Much like the Windows Live Messenger phones that have been popping up lately, this Siemens Gigaset S450 is a cordless phone that connects to the PC via a USB adapter. But instead of Windows Live Messenger, this phone works on Yahoo! Messenger—oh yes!

Now you can walk around the house, provided your house only goes 50 meters in each direction from the phone, and make calls through your landline or through Yahoo! Messenger. Pretty snazzy, if you’re into the whole VoIP thing, and know people who use Y!M. – Jason Chen

Taiwanese company PQI (Power Quotient International) augmented its SATA flash drive line with a 64GB model. The storage units, billed as the world slimmest flash drives, consist of 3mm-thin cards that hold huge amounts of data and plug into a Mac or PC using USB 2.0.

The company says these discs will have a transfer rate of 25MB per second, and will be highly efficient, consuming just a small amount of power. A frustrating part of this announcement is that the most important element of this equation, the cost of these drives, was not released yet. – Charlie White
