Very usefull if you’re an outdoors type of person who does like his gadgets:

The new Palm Pre looks very awesome: smaller than an iphone, slideable keyboard (I love that keyboard, it’s very very good) and an OS which seems slicker than Apple’s. Other than that it seems to have all the prerequisite bits and bobs, such as wifi, gprs, reasonabley poor camera, gps, bluetooth, 480×320 display.

Apps can be created for the new webOS using just javascript, HTML and CSS.

This drive uses P2P technology to back up your drives synchronysly anywhere on the planet. Sounds good, but you do need to have 2 of these drives. They’re made to sync to each other. It won’t plug in to your existing NAS automagically. Your source drive would need some way of identifying and sending the data over the bittorrent link.

This allows you to set your white balance before uncapping your lens.

This links to a whole range of impressive cheapskate (but effective!) ways of upgrading your camera setup, such as how to make cheap flash diffusers, your own camera bag, flash deflection umbrella’s, tripods, ringlighting rigs, etc.

It’s GSM Watch phone week!

The first is the Phenom Watch Phone which features a 1.3″ touchscreen you can operate with a stylus and has a seperate keypad. It’s feature packed and also has an MP3 & MP4, built in microphone and speakers, digital and video camera, Micro SD slot and built in Bluetooth.

They have more of them too, such as the glam model

They’re not cheap, but being able to video call from your watch is of course hugely cool. Unfortunately I can’t find any reviews or videos of someone actually making a call on it.

Then there’s the lG-GD910 which is a 3G HSPDA watch phone. The screen is 1.43″ touch and uses text to speech technology.

Also no idea how stupid you look when trying to actually make a call with it though.

Some clever chappie (professor Silver) has designed a lens for your glasses that you can change the strength of the focal distance yourself – ie. no more optician!
He does this by filling a membrane with water. Using in syringe with a dial you can put in more or take out some fluid, customising it to your own strength.

Yes, they’re ugly, but they’re working on that. They want to sell these things in developing nations for as close to $1,- as they can possibly get.

This is a good guide how to do it easily and reap the benifits of proper colour. All you need is a THX certified DVD and a pair of $4,- goofy glasses.

It’s an easy system: you plug one end into your PC and you plug the other end (which can be bought seperately) into your USB thing, making it a wireless device. Prices seem reasonable.

With 200x magninfication and 1600 x 1200 resolution this is quite something for only GBP 50

BSODomizer is a small, battery-powered, mischievous electronic gadget that interfaces between a laptop or desktop and VGA monitor and flashes images onto the monitor at random time intervals or when triggered by an infrared remote control

Childish and random? Hell yeah! Cool as fuck and I want one!

This is a paper thin LCD screen that can be coated on cell phones and change colour at the touch of a finger. YOU get to decide what you’re cell phone looks like!

These teddybears look amazing

These external speakers will only run at 100 – 500 pieces and will be on sale from November.

mir:ror is a system that reads RFID labels and then performs actions on your PC depending on the type of tag: eg, show your umbrella and it will give you a weather report.

Only $69,99

This HP USB key doubles as a floppy disk emulator, meaning you can easily boot up from it on all kinds of PCs.

The lenses on these glasses are cut so that the view to the sides of the wearers head is sent to your peripheral vision, where you’re not so good at looking at detail, but good at detecting movement. This should improve safetly substantially whilst doing just about anything!

Danny Kuo’s design for a bookcase that turns into a staircase so you can reach the top shelves easily is stunningly simple and brilliant.

After having ripped off a poor English inventor to create the ipod, now they’ve ripped off Cupertino who designed the next generation of ipods a year ago!

These lenses boost focal length, which means that the huge lenses you need to follow something from far away on a camera can be made a whole lot smaller.

Using ultrasound, the University of Tokyo has found a way to exert highly localised pressure in a single direction, allowing you to feel invisible objects in the air.

This tree is unfortunately a design concept, but I want it: charge your gadgets with solar power…

This thing flies your camera wherever you want it – fast!
Very cool videos

Yes! This one hangs on the wall AND supports SD cards.
