AvMap Geosat 6 ‘Drive Safe’ with alcohol tester

, Jun 6th 2008 Discuss [0]

Sat-Nav specialists AvMap have announced their latest standalone GPS, the Geosat 6 Drive Safe, which can not only guide you but chide you if you've drunk too much.  Fitted with an alcohol sensor, users simply blow onto the device to get a reading and advice as to whether they're safe to drive or not.  Input is all courtesy of the 4.8-inch wide-aspect touchscreen, with spoken guidance prompts and Bluetooth for using the Geosat 6 as a mobile phone hands-free.

TSA X-ray laptop bags hitting shelves in 3-4 months

, May 22nd 2008 Discuss [2]

Being something of a geek, I actually quite enjoy checking out what notebooks people are unpacking when waiting to go through airport security.  However, I'd happily trade that for a quicker check-in, so hearing that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are working with laptop bag manufacturers including Targus and Scooba Design to create X-ray friendly carry-cases is, in today's security-obsessed times, welcome news.  The new bags would exempt owners from needing to unsheathe their notebooks when going through airport screening, and would have be free of image obscuring padding, straps or electronics.

HTC London May 6 press event itinerary

, May 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

HTC London Event May 6I just received a detailed itinerary for the HTC London press event on Tuesday May 6, 2008. I arrive in London at 8:45 AM, registration starts at 11:00 AM and the HTC press event kicks off at 11:30AM. I have a briefing with HTC CIO, Horace Luke at 3:30 to 4:00 PM. There’s a cocktail event with HTC’s CEO Peter Chou at 5:00 PM and dinner at 7:30 PM. HTC’s Chief Designer will be attending so looks like I’ll have an opportunity to pick his brain on HTC’s next wave of innovation. Make sure to stay follow the event in real time via http://live.phonemag.com.

HTC isn’t releasing what the press event will entail, but if what’s been rumored over the past weeks are indeed true, then we will witness the birth of the HTC Diamond, HTC Touch Pro and perhaps Mr. Chou will dazzle us with the highly anticipated Android-powered Dream phone.

Folding Door Guard – means you can fly back home with the dignity of clothing

, Mar 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

If you travel a lot, especially internationally, you probably already know that burglars in other countries are either more abundant, or more ingenious, so staying in a hotel, regardless of the number of locks on the door, can be risky business. Well, the Folding Door Guard aims to address this issue in a portable manner. This little device extends out, grips on the floor at the bottom, and forks itself around the door knob to make sure that door doesn’t move. However, if someone is capable of moving, or worse yet, breaking the tube-steel gadget then hopefully the 120 decibel motion sensor alarm would deter them or at least make them reconsider.

, Feb 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

This is a sandwich grill that is intended for use in your vehicle. It has the 12V automotive power adapter (cigarette lighter power) built in and everything, but I wouldn’t recommend using it while driving. Read The Full Story

Nemorelaxer coming to an airport near you

, Feb 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

Imagine being able to use your spare time at the airport to catch some much needed rest or net some added productivity by removing distractions. I know that I could have been a lot more productive if I could have had access to a comfortable work station which had internet access, a comfortable seat, a desk, and an easy access outlet. The fact that it’s sound proof and has a recliner built in just makes it that much better whether you are using it to sleep or do work. There is also a touch-screen monitor that you can select and then watch movies on if you wish. Read The Full Story

I have a wireless mouse and I’ve never had difficulty taking it anywhere, it’s small as mice are and there are no cords so I could put it in my pocket if needed. Apparently, though, there is enough of a need for smaller mice when traveling someone has come up with the idea for something called a Jellyclick mouse. Read The Full Story
