MP3 Radio.

MP3 Radio. Freeware MP3 software that talks to you. Works as an alarm clock. And stuff.

Touch key phone.

Fascinating Mitsubishi prototype phone with a touch screen where the keypad should be. Which means that the keypad is infinitely configurable according to function. No name, price or other details, but it’s an interesting idea, no? [Thanks Yash]  Another change over the traditional touch pad screens is that these input screens have the possibility of feedback. On pressing the buttons on the screen, one can feel that they have been depressed like in a normal keypad. Also beautiful is the way…

Sonic alarm.

Not sure what message this Sonic Alarm wake up gidget is sending to our young folk, but it’s sure an interesting way to get them out of bed in the morning. Just pull the pin, lob it into the room and retreat to the cornflakes. We suggest you budget for additional units to replace the ones that go missing out of their suddenly open windows. £9.99.  Simply pull the pin, yell an emphatic “fire in the hole” and lob the grenade into the…

Rock it, man.

I would so like to drop a measly $1.5 mil to hire Sir Elton Bomb for a private concert for me and a couple of mates. Oh yes I would. Oh yes. Hour and a half only though, and travel and production expenses are not included, so…cough…that might bump the price up a tad.  This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows the purchaser and up to 500 guests to experience this phenomenal singer, songwriter, and musician in a singularly intimate performance: an hour-and-a-half of…

Pocket casting.

ComVu’s Pocket Caster is kinda scary, don’t you think? This is a world where everyone will be able to carry around a mobile outside broadcast studio in their pocket. Just strikes muffin here that this could lead to all sorts of stuff. Imagine never knowing who’s filming who, for what purpose or when? DIY reality TV en masse. The beta is free, and there will be free and Pro versions eventually. Mmm….  ComVu has created the world’s first live video broadcast…
