Keomo Solar Powered GPS Receiver – perpetual motion in action

The Keomo Solar Powered Bluetooth GPS Receiver is so logical it’s a wonder it took so long to arrive on the market. GPS receivers for the most part sit on car dashboards facing the sky, so what better way to power them than using a small solar array rather than all those nasty cables into lighter sockets. The internal rechargeable batteries also provide 100 hours operation, with a trickle charge we assume.  In addition to the excellent chipset, the dual power mechanism (battery…

RelaxOne – isolate yourself from your troubles

Ah well…  The active relaxation is essentially provoked by listening to the especially composed music, through the acoustic system of the chair. The music is not only perceived by the ears, but also…

SD TV – smallest television set in the world?

The Telebit SD TV is probably the smallest television set in the world. OK, so it doesn’t come with a screen, but throw us a bone here, OK? It weighs a paltry 5g, works with Windows Vista and is guaranteed to improve the script of Dangerous Housewives tenfold. Nope, we’re lying about the last part. No price as yet, but you can bet it won’t be as small as the unit itself. More here.   Tags: SD+television

Charging Desk Lamp – light meets lithium loveliness

The Charging Desk Lamp had us a bit confused at first. Who and how did it charge? Was anyone hurt as it hurtled towards its target? Then the light dawned and we relaxed back onto our hospital bed. You see you slot your charger into the base and then use the lamp’s dock to charge up your device. So there you have it, 140 watts of natural daylight illumination coupled to a fancy pants cell phone, PDA and MP3 player charging station….

The PCE Station – the ultimate vapour chair

Four years after we first reported on the PCE (Personal Computing Environment) Station, it looks as though it’s still as far away from mass production as ever. Except now the project has a new owner called ParaFin. Wonder if they can sort out the $6000 price and make this a viable product for some time in the future?  PCE’s new environment has been called the “anti-cubicle.” It is a striking C-shaped design that extends one or more LCD monitors directly…

Leica C-Lux 2 – classy pocket snapper

The Leica C-Lux 2 is the new 7.2 megapixel upgrade to the original, and it sure looks nice. Or maybe it’s just our nostalgic yearning for the brand names of yesteryear. After all, what’s so special about a 28mm wide angle zoom lens, 2.5 inch LCD viewfinder and optical image stabilizer? Nothing, that’s what. But it still looks cute.  The high-speed wide-angle 28 mm zoom lens takes stunning, space-grabbing shots. The optical image stabilizer and the intelligent exposure control prevent camera…
