Join Noon Solar gets a new solar powered bag
Anyone on the lookout for a solar bag should really keep an eye on Noon Solar, they are one of my favorite brands when it comes to bags with solar panels. They have recently created yet another bag to add to their line. If you’re unfamiliar with the company, they do create bags for both men and women. A lot of their bags are kind of a handbag style, but they do have a couple unisex products as well. The bags are all featuring sustainable products and some of them come with an odd little locket. That locket is filled with dirt, to remind that the bag came from the earth and can be easily returned to it.

eStarling Digital Photo Frame, now with Facebook
It has been a while since we have written about the eStarling Digital Photo Frame, but they have made some recent advancements that are worth talking about all over again.
The latest 8-inch digital photo frame from eStarling’s is Wi-fi capable, but that really isn’t anything new. What is new is that the frame is made for Facebook support. All a user has to do is provide his or her username and password, and when his or her friends upload their pictures, they will be automatically downloaded directly into the frame with a resolution of 800×600 pixels.
All this will insure that the content on the frame is constantly changing, without having to hook it up to the computer and do the constant downloading and erasing that usually occurs when updating digital picture frames. You can download through a memory card slot that supports MMC, SD, MS, and CF formats.

Robo-Pong
We have reported about some advancements in Pong before, so I figured we should also report about advancements in ping-pong. Okay, that was a weak introduction, but I believe that Robo-Pong 2040 is the best thing to happen to ping-pong since the paddle.
Robo-Pong could easily play the main villain in a Balls of Fury sequel in the ultimate battle of man vs. machine. Robo-Pong wields a gun that fires ping pong balls at its human opponent at varying speeds, and can even do fast chops and shallow spikes. With a top serving speed of 75 miles per hour, Robo-Pong would give Forrest Gump a run for his money. “That’s all I got to say about that.”
Unlike the automatic servers that tennis players use, the Robo-Pong won’t be running out of balls anytime soon. Once the player hits the balls back, they are collected in a net and put back into the shooter.

JORDY magnification headset
What the rather senior lady on the right is wearing is the JORDY (Joint Optical Reflective Display) advanced magnifier from Enhanced Vision, helping those with low vision to view objects from afar, featuring up to 30x magnification complete with auto-focus capabilities. It isn’t exactly the most stylish of equipment, but hey, if it works, the design refinement will only make things better in future iterations. I can already think of a great way to use this – get a cheap seat at the end of a packed stadium at Euro 2008, and watch as it I was sitting from a grandstand position. Features include four viewing modes (full-color, black and white, high-contrast positive and negative), 30X magnification (50x with the optional desktop), a built-in lighting system, auto-focus and digital zoom.

Mixko Whippy Light makes me hungry
I usually dislike how fluorescent lights look in lighting fixtures, however, this little pendant is one exception. The witty little light makes the bulb look as if it is part of an ice cream cone, which in the hot summer weather sounds really good. Then again, having a light hanging around reminding you of something cold on a hot day when you’re all out of icecream just seems cruel and unusual. You could torture your kids and hang this in their room. Of course in turn you would get pestered constantly for icecream.

gCubik concept from Japan
The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan has successfully developed a small box-like display device which is able to conjure up 3D images on a palm, and has dubbed the device gCubik. The gCubik displays 3D images, enabling multiple people to view it simultaneously from various angles with the naked eye, doing away with the need for pesky glasses and the like. This development is made possible thanks to an applied technology of “integral photography method,” a kind of multiple-lens method. LCD panels are used in all three sides, measuring around 10cm x 10cm and being adjacent to each other, giving the illusion as though there’s a 3D object within.

USB Solar Mobile Charger
Go green with the USB Solar Mobile Charger from Brando – this device features a 1,500mAh lithium battery, storing up juice harvested from the sun’s rays for a time when you need it most. It will feature connecting tips with cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players as well as portable media players – heck, anything goes as long as there is a right adapter to fit your gizmo. Should the days be particularly overcast, there is always the AC charge ability that helps you juice up the USB Solar Mobile Charger via a power outlet or through a USB port. Perfect gadget for the traveling dad, and the price ain’t too shabby at $37 either.
