Let me start by saying that I was amazed at the many numbers of comments that we had at the Wrist Watch Tattoo. Several of them said that telling time with an ever-changing digital tattoo on the wrist was a pure hoax, but some were believers.

I recently discovered another way of telling time with some ever changing digits, but this is designed for the wall. The Black & White clock features four separate OLED digits, each of them are on individual power.

I’m guessing that somehow these four numbers are somehow wirelessly synced together, as one number should know its place in the whole. I suppose they could be timed so that the hour number is in sync with the minute number and such.

As you can see, these numbers are black during the daytime, but the designer, Vadim Kibardin, has arranged it so the numbers will glow in the dark. I’m not certain how they mount on the wall.

Right now, this Black & White clock remains only a concept for now, but the designer is currently hoping for a mass distributor. Considering how pragmatic and aesthetic this clock is, it probably won’t be long before the Black & White Clock adorns the walls of mansions.

ProClip USA has recently announced a bunch of device holders which were specially designed to securely mount the recently released iPhone 3G S to car, truck and SUV dashboards alongside consoles. These were specially custom made to connect to vehicle-specific ProClip dashboard mounts, giving superior viewing and easier access. Of course, you can always attach the ProClip holders to other flat surfaces. Below are the new products available for your perusal.

The Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel is custom made with a neat and discreet design. It tilts 15 degrees in any direction for optimal viewing. Your iPhone 3G S easily slides in and out of the holder.

The Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel and Charging/USB Cable has a cable permanently attached to the base so when your device is slid into the holder it connects to the cable. Then the cable can either be plugged into your car’s 12V power outlet or any female USB connection. You can easily slide your iPhone in and out of the holder. The Holder angles 15 degrees for optimal viewing.

The Holder with Tilt Swivel and Pass-Through Connector will make docking and undocking, your iPhone 3G S, easier and more convenient. Attach your stereo cable, charging cable or any other iPhone compatible cable, to the bottom of the holder, to create a docking station. Your iPhone 3G S is conveniently on the dash within easy reach and slides in and out of the holder with one hand. The holder is custom made with a neat and discreet design and tilts 15 degrees, in any direction, for optimal viewing.

The Adjustable Holder with Tilt Swivel and Pass-Through Connector has all the benefits of the above Holder with Tilt Swivel and Pass-Through Connector plus it is designed to accommodate your encased iPhone 3G S. This Adjustable Holder will adjust from a width of 2.3″ (60mm) to 3.2″ (82mm).

The ProClip Vehicle Mount provides the mounting platform to attach any of the ProClip holders. The ProClip Vehicle Mount is the only vehicle specific, consumer installable mounting bracket in today’s global market. The mount clips into the dashboard seams, providing a very sturdy and tight fit. Average installation time is 2 minutes. No dismantling of the dashboard is required and there is no damage to the vehicle’s interior!

Guess there is a little bit of something for everyone, unless you don’t own a vehicle, of course, then you’ll just need to stash your iPhone 3G S into your pocket while you get about on public transport.

With reading about concept designs, you never know what you’re going to get.  Sometimes they’re fairly reasonable and then there are others that are just far fetched and ridiculous.  Then there are those you just hope the technology is out there to make it possible, because it would make things far more simple.  Which is where this design would fall into.  It is a dock for your iPod, but it allows for other things to be stacked along with it, besides just ordinary speakers.

You could choose how many speakers you wanted, along with adding a couple of things you might not expect.  Things like a light to give a nice glow along with your tunes, as well as an air purifier.  Adding an air purifier to it would make it so that you didn’t have a separate purifier cluttering up your desk.  The design was created by Sang-hoon Lee.  It may never make it to an actual store, but it’d definitely be nice if it did.

With everything getting converged these days, it makes perfect sense for the existence of the Fendi Casa Mirror TV Combo. This device is perfect for those who live in hamster-like homes that are so small that even Ikea doesn’t have a design that fits. Well, the name of it is pretty much self-explanatory - it is a standard mirror that works as one, at least until your turn the LCD TV on. Once powered up, the TV will reveal itself in various sizes (depending on your budget), maxing out at 42″. Perfect for those who are living in studio apartments as well as couples who want something a little bit different in their bedrooms.

I don’t know if this next product is some sort of joke, but it feels like a sick one. If the photo to the left here was a video, you might see what I am talking about.

What you see in the picture is not some guy with a stamp of “01:35” on his wrist, but those numbers change as time goes by.

Yes, this is a wristwatch that is somehow implanted onto your wrist. It uses the natural kinetic energy for power, and it uses a wireless signal to sync up to an external clock to make certain your wrist is always on time.

So this an electric tattoo of a watch that is always there, no matter what. It is even planned to have the numbers glow when you hold your wrist up to view the time. I can’t help but wonder if this guy has the month and day on his left wrist.

