FC Mobile Portable Console
Here’s another more or less useless gadget. This portable gaming console can play original NES games. That’s right, you can put those old, huge cartridges in it to play them. Why this is such a bad idea? One, a NES cartridge is twice the size of the console itself. Two, there are plenty of emulators [...]
Remote Controlled VTOL Aircraft
This plane is an attempt at making a VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) remote controlled plane that’s not a helicopter. While it’s not a very good one (it’s essentially a four bladed helicopter with wings to disguise it as a plane), it still looks pretty cool. It’s quite easy to fly, and most important, it [...]
AirDock iPod Docking Station
One of the advantages of the iPod (yes, I do think there are some good things about it altough I probably wouldn’t get one) is the huge number of accessories that’s available. A popular accessory is the docking station. It is used for connecting the player to your computer and charging the battery, but also [...]
Ultra-tiny HP laptop
Tiny laptops seem to be the newest hype. There’s the Asus EEE PC, and of course the way too expensive Macbook Air. HP has jumped on the bandwagon and here’s the result: the HP Mini-Note.
Here are some of the specs. It has a 1.2 ghz VIA C7 CPU, 1 gigabyte of ram and a 120 [...]
Microwave & Toaster
A common joke when a cellphone with lots of useless extras and addons is announced is: “Does it also have a built-in toaster?”. No such phone has that feature yet, but this microwave oven does! Not too much to say about it. A regular microwave oven and a regular toaster put together.
Perhaps a good application [...]
Rapid Glass
A cracked windshield can be pretty dangerous. Once the glass is broken, even if it’s just a tiny crack, the strength of the entire windshield is reduced and it can easily shatter at unexpected moment. If your windshield gets damaged in any way, you should have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Rapid Glass, [...]
Fujitsu F-A50
Fujitsu has announced an all-in-one desktop pc that seems to be inspired by the iMac. Computers like this are, in fact, laptops disguised as desktops. The specs don’t really look that impressive:
16″ widescreen display (wich is just too small for a desktop)
2.1 ghz Intel core duo
2 gb of ram
250 gb harddrive
integrated X3100 graphics
wifi
Unless it’s cheap, [...]
Lumin Lamp
Candles may be romantic, but not exactly high tech. Let’s face it: you’re lighting up your place with something invented by cavemen! The Lumin Lamp is a mood light for the 21st century. Instead of burning hydrocarbons, it uses led lights to create a pleasant glow. It’s equipped with a 7 watt led bulb, wich [...]
High Definition Camcorder
With HD TV finally becoming more mainstream, camcorders simply have to follow. And here are a few nice ones to start with: the Aiptek HD Camcorders. Both cameras can record in 1280×720 resolution af 30 frames per second, and can store up to two hours of video on a 4 gb memory card. They have [...]
Tube Amps for the iPod
Definitely one of the most expensive accessories for the iPod you can think of: a tube amplifier! Claimed to sound better and ‘warmer’ (whatever that may mean) than transistor amplifiers by audiophiles, these tube amps have been designed to act as iPod docks. I doubt these things sell well, because the same people who claim [...]
