We're a little confused as to how this former Portable Media Center ODM design reminiscent more of a Nintendo DS (or the later Game Boy Advances) than a mobile media workhorse got such a makeover from New Media Life, but the TAVI 030 sounds like it'll be anything but a slouch. Set to be announced soon enough, it'll supposedly come equipped with wireless IPTV, podcasting support, and satellite TV -- even some HDTV support. Not that it's going to do you a whole lot of good on a QVGA display (or whatever it'll inevitably have), but this will definitely be one to watch out for Q107.

Joining the nearly endless amount of Nintendo DS hacks already in the wild is TobW's DS Sampling Keyboard, which "uses the DS's microphone and touchscreen" to interface with a software-based sampling keyboard. A close contender to join our Music Thing series, this wonderous hack takes advantage of the wee machine's excellent X / Y-axis controls as well as its built-in WiFi to beam the MIDI commands wirelessly. The program has been tested with Wifi, GBAMP, and M3, so "it should work on pretty much anything," and provides a much less expensive alternative to those dedicated offerings. While musical gizmos are always more effective when seen heard rather than just heard about, be sure to click on for a front row seat to the YouTube demonstration.

The Japanese will find any excuse to pull out a Nintendo DS, as evidenced by this Tekuteku Angel Pocket pedometer. The otherwise ordinary white and blue pedometer is made extraordinary by its ability to upload data to the Nintendo DS. After syncing, the DS can keep track of your "caloric output and general health readings."
As a reward for walking—other than the obvious one of staving off death—the little figure in the Tekuteku Angel Pocket shrinks down the more you walk. Encouragement for walking, what'll the Japanese think of next! – Jason Chen
