Blackberry PlayBook
Touted as the professional’s tablet, Blackberry’s new PlayBook has some great features the current iPad lacks. The most obvious is the front and rear facing cameras for video chat. Plus, HDMI and USB ports. The PlayBook is powered by a 1GHZ dual-core chip and 1GB of RAM built-in. Besides WiFi you’ll be able to tether with your Blackberry smartphone via Bluetooth for 3G/4G internet access. The 7″ display is ideal for one-handed usability, and perfect for a Blackberry car audio install. Retail $TBD (promo video HERE)
Travis Pastrana vs Mt. Washington

Any road racing fan will be able to appreciate the amazing footage and accomplishment. The full version with multiple camera angles can be viewed HERE.
Adidas Revolution 30 NBA Jerseys
Every NBA player will be wearing the new Revolution 30 jersey from Adidas this season. The jerseys are 30% lighter and dry twice as fast, plus they are made from 60% recycled materials. Adidas’ Formotion fabric technology reduces fabric chaffing where it counts the moist. The biggest visual improvment is they won’t be as shiny and shimmery since the material is mesh. Word. Retail $249.99 for Authentic, or $79.99 for Swingman
Hanebrink Electric All-Terrain Vehicle
The Hanebrink is a 600 watt electric monster that can move 300 lbs of man up to 40 mph. It’s basically the Hummer of electric bicycles. The 10″ long travel fork and 8″ wide tires let you roll over pretty much any type of terrain. Battery run time is about an hour per lithium ion pack, expandable up to five packs. Skinnier tires would probably make it look more eco-friendly. Test rides are available in their Laguna Beach showroom. Retail starting at $5,500
Chase Jarvis
Do any research about DSLR filming techniques on Vimeo, you’ll come across Philip Bloom‘s work. He’s the guru behind this clip shot with a prototype Canon 7D. Meet Chase Jarvis, a photographer Philip Bloom labels a “very talented photographer.” Check out Chase’s original film above, shot on the new Nikon D7000. Straight beast.
“Storytelling, creative innovation, and visual voodoo—no matter the medium—make my heart go thump thump; and sharing all this online with the world, plus as much of my professional experience as I can muster, makes my soul sing. I’m fond of crows, and love that they’ll fly toward anything shiny. I feel like a crow on most days.”
Patagoina Torrentshell Jacket
A packable 2.5-layer nylon ripstop shell with a waterproof/breathable H2No® barrier and Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish for wet weather protection. Keep one at the top of your pack or in the trunk of your car, because getting wet when you didn’t plan to sucks. Retail $119 (available in eight different colors)
Ariel Atom V8
Back in August 2009 we touched on the Ariel Atom with a supercharged Honda K20 engine. Well the boys at Atom have built 25 special edition units of a V8 powered Atom. Wicked fast! Retail $220,000
“What we haven’t mentioned yet is that the Atom V8 is an ultra light car and all that power leads to an amazing power to weight ratio of 900 HP/ton which means an incredibly fast acceleration time and breathtaking top speed. The car will sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.3 seconds and it will reach a top speed of 170 mph for the street version of even 200 mph for the track oriented model.”
