Yanko Design is well known for digging up some of the most amazing, most commercializable concepts on the world wide web, and today the site has finally taken the next logical step. With every awesome mockup comes the inevitable question: “Yo, holmes — where can I buy this?” With the grand opening of the YD Store, you can now exchange your currency for such luxuries as the d°light Huggable Pillow, Magnetic Spice Stand, Sorapot and Cloud Chair. We couldn’t be happier to see some of these incredible designs ushered into the market place, and if you’re feeling the same, you can give that read link a tap to enter a deep, dark world that’s bound to drain your wallet dry. Have fun!
Update: Seems the site is getting battered at the moment, though we’re sure they’re buying more bandwidth as we speak. Right?

As if the consumer electronics world didn’t have enough drama to deal with this week, we’re now hearing that Canon just might be readying a new pro-level DSLR for a Tuesday launch. The long-awaited successor to the EOS 1D Mark III is reportedly on the way, and considering that the Japanese do everything they possibly can to avoid the number four (it’s pronounced the same as the word for death, if you must know), the EOS 1D Mark V is the only plausible candidate. We’re hearing whispers that the Nikon D3S rival will boast a 16 megapixel sensor, 1080p movie mode, 19 selectable AF points and an native ISO ceiling of 25,600 (with a boost to 102,400). The pain? Just under five large, though we’d take all of this with a healthy serving of salt until tomorrow ushers itself in.

Well, would you look at that? With Dell’s 0.39-inch thick Adamo XPS just days from hitting virtual store shelves, the high-end Adamo Desire is undergoing a minor face lift… on the inside. Back in July, the Desire editions (available in Pearl and Onyx hues) stooped to $2,299 and shipped with a 1.4GHz CPU and a 128GB SSD. Today, those same machines are available with a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo SL9600 processor, 256GB SSD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). The best part? The MSRP has remained the same. Huzzah!

The once-nonexistent intersection of netbooks and e-readers seems to be populating quite hastily these days, first with this morning’s questionable Spring Design Alex and now with the entourage eDGe. On the left side of this dual-screen, dual-function hybrid, where ePub and PDF files are said to open by default, we’ve got a 9.7-inch e-paper display with 16 shades of gray. On the right, a 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600 resolution screen with Android. Both sides are stylus-centric touchscreen — scribbling and note-taking is encouraged here — and other amenities include 3GB memory, 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, SD slot, two USB ports, 3.5mm headphone jack, a Li-ion battery for up to six hours, and support for EVDO / HSDPA via external modem. No word on what processor’s actually under the hood, but we won’t get our hopes up for anything more than very casual browsing. The site just launched with pre-orders being accepted to the tune of $490, or $530 if you’re wanting any color other than midnight blue, and will ship out February 2010. We also happened to stumble upon a PDF presentation from the company dated back to August 2009, if you feel so inclined to take a trip down memory lane.

What do you know? It looks like
Apple’s filed yet another patent application. The company’s newest is named (in the short, pithy way that patents are named) Synchronization of Media State Across Multiple Devices. Combining the ubiquity of
MobileMe with the media syncing that goes down when you dock your iPod or iPhone, the application suggests that soon you might find all your
Engadget Show episodes automagically picking up where you left ‘em when you switch devices — without any lag time or any pesky cables. As
Macworld points out, also included in the paperwork is distance tracking functionality — just the thing for automating sync operations when two devices come within range (it’s unclear whether this will be done via Bluetooth or WiFi). Perhaps this news isn’t exciting to the couch potatoes among us (you know, because they never leave the couch) but all you TV addicts “on the go” must be
psyched.
