The AcceleGlove. A new electronic glove for the deaf that can translate gestures made in American Sign Language into speech or text:The AcceleGlove is a wearable computer with super-small electronic circuitry. Sensors in the glove work with a micro-controller attached to the wearer's arm, mapping the placement and movement of the arm and fingers. That information is turned into data a computer can read and convert to words heard from a loudspeaker or read on a computer screen.The AcceleGlove is just a prototype right now, but there is a chance that it'll be on the market next year.

4GB CompactFlash memory card. It ain't cheap (retail price: $1,499), but Lexar has a new four gigabyte CompactFlash memory card out. Let's pause and think about this for a moment. Four gigabytes is enough to store as many as 45,000 JPEGs, which is probably more photographs than the average person will take in their entire lifetime. Eventually, as camera resolutions improve and file-sizes get bigger, filling up a memory card this large will get easier, but in the meantime it's unlikely that anyone apart from professional photographers (and very serious hobbyists) will shell out the cash for one of these. Which is just as well, since these new cards are only compatible with a relatively small number of high-end cameras like the Canon EOS-10D and Kodak's DCS Pro 14n. Read... [Gizmodo]

Four new MP3 players from Rio. Just got a tip that Rio, which was once THE name in MP3 players, has four new models on the way called the Fuse, the Cali, the Chiba, and the Karma. The Fuse will be a 128MB USB key drive player. The Cali and the Chiba players will have 128MB and 256MB of internal memory, respectively, and expansion slots for SD cards. The big news, though, is a hard drive-based player called the Karma, which will come in 20GB and 40GB versions, have USB 2.0 for file-transfers, a dock with a built-in Ethernet port, and support the open source Ogg Vorbis audio format as well as MP3 and WMA. Apparently a page with all these players turned up on the J&R website, and then was promptly pulled down once they'd realized the error. [Thanks, Jason]... [Gizmodo]
