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…
Read MoreTulip Ego Laptop PC – all man-bag and designer
It’s tempting to mock the Tulip Ego Laptop PC as a trivial blot on computing’s manly backside, but actually you’ve got to give it to the Dutch company for trying to break out of the woefully boring notebook design cage. Why should we have grey, white or black as our only choice here in the 21st century? Watch out for a chrome model arriving in May. Tags: tulip+pc, designer+pc, laptop
Read MoreMedTab Washable Tablet Computer – squeaky clean tech
The MedTab Washable Tablet Computer is rugged, pocket friendly, comes with BlueTooth and WiFi connectivity and features a touchscreen and Windows CE pen input.

Hopefully that’s a hygiene thing and nothing to do with unsightly patient stains. Yuck. $4,995.00 (down to $2000 in quantities of over 50). Unlike PDA or Ultra PCs,…

Read MoreRelaxOne – isolate yourself from your troubles
The RelaxOne. An ultra immersive music chair to get you relaxed super fast. And – gasp – there’s no iPod connector. Are these people insane? It’s also a bit of a shame that you end up looking like a regenerative duckling when the thing is in action.

Read MoreSD 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

Read MoreTeeny tiny projectors – one step closer to reality
Texas Instruments has announced a prototype of a tiny DLP pico-projector which is small enough to fit on the tip of your finger.

Don’t hold your breath for it to arrive though, will you? The latest DLP innovation from the world leader in mobile projection solutions enables compelling viewing options that expand beyond…

Read MoreCharging 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….
Read MoreThe 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…