Okay, I personally think that a device like this is some kind of unnatural relationship between technology and humanity. I mean, we’re not far off from Borg technology with something like this. It reminds me of a weird tattoo that Russell Crowe received in A Beautiful Mind.

However, I will let you, the readers, decide that. Leave a comment if you think this is an aberration of nature or just another advancement in technology.

It’s time to enter a new epoch of Repoch! Sanyo doesn’t use that slogan to sell their new DVR, but they really should. All right, they probably shouldn’t, but you have to admit, it is a cool rhyme.

Actually, the Sanyo Repoch is not only a DVR that has both an analog and digital TV tuner, but it is also an iVR (Information Versatile Disk). The iVR slot has a place for 320 gigabyte HDD cartridges, and comes with one 160 gigabyte iVDR cartridge.

There are connectivity options that include an Ethernet connection, HDMI output, component audio, plus video inputs with a couple of antenna posts. I’m not certain if the antenna ports are good for the digital era of TV.

As you can see from the attached photo, the Repoch comes with a very big and advanced remote control. You can also see that it is the picture of the Repoch is labeled as an “iV Recorder”. What does that mean? It can record things that are intra-venous? Maybe it is called that because it records information, hence the “I”. Then again, that is a small “I”, so perhaps it is iPod compatible? Clearly, I need to find out some more information about these particular gadget.

The Repoch is slated for a Japan-only release sometime around September 1st.

Those that enjoy seeing the inside of their gadgets are going to love this new kit for the Nintendo DSi.  It coats your DSi in a bright candy color and keeps things nice and clear.  It’s far more interesting than just slapping a skin on the outside and a little easier than attempting to create a clear case that will show the insides of it all on your own.

The kit comes in various colors, those being candy apple red, emerald green, electric blue, a completely clear shell and then a non-clear matte black and then a white one.  Not only is there a shell included, but color coordinated buttons to complete the transformation.  They also include the tools you’ll need to make the case your own and keep it customized to your tastes.  As far as putting the shell on all you’ll need is a screwdriver.  The shell will cost you $25.99 from Divineo.

See the two gigantic yellow arms, with claws? Those are robot grapples, each with the power to lift 50 tons, and spin at 70 kilometers per hour (12 revolutions per minute).

I’m sure that control of these metal monsters must be difficult, but Simon Wittber from the Australian firm Transmin has greatly simplified it using a Wiimote for controls.

That’s right, the very device used to play WiiSports is now playing a new game! I have included a video of their demonstration that you can view after the jump, and it is something to see and hear.

Man, what I wouldn’t give to try this out. Of course, with great power, comes great responsibility. I realize that this cliché from Spider-man is getting worn out, but do you really want to take the blame for hurling a car into building with the accidental flick of a Wiimote? Just knowing that I had that power would be a real kick, though.

So maybe this Wiimote makes the work of grappling easier, but I have another use: Skill Crane. Yes, this Wiimote-powered grapple could be useful on a new type of game show where the contestant must sift through a pile of wrecked cars to get the real prize: a brand new car.

Of course, that new car would probably be smashed, wouldn’t it? Well, I still like the large skill crane idea.

Sony’s line of Handycam camcorders hark back to the days where optical discs and abundant flash memory were not even available to the masses, and these Handycams can be said to be huge and unwieldy, but that’s the price to pay if you want to preserve your favorite memories in video format. Well, thanks to the advancement of technology over the years, video recorders have become smaller and smaller and yet are more capable than their predecessors. All those factors have resulted in Sony releasing its new HDR-CX520V and HDR-CX500V Handycam camcorders that are more than able to capture full 1,920 x 1,080 high-definition video and up to 12-megapixel stills, storing those on a 64GB or 32GB internal flash memory (depending on the model, of course), which more or less translates to around 25 hours of HD video in LP mode.

Both the HDR-CX520V and HDR-CX500V camcorders will feature 60p output, where your content are automatically converted to 60 progressive frames per second when connected to a compatible high-definition television (obviously, Sony will tell you to use their Bravia line). In addition, avid video enthusiasts will find the Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode feature useful as it comes with a moveable lens element to shift with greater range of motion during camera shake. Along with that you get 3-Way Shake Canceling that will help reduce hand shake in three directions, and these include both vertical and horizontal shake that relies on optical image stabilization while the third uses electronic image stabilization to facilitate corrections for lateral-roll shake.

Inside you will find Sony’s powerful BIONZ imaging processor that boasts a Face Touch function, letting users choose the person’s face to be prioritized by the camcorder when shooting a sea of people. Perfect for loverboys who want to impress their girl who is posing in a crowd. Apart from that, with new technology that can down-convert from AVCHD to MPEG2, Sony does away with the need for a computer, making it a snap to create simple DVDs using the optional DVDirect Express (VRD-P1) DVD writer. Expect to pick up the HDR-CX500V and HDR-CX520V sometime this September for approximately $1,100 and $1,300, respectively.
