Sure, it runs the not-so-hot Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, but if you're determined to pick up a new Windows Phone, you can't do better than the HTC HD2 ($TBA; Early 2010). As the first Windows phone with HTC's Sense user interface, the HD2 is way more usable than the average Microsofty phone, and it packs some serious features, such as a 4.3-inch, 480x800 capacitive touch screen, HSPA 3G networking, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and a dual LED flashlight, a standard 3.5mm audio jack, microSD storage, GPS, a compass, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and more.

Who would have thought that the hot new Android device of the month would come from previously dead-in-the-water Motorola? The Motorola Droid ($200; November 6) is Verizon's newest iPhone competitor, and the star (if you can call it that) of its new iDon't advertising campaign. Apart from being the first device to debut running Android 2.0 -- complete with the all-new Google Maps Navigation -- the Droid is rocking some seriously nice specs, including an ARM Cortex A8 processor, a 3.7-inch, 480x854 touch screen, a 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, Bluetooth, GPS, a slide-out keyboard, an included 16GB SD card, and more.

Leave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
