If you’re a gamer who gets stressed easily whenever your team mates do not listen to your instructions and go ahead to get themselves killed, then the Stealth KYBX-400 keyboard would fit your personality well. After all, it was specially constructed to be tough, so banging the keyboard isn′t going to faze it at the end of the day. Features include a built-in optical trackball, being environmentally sealed to NEMA 4, 4X and IP65 specifications. The rugged vandal resistant stainless steel enclosure will hold 71 full-travel keys with silent tactile feedback, a 38mm optical trackball and NVIS-compliant red adjustable backlighting for easier key reference if you love working in pitch black darkness. At $695 a pop, this is definitely one of the more expensive keyboards you&rsquoll ever purchase in this lifetime.

We know that ViewSonic’s ViewPad 100 is capable of dual booting, but with more details on the tablet device being revealed, the initial euphoria isn′t quite there any more. After all, having Android 1.6 running on it isn′t exactly going to excite anyone, despite the fact that you can always boot up Windows 7 as an alternative. We′re still trying to figure out how a dual booting tablet will fit into the average Joe’s life, but if it ever takes off, it will probably occupy an extremely niche market. Other hardware specifications of the ViewSonic ViewPad 100 include a 10-inch LED display at 1024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom N455 1.66Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB SSD, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a G-sensor, A-GPS, a couple of USB ports, a miniVGA, microSD memory card slot and an integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam. No idea on pricing though.

The Neofonie WeTab that has some birth pangs features hardware specifications which would put the Apple iPad to shame - after all, who can argue with a 11.6-inch display at 1,366 x 768 resolution, HDMI output support, two (yes, not just one) USB ports, a 1.3-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity? With an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor running within, it is power packed to say the least - too bad the device isn’t exactly the most popular tablet to tote around at this point in time. Perhaps with the ability to run MeeGo Linux on it, another 10 more units might be sold, but otherwise most other folks would glance this way and give it a miss.

We are starting to wonder whether the Galaxy line of devices from Samsung will end up like the Eee PC range from Asus - after all, not only do we have a variety of Galaxy S smartphones, there is also the recently announced Galaxy Tab tablet device, and now, the Galaxy Player 50 which is actually a portable media player. Powered by Android 2.1 (why not Froyo?), the Galaxy Player 50 comes with a 3.2-inch display and is more than able to handle the likes of DivX, H.264 and other media formats. You can choose from either an 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, coupled with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity and a 2-megapixel camera. Surprisingly, the Galaxy Player 50 supports the Android Market as well as other Google apps such as Google Maps Navigation and Gmail. Hopefully the games department for the Android Market will be vastly improved if it were to be able to hold a decent challenge against the App Store.

Logitech knows just how important ergonomics are to a gamer when it comes to hardware, and have just revealed three more gamepads for the masses - we′re talking about the Logitech Gamepad F310, the Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510 and the Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710. First off, the Logitech Gamepad F310 will come in a familiar and comfortable control layout alongside a special floating D-pad design that delivers exceptional accuracy in all eight directions. XInput and DirectInput technology have also been incorporated, virtually assuring you that it will function with any game that supports a gamepad. Just in case the game you want to play does not support gamepads, you can always go ahead and install the included Profiler software and make sure the gamepad is properly configured to emulate keyboard and mouse actions. It will retail for $24.99 a pop. More on the other two gamepads after the jump.

As we previously mentioned, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is getting plenty of attention this week, and now perhaps the device has gotten a little too much attention for Samsung’s liking. The tablet hasn’t even been made available for mass consumption yet, and the folks over at Sera-Apps have already managed to root the Galaxy Tab before the device is launched, which will allow you to fiddle with the system as you see fit. That being said, it remains to be seen if Samsung will take this period of time before the release to patch up the vulnerability that allows the rooting to be performed.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is one of the more popular subjects this week, though one thing that many folks out there are wondering about is its price. If the rumors are accurate, we′re in for a spot of bad news, as word is going around that the 16GB version of the Galaxy Tab might be going for EU ($896), which is similar to Apple′s 32GB iPad 3G, despite using a smaller display. Aside from that, the price of EU ($1,025) was also mentioned by some parties, with British retailer Expansys listing it at GBP680 ($1,048), which is comparable to Apple’s 64GB iPad 3G. Despite Apple’s iPad lacking front and back cameras and a memory card slot, it’s still the tablet to beat at the moment, and if these rumored prices are close to being accurate, then the Galaxy Tab might be facing an uphill battle to topple the iPad.

You might have checked out the Android-powered tablet from Camangi before, and now the company is back again with two new offerings, the F and the Camangi II. Not much is mentioned about the Camangi II, save that it will apparently carry a 1GHz Samsung processor. Hopefully Camangi will be able to put that processing grunt into good use. The F on the other hand sports a less powerful 600MHz Qualcomm processor, which should still be good enough to keep the device chugging along. Specifications of the F should include:

We suppose if you’ve tried all sorts of expensive methods to heal that ache in your back with no success, then you’re probably entitled to have hope that this £51.08 SolarStone device will work wonders as advertised. It supposedly relies on heat generated from infrared rays to soothe and heal all the sore points on your body. All it takes is just 10 minutes of juicing up to deliver enough heat for up to 2 hours. Since it comes in a highly portable design, bringing this with you on your travels shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.

Heat seeking missiles used to be the bomb, but good thing dummy flares have been created to counter such missiles - otherwise, Iron Man would have been toast a long time ago in the skies. Well, we humans can’t outrun missiles, but we can certainly dodge Nerf bullets - not until they come up against the heat seeking Nerf machine gun which is capable of seeking out body heat to fire at anything alive. This was made possible thanks to the efforts of Rick Prescott who connected an infrared sensor to a Nerf Vulcan EBF-25TM, resulting in his masterpiece.
