Forget about carrying your family’s photo in a wallet – that’s old hat in this day and age. Soban from Korean company Narae has unveiled a tiny digital photo album that can be hooked up to your bunch of keys for convenience’s sake. A small screen is enough to parade pictures of your entire family across three generations with room to spare for vacation photos as well. The Soban has a memory capacity of up to 7,000 images (presumably reduced to the screen’s native resolution).
Spring and summer can be a nightmare for folks who suffer from environmental allergies, where dust mites and pollen do more than their fair share of wreaking havoc on sinus cavities, ears, and eyes – regardless of whether you’ve holed yourself up in your room or driving to the nearest clinic. The majority of automakers have been doing their part over the years to help minimize the extreme discomfort of allergy sufferers by adding in new technology to their vehicles, but Ford has certainly gone the extra mile with each creation, resulting in the latest Ford Mondeo being awarded the German TÜV Rhineland group’s “Allergy Tested Interior” seal of approval.
Nico is a robotic creation from Yale University scientists Kevin Gold and Brian Scassellati, and this humanoid robot boasts one capability that most, if not all, of the other robots in the field still do not possess – the ability to recognize itself in a mirror. Other than a select number of animals and humans, no other lifeform (organic or otherwise) has the ability to identify himself as…well, “self”. This revolution was made possible as the scientists wrote an algorithm that enables Nico to classify various objects as “self,” “other,” or “neither”, depending on the information received from a camera located just behind each of it’s eyes.
So you’ve just spent all your money picking up that Xbox 360, PS3, or Nintendo Wii with not much money left over to pick up a spanking new widescreen High Definition TV (although the Wii still runs on standard def, playing it on a nice TV never hurts)? Fear not, the 1440 VGA Gamer TV Box lets you play your games on a standard computer monitor, and since it comes with Picture-in-Picture display, you can always have your World of Warcraft fix while your other half is busy keeping herself occupied with Super Paper Mario on the wii – all on the same screen.
Pokémon has been a tour de force in the world of video games since its inception, and has sold millions of copies worldwide in addition to moving tons of hardware in the process. To commemorate the latest Pokémon Center that will be opened in Tokyo on July 20th, Nintendo will be offering a number of Pikachu-branded yellow DS Lites to lucky people there. Of course, picking one up isn’t as easy as just walking inside and dropping a few coins. You will first need to submit your application (deadline is July 1st), where you will be notified by postcard later the same month on whether you are eligible or not.
I don’t get it about Hello Kitty and it’s stranglehold on people all over the world. How could a feline draped in pink complete with a bowtie across it’s forehead be universally appealing? Perhaps I’m just one of the few who can’t stand her sugary sweetness, but at the end of the day majority wins, and hence we have tons of Hello Kitty devices in the market.
Anyone who has heard of the exotic car marque Lamborghini will know that this Italian thoroughbred is a no-nonsense sports car that boasts the highest level of quality possible in every department to create a special car for special people. ASUS have teamed up with Lamborghini in the past to create several notable notebooks, and the ASUS Lamborghini VX2 is the latest in their collaboration. The stunning yellow paintwork is definitely an eye catcher at first glance, and eagle eyed folks will notice that this is the exact same metallic Midas Yellow paint used in the actual Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera itself. Of course, for the quiet, sophisticated types, they can always opt for the Noctis Black color. The ASUS Lamborghini VX2 comes with a starting price tag of $2,700, making it a truly exquisite piece of computing that reflects your personality and taste for the finer things in life.
You just gotta love these phones from China that seem to come packed in the quirkiest of designs and names. Gadget mavens Brando is now offering the TV Phone V10 (the latter part which sounds more like a highly desirable car engine specification than anything else) – a cellphone that comes with a built-in TV tuner for you to catch up on your favorite soap operas no matter where you are at the moment. Of course, it need not be stressed that the picture quality that you get depends on the reception, but the general idea is more or less there – you get to catch up on your TV even when you’re out of the living room.
