The Zero-G is the next cool watch to hit Tokyo Flash. The watch is super slim, unique and as can be expected, it tells the time in a weird way. The watch comes in either black or silver and has a mirrored LCD display. Unlike some other watches from Tokyo Flash, this one is always on and requires no button press to display the time.
The watch is a svelte 1.5mm thick and the watch weighs just 60 grams. It is available from TokyoFlash for 9800 yen.

The P7230 is a new LED based notebook launched by Fujitsu. It falls in to the catagory of ultra portable and comes in 2 colours which are black or white. It weighs just 2.9 pounds and had a small 10.6″ LCD display which is in a widescreen format. For the traveller this looks to be an excellent choice with it’s light weight and small size. The unit is powered by an Intel Core Solo U1400 processor allowing longer battery life which is much needed amongst travellers. A memory card slot replaces the floppy drive, and the harddrive is also shock protected to help keep your data more safe. The price is quite high, but this is what can be expected from the ultra portable range of laptops. Prices start at $1699 and go up higher depending on what options you choose. The Fujitsu is well worth looking out for if you are about to look for a new ultra portable laptop.

If you want a 5.8 inch widescreen LCD putting in the side of your X Box 360 then look no further. This mod which doesnt seem to have a point was created by a mod happy firm and they are offering this mod to anyone who can find a use for it. The screen acts like your TV and displays on the side of your XBox what you would see on the TV. The only real use I can think of is wanting to run media on the device such as music. You can leave your XBox running and not have to worry about switching the TV on. Apart from that I have yet to find a real practical use for this feature. Check out the video after the jump.

This credit sized PMP caught my attention today. It has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and the screen is a 3 inch touchscreen LCD. My first thoughs were that this is a digital photoframe, but I was wrong. It is actually a PMP which has 2Gb of internal memory. Unfortunatly there is no pricing yet but as soon as we find out we will post the details.

The cost of these devices starts around 90 dollars for the smaller of the 2 players.

It has been a while since we wrote about a robot and so I thought I best do that just today 🙂 The Omnibot stands 6.6 inches tall and comes kitted out with a remote control with built in LCD display. The remote control is used to program the robot, and allow for voice control to tell it what to do. As well as following your commands it can play music, dance and respond to various noises such as clapping and other actions. An even newer version is also due out which has a built in camera and coupled with wifi, the pictures of it’s location can be sent to a nearby PC. All sounds cool and good fun and will be available soon in Japan.

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.

The Neo N7 caught my attention today due to it’s large screen and interesting navigation software. The screen is 7 inches although it is only capable of 16k colours which is unfortunate as it would double as a nice movie player and picture viewer had it been capable of much more. Movies can still be played and the device has an SD card slot so that you can play movies off your memory card. Dual core processing is an option but pricing of this option is not currently available. Full specs are after the jump.

Piggy banks come in all shapes and sizes and 99% probably do not fall in to the catagory of being a pig. The bank of life follows along this vein but is cool none the less. This piggy bank has an LCD screen which houses a guy who lives in a house. When money is put in to the bank of life the guys house is upgraded. However, on the flip side we see that when money is taken out then the guy unfortunatly has no savings and ends up sleeping in a shoe box. This is a great idea for children learning to save, or me at almost 30 years of age who still does not save.
The bank of life is available in Japan for around 40 dollars.
