Enter Apisphere Geomate Jr. the quickest, easiest, and dare I say least expensive way to enter the world of geocaching.

Hanvon color e-reader offers yet another option
E-book readers have been around for some years already, and the amount of progress in that department hasn’t really caught on as fast as we would like to have. After all, we are finally about to take the plunge into the world of color e-readers after some time, which is pretty sad considering how other devices such as cell phones have long adopted the color feature for some time already. Perhaps there really isn’t a need for color in an e-reader, but times might have changed as well. After all, e-readers are meant to be lightweight and consume as little juice as possible so that it can complement the digital page turners that you have already uploaded unto it. Hanvon jumps aboard the color bandwagon with their new e-reader, thanks to technology from E Ink, whose black-and-white displays are used in 90 percent of the world’s e-readers, including the Amazon Kindle, Sony Readers and the Nook from Barnes & Noble.

Creative announces Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro
Creative is famous for their line of audio products for computers, so it is no surprise to see the company roll out yet another addition to the sound card family which they’re noted for, in the form of the Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro. I clearly remember back in the days when I was running a 486DX 33MHz, and was extremely envious of my friends who had an 8-bit Sound Blaster since they enjoyed games in a totally different way while I had to settle for lousy beeps and boops on the PC speaker itself. The only game which I was thoroughly impressed with using a PC speaker was Loom by LucasArts, boy did that blow the mind (and ears) away! But I digress – back to the topic at hand, which we will look at the Creative announces Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro in greater detail after the jump.

Electric Personal Transporter
The Segway proved to be a rather interesting personal transportation device for the less abled, and even Steve Wozniak managed to turn it into a sport (Segway polo, anyone?). Well, not everyone can afford one, so for those who are on a tighter budget, what are some of the alternatives available to you? Roll in (pun intended) the Electric Personal Transporter, where this four-wheeled electric personal vehicle is capable of hitting a top speed of 20 mph while running in an effortless, smooth manner across paved paths, driveways, or sidewalks. Of course, if you’re an able bodied person and prefer to use this for quick, easy errands or leisurely rides through the park, we would advise against it and go for a real walk instead as it would be a pity to not maximize the use of your legs while you still can.
A couple fo 700-watt electric motors are located within the hub of each 16″ drive wheel, delivering both forward and reverse motion. Balance and steering are controlled via two trailing 4 1/2″ wheels. The handlebars will help you control your speed, while a hand-brake is there for confident stops. Nice to know you can use this at night as well thanks to the presence of a headlight, while a horn helps you alert other pedestrians of your presence. Available in red, black, or silver shades, the Electric Personal Transporter isn’t that cheap either at $1,895.
Wallee iPad Case
The iPad has certainly taken off in a big way, and there are so far a thousand and one ways to make use of it, with many more ways yet undiscovered. Well, why not add another one to the list with the Wallee iPad Case? Available in black and clear versions, this £39.99 purchase will be able to turn the elegant iPad into a wall mounted solution, letting you use it as some sort of glorified digital photo frame. All you need to do is click your iPad into this glossy hard shell case, screw the backplate which comes with it while interlock the X-mount to the wall, and voila! You’re good to go, with the iPad clicked and locked properly in either portrait or landscape position. Of course, if you don’t want to mount your iPad with the Wallee iPad Case, you can always use it as a regular case on your travels to make sure it offers adequate protection against everyday knocks and bumps.
visCycle – Go Green, Get Lean
In San Diego there’s a gym, that in and of itself is nothing unusual, I’m sure San Diego has a bunch of gyms… but theres a place in particular called the Greenasium that is using a special stationary bike called the visCycle.
Manufactured by Resource Fitness, the visCycle and other similarly capable machines generate electricity that is routed back into the power grid of the facility, offsetting some of the power usage, like lights, fans and the computer.
