74 Inch InFocus Projector

February 12th, 2006 by Al in Audio/Video Gadgets

Infocus 76 inch Projector
If you’ve got to have the biggest amongst your mates, forget Plasma’s you need a projector. The new IN72 by InFocus is looking like a good but cheap set-up for any home cinema.

Costing about 850UKP the IN72 is relatively cheap but that is not reflected in the feature list or the sexy black shiny finish (never thought I’d be calling a projector sexy :))

It’s due to be available later this month and you can find full specs on the InFocus site. I’m currently saving for a new screen, hopefully in time to watch England win the World Cup and Newcastle lift the FA Cup of course :).

More info in the Apple store.

The iPod Nano iKitty

January 31st, 2006 by Al in Wacky Gadgets, iPod gadgets

Nano iKittyShockingly we’ve not seen any new iPod stuff for the last few days so were pleased to see yet another Nano case has been released, the Nano iKitty.

As you can probably guess from the name (just in case the picture never gave it away) this holder looks like a cat. You insert your Nano up the cats read end (ouch) and can then rub it’s belly to change tracks etc. Other special features include 4 legs, 2 ears and a really useful bendable kitty tail :confused:

Available from Think Geek for the serious cat lover.

Cardboard Box Speakers

January 26th, 2006 by Al in Audio/Video Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

Cardboard Box Speakers
I’m not too sure what the point of these is but they still look pretty cool, speakers that come in a box that you then take out of the box and make into a box. We thought it sounded strange too.

The cardboard box speakers are exactly that speakers in a cardboard box, whether such expensive casing enhances acoustic quality is unknown but some how I don’t think superior sound quality is the point of these.

Mermory Stick Lego

January 24th, 2006 by Al in Audio/Video Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Mobile Phones, PC Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

Memory Stick Lego HolderBefore my Sinclair Spectrum, Lego was my all time favourite toy. Even my Lego train-set was cool, in fact there wasn’t a single thing that I couldn’t make (when I was 7). Why am I going on about a toy that must be at least 50 years old? Today I saw a picture of a prototype memory card holder that looked just like, guess what, Lego blocks :)

The company behind these keychain cases, Best Rubber Productions have also made such classics as the Silicone Rubber Bracelet, the Silicone Rubber Cover for the iPod and the Silicone Rubber Ashtray. So you can probably guess what these little Lego key chains are made out of. Like conventional Lego they are also stackable so if you have several SD Cards or memory sticks you can store them all together in an infinitely expandable Lego house :).
