We love RC helicopters here such as the Picoz Micro RC Helicopter, and other variations. If you are a fan of RC helicopters and would like to build your own then check out the site linked below. It details the steps that one guy took to build his own helicopter. No doubt, you need to have some good skills to create one of these indoor beauties and no doubt if you are not skilled then you best dish out 30 quid and buy one already made.

Another Wiiwote hack for you all. This time we see the wiimote controlled roomba. As usual, the wiimote controlls the roomba and when tilted, twisted and turned etc… the roomba will follow these movements.

Fuel Cells are going to be a good way forwards for portable power when you need it. Fuel Cells run by a fuel which can be topped up when needed and provides a nice amount of time per cell. Samsung have created an 8 hour fuel cell although it does look a tad ugly at the moment.

The wall mounted CD player is concept right now and is designed to look great when hanging on the wall. It has an illuminating surface which looks good both on and off. In the middle when switched on is a sensor plate which houses the controlls. The surface of the player can have a small magnet attached which turns the surface of the device in to a speaker.

There are tons of USB devices out now ranging from the seasonal christmas tree, rool up piano and more. We now have the rechargeable USB shaver which is charged via your laptop. This is very useful for the business traveler who forgets their regular shaver or a compatible power supply. There isnt too much to the USB shaver. It has an LED which lights up when it is being charged and the USB connector which can fold in to the case to compact it even more.
It weighs just 74 grams and power consumption is low and it shouldnt kill your battery in your laptop.

I am not one for writing about jewellery on the gadget venue dot com blog, but when it involves magnetic jewellery then I though it was cool enough for a mention. Mag-net-ic is a cool set of magnetic cylinders that appear to be very powerful. There are probably a good 40 – 50 of these small magnetic cylinders which hold together very strongly. They can wrap around your wrist and you would probably spend a good amount of time each day playing around with them and making them in to different shapes. Check out the video below and let us know what you think.

Wireless HD has been mentioned for a while now and Neosonik are going to be showing off their wireless HD video and audio kit at next months CES. The new A/V controller can apparantly transmit the uncompressed data wireleslly. This will be a great step forwards although I do wonder if they can send the infomation uncompressed with it being so detailed and needing a lot of bandwidth. Who knows… I hope that they do impress us all at CES. The kit will set you back 6k dollars for the controller, 15k for the receiver and I believe it includes speakers in that.
