Gadget Spotter: Bloody iPod Edition

Ooo! So gruesome. How could they do that?!
I’m starting a new feature on weekends called Gadget Spotter. Basically, I’m going to put my obsessive TV watching to good use. Every weekend, I’ll post some screen caps of gadgets used in action on various TV shows the previous week. It’s up to you to give me the name of the show, who is using it and the make/model of the device. Some of these will be easy. Others will be hard. And others, well, they’ll be pretty lame, but just bear with me. Post your answers in the comments section. And if you spot anything during the week on TV that might worth posting, please e-mail me at wayne at crunch gear dot com.
What TV is this? Bonus points if you can tell me what game is being played on the screen.
An easy one, but what laptop is that?
Please watch this show. I don’t want it to get canceled.
Another easy one. What’s the make/model?
Farewell, we hardly knew ye.
This is actually from a movie released on DVD this week. I want to buy this watch for novelty purposes.

1. Poor Dale. All she wanted to do was listen to a lil’ Big Pun on her new iPod Nano, but Sylar was hungry for some audio brain power.
2. Hitachi TV. Syphon Filter. (?)
3. Ted Sprague uses a Dell XPS, dude.
4. Wayne, you Gilmore Girl freak, check out la chica’s MacBook Pro!
5. Jack Bauer’s smartphone of death: Palm Treo 600.
6. Or we never knew ye at all. Motorola HS850 is connecting the witches in Charmed. (?)
7. Steven Seagal’s Casio in Flight of Fury. Damn, Steven, where you been? Your movies are so good!

JP, you’re wrong on #4, #6 and #7. I guess you don’t watch as many teen dramas as I do.

the only one i’m gonna comment on is #2 because JP is HORRRENDOUSLY wrong.. Its Halo 1 or 2 i can’t tell from the screen shot and its from Studio 60. possibly the OC.. since i know the main two male characters are gamers..

#2 is not from Studio 60, but you’re really, really close.

It’s a Timex, but I don’t know what the exact model is.

#2 is not “What About Brian.” Come on, that show is on ABC :-p.

Ryan, it is sad. But that fact that I watched the episode is sad, too.

#2 is correct. But who is playing who? Thanks for #7. We’re still missing #4. Come on, doesn’t anyone watch this show? It’s so good!

#4, One Tree Hill maybe? I don’t remember them using Macs though…

You’re all wrong about #2.
It’s a Sharp LC32D50U, and they’re playing Halo 2 not 1, you can tell because of the logo on the arm of the spartan soldier. And it’s from this weeks episode of 30 rock when Tracy Jordan was playing Halo 2 against his entourage.

#4 Smallville (Chloe?)

I’m sure that the dedicated 24 watchers are more likely to be right, but I want to say that #5 is the Palm Treo 700p from Sprint, since I’m holding one right now and it is exactly the same. My dad has the 650 from Cingulair and the button layout is different on the 650.

#4 looks like Smallville. If it is, it’s probably Chloe using it.

I’m going to say #4 is from one of my favorite shows, Veronica Mars. But, I’m just guessing.

#4 is obviously the OC which was canceled this week.
- MacBook Pro
They’re notorious Apple users. As well as 24 which probably will never be canceled in any of our lifetimes.

#2 is Halo being played from 30 Rock. Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) is playing with his entourage including his new assistant, the white nerdy guy whose name i can’t remember.

To confirm for number 2 part b, that is definitely Halo 2.

Don’t watch much T.V., but I can verify that the game being played in image 2 is Halo 2. Though I can’t recognize the map for the life of me. Looks like a hybrid between Ivory Tower and Foundation. Very interesting.

“#4 is obviously the OC which was canceled this week.”
obviously it’s not the OC since the OC is on fox, not CW.

Just a little comment on #1, Heroes is sponsored by Microsoft vista. You see tons of vista adds all thru the show.

Wow… Nobody’s gotten #5 right yet.. Not a 600 or a 650, but a Palm Treo 700p. But you were both right, it is 24.

You guys are good. And yes, #4 is from this week’s episode of “Veronica Mars.” Thank God someone watches it. Thanks for correcting Jack Bauer’s Treo. I knew the 600/650 models didn’t look right.

To be more specific, #2 is Halo 2 on Ivory Tower (note the sloped entry to the overshield ramp).
My knowing this gets me down.
