New Sony Notebooks

Sony are introducing a new line of notebooks ready very soon. There are several being launched from the N10 through to the top of the line AR20. What ads to AR20 is the addition of a blu-ray burner and it has a nice 17″ high def screen which boasts a nice 1920×1200 screen size.

Other features which come on this notebook are a hybrid digital and analogue tuner, HDMI output and 2GB ram. This looks like it will be an excellent new range of notebooks and I look forward to testing one of these.

USB Roll Up Piano

Recently I have been seeing more and more USB devices such as Christmas trees, fans and now there is the USB Roll Up Piano. Who knows if this is new or not? It’s new to me, so I will report it still. The older roll up piano has been out a year or so now. The newer version is a smaller USB version which connects direct in to your PC.

The piano can be found on the Argos website and sells for £24.99.

I have never heard of Helium Digital, but they have made a nice headset featuring an LCD display on the side. The number just displays simple information such as the number of the person calling and also gives the connection status which is useful in it’s self with connections occasionally dropping.

iBreath, your iPod-powered breathalyzer

The iBreath is a device which connects to your iPod. The device has a tube sticking out of the side so you can blow down it to measure your alchohol content level. This is accurate to 0.01 BAC. To add a twist to this, the device doubles up as an FM transmitter. It makes you wonder if the device will not work when your level is too high 🙂

The iBreath costs $50 although I think 1 drink is too many to drive! So be careful out there.

TV-B-Gone

This device is good for 1 thing. Switching of pretty much any TV that you point it at. I am not sure if that’s a good thing although it would be entertaining shutting down all the TV’s in a highstreet retail store.

Levitating Clock and Shuttle

Things that levitate are cool 🙂 The levitating clock is no exception to this. It floats with the help of a magnetic field and tells the time also. With the help of a rotating mechanism it will also slowly rotate in the magnetic field also which provides even more entertainment.

To get it working you plug it in, hold the clock in the “sweet spot” and let go. If you get it right it will stay there and float around.
