Today on Boing Boing Gadgets we looked at a new handheld camcorder from RED and the future of digital cinema (as well as all the various resolutions, some of which I assembled into the chart you see above); Nintendo's newly announced price for the Wii Fit balance board ($90); Rob's impressions of the Fujitsu P8010 laptop after a month; a new do-everything open gaming platform from the makers of the GP2X; a concept bag that doubles as a bike seat; the 'Wi-Fi Predator,' which slurps up remote Wi-Fi connections and shares them locally; listened to Tom Whitwell's review of the Sony PFR-V1 head-mounted speakers (not headphones!); Blue Jeans Cable's ESaD response to a cease-and-desist from Monster Cable; the Datto 500, a NAS that also mirrors your data off-site if you pay them a monthly fee; lamented the worsening state of CAPTCHA; saw this nitro-powered R/C car possible break 240MPH (according to reader estimates); noted that it is possible to sell a laptop bag without the actual bag; the K2, a light with metal teeth that can be exposed to make hurting; the Sigma DP-1 was reviewed by Richael Reichmann, who said even its beautiful images don't make up for its horrible UI; caught you up on today's Tetris news; discovered that yes, it is possible to make a shopping cart belch flame; and had fun playing Video Store Clerk, a new game that uses real customer ratings to simulate customers, then rolls your answers back into a big crowdsourced…look, it's fun if you like movies, I'm saying.
