then you’ll want to hit this one up.

I remember a few years ago when cell phone makers began looking to recycle phones for the plastic content. It was about the time it was announced that there is enough raw materials on this planet for another 10-15 years of plastic creation [whatever that means, it’s my understanding plastic comes from petroleum … so, what’s missing?]

Today, there’s a new trend in cell phone recycling: precious metals. There’s gold, silver, copper and several other precious metals inside the chip components that make the cell phones work. They’re introduced during the manufacturing phase to connect circuits, complete wiring, etc.
