ChinaVision WristWatch CVESG-S818-2




It seems like nowadays no one’s carrying a watch anymore. I mean, why would you, you have your telephone that you can check whenever you want to know weather you will be late or not and, really now, to have on you a device that is only good for ONE thing is pretty odd now.
Yeah, the same thing occurred to the guys from

Chinavision so they decided to improve the old wristwatch so they added just a bit new things that it is able to do. So they went on and equipped it with a 1.8 LCD windscreen.

Oh, but you don’t imagine that little (literary little) beauty is just for telling you what time it is? Of course not! The CVESG-S818-2, as they call it, can take on MP3, WMA WAV files and also converted MTV video files so you won’t be bored with your new watch.

And of course to such a multifunctional device you would want a nice display photo, wouldn’t you? Good, because it can also support JPEG photo files. It hosts also a text viewer so it can be also a new and improved way of cheating at an exam. It has 2 GB of memory so don’t worry, you’ll have space for anything you want. The CVESG-S818-2 is also equipped with an internal speaker, voice recorder, USB 2.0 connectivity FM radio, six equalizer settings and a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack.

The headphones are mostly used in order not to disturb or draw attention to ones self but once you have this gizmo I am quite unsure about the drawing of attention, I mean, you have a screen on your wrist!
Anyways, like all the things this tiny device can’t do aren’t amazing enough already let me tell you the price: a little over 56$! So let me ask you this, what are you still waiting for?

Digital Microscope




I imagine thinking about what lays between the keys of your keyboard send shivers down your spine. I mean, just imagine, whole nations of bacteria working on devouring the dead skin cells that you left behind. Was that descriptive enough? Yeah, probably that image was the one the guys from ThinkGeek had in mind when they developed the USB Digital Microscope. So from now on you can observe the little world you have created inside your keyboard specifically and everywhere around you in general.
You just have to connect the USB Digital Microscope to any USB slot in your computer. After that install the software available for the device and all the things you target its lens toward will appear enlarged on the screen of the computer. While doing that the gadget is able to take photos or record movies of the targeted objects. The lens is able to enlarge the objects with up to 200x. You can also move the device so that you can get closer to things or enlarge those that are further away from you.
Those of you who have a hobby out of things like forensics, inspection or jewelry quality this is the perfect gadget. While you magnify, the targeted object is lit up with four LEDs. The photos that the microscope can take have a resolution of 1024 x 768. You can buy the device for only 180$.

T-Mobile BlackBerry




T-mobile decided to finally release its own BlackBerry. Up to now the had only had the Cingular cell phone. The only downside of this gadget would be the low quality of the photos it takes, but hey, for that you can buy a professional camera and you’ll get the quality no phone can offer you. And besides, the BlackBerry 8800 is on sale for just 249.99$.

The device is easy to carry around because of its lightness and the fact that it can easily fit in you pocket. The little trackball used for navigating slowly vibrates when you handle it. It has a built-in GPS and it’s keys appear so nicely back lit that you can’t help falling in love with it. Look at the picture and you’ll just have to run out and buy yourself one.

Xent X3 PMP




Piet Mondrian was the Dutch artist that inspired the creation of the new Xent X3 PMP. This device is the classical type of multi functional gadget. It has a 7” LCD screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, the already classical GPS function and a DMB antenna. As accessories you have a remote control and a car stand.

Everything from MP3, DivX, Xvid, WMV9, MPEG4 and 2 can be handled by the new Xent X3 PMP. It has a The Xent X3 can handle Alchemy AU1200 500 MHz processor. Although the memory it provides you with is only of 128 MB of DDR2 SDRAM and 32 MB of Flash ROM, the gadget comes also with memory card slot so you can increase the devices capacity.


The batteries can hold you for up to three hours and it runs on WinCE 5.0 ones. The Xent X3 PMP is equipped with four speakers; two of 1.2W and two of 1.5W and you can also buy a nice dock to go with them. The Xent X3 PMP is produced in Korea but the shipping fee is not that expensive.

Digital Locket by Kodak with LCD screen

Remember the old picture lockets that your mother or grandmother wore? Well, if you look in the picture you may think that’s exactly what you’re seeing, but oh, you are so sadly mistaking. What you are really looking at is Kodak’s latest development, digital camera in shape of an antique locket designed by non other then Lindsey Picket.











After designing a cell phone for Samsung Global Sponsorship in 2005, it seems like Picket as switched sides and designed this fabulous device for Kodak..

Actually, the 1881 as they called the camera works on the same principle as grandma’s locket worked: saving and preserving the pictures you love. The difference is that now you see them on an LCD screen at an amazing accuracy. But that’s such a “tiny” difference, isn’t it?

You can take a photo, either while the locket is closed or, watch it as you take it, to make sure the positioning is correct, on the LCD screen

So now you can get both a camera and a piece of jewelry in one package. Well, I’m not complaining but still, I wonder what they’ll think of next.

Slimmest LCD



Like the LCD televisions weren’t already thin enough, the guys at CNET decided to out do themselves and designed the slimmest LCD-screen television that is on the market at this point. It is 10 inches thick and has a 58-inch JVC HD-58S998.
It seems though that this catwalk thin television has a problem with displaying perfectly straight vertical or horizontal lines, but if you aren’t blessed with eagle sight and you don’t have obsessive-compulsive syndrome, I don’t quite see why should you would be bothered by that.
Not to mention that according to CNET, this devices creators, the price would be as shocking as the thickness of the television, meaning slim as it. Well, we don’t have the price yet, but still, f you want a DLP set that is close to perfection and you don’t want to your pockets to be as thin as the TV you buy, you should really consider taking a look at this LCD.

