EleeNo Kion Elite – Nice Watch

March 19, 2007 by Leave a Comment

EleeNo Kion Elite
EleeNo have created the Kion Elite watch. This is another excellent watch on sale from the famous Tokyo Flash. The watch is 100% custom built out of Stainless Steel and has resin inlays. Time can be calculated looking at where the chevrons point to behind the minute arm. The minute arm then works as any regular watch would.

The wrist strap features an interesting butterfly clasp which connects underneath making the wrist strap look seemless also. The watch is also powered by a battery that will see it run for the next 4 years.

Bluetooth Pillow Phone

March 19, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Bluetooth Pillow Phone
I would never have thought up a device like this. The Bluetooth Pillow Phone is a 66cm long pillow with a built in microphone, loudspeaker, lithium ionic battery and LEDs to show the status of the pillow. It is made of Cotton Velvet with a foam inner core.

It’s crazy if you ask me, but I guess perfect for those who first fall in love and spend hours on the phone at night while they fall asleep. It’s too bad that it’s just concept though 🙂

SnoopStick

SnoopStick
The SnoopStick is a way to keep track of computer usage. It seems like it is designed for those who want to keep track of their children or spouses computer habits. It is capable of holding 12 months worth of logs and has the ability to log users off, disable access to the internet.

You do not need to leave the device in the PC to use this software. All you need to do is get around 60 seconds access to the computer and you quickly install some software which comes on the memory stick. The monitoring components are supposedly hidden so that no one knows they are there. To get the information you need to just connect it to any USB port on any computer attached to the internet and it then downloads the latest logs. You do not even have to tell it what to do. Just plug it in, wait and remove it.

I personally think it’s a waste of time and if you feel you need a SnoopStick then maybe it’s time to move the computer in to a more busy room in the house 🙂

Vulcania Watch

Vulcania Watch
I have always been a fan of a good watch, my current being one from TokyoFlash who most of you are probably aware of. However, I came across the Vulcania Watch from HD3 which is another amazing looking watch. It used to be in concept but eventually became a real device. As can be seen in the pictures, the watch works in a deeply set 3D display. The watch can be seen through it’s front and back sapphire glass panels. As can be seen, this is one seriously cool watch. To add to it’s looks, the watch is made of titanium and platinum. Unfortunately only 11 of these watches will be made. If you are lucky to get your hands on one then let us know 🙂

SONY PlayStation 3 – For Medical Research

March 17, 2007 by Leave a Comment

PS3 Medical Research
If your parents ever have a reason not to allow you to buy a Sony Playstation 3 then dont worry 🙂 We now have a new reason, thanks to MegaTechNews for finding it, so you can persuade your parents. There are a number of diseases around which still need to be solved, but the computing power needed is quite high. This is where your PS3 comes in, when it is not in use then the power of the PS3 can be used to help solve questions such as how proteins in the body are formed incorrectly.

Sony worked with Stanford University’s Folding@home project to harness the PS3’s technology to help study how proteins are formed in the human body and how they sometimes form incorrectly.

Improperly formed proteins are linked to a number of diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gherig’s disease, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as mad-cow disease.

BBC News – Popular Now

March 16, 2007 by Leave a Comment

I visit news.bbc.co.uk on a daily basis and today for the first time I noticed some realtime statistics on the bottom of their site. Of course, I was interested to see what this was about as it had a claim of 23236 page views in the last 60 seconds. Traffic amounts like that are going to make me look further. What I found was a cool realtime chart showing stats from what countries in the world traffic is coming from, what stories are most popular and lots more. Check it out over at BBCs site and let us know what you think.

Optimus 103 Keyboard is here – Almost

March 15, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Optimus 103
The Optimus 103, now named the Optimus Maximus was supposidly going to be unveiled at Cebit but unfortunatly it did not arrive. Instead people were presented with pictures like the one above. As well as receiving another name the price also increased to around 800 pounds. You might wonder what you actually get for 800 pounds… Well, each key is not just an average plastic key, it is a polished key with a built in OLED display which means you can edit each key to display what you like on it. Should you want a new language keyboard then just upload it and the keys all change. It sounds posh but I am not sure I could spend 800 quid on a fancy keyboard. What about you guys?

e-Ink – The way Forward

March 15, 2007 by Leave a Comment

eInk
As many of you are aware, it is more difficult to read off the screen then it is a book. Electronic Ink (e-ink) is designed to be easier on the eyes because it doesnt use a backlight to show up the pixels on the page. Electronic Paper is designed to reflect light similar to how paper would. This means that in the dark, you wont be able to see it. Electronic Paper also uses little power consumption. Once the pixels are in place they stay there using no power source.

This eBook from E Ink is a real book and not just concept like some others. It is just 5mm thin and has an 800×600 display. As well as display technology it has Bluetooth so that data can be sent from a mobile device, and it also has a built in SD card slot. With E Paper not being able to be used in the dark it has a built in light which can flip out. This book from E-Ink is a nice step forwards to bring paper in to the electronic world.

iPhone Accessories

iPhone Accessories
The iPhone is due to be released in June 2007 over in the US. A number of accessories are already being devised such as a screen protector for that huge screen which will no doubt scratch easy. Other accessories to be launched is a bluetooth headset, pictured above and will be compatible with other bluetooth models of phone.

I have mixed impressions of the iPhone and wonder if the high price will still allow it to sell. Most of the phones I have used only last between 12 and 18 months before they start acting up. It will be interesting to see if the iPhone will last longer then 18 months under daily usage.

Google Talk Gadget

March 15, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Google Talk is a gadget which allows you to see which of your friends are online which will be displayed on your personal Google home page. A feature that stood out to me was the GMail Theatre which allowed you to paste in a YouTube URL and then shows a small thumbnail of the video which can then be played right in the messenger window. Another cool thing about Google Talk Gadget is that you can go on to any PC, log in to Google and see who is online. There is no downloading of messenger software needed. It is also cross platform compatible with mac, linux and windows. There are quite a few more features that make this stand out and it is well worth the read over at Google Talkabout. Check out the video below to see it in action.
