Google’s Literacy Project to get BrainApps
Google just picked up another partner in its Literacy Project, Scientific Learning. Scientific Learning will contribute free videos, lessons and software to the project.  Most interestingly they are bringing “brain fitness exercises” to Google’s Literacy Project via their “BrainApps” program.  BrainApps should help reading skills and mental processes. Two BrainApps available now are “Lunar Tunes” and “Hoop Nut” meant to test your auditory skills.  I tested them out and they seem as if they would be quite engaging to young students.

Magnetic 4-port USB hub: for brazen daredevils only
by Darren Murph, posted Oct 6th 2008 at 3:10AM We know, the minuscule magnets adorned on this 4-port USB hub aren’t technically strong enough to have any severe effect on your data, but seriously, why would you chance it? In what has to be one of the worst ideas in low-end technology to ever grace our eyes, the magnetic 4-port USB hub enables users to stick their hub on any nearby file cabinet, metal plate or refrigerator door, though we can’t figure out why that’s such an awesome benefit.

Garmin announces GPSMAP 640 and 620
Garmin is a well established name when it comes to GPS navigation systems, and the latest in a long line of such devices is the GPSMAP 640. This device is an ultra portable and rugged touch screen navigator that helps you find your way thanks to a comprehensive set of street maps and marine charts that have already been pre-loaded onto the device. In addition to the GPSMAP 620, both devices will target markets outside the United States. More on these new Garmin releases right after the jump. Portable and powerful, the GPSMAP 600 series features a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and boasts an intuitive, waterproof (IPX7) super-bright 5.2” WVGA touchscreen display (800 x 480 pixels) that reacts as users tap or drag through intuitive menus and options.

Incrudo Phantom: “Mobile Phone with a Man’s Character”
by Chris Ziegler, posted Oct 6th 2008 at 6:37AM Welcome to Incrudo country, gentlemen. Out here, we grow chest hair as bushy as the tumbleweed, and we like our phones built thick. We’re not talkin’ no ordinary thick, either, no sir — give us 2 to 3mm of solid titanium casing here. We like our phones heavy, too; a half pound sounds about right. We didn’t get these burly muscles wrasslin’ cattle just to tote around a Samsung X820, if you know what we’re saying. Make it look like a brick, because it’s built like a brick. Just like us, because we’re men. (Read the full post about ‘Incrudo Phantom: “Mobile Phone with a Man’s Character”’…)

Toshiba’s MacBook Pro-esque Satellite E105 arrives at Best Buy
by Joshua Topolsky, posted Oct 5th 2008 at 11:19PM The Toshiba E105 has been sneaking around the fringes for a few days now, but apparently it’s not just announced — it’s available for purchase. That’s right, the oddly familiar looking 14.1-incher can be had at Best Buy for the totally reasonable price of $1,199.99, packing a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo, a 1280 x 800 TruBrite LCD display, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and an Intel 4500MHD integrated GPU. The Satellite also sports 802.11a/b/g/n, an HDMI out, Vista Home Premium, and that all-important fingerprint reader (just remember, this increases the odds of someone cutting off your finger). The laptop is available right now online, no word if it’s on store shelves yet.[Via LogicBUY]Rea (Read the full post about ‘Toshiba’s MacBook Pro-esque Satellite E105 arrives at Best Buy’…)

RIM’s BlackBerry Storm 9500 / 9530: details galore
by Darren Murph, posted Oct 5th 2008 at 2:01PM RIM’s BlackBerry Storm 9500 / 9530, which is more affectionately known ’round these parts as the Thunder, is definitely within striking distance. Still, just because you don’t have too much longer to wait doesn’t mean you aren’t anxious to get your hands on as many details as possible beforehand, right? The Boy Genius has managed to procure a few mundane stacks of PowerPoint slides that just so happen to contain some pretty scrumptious information on the touchscreen-based blackberry, and while there aren’t any mind-melting surprises in there (like, confirmation that it can indeed read and reply correctly to each e-mail automatically), it’s not the kind of data any real RIM fan would want to overlook.
