We're taking bets that this headset will show up in a low-budget science fiction "made-for-TV-movie" within months after it is released... 1674@http://www.gadgetmadness.com/ Sony PS3 2008-04-15T16:18:25+00:00 http://www.gadgetmadness.com/archives/20080415-playstation3_darklite_bluetooth_headset_for_ps3.php http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GadgetMadness/~3/255822796/20080321-how_to_use_portable_firefox_thunderbird_filezilla_and_pidgin_over_ssh_on_unprotected_networks_using_any_usb_drive.php A few years ago I started using PortableFirefox on my USB drive to browse with. It was easier to always have my stored form data, bookmarks, and other browser settings with me regardless of which computer I happened to be using.

I'll get straight to the point - I wanted a hard drive camcorder that had manual and auto light exposure modes, and most importantly a line-in audio microphone input jack that comes in around $500.
