Similar to the Muvo 2, the iPod Mini also uses a 4gb microdrive which costs more than the mp3 player itself. So you can also remove the drive and use it in your digital camera. The Muvo 2 is $50 cheaper though.

The Enigma machines were used by the Nazis to encrypt messages sent to their U-Boats. The Enigma-E is a DIY kit to make your very own functional Enigma machine. This is so cool. You can have an actual replica of the machine the Allies fought to capture. When they broke the code it shortened the war by 2 years.

DP Review added to their Nikon D2H review a section about the WiFi transmitter that allows you to transfer images to a PC wirelessly. The connection still looks awkward; Nikon could\’ve integrated it a little better. At this year\’s PMA show DP Review was able to send \”live from the show floor\” pictures because the convention hall had WiFi access. Pretty cool stuff. Hopefully this technology will trickle down to Nikon\’s lower-end cameras.
