Mini Risers keep it simple

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

My all time favorite accessories always seem to be the incredibly simple solutions. The ones you really feel like you should have been smart enough to come up with on your own, but didn’t. These Mini Risers are one of those items. They don’t go overboard with big fans that you don’t always need. Instead they just simply raise up your laptop to allow for all of that hot air to escape.

Truthfully, my laptop does get hot like most laptops out there, but I’ve never felt like it was really enough for me to rush out and buy an electronic laptop stand with dual fans. I’ve had laptops before that need their own window air conditioner, but for my current one these Mini Risers would work perfectly. If you think those little wire things will sit awkwardly in your laptop bag, you should check out their product site. They have a picture that shows the perfect way to carry it without taking up extra space. These come in a total of 10 colors, some falling in the subtle category while others go for that eye popping effect. You can purchase these in sets of 2 for all of $7.95.

Robotic Wheelchair to Follow You

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

I’m not certain what comes to your mind when you read the words “robotic wheelchair” in the headline. Perhaps a normal wheelchair that is pushed by a robot like C3PO, or one that runs on completely on automation (like an R2-D2 wheelchair, if we can extend the Star Wars metaphor).

Actually, this is a concept project from the Saitama University Human and Robot Interaction Center. As you can see from the picture, there is no separate robot doing the pushing, but the wheelchair behind the person in the photo is automated, to some degree.

The wheelchair has a built-in distance sensor and camera system that can track the position of someone in front of them, and follow them. It can also follow someone who is on the side of them, which is easier for conversation.

This robotic wheelchair is definitely handy for temporarily alleviating wheelchair controls, which can be clumsy and awkward at times. It also comes in handy in rest homes and hospitals, where understaffed facilities can lead to one person pushing two wheelchairs at a time. If robotic wheelchairs are used, then it is possible that a train of wheelchairs can follow one person.

I guess this is the future, and I suppose it won’t be long before we see it being used all over. For now, it is still a concept.

USB Turtle Optical Mouse

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

I swear turtles are quickly becoming the new frogs. Before there were tons of frog themed household items, but turtles being just as lovable, are quickly catching up. This Tortoise Turtle USB Mouse is one way to show your love for the little guys. For being a novelty mouse it still looks comfortable to use, which is definitely not always the case.

The turtle has all the usual features, it’s USB powered, has a scroll button as well as the typical 2 buttons. It’s also, thankfully, an optical mouse. It says it’s comfortable for both right and left handed use, but being a left handed person I can’t say that I’ve ever had the urge to use the mouse with my left hand. It’s currently in stock and ready to be shipped, all you have to do is pay the $15.99 charge. You can find it through Source Square.

GE Visible You makes you a dancing skeleton

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

This is GE Visible You, on display at the Shanghai Expo. As you can see, it can help the user to act out their body as a living X-ray.

I’m sure that you’re probably wondering how this could be, as X-rays create a lot of harmful radiation. No, think of this like an application of the Microsoft Kinect. (Oh, a Kinect App, is there such a thing? Will there be?) As far as I know, it has nothing to do with the Kinect, though.

All the user has to do is stand in front of it, and it somehow reads you like a scanner and turn you into a moving skeleton. By the way, it can also scan you and give you a simulation of your muscular system and cardiovascular system. Of course, even though this is a real-time scan, don’t count on it finding any tumors.

Yes, I suppose this is one step closer to the X-ray screens that we saw in the movie Total Recall. They might be good at finding a gun, but I look forward to it when it can quickly find medical problems.

Until then, I hope that GE can somehow manufacture these things, and then put them in amusement parks or something. I wouldn’t mind letting one of these things scan me so I can see my interior organs on display.

USB Anion Air Purifier

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

Someday there will be no gadgets left that cannot be powered by a USB port. They’ll all be shrunk down and in many cases suddenly be made much more cheaply. There are times when that’s not necessarily good, but on occasion it makes certain devices very handy. Like this little air purifier that plugs into your USB port. It’ll make sure that you get clean air while you’re glued to your computer.

This air purifier works by emitting healthy negative ions into the air. Then by attaching themselves to air molecules and any impure particles in the air it negatively charges them. This will get rid of toxic substances in the air like odors, dust, mold and hopefully will help to rid you of that sweaty smell coming from the guy with serious pit stains. Hopefully. You can purchase one of these for $19 through USB Brando.

Digi-Bike to raise awareness on leaving valuables aside

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

If you hang around in Las Vegas for a few minutes, you’ll see these “billboard trucks” that serve no purpose other than to drive around with a giant-sized advertisement. They usually have pretty girls on them, for reasons that I won’t bother to explain here.

Apparently, this is the same purpose of the Digi-bike. Don’t ask me why it is called a bike, because it is a four-wheeled contraption. Perhaps Digi-wagon could be a better description.

