Duct tape is really an amazing thing. It’s capable of doing, creating, or fixing just about anything. Don’t believe me? Ask all the ladies out there with duct tape engagement rings, or all of the business men wearing duct tape suits. They’ll tell you how it is.

A man must always have some duct tape at hand. People! Listen to me! Duct tape is a miracle of innovation. There’s even books published about the magic you can create with the household object. That’s why this Duct Tape Dispensing Belt Clip is so damn cool.

This heavy-duty dispenser is sure to save as many projects you have that are in need of a good fixing.

by Nilay Patel, posted Jul 12th 2008 at 6:33PM We’re not certain why Kodak is trickling out these middle-of-the-road digicams instead of announcing them all at once, but here we are. Joining the M1093 IS are the new M1073 IS (pictured) and M1063, while the C813 get a new friend in the C913. As you’d expect, almost nothing about these is all that spectacular: the $179 M1063 and M1073 IS are both 10 megapixel units with ISO1000 sensitivity and face detection, while the $120 C913 is a 9.2 megapixel unit with a 2.4-inch display and digital image stabilization.

by Paul Miller, posted Jul 12th 2008 at 1:45PM No, really, will it? We’re on pins and needles here. Sure, the original blended up fine, but with all the G’s in this thing, perhaps not even the mighty Blendtec can reduce it to rubble. Video is after the break. Oh, and for extra bonus points, check out the fake Belgian edition, also after the break. Yeah, we said Belgian. (Read the full post about ‘Will It Blend? iPhone 3G edition’…)

NTT DoCoMo has just released its new FOMA SH706i handset, and what makes this different from what you’ve seen so far in the past is the Symbian operating system. This new handset will begin shipping in Japan today, and chances are it won’t function outside of the Land of the Rising Sun. Just in case the FOMA SH706i sounds familiar to certain quarters, that’s because a whole lot of cell phone from Japan do share similar sounding model numbers in addition to the insane amount of features found within. Currently, 3G phones in Japan that are powered by Symbian’s operating system are manufactured by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Motorola, Nokia, Sharp, and Sony Ericsson.

Gadgetell exclusive: last night I was contacted by a couple of developers, each shut out of the beta program.  Both, I might add, have fantastic application ideas but Apple hadn’t even looked at thier app until yesterday.  Or so it seemed. Both developers got notification they were accepted into the program.  Word is a couple of weeks and wham, bam, boom - they are in the App Store. As I’ve said before, I found the launch of the App Store a little underwhelming but do believe it will snowball into some amazing Apps for us to enjoy.  How about you, got an app you can’t live without now? I also got to thinking this morning, Apple just created a way for them to add productivity (Read the full post about ‘Apple lets flood gates open: more iPhone App developers accepted’…)

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jul 12th 2008 at 12:28PM Do you have $8000 to blow? Have you been dying to open a laser tattoo parlor? Well guess what? It’s your lucky day. The folks at Epilog would like you to meet the Zing, a $7,995 laser etcher / printer that can not only scar you for life, but can also leave a personalized stamp of your choosing on anything that you can fit into it. If you’ve seen engraved iPods, Zunes, or MacBooks, you get the idea of what this device can do. The Zing is made to tackle almost any material, be it wood, plastic, leather, glass, or various metals (of course), though we’re fairly certain the company doesn’t condone or recommend taking this baby to your precious, supple skin.
