Designed by Sung-Kyu Nam, the Okids phone can shape-shift from a cell to a heart-shaped game console at a flick of the wrist. It’s aimed at five- to six-year-olds, and the heart and pill shapes represent the love you have for Mario and Pac Man children, apparently. The Okids phone-console thingy is a concept and, let’s hope it stays that way. [Shiny Shiny]

The USBee flash drive is attention-grabbing, not only because of its bee-themed appearance, but also because of its bendable neck and curvaceous shape. The USBee also features heat ventilation around the circuit board so that you don’t fry your precious content. This would be a good thumb drive solution for the Macbook Air and its unfortunate USB situation. [Yanko Design]

We popped this feature last night, but wanted to remind you so you didn’t miss some key explanations:
• Why there won’t be a $199 Blu-ray player this year
• Why BD-Live on the web won’t take off quickly
• Why Paramount and Universal’s biggest blockbusters will suffer most this year due to the studios’ HD DVD alliance
For that and more, read: Whole Blu World: The Format War’s Bloody Aftermath

There are ways and means to add some interest to a USB hub, but Evergreen’s new Picture Frame Hub misses all of them. Sure, everyone could do with four extra USB ports from time to time, and having a picture of your loved one on your desk is always good. But combined? And with a light behind the photo? Nope, it just doesn’t work. All it makes you want is a real digital pic frame. But, if it still floats your boat, it’s available soon for $24.91. [Geekstuff4u via Akihabaranews]

This small point release for Sony’s PS3 just fixed a few bugs and exploits, but brought a new feature that allows PlayStation 2 games that needed to install onto a hard drive to do so. Great for those who are still playing Final Fantasy XI. [Kotaku]
