Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker

2009-10-03T00:56:00.000-07:00

The Indoor Outdoor Wireless Speaker comes in two main parts. The first is a transmitter that hooks up to your laptop or MP3 Player via headphone jack. This transmitter beams the sound to the stereo speaker (that you see in the photo) for a range of 160 feet.

The speaker plays the “rich, full-range sound” that it advertises. There is a volume control on top of the speaker, so the user doesn’t have to go to the transmitter to turn it up or down.

It has a weather-resistant finish for when the speaker goes outside. That finish is probably good enough for a few splashes or some light rain.

As for the dock itself, it seems to be made for an iPod or iPhone. I’m not certain why this dock is only AC powered, but the speaker can run off on 4 D batteries or AC power.

Sony PSP Go

Carpet Radio and your the Antenna

2009-09-30T10:37:00.000-07:00

I’m officially ranking this as the most interesting and obnoxious concept designs I’ve seen lately. The little piece of carpet is hooked up to a radio. It then uses the person standing on the carpet to find a station and uses that person as the antenna as well. You can even check out a video demonstrating someone using it. So this isn’t just something someone drew up in photo shop, It’s actually something that they got up and running.

19-Key USB Numeric Keypad and Optical Mouse

2009-09-30T09:32:00.000-07:00

For those who have notebooks or netbooks, you may have noticed a lack of numeric keypad with your particular model. You could probably get a USB numeric keypad if you really wanted one of those, but you are probably going to also have to purchase a mouse.

Why not combine those purchases with the Adesso 19 Key USB Numeric Keypad? In addition to having the number pad, the mouse has 1000 dpi resolution. It is a lot smoother than a usual mouse.

The keypad has a transparent cover that flips up when in use, and closes conveniently when not needed. The keypad is perfect for quick calculations on the Calculator program, or for more complex accounting calculations for Quicken or Microsoft Money.

As an added bonus, it has a glowing scroll wheel. The Adesso Keypad mouse is completely driver-free, so it plugs right in, and it is easily recognized.

Want a Robot to obey your thoughts

2009-09-29T12:07:00.001-07:00

The Robo-One is sort of a battlebots style competition, and I suppose that thoughts really are the best interface for that. Unfortunately, this is about all the information my sources have about this.

In other words, I have no idea if the user has to “think real hard” in order to get this robot to move, or if thinking about other things will distract the robot as well as the user.

A thought based interface is probably the best choice for any type of robot manipulation. It’s a lot better than that keyboard that the bad guy used to control Deadpool in at the end of that Wolverine movie. I mean, he has to type in “DECAPITATE” for crying out loud.

However, robots that are controlled by our thoughts? That seems a little too science fiction for me. And if there is one thing that science fiction has taught us is that mind and robots don’t mix.

Toshiba Qosmio X500 notebook

2009-09-28T10:47:00.001-07:00

With the use of Intel’s Core i7 processor, the Qosmio X500 Series notebooks will take advantage of four cores of intelligent processing power, where it is aided by Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology while running on the latest Windows 7 operating system (which will be released sometime in October, of course).

Dont Know Your Stress Level. . . .

2009-09-27T09:54:00.000-07:00

The StressWatch “the mood ring of the 21st century”, but all I can say about it is that someone should have invented it a long time ago.

After all, we live in an age where people wake up at ungodly hours, go to demeaning jobs, come home to face family issues, and barely have time to wind down before they go to sleep. In short, we live in age where everyone is under stress. And if that doesn’t stress you out, then you don’t need the StressWatch.

As you can see from the pic, there is a black bar graph to show your stress levels. The blues and greens that you see there means that you are mellow, but pink, red or orange means you’re one stressed out fellow. I am going to assume that it reads your pulse, sweat from your wrist, or something.

Not only that, it can also tell the time. So that way you can get to your next appointment, so that you can always stay ahead and…I suppose that deadlines are the source of our stress, isn’t it? Just breathe deep and think calming thoughts to get back into the safe zone.

