Apex Digital has been selling boatloads of DVD players, but now the company is launching a game console to challenge the PS2 and Xbox. Dubbed the ApeXtreme, the box will sport an AMD Althlon XP2000 CPU and an Nvidia nForce2 graphics chip. Besides playing games, the ApeXtreme will also feature TiVo-like digital video recording. A full-on launch hits this fall.

Never, ever get lost again. Garmin’s top-of-the-line in-car GPS system is the accessory you need on your dashboard when making an out-of-state booty call. The 2620 comes pre-loaded with detailed maps of the entire U.S. A high-resolution 256-color touchscreen shows your location, while voice-prompted, turn-by-turn navigation lets you keep your eyes on the road. A new timesaving device lets you do a quick search for nearby gas stations when you’re running on E.

Bluetooth headsets are a dime a dozen, but maintaining sound quality during a call is critical. With this new wireless cell phone headset, you get solid sound at a solid price. It’s also designed for a comfortable fit, unlike some ear torture devices we’ve tried. In addition, you can talk until you’re all talked out, because this baby delivers five hours of talk time and 120 hours of standby time.