Triton's USB Surround Headphones



Triton announces the release of their new AXPC USB Surround Sound Headphones. These headphones, besides being powered by an USB also provide you with true 5.1 audio with only one USB connection. It is also equipped with a detachable microphone that you can use while you’re playing games online and also on VOIP.
A volume adjustment audio control is placed on each one of the ear cups, along with a microphone, and a mute control. Both ear cups have speakers for sub-woofer, front, center and rear.
The software technology provides you with the option of each ear cup to vibrate according to the sound of the game. The stereo surround can go from 2.1 to 7.1 according to your wishes.You can also choose from 23 different settings to custom your gaming experience according to your likeness. So imagine, playing your favorite game and hearing in real time what your enemy is doing behind you. Spooky, no?

Motorola Sunpower

All of todays cell phones are equipped with a rechargeable battery. One of the most important features is how long your battery will hold, both while you are using the phone and while it is on stand-by.










And don’t you hate it when it runs off exactly when your boss wanted to call you about that promotion, or when that party you had to go to was canceled but your phone was dead so you ended up being the goose?

Well, apparently these kind of things happened also to the guys from Motorola, because they decided to develop the first cell-phone that is rechargeable on solar energy. Well it seems like this phone recharges itself taking energy from the sun through his LCD screen. Not to mention that alternative energy sources such as solar energy are the energy sources of the future. It sounds like Motorola have bought themselves place there.

Driv-N Car Computer




Well, now you can feel both as cozy as at home, and as active as in your office with the new Driv-N car computer. It can entertain you by playing MP3s or audio CDs, you can watch movies on the DVD player, you have XM online satellite radio, Internet radio, you can browse the Internet and at the same time remain connected to your home or office PC.

I guess that beats having to do acrobatic moves while writing something in your agenda that’s unsteadily placed on the passengers seat. And latest and greatest of all, the Driv-n can be totally voice controlled. And thanks to the permanent connection to your home or office PC you can access files from either one of the computers, you just have to speak their names.

The Driv-N can be set up either under the seat or in the trunk. Its framework is made solid aluminum and it has a multitude of touch screen options. The radio slides down to leave room for the DVD player. It can be set up either on the roof or on the headrest.

Sansa Shaker



Don’t you just hate it when you don’t hit the right button on your MP3 player and instead of just changing the song you end up shutting it down? Or do you remember those 90’2 CD players that you had to keep perfectly still so your song wouldn’t sound like a crazy DJ’s remix?
Well the Sandisk guys took these two annoying things and blended them into something great. And so the Sansa Shaker was created. This gadget is devised so that it changes tracks when you shake it. Awesome, no?
The device works on one triple A battery and it is equipped also with a SD expansion slot. It has a built in speaker and it comes with two headphone jacks as well. Sadly, it only comes in the colors of pink and baby blue, but you can comfort yourself with the price of only 39.99$. And now, in the end, I’d like to leave you thinking about the torment of a man jogging and listening to the Sansa Shaker.

SciFi Chair




After the development of gaming chairs that move according to the games action and computer beds designed so that you end up being a “computer potato” and never see anything else weather you’re awake or sleeping, now G-Tech Neber releases a chair that confirms the theory that sitting correctly on a chair is so overrated.
This new SciFi chair is at present on show in Korea. The design includes so much chrome, that it actually looks like one of those Matrix chairs - you don’t have to take the blue pill.
The company says that, giving so much support to the back, head, hands, wrists, back and feet, the chair is completely ergonomical. Also, having the curved back, the chair gives you the opportunity to seat in any position you want. Just look at the picture, it looks so cool!

io-Jacket




Although all modern gadgets have the goal to combine good-looks with multifunctional technology and effectiveness, this is so much better then the others! Why? Because you can actually wear it! It has all the cool stuff in it like a Bluetooth and built-in MP3 player or touch sensitive control pads. But the ability through which its promoted is its compatibility with GPSoverIP. It uses a hybrid GPS technology which enables you to look for the person wearing the jacket even inside a building. The person who wears the io-Jacket can upload the information to a mobile phone or to the internet giving the watcher (probably a deranged parent) the opportunity of observing his/her every move. Londefrey, the company which produces it has sold one for humanitarian causes carrying out an auction in the purpose of saving money for the “Humans for Humans” foundation. It seems though that none other have been made for commercial purposes so we just have to sit and wait.

SGH i400 smartphone




Samsung released this little beauty, the SGH i400 smartphone. Although we already got used to Samsungs S60 Sliders, this one has the Symbian OS trademark in the upper-left corner. It is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera to make sure you don’t miss out on taking really cool photos even if you don’t own a genuine digital camera.

Sonic Screwdriver



This Sonic Screwdriver is a gadget for all those Doctor Who fans that weren’t satisfied with just th Tardis USB hub. Remember that saying, “if it’s made like a screwdriver and it looks like a screwdriver, it must be a screwdriver”? Oh, and you are so very wrong! It actually has a pen on one head and a beam of UV light at the other.
So now you you can write anything you want with UV ink and not worry about other people reading it. Just imagine handing your boss an amazingly favorable report and between the lines your real thoughts. Ha, ha, ha what a subtle revenge. And the revenge costs only 12.99$ and 3 AG 13 batteries. Small price to pay!

Pillete



Pillete, the new concept of Bluetooth headset is so tiny, it’s almost invisible to the untrained eye when you are wearing it. So you don’t have to worry anymore about looking like Robocop when walking down the street with it, but you have to consider the possibility of people starting to think you’ve lost your marbles and you’re talking to yourself.
The downside is the fact that people have different sized ears and the device might be to small and slip out or to big and not fit. People who often use earphones will tell you I’m right. But once they’ll figure out a way to make the Pillete adjustable, this design will be the future of all headsets.
