Abby McVay, Jan 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

I've never heard of a bar lacking barstools, but just in case you ever come across one you can drive up on one of these bad boys. If you want you can even park it near the bikes and hang out with the bikers. You can even keep up with them, well up to a whopping 25-30mph. You might even pass a moped or two. Read The Full Story

1.5″ Digital Photo Frame/Mp3 Player

Christina Crouch, Jan 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

I’ve been mostly harsh on digital photo frames, I just happen to think they are a waste of space. This one, though, caught my eye and I have to admit, it’s probably something I’d buy. It’s a digital photo frame of course, but it’s also a MP3 player and it’s small and green and adorable. Read The Full Story

AlarMe watch helps notify the hearing impaired

Christina Crouch, Jan 15th 2008 Discuss [1]

I really like this concept watch from Nikita Golovlev. It’s a watch for the hearing impaired which can alert it’s wearer through vibrations of an alarm going off. This is a great way for those who live alone to remain safe. Read The Full Story

i-Tracker from Transystem keeps track of anything

Christina Crouch, Jan 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

Personal GPS trackers seem to be a dime a dozen these days. It’s actually making me a little paranoid, not that anyone would want to keep tabs on me… or would they? Transystem’s i-Tracker is the latest to come to my attention and it comes with both a GPS and a GSM module to transmit tracking information to a computer or phone in real time. Read The Full Story

TankChair – How those who can’t get around, can get around

Christina Crouch, Jan 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

This tank wheelchair is brilliant, the creater, Brad Soden, should definitely win an award of some sort in my opinion. Sure having a wheelchair makes it somewhat easier for those who can’t walk to get around but what about really getting out and seeing nature? Read The Full Story

iPhone Speaker Dock and Hands-free earbuds and Mic from NewerTech

Christina Crouch, Jan 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

I wouldn’t exactly say that I’d laugh if I saw anyone using the iPhone dock from NewerTech but the thought would come to mind. It’s a speaker dock with a built in microphone to make conference calling easier, I get that, but I do think they could have made it look a little less ghetto. Read The Full Story

Mobiado Stealth phone is exclusive and fashionable

Christina Crouch, Jan 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

Even though there are enough “exclusive” phones out there that every “exclusive” person could each have a different one, Mobiado felt it was time for another one. They are calling it Stealth and only 1200 units will be made. Its name was inspired from it’s predecessor the Luminoso DNA and military stealth aircrafts and made from aluminum and sapphire crystals. It has a large QVGA display, 2megapixel camera and video, microSD cards support up to 2GB, stereo speakers, Bluetooth and supports mp3, mp4, eAAC+ and AAC files. Read The Full Story

Christina Crouch, Jan 2nd 2008 Discuss [8]

I believe there’s an old saying about how as one door closes, another opens. Just as we were beginning to say our final goodbyes to rear projection, a new generation is born and it plans to make its debut at CES after a two year gestation (plans for the Laser TV were announced at CES in 2006).
