USB Mirror Ball

March 10th, 2007 by Al in USB Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

USB Mirror Ball

Remember this mirror balls you used to have at old school discos, now you can relive the moment at you PC with the USB Mirror Ball.

I thought these looked pretty tacky the first time but hey add a USB connector to them and they’re still tacky.

The USB mirror ball is available from Drink Stuff for £10.99 (which would probably be better spent on stuff to drink).

Home Theater Watch: Watch Movies on your Wrist

March 5th, 2007 by Nick in Audio/Video Gadgets, Cool Clocks, USB Gadgets

Home Theater Watch

This is not your regular wrist watch. The Home Theater Watch was designed to give you the experience of a home theatre with the functionality of a watch. With it you can tell time and watch that movie from the Oscars or that latest Heroes episode anywhere. The screen is only 1.5”, but that’s not so bad, after all this is a watch we’re talking about, and according to Gadget Universe the movies will look the same as they would on your PC.

Recover Stolen Gadgets

February 28th, 2007 by Dan in Miscellaneous Gadgets, USB Gadgets

No more worries about losing an iPod or a USB flash memory with important information inside (well, honestly you should still be worried, but at least now you have a backup plan!).

GadgetTrack is a service that enables you to track down stolen or lost USB devices by installing some agente files on the gadget. Once the device is connected to a new computer (must be running Microsoft Windows) it will connect to the GadgetTrack server and report the following information:

  • Public IP Address
  • Country, City and postcode
  • Computer name
  • Host name of ISP

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 Flash Drive Review

February 27th, 2007 by Al in Gadget Reviews, USB Gadgets

t22gb_front_open_angle.jpgWe’ve received quite a few cool gadgets to review this year (most of which we’ll be giving away (to be announced shortly)). One gadget that I’ve been playing with for the last few months is the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB USB Flash Drive (apologises to Jamie for the excessive time this review has taken).

The Cruzer Titanium is one tough flash drive, it boasts the ability to withstand 2,000 lbs of crush force (which we put to the test with the help of a friends’ grossly over-sized MPV). One of the weak points on many similar sticks is the USB connector, the Cruzer avoids this problem by having the connector slide in and out of the casing (this even protects it from manic drivers who are on a USB destroying rampage).

Islamic Gadgets

February 26th, 2007 by Paz in Cool Clocks, USB Gadgets

Quranic watch

I know personally that many Muslims are feeling under siege, both mentally and physically, and believe they are getting a bad press. Relations between our two cultures seem to be deteriorating, so I hope I’m not trivialising events when I discuss this Quranic clock gadget: I’m trying to clear up a few myths and find some common ground.

iDJ iPod DJ Mixer

February 22nd, 2007 by methodshop in Audio/Video Gadgets, Gadget Reviews, USB Gadgets

The iDJ is a compact mixing console with 2 built-in iPod docks. Mixing directly from your iPods gives you the ability to utilize thousands tracks from your iTunes collection at your next party or event. If you need to pull audio from additional sources, you’ll be happy to know that the iDJ has two additional turntables or MP3/CD players inputs. I can see how this would come in handy at an event like a wedding where someone ends up handing the DJ a CD at the last minute.

The iDJ Mixer is both Firewire and USB2.0 compatible, so you can use 3rd Generation iPods (iPod mini, iPod photo) or newer generation models as well.

After reading through the specs, I noticed you can take things a step further and connect via S-Video. Greg from getusb.info thinks this feature “makes the iDJ a good video mixer for schools, churches or corporate applications where you have multiple people presenting and don’t want to fumble around with PC connections and projectors.”

The iDJ Mixer also features headphone pre-cuing, separate channel three-band EQ and an industry-standard Kensington security slot. The security slot enables you to lock down the iDJ to a table in case you need to walk away for a few minutes for a cigarette or quick bathroom break.

Technical Details

  • Voltage: 110
  • Length: 18.5 inches;Height: 5.75 inches;Width: 14.0 inches
  • Weight: 7.0 pounds
  • Inputs – 2 iPod, 2 Line (CD/MP3), 2 Phono (Turntable), & 1 Microphone
  • Outputs – Master RCA, Record RCA, S-Video, Headphone (1/8 & 1/4)
  • Compatible with 3rd & 4th generation iPods, iPod Minis, & iPod Photo
  • Compatible with Firewire & USB 2.0 iPod connectors

The iDJ can be purchased either from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