Well, this device is merely concept as now, but it deserves to be made reality. I could use a little reduced stress now.

iTwin allows for easy file-sharing

2009-09-20T12:43:00.000-07:00

What you see in the picture here is the iTwin. It isn’t a thumb drive with two USB connections, but a way of transferring your files from one computer to another.

Sure, you could just set up a mainframe network, send a file as an attachment, or just put the file you want on a thumb drive and plug it into another computer. Yes, there are a lot of ways to do file transfers from one computer to the other, but iTwin makes the process a lot easier.

Here’s what you do. The iTwin comes apart into two equal parts. You stick one USB thumb into one part, then the other thumb into another computer. From there, you can drag and drop files from one computer, and it will automatically appear on the other computer.

Yes, the iTwins are connected wirelessly via the Internet, just like the bond between two twins. At least the ones that are psychic.

The creators of the iTwin hope to have this out on the market sometime early next year for a price of $99. You might think that is a lot to spend for this file-sharing device, but you should ask yourself how much you would spend to make your life easier.

It also will make your coworkers endlessly curious as to what is so special on your USB drive that you need something as complex as this.

iTwinge. . .Keyboard for iphone !!!!

2009-09-17T04:21:00.001-07:00

Most people are just fine with the keyboard that comes with their iPhone. However, there are always a few that have a hard time with that sort of thing. Especially if you have the tendency to be a little clumsy with typing things out on the iPhone keyboard. Really the iPhone is pretty good about making it user friendly as far as typing goes, but this iTwinge keyboard is one alternative.

It might make things a little easier for some, or at least more comfortable. It does give you back the feel of a real keyboard. It might even make it possible for you to type things out faster, which is always nice. In order to use it just plug it in and turn it on. As of now the keyboard isn’t out, but you can expect to see it being shipped out as of November 19th. Right now you can pre-oder the iTwinge for $29.99. For those interested, it’ll work with both the iPhone 3G and 3G S.

2009-09-16T02:51:00.000-07:00

Now Talk With Your Fingers

2009-09-16T02:17:00.000-07:00

For those of you who are sick of the convenience of Bluetooth earpieces and want to live your dream of talking to your fingers like pretend phone from your childhood should look into this concept device.

Designed by BCK, a team from Argentina, its a very simple concept. The user talks to the hand using the yellow ring that fits halfway down the little finger, and then listens with the pink ring on the thumb. (Why is the thumb look like its been drawn on the picture?)

This is one concept that probably won’t catch on, ever. Unless you can make a display to put on the palm. Maybe there is some alternate reality where this technology came into fruition.

Nokia X-6

2009-09-13T01:57:00.000-07:00

Nokia’s recently announced handset, the Nokia X6, looks set to take over the XpressMusic line by offering you up to 35 hours of continuous music playback before requiring a trip to the nearest power outlet. In addition, the 32GB of internal memory alongside a memory expansion slot clearly places this on par with the iPhone when it comes to being a portable audio player, barring the user experience, of course. It does claw some ground by including a slick 3.2″ finger touch interface though, boasting a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio that is optimized for photos, videos and browsing. You can also connect to the Ovi Store directly, letting you remain connected to a maximum of 20 friends and virtual communities always through your homescreen. The Nokia X6 will retail for 450 Euros before taxes and subsidies, as the Finnish cellphone manufacturer prepares to get it ready for shipping come Q4 2009.

Usb To Kill Mosquitos???????????

2009-09-12T12:45:00.000-07:00

The USB device is definitely portable if nothing else, which is always nice. Just plug it into your USB port of your laptop or main PC and it will get to work. It doesn’t use any chemicals, so it’s a slightly more environmentally way to do things. At least according to the seller. Hey, you might just like to carry your laptop into the woods with you. Then this could be a perfectly practical gadget to have around. You can purchase it for $5.69 from UXSight.
