It’s soft, it’s comfortable, it IS it’s own pocket,, it’s a Keyboard?! The Carrypad Elekson Keyboard.

December 6th, 2006 by Fred in Electronic Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets, PC Gadgets

It doesn’t fall down stairs, alone OR in pairs. However, it sure is a slinky little number!

The Carrypad from Elekson seems like a real winner in the “also serves as a keyboard for any device that can receive bluetooth category.”

The advantage here being, if the device you’re syncing with is very small, (Palm, Smartphone, UMPD, or a Bluetooth based Viking named Sven that can decipher bluetooth in his head), then this is the item for you! With the exception of Sven (he scares me) you can place them inside the pouch that is part of the Carrypad and protect your tiny machine while bringing along a full size keyboard.Elekson Keyboard

Yes, not everyone has a tiny device that can utilize this power, but what about those little phones with bluetooth people?! You know you sit there with your bluetooth enabled Treo and wonder aloud, “If I only had tiny tiny hands with which to type upon my lovely device, I’d never need another computer.”

Rather than wallow away tears on that tack, why not go for the Carrypad, and relieve your burden in the opposite direction. A FULL size keyboard is just what you need, you’ve already got the computing power you need, all that is missing is a decent ergonomic answer, and here it is right in front of you!

Sofa Guard shocks pet into submission

December 5th, 2006 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Pet Gadgets

sofaguard.jpgThere is nothing quite like returning home from work after a stressful day at the office, only to unwind on your favorite sofa. Unfortunately, the not-too-bright mutt of yours has cheerfully usurped your throne without your consent, raising your blood pressure yet another notch as you try to reclaim your rightful place without a raised voice. Why not put the Pavlovian principle to the test with the Sofa Guard? Not only do you ensure your throne back home remains YOUR exclusive spot, it will also teach your pet even if you’re not around not to mess with his master’s La-z-Boy.

Parrot Photo Viewer aka Digital Frame

December 3rd, 2006 by Tiago in Electronic Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Parrot Photo Viewer aka Digital Frame

If all the previous digital frames we have mentioned are not good enough for you, maybe one produced by Parrot – a popular French company that makes bluetooth products for cars and home use – will make you feel better.

Sadly, it doesn’t feature Wi-Fi and the great RSS detail for Flickr (like this one) that most people admire, but it can still be considered an average digital photo frame. Read the rest of this entry »

December 2nd, 2006 by Tiago in Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets

Motorola PVP1000 OJO Personal Video Phone

Connectv Football brings soccer action into living room

November 30th, 2006 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets, Toys

plug-n-play-football.jpgNearly every kid in Britain looks forward to those Saturday afternoon kick offs at stadiums all over the country to see their favorite soccer stars in action, and would love to be in the shoes boots of someone earning an obscene £50,000 a week. It is then that they can pick up cool gadgets like the 100″ Home Video Arcade Center without blinking an eye, and get the entire neighborhood gifts for Christmas while having enough left over to purchase an exotic sports car after saving up for a few months. Unfortunately, not everybody has the skills required to make it to the top level, but you can still have your soccer fun minus the adoration of female groupies who want to have your babies with the Connectv Football game.

Xerox develops paper that ‘resets’ itself

November 28th, 2006 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets

xerox-temp-paper.jpgTrees around the world and environmentalists will rejoice with Xerox’s latest news announcement – they have successfully developed a way to make prints that have a one-day expiry date. This means the paper it is printed on can be used over and over again. Although the technology might be in its primitive state, think about the implications of such a quantum leap when it is perfected. Most of us often take a glance at printed material before filing it away somewhere, only to forget about it a few days later. This could spur a whole new generation of office workers who practice the Just-In-Time policy, printing what people need at that very moment and forgetting about it. Recipients of the printout could always scan the printed copy and let the paper “reset” itself the next day.

The new X4 metal detector, now where’d I bury that gold?

November 28th, 2006 by Fred in Childrens Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets, Remote Control Toys, Toys

Sure everybody has the same dream.

Sweeping a beautiful beach filled with scantily clad,,, ok, old folks in Florida with a metal detector to find a spare Rolex, or at least a large amount of change.X4 Metal Detector

Sure you have. Well now you can, and for a change, for a reasonable price! But wait, it gets better!

Rather than swinging the lamest excuse for an all electronic six-iron, you can drive along with a remote controlled metal detector! (it’s not wireless, there’s a 5 foot cord so you do have to follow it like it is a dog and you’re the scooper).
The LiveScience store has the new X4 Detector rover for 29.95$US. What a deal (considering a real detector runs around 300-1000$!

You’ve got to read the writeup on their site, it’s very funny and patronizing all at once! Keep reading for more!
