Samsung is throwing down another 7 megapixel cameraphone — 7.7 to be precise — but this time they’re adding DMB and a whole lot of screen love. The design for the B500 is similar to their SCH-V770, but to make room for the extra pixels they’ve transferred the keypad to a slide out form factor. Despite this they manage to keep the phone reasonably thin at 0.7-inches, while still tossing in a 3x optical zoom, video out, and a T-Flash slot. No word on price or availability, but we’ve got our guesses, and they aren’t “free” or “USA”.

Throw out every gizmo and gadget you own—this is all you need. It can do everything: order alcohol, pizza, has a pee break alert, “Adams Mode,” L button, mood button and it can even call up Spock to help you operate the damn thing. Best of all: a sex button. Sorry ladies, I am off the market now, this is my new girlfriend.

Canon’s new flagship is LOADED! [DP Review]

Casio announced their new 6 megapixel digital camera, the notably smaller Exilim EX-Z600, which features a 2.7-inch display, 3x optical zoom, and “anti-shake” DSP (which uses high ISO settings to avoid blurring, and somehow doesn’t sound nearly as reassuring as proper OIS). Should be out sooner than later, but we don’t have any official word on price and release just yet, so keep an eye out come PMA next month.

Remember the Sleeptracker, the digital watch that could purportedly track your sleep rhythms and wake you only when you’re likely to be optimally refreshed (i.e., not when you’re in the middle of a deep sleep or heavy-duty REM cycle)? Well, it’s got a stylish big brother now, in the form of the aXbo, a sleek alarm clock that communicates wirelessly with a wristband that does basically the same thing as the Sleeptracker: it keeps track of your movements throughout the night, gauging how deeply you’re sleeping by how much you’re thrashing. You set a window during which it can wake you, and it waits for the right moment within that space. Of course, the aXbo won’t help you sleep better, but it could help you wake up feeling a little more refreshed — if you don’t mind shelling out €200 ($241) for the privilege.