The Digi-bike is some sort of weird contraption with a digital billboard with one purpose, as far as I know. It is designed to reduce the number of robberies in Dudley, UK.

Apparently, the billboard gives to raise awareness among people carrying valuables. Considering I once left my camera behind in a booth at E3, I would appreciate a friendly reminder. By the way, my camera was returned to me, and I’m assuming that it has nothing to do with this style of reminding.

So far, the plan for the Digi-bike will include coverage for Castlegate Leisure Park, Russells Hall Hospital car park, the zoo, the bus station, and the Tesco store at Burnt Tree Island.

I can’t help but wonder what else you can use the Digi-Bike for besides advertising. Maybe you can think of something.

Sprint announces pricing and availability of Epic 4G smartphone

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

The latest and greatest Android smartphone to date has just been priced, alongside its availability date announced. We’re talking about the Sprint Epic 4G from Samsung, where it holds the distinction of being America’s first 4G-capable phone that will come complete with a full QWERTY keyboard as well as a brilliant Super AMOLED touchscreen display. This could very well be the perfect all-in-one device that you’ve been looking for to stay connected, get work done while enjoying entertainment even when you’re on-the-go. Apart from that, the Samsung Epic 4G is the only 4G handset from the Galaxy S smartphone family, where it will also be distinctly different thanks to the presence of a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Mark August 31st on your calendars as that is when the Samsung Epic 4G will be available, and you can get it from all Sprint retail channels, not to mention Sprint.com, Telesales (1-800-SPRINT) and national retail partners, RadioShack, Best Buy and Walmart. The price to pay for such exclusivity? We’re talking about a pretty affordable $249.99 that will include a new line or eligible upgrade, a two-year service agreement, and after a $100 mail-in rebate with taxes excluded. Of course, you can always place your pre-order from Friday onwards – who says that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day? Just make sure you do so earlier since it will be available only while stocks last.

This Android 2.1-powered smartphone will also allow you to make data input on a virtual keyboard as well as Swype technology apart from the already mentioned slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. Other industry leading features of the Epic 4G includes a Samsung 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird Application Processor, a 5-megapixel camera/camcorder with autofocus, power LED flash and 4x digital zoom for photos and HD video (720p) video recording at the back alongside a front-facing VGA camera for video chat, Wi-Fi connectivity, Mobile Hotspot capability and a 1500 mAh removable battery.

Dell Streak arrives in the US at long last

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

The Dell Streak has had its fair chance to shine in the UK for some time already, so it is now the time for folks in the US to play with the Streak. Dell has just made available their 5″ tablet device to North America, but not without some initial snags already. It seems that while you are able to pick it up for $299.99 with a new 2-year AT&T contract, there is also an option to do so for a rather $549.99 without. The snag? Even if you want to put in a SIM card from another carrier, you can’t, simply because the Dell Streak is carrier locked to AT&T. That’s a bummer for folks who prefer services from other providers, but we are pretty sure that hackers who see this as a delightful challenge will do their level best to unlock the Dell Streak in due time.

Orders for the Dell Streak Tablet should have started from today onwards, where the Streak will be released tomorrow. Before we proceed further, here are some details on the Streak – this carbon black Android-based tablet will come equipped with a 5-inch display, where it aims to function as more than just a portable media player, providing excellent “on-the-go” entertainment, social connection, and navigation experience. It comes with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, while 3G support enables easy access for downloading and listening to music, updating social networking status in real-time, and staying connected to friends and family through e-mail, text, IM, and voice calls, wherever you are.

The 5-inch display is also great to present Web pages in their natural form, making it nearly as good as the smallest netbook. With a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor within, you won’t find the Streak gasping for breath as it goes about with your daily business. Integrated Google Maps offer turn-by-turn navigation, street and satellite views, while a high resolution 5-megapixel camera lets you capture memories vividly wherever you are at that moment. Its 2GB of internal memory can be further augmented using a microSD memory card.

Intersecting Slot Car And Train Set

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | Coolest Portable Gadgets | No Comments

Buses and trains, cars and trucks. These are all favorite playthings for children, so why not get your holiday shopping done earlier this year with the Intersecting Slot Car And Train Set? It isn’t going to be cheap, mind you, burning a cool $299.95 in your pocket in the process, but at least this racing toy will bring together the throttle-happy thrill of a slot car set alongside the steady lumbering of a train set. Thanks to the track’s single intersection, it enables racers to replay that ever tense situation of beating the train to avoid high-velocity impacts, and it will require an innate sense of timing for your competitor to remain stranded at the crossing until the train passes. Hand-trigger controllers will be used to tear around the track’s seven curves, where one of them even includes a 180º hairpin turn for added challenge. The train itself comprises of a locomotive with a working headlight, four freight cars, and a caboose, and it can also move forward and reverse using the included transformer/controller. Each purchase comes with 11 pieces of track for slot car set, 15 pieces for the train set. Looks like kids aren’t the only ones to have fun with this…
