Recently at Boing Boing Gadgets

Recently at Boing Boing Gadgets, we looked at simple cellphones, complicated paperclips, and the small list of places where T-Mobile's Androidphone will get fast cellular internet.

Joel finds a replica of his teenage mobile fun bar on sale for two grand, beautiful airplane models made from trash, and kitchenware made from leaves.

John likes Shuttle's shoebox PC with a built-in LCD screen, speakers in the shape of official iPod earbuds, and a cheap 5-megapixel slide scanner from Ion Audio.

Rob picked a traditional model over the fancy Sorapot teapot, wondered about mundane Mary Worth tackling technology, preferred an even-smaller Shuttle PC, and wondered why anyone would spend $830 on a warranty for a $1200 laptop.

We posed questions. Can you deal with unpowered push mowers? Do you see much difference between all these thin 'n' light laptops? Is there irony in the notion of spending $25 buying a wallet with the words "Think Twice" printed on it?

Marvin takes a look inside Steve Jobs's Brain Slices.

Just a note that you accidentally posted the same link for both the iPod earbuds and the cheap 5 mp slide scanner.

Now it's the italics in the BBGadgets title causing an italic tag fail. Similar to last-nights strikethrough tag fail. Is the "Recent Comments" box truncating the close-tag?

An open div?

We shall see!

it's from how the headlines are being truncated for formatting -- tags in the headline are opening and never gettng closed.

Working on a fix!
