Make your Magic Mouse oh-so-ergonomic with this pasty silicone grip

While it’s hard to say if Apple’s Magic Mouse really needs “fixing” — it depends somewhat on your grip — it’s not a huge stretch to say that the slender multitouch device doesn’t quite fit in the palm of one’s hand. Sensing a market opportunity, Will of MMFixed.com recently decided to come to our collective rescue. For $10, he offers a simple silicone block that matches the mouse’s contoured surface nicely, with an integrated suction cup that keeps it securely fastened. While it’s not quite a one-size-fits-all solution, it’s certainly a lot cheaper than buying one of the new whacky , adjustable mice we’ve seen recently; and if the idea of ergonomics via marshmallow doesn’t appeal to you, you can always try the white bread variety. Video after the break.

Odroid handheld game console due early March sportin’ Android 2.1

We know you’ve been champing at the bit for some Odroid news… wait, you forgot already? You know, the Android-powered handheld game system that the manufacturer, Hardkernel, bills “the developer-focused portable game device”? To be honest, we’d hope that the company would focus on game players, but that’s really beside the point: the thing finally has a release date: “early March.” And for those of you lucky enough to get in on the ground floor, they’ve gone and upgraded the thing to Android 2.1.

How would you change Nokia’s N900?

How would you change Nokia’s N900?

Maemo 5 didn’t stand on its own for long before being mashed together with Intel’s Moblin, but Nokia’s N900 still stands as one of the best handhelds for web browsing. It’s hardly the world-beater that Nokia (may have) hoped it to be, but that’s not because the internals aren’t impressive. We’re guessing that only a handful of you made the effort to fork over wads of cash in order to pick an unlocked version up, but if you did, you no doubt have some opinions post-purchase. Is the display living up to your expectations? Are you and Maemo getting along alright? How’s that keyboard?

One man band rocks the iPod touch, rescues the MIDI clarinet from obscurity

We’ve seen blow-hard electronic music makers in the past (one particular didgeridoo hack comes to mind) but still, when one makes us take note we feel like we just have to pass it along. Onyx Ashanti is an American living in Berlin and a one-man band to boot. His instrument of choice is a Yamaha MIDI wind controller for triggering audio and the TouchOSC app for iPod touch for controlling PureData audio processing. And the music he makes from the two is pretty, pretty wild… see for yourself after the break.
