Someone in the office said the other day, imagine if external hard drives had a screen that told you how much capacity was left on it? Well our fingers googled and we found the Western Digital My Passport Studio ($150-$200 USD).

Available in 320, 500, and 640GB capacities, these sleek silver drives feature both FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 interfaces, Time Machine support for the Mac users out there, and a super-crazy, e-paper "label" on the outside that lets you know details like remaining capacity, whether the drive is locked, and, to help with drive organization, a personalized label to help you keep track of its contents.

If you dont know by now, we over here at Offshoot are mac obsessed. One of the things we always wished we has was a remote control-type attachemtn for  our iPhone or iPod touch so we could use it as the remote for our home theater systems or the flat screen TV that we lost the actual remote for.



Although Apple doesn't look like it will be building one in anytime soon, the L5 iPhone Remote ($50 USD) is here to fill the void. This miniscule Dock-connecting accessory and companion app let you "build" your own interface using a library of buttons within the app, and then use the on-screen remote to control damn near any product you'd like using nothing but your iPhone or iPod touch.

Brilliant.

Sporting an Apple-like design [which we likey] and gobs of high technology, the Sony Bravia NX800 HDTV ($2,300-$3,500USD; March 2010) is one of the Japanese electronics giant's sexiest yet.

Features include a full HD 1080p, edge LED-backlit LCD screen in either 46-, 52-, or 60-inch sizes, Motionflow 240Hz technology for smooth on-screen motion, integrated Wi-Fi, and ambient light sensor, Sony's Bravia Internet Video and Internet Widgets, the Bravia Engine 3 video processor, and both USB and DLNA support for photos, music, and video playback.

With a unique reverse flip design and the MOTOBLUR content delivery service, the Motorola Backflip (not priced yet) will be the first Android phone released on AT&T. The design lets the screen slide up for access to a hardware keyboard, or flip around to act as a video viewing stand. Features like a 3.1-inch touch screen, 5 megapixel camera, a GPS, and Bluetooth to round out the experience.

This angled wonder lets you consume all the free movies, TV shows and music from the internet, all from your couch — and hooks it up to your system with just a single HDMI cable. Like the standard Boxee software, it also sucks in your own videos, music and photos, playing just about any media format that still resides on your broken down laptop. Take that Apple TV [hiding from Big C]
