iTunes 7.4.1 is out. No idea if it musses up your iPhone haxx that you just finished reinstalling after yesterday’s 7.4 update. Happy Friday night, I’m still stuck in Denver. This is why I’m blogging about iTunes 0.1 updates. UPDATE: Ringtones are fine, as setup by SendSong.

Aqua Photo, a Korean based company, did the most logical thing to an aquarium, they mounted it on the wall and made it look like a TV. With specs that sound more like a TV rather than a fish tank, this aquarium has a 1460 x 640 cm measurement, 100 watt back light, and a 35 fish capacity. At $2132, the Aqua Photo Wall Mounted Aquarium even has the huge price of an expensive TV. [Uber-Review via tfts]

A wheel chair being developed by Ambient will allow users to control its movement with just their thoughts — a breakthrough device that could be a huge help for the paralyzed. Called the Audeo, the chair works by intercepting brain signals sent to your larynx and decoding them to match previously recorded words, such as “forward,” “back,” or “fire laser.”
Luckily, there is no complex cyborg-like surgery involved, as the device works by using a sensor-covered neckband to detect the brain signals and wirelessly transmit them to a nearby computer for processing. Theoretically, the signals can also be sent to a speech synthesizer, allowing a paralyzed user to speak with all the intensity and creepiness of Stephen Hawking. Pretty amazing in its simplicity, I’m curious to see how accurate this thing is and that it won’t be sending our handicapped flying backwards into traffic. [Ambient via SciFi]

If there’s one thing better than a new iPod and/or iPhone it’s the new iPod and/or iPhone caged, networked and ready to do your bidding. The iPort in-wall dock is essentially a pretty box that you can hang on a wall that will allow you to fully control your iPod or iPhone from anywhere in your house — as long as your entire house is networked. The gadget is slick, I’ll give it that, but $200 dollars for the one-way unit is a bit steep — even if your iPhone rebate does buy half of it. By the way, there’s also a two-way $800 dollar version, you know, if you’ve completely lost your mind. [MediaMentalism via MobileMentalism]

An updated version of the O2 Helen, the O2 XDA Denim has just been spotted at the FCC site. Contrary to its name, the smartphone has nothing denim on it.Specs include triband GSM/GPRS/Wi-Fi, a camera (no details on the megapixels), WiFi, and Bluetooth. I’m sure we’ll learn more about this smartphone and its other features in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

In the dick contest that is CEDIA, the little screens sometimes get overlooked. But we didn’t miss the LC-19D44U, a 19-incher AQUOS from Sharp that shows that size doesn’t always matter. Destined for kitchens and equipped with one of the sharpest screens we saw, it was the only brand new TV set introduced by the company here at CEDIA. It’s the first 16×9 set this small made by Sharp, and even though it’s just 720p, it’s packing lots of pixels into a small space. galleryPost(\’sharp19\’, 4, \’\');
Space saving is a recurring theme with this model, too, with its magnetic-backed remote control that sticks to the TV’s base when you’re not using it. We saw another model in white that’s just about the same but not AQUOS branded, and doesn’t have that clever magnetic-backed remote or the carrying handle in the back.
These tiny TVs look great, their price is right, […]

Mark your calendars, my friends. On September 12, Palm will be making an announcement about a “new device” from their friends “across the pond.” Eh? Well, we certainly know it’s not going to be the Foleo. According to Palm employee Stephanie Richardson’s blog, the news …

Do you know what time it is? It’s ass kicking time, and this Batman Collapsible Desk Clock is just the thing for criminals to know that Batman’s working 24 hours a day. $45 gets you the clock, which is also collapsible, and probably means you can easily stick it into your pocket and throw it at any co-workers who violate your personal space. I’m Batman. [Skymall via Popgadget via Shiny Shiny]

newVideoPlayer(”ShadowPuppets_gawker.flv”, 475, 376); Growing up I loved making shadow puppets, but regardless of how awesome I thought they were, no one could decipher my genius. Enter Shadow Monsters. This game (is it really considered a game?) takes your shadowy creations and digitally alters them onto a projection screen. It can even tell that you are trying to open and close your monsters “mouth” and will let out a big ol’ burp. Classy. [Kotaku]
