Join Western Digital unveils first 2TB hard drive in the world
Guess you can’t really have enough storage space in this world, eh? I remember when I was at my cousin’s house back in the 1980s, he has an XT computer running on an Intel 8086 processor with a 2MB hard drive (!), and boy did I have plenty of fun dishing out punishment on zombies in Dungeons & Dragons’ Champions of Krynn RPG in full CGA glory. Those were the good old days all right – fast forward a couple of decades or so and you have Western Digital offering the first 2TB hard drive in the world. That is an improvement of 1,000,000 times, which is impressive, to say the least. This new 3.5″ 2TB hard drive is part of the environmentally friendly WD Caviar Green hard drive family and is based on WD’s 500 GB/platter technology (with 400 Gb/in2 areal density) with 32 MB cache.

4moms Goodnight Sleep Trainer teaches your baby to sleep all night
Tired of all that pesky parenting? Well now you can pick up the 4moms Goodnight Sleep Trainer and take at least some of the thinking out of parenting. All joking aside, it’s a pain to figure out how long to let your newborn cry before you rush to their aid at night. If you rush too soon then they get attached and expect it, if you stay away too much then you’re neglecting your child. If you are getting overly anxious about doing the right thing, then maybe it is time to turn to an electronic device such as this to help you out.

Playpump channels the energy of children for fresh water
I’ve always told my wife that the ratio of energy between children and adults is completely disproportionate. It’s like parents need twice as much energy than they already have to deal with half the energy their children already possess. That might sound confusing to some readers, but if you have children, you probably have noticed how easily they can wear you out.
Fortunately, there are ways to channel the energy of children into something that can help their future. This is what the Playpump is designed to do. This merry-go-round is connected to pumps, and when children spin it, they are able to tap into the fresh water below.

GoStereo Headphones are also Speakers
I often review headphones on Coolest Gadgets, and it isn’t often that I have anything different to say about them. I mean, how many ways can I say “they have good sound”? Yet every once in a while, I find some headphones that have some feature that are definitely worth writing about.
Such is the case with the GoStereo headphones, which are the only headphones that I know of which can also be used as speakers. I’m sure you can see the external mesh on the outer part of the earpieces.
This is really an idea whose time has come. After all, it doesn’t make sense to spend money on a pair of headphones for your Portable Media Player, and then more money on a speaker. I am assuming that there is some kind of toggle switch on the GoStereo that will allow for private and public listening.

Robot Money Box guards your savings, maybe a little too well
Considering the fragile state of the economy these days, it is probably good to start saving money. Sure, you could use an old-fashioned piggy bank, but technology always gives us an electrical alternative.
This is where the Robot Money Box comes in. When you put money in the bank, it can actually keep track of how much you put in. I’m not certain how it does this. I doubt it has advanced sensors or anything. Perhaps it can somehow counts as you put it your coins or dollars in.
Another feature that makes the Robot Money box different from your average piggy bank is that it praises you for saving money. Not only that, but you can make target goals for saving, and it will encourage you for making them.
There is one other feature that my source and the Product Page are very vague about. Apparently, the Robot Money Box “may even try to stop you if you try to take anything out”.

The SunLight Solar Flashlights
Here’s another set of solar gear for the rugged outdoorsy types. Well really, the SL-1 version of the light would be great for anyone. The SL-1 is really just a great solar flashlight that hooks to your backpack and features a hard ABS plastic exterior. Which means that it’s highly water and shock resistant. The hook can also be hung up high to illuminate a wide area, instead of just being used to hang it on your backpack. If you are looking to illuminate a lot, you might instead consider picking up the SL-2 flashlight.

FlashBay’s Nature Series USB Drive is hardwood yet eco-friendly
Here’s a USB drive that manages to be CarbonNeutral. It uses environmentally sustainable materials, so therefore there would be few that would call this anything but eco-friendly. Yet, instead of using bamboo, this environmentally flash drive goes for European Maple. I’m not saying because the drive uses wood that it’s not environmentally conscious. It just, in my mind, would make sense to use a material that can easily be restored and quickly.

Last Week’s Coolest Gadget of the Week was…
The winner of last week’s coolest gadget competition is the LG touchscreen watch phone.
Dick Tracy, eat your heart out. LG has come up with a futuristic treat from the past with the GD910 – a wrist watch phone. But if you thought it was going to be a second-rate mobile, it’s actually packed full of features you wouldn’t expect. There’s a pretty low-grade camera but its 3G HSDPA compatibility, 1.43” touchscreen, MP3 player and text to speech functionality makes it a decent phone and a pretty hot watch.
Congrats again to Decide What to Buy.
