Following Vodafone's announcement that it would be bringing the iPhone to ten more countries, including Italy, Telecom Italia issued its own short and sweet press release: "Telecom Italia announced today it has signed a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Italy later this year." So that's two separate companies laying claim to the Italian release of the iPhone, which sounds like the end of Apple's exclusivity deal to us. There are even rumors that a third Italian carrier is thinking about it: "evaluating the market opportunity," as Wind's website puts it. Dare we hope that this news also implies unlocked iPhones?

Italian Perv Professor Claims Ultrasound Can Hunt Out the G-Spot
A professor from the University of L'Aquila in Italy says has discovered a clue which may point the way to the fabled G-Spot—or at least prove that some lucky ladies have it, while others don't. Emmanuele Janini's findings (he scanned 20 women, 11 who experienced vaginal orgasms and nine who didn't, with a vaginal ultrasound) have set off a raging debate inside the wonderful world of lady-pleasure.

Italian Parliament Legalizes P2P Music Downloads?
In what appears to be an embarrassing error, the Italian parliament may have accidentally legalized P2P music downloads. The new law allows Italians to legally share music over the internet, just as long as it is done for non-commercial gain and the music is degraded. The controversy arises from the definition of the word "degraded." More »

World Record Broken for 5GHz Wi-Fi Distance
A new world record has been set for 5GHz Wi-Fi transmission distance. One group was based in Italy and one in Sardinia, at a distance of 188.89 miles. The record was broken by the Italian Center for Radio Activities and Ubiquiti Networks, which provided some of the necessary gadgets. More »

The pole-mounted speakers from Hi-Fi Center in Italy look loud and probably sound loud. It's a two-way bass reflex loudspeaker that looks like a speaker gun, and includes carbon fiber enclosures and red elastic suspension to keep it pointed in the right direction—namely, your face. It's got a recommended power of 100 watts per side, with a 7-inch woofer, an impedence of 6ohms, and a frequency response of 45Hz to 22kHz. I'm sorry, did you say something? [AudioJunkies]

I'm going on vacation, my friends. I'm taking my first week off in over a year, and boy am I excited. I'm not even gonna think about gadgets for 10 days (well, maybe a little bit). That means I won't be here to deliver amusing videos and dumb products with snarky descriptions, but I trust that you'll all survive without me. I'll be back a week from Monday rested up and more excited about phones and poorly conceived products than ever.

Japan's Rin Standing Speaker Emphasizes Visual Quality Over Sound Quality
Not that we're saying the Rin doesn't sound good—there's no way we can tell without hearing it—but it seems to us anything that looks this weird can't be something audiophiles will want show off to their audiophile friends. More »

Brionvega Alpha TV is more Future Classic than Retro-Chic
Brionvega has been making TVs for over 60 years now and some of its retro models are still available, albeit on the expensive side. The Italian company has just come out with the Alpha TV—which is still at the concept phase, so no prices, sorry—with a smidgen of retro styling (most of which is in the shiny remote control that is chunkier than Burt Reynold's moustache was—mmmmmm, dreamy) but which, on the whole, is very forward-looking.

PS3 European Launch: A Continent Yawns and Continues Picking Its Nose
You've already heard about the free tellies and taxis over in London, well this is how the PS3 was welcomed in France - with a gallic shrug. Just 60 per cent of its 100,000 available units have been reserved, a smattering of press attended the official launch - and a pleasure boat coated with Xbox logos parked itself next to the Eiffel Tower for that all-important photo-op before chugging up and down the Seine. Yes, it was Microsoft who pulled out all the stops and got first dibs on what little press attention there was. More »
