NEC does deal with a plethora of projectors, and to date they have built up quite an impressive portfolio of performers. This time round, the Japanese company is back with a new NP610 entry-level installation projector that was specially designed to target users who require incredible image quality with advanced capabilities without having to break the bank while not compromising on performance and features. More specifically, the NEC NP610 will target users at the university level, but the buck does not stop there since it will fare equally well in corporate environments, being the perfect companion for areas such as training rooms, lecture halls and conference rooms.

Visioneer is a well known name and a leader in intelligent document imaging solutions, having announced their latest device known as the Strobe 500. What is the STrobe 500, exactly? Well, it is a new mobile duplex color scanner that comes with a docking station that was developed with dual platform support for Windows and Mac operating systems. It will boast a 20-page automatic document feeder (ADF) alongside the capability to scan at 15 ppm/30 ipm.

The name Tachyon might not ring a bell for most people, but in reality it has been dealing with durable, extreme helmet cameras for quite some time already. Their latest release would be the Tachyon XC Micro Helmet Cam that offers similar quality features found in the recently released 2010 Tachyon XC back in August this year, although it helps you save space as it will come in a smaller, more compact design. Touted to be the industry’s smallest helmet camera to date, it will boast features including water-proofing without the need for an external case, a patented shockproof design, a wide field of vision, alongside superior light-gathering ability. The XC Micro can also take pride in the fact that it is also the only helmet camera on the market which can accept the entire range of microSDHC cards, allowing you to store up to 32GB of non-stop footage at any one time. Thanks to its condensed size, you can easily take this around with you, making sure your adrenaline-rushing adventures are always caught on camera for posterity.

If you’re a fan of DAB radio, now you can own a limited edition version that looks far better than most radios.  Despite that the radio itself has the same look you’re used to seeing, the case that comes with it adds quite a bit of color.  If you’re not a fan of red, don’t worry, it comes in more than just red.  Besides looking good, it has not only DAB radio, but FM as well.

Projectors are starting to become very popular with the average consumer, and this particular one is low-priced and just what the average consumer needs.

After all, most consumers just want a way to view their personal DVDs and home movies on a bigger screen. The Sharper Image Entertainment Projector for Movies and Video Games is perfect for this. All that is required of the user is to hook the Projector to a DVD player or gaming station via included cable, and plug it in with the included AC cord.

According to the site, it is best viewed from six feet away. I had a chance to try it out for myself. I held it back more than six feet away from a blank wall, and I was able to get a pretty decent image.

Dolls always seem to have the strangest features, yes there are still normal dolls out there, but there are just as many oddballs.  You can get babies that make noise, that pee their diaper and can even crawl away.  The strangest of them all is always the one that can soil a fake diaper.  Well now all the little girls of the world can have a doll to go with their Nintendo Wii.

It isn’t unusual that video games come with at least one odd peripheral to make much more realistic gameplay, but this Baby and Me Special Edition has to be one of the most unusual that I have seen.

The particular toy comes with an actual doll that the child straps the Wiimote to. Then the baby doll “reacts by giggling, gurgling or crying through the Wii remote”. From there, I would imagine a child can learn the wonders of being a mother as he or she can feed the baby and put the baby to sleep.

I am assuming that this game will take advantage of the Wiimote’s motion control feature for this. By the way, players can even get the Wii Balance Board (presumably the one from WiiFit) to rock baby to sleep, burp the baby, and teach baby to walk.

When women travel, their makeup case goes with them, wherever they’re getting ready, that case is typically right there.  Having a simple case always makes getting ready far less chaotic.  Then if you add your favorite music to the combination, it makes for a more soothing morning.  This Stila case manages to give both by having speakers actually built into in order to hook up your MP3 player.
