Wind Up Socket Concept Timer
Here is an interesting concept that allows the user to save energy, the easy way.
Think of it as a power strip made up of egg timers. Even if you’re too young to know what an egg timer is, you can still figure out how to use it. Just turn it to the proper setting, and it will tick down until the bell goes off. It’s technology that has been almost completely replaced with digital clocks. My children have never seen one, I’m sure.
The Wind up Socket is designed to save energy by plugging in your device, and then turning it to the time that you want it to run. It’s perfect for devices that don’t need to be always plugged in.

Chinavasion G182 robot vacuum cleaner
Sure, Roomba has that whole remote control vacuum going on, but Chinavasion (not Chinavision) has the G182, a robot vacuum cleaner with IP WiFi enabled camera.
Why would you want to do that? So you can go online and vacuum your house from a first-person point of view, of course. Granted, I wouldn’t want to do that, but its web-enabled IP camera has a microphone with a 360 degree pan and tilt IP camera design. Can the user program it to roam around the room and film things? Why else have a microphone on it?
So if you are at work, and you just learn that guests are coming over, you can just go online and suck up the dirt. Of course, I don’t see how you can turn on the vacuum from a distance, as it has a toggle switch right on it.

Intersection Signaletique gives you signs from above
This concept project is one that I would love to see on any city street at night. The Intersection Signaletique uses special projectors from above to create messages on the streets, and its use is three-fold: advertisement, direction, and decoration.
As advertisement, it could be quite effective. Just imagine walking home, and you are wicked thirsty. Then imagine the Coca-Cola logo under your feet. I don’t know about you, but I would probably stop by the nearest store and get a Coke for the way home. Granted, the streets would get pretty gaudy with multiple advertisements, but advertisers could boost the town’s economy by paying for “street space”.

Bodium’s Rubber-Wrapped Appliances
Admittedly I greatly enjoy cooking and I’ve started to become a slight appliance addict. One thing I’ve noticed is that most of them out there are practically the same. This line from Bodium is a breath of fresh air in comparison to the rest. It’s perfect for women that prefer tough looking kitchen appliances or for guys that want that power tool feel in the kitchen.
Digital Cameras
JVC Compact Video Package
Cameras shouldn’t be stuck on dry land when people like to capture what lies beneath the water. When you enjoy the great outdoors a lot, it’s nice to have a camera that can withstand the conditions that come with that. This package deal will allow for your technology to go to more and more areas of the world. With the housing that comes with the camera, you’ll be able to dive into the depths of the water with camera in hand.

Video Note Fridge Magnet
Sometimes it seems as if creators are watching old 1980’s science fiction movies to find gadget ideas. It’s not really that I think the gadget has no point, it’s more that it seems like they have a very outdated view of the future. We’ve probably all watched Back To The Future and this looks like something they’d have hanging on Marty’s future self’s fridge. If you enjoy that sort of style of electronics then this would be the way to leave messages and reminders for your family.

Disney DM005SH diamond cellphone
Himfr.com might not ring a bell with some of you, but for those who are familiar with the workings of those who live in China would definitely have heard of them since they are one of China’s leading B2B search platforms with over 30 B2B industry websites to its name. Himfr.com has already evaluated Disney’s diamond cellphone known as the DM005SH, where it comes with an 8-megapixel camera and a CCD sensor while bringing home a whole lot of bling in the process. The cellphone’s body itself comes with 22 pieces of diamonds of varying sizes, where among them have been arranged to make up the Disney logo. Good thing it comes in three different colors – red, dark blue and white for those who subscribe to the mantra that variety is the spice of life.
