Toshiba Battery Recall

Toshiba are now following Apple and Dell and recalling 340000 laptop batteries. They say that the reason is not because of a fire risk but because a small % loose charge. The batteries to be recalled are found in Toshiba’s Dynabook and Dynabook Satellite laptops made between March and May of 2006.

USB Rechargable Battery

Moxia have come up with a genius idea of making a battery that can be charged via USB. The batter is an actual AA battery with the top part which flips open to reveal the USB connector. Just plug the USBCell in to your PC/Laptop and it will charge. They cost around £12.99 for a pair which is not bad considering you do not need to carry around a battery charger.

The down side of the batteries are that they are not as powerful as rechargeables which are already lower then regular AA batteries. Still, I think this is a good idea and very handy to have a couple of these around in emergencies.

Available in the UK for 12.95 at FireBox

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.

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.
