In a world where thin screens, laptops, tv’s and phones are the rage it makes you wonder how thin they are going to get before they either roll up in your pocket, or break in to a hundred peices in your pocket. The Samsung Ultra Edition 10.9 is the latest slider phone which is very slim. It’s currently 10.9mm thin and knocks the D900 off the world thinnest slider top spot. What we do like about this is the 3.2 megapixel camera, MP3 and video playback, bluetooth, video output and quite a generous 80Mb or memory. The memory can be increased via a microSD card slot.

If you have ever forgotten to turn the oven on, or off and realise when you are no where near home then this oven is for you! The TMIO Intelligent Oven is a smart oven which can be controlled by the internet, PDA or mobile phone and allows you to send a message to it and tell it to switch on, off and do what ever you want. Of course you will need to prepare the food before hand and put it in there ready for cooking… but it is a nice addition to your kitchen should you need to wait back for a meeting and want the food cooking later in the day rather then when you thought you would be home.
If only it could do your shopping and make the food for you 🙂

LG’s latest multimedia slider is another cool looking phone and one not to be passed. It features a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, WCDMA, HSDPA and MP3 capabilities. By having HSDPA capabilities this allows you to surf the internet at a nice 1.8mbps which is more then enough currently for a mobile phone and will open up more possibilities for smooth streaming of audio and video. With having 2 cameras built in you can use the front facing camera for video calls.

We know that the Wii has tilt sensors in a number of axis in it’s controller which has opened up a cool generation of games. The XBox 360 does not have this feature built in, but some clever bloke at XBox Scene decided to make a custom tilt sensor which takes over one of the analogue joysticks. The custom built solution works by outputting varying voltages according to how far, fast you tilt the joypad. It has a 3 axis accelerometer. With the use of some micro electronics the analogue voltages are converted to digital to determine how far the joypad is tilted and then interpreted and sent to the XBox. Sounds cool and is a great idea if you want to hack up your controller.

For those familier with Ben Heckendorn you will know of the cool and crazy hacking he does to consoles that are both of current and past status. There has been an XBox 360 laptop all the way down to an Atari 2600 handheld console. The list of these consoles is huge. To add to this list there is now a Wii Laptop which has just been created. It took the last month or so and features a 7 inch widescreen LCD, Stereo Sound, Gamecube controller port, a short range built in sensor bar and it’s all crammed in to a nice sized case. To add to this, Ben is also going to be making step by step instructions on making your home Wii laptop which will have detailed diagrams.

I came across a cool watch today from Urwerk named the Hammerhead 201. The watch costs 25000 pounds and is one nice looking timepeice. The watch has telescopic minute hands that move in and out of the three rotating cubic hour satellites. What on earth that means I have no idea… but it looks good. More details can be found over at Gizmodo.
