Gadget Dose

Apologies for the lack of post the last couple of months. Having an awful time and I’m trying to get things in order. But I’m back now and will be updating again.

So, how have you been doing?

For owners of iPod Touch and the iPhone, the Coupon Sherpa should be one application to have. Use this to find coupons at any store you may find yourself in. There are over 100 stores supported for this feature, and the number is still increasing.

How does the Sherpa work? Follow the instructions after the cut…

Incidentally, the application is available for free download until April 24. But otherwise, you can get Coupon Sherpa at $1.99 once the promo is over.

Casio has announced yesterday the release of its latest digital camera model, the Exilim EX Z29.

The camera boasts of a 2.7-inch wide LCD display and the retention of easy to use camera functions as the past Exilim models. The new model has an Anti-Shake DSP, helpful in reducing blurs on moving subjects or caused by the shaking of the hand.

The camera also has an easy to use Easy mode function where taking photos become a real breeze and the outcome more than satisfactory. The Face Detection Technology feature keeps images sharp and maintain a proper exposure.

The gadget will be out in April and will cost about $149.99.

The full press release follows after the cut…..

You can’t be too careful these days, especially with the rise of predatory incidence, of someone stalking you in your own home (thanks to social networking sites and the internet!)

Protect yourself and install the Peephole Camera & DVR from ThinkGeek. It’s nothing that fancy really…I mean, nothing that rivals that of Madonna’s security system at her celebrity house, but it can ward off potential predators or people who come knocking at your door for solicits.

The peephole records about 11 hours of video footage….which is not bad for a small, humble household.

Features

• Motion sensor, microphone and LCD camera
• Mounts to your door through the peephole
• Records up to 11.2 hours of video to a 4G SD card (not included)
• Time and date-stamp all the activity outside your door
• Take note of visitors, catch vandals, gather evidence on bad neighbors
• Uses 3 AAA batteries (not included) and one CR2032 battery for time (included)
• Measurements:
  • Sensor: 58 x 13 x 35mm
  • Door viewer: 108 x 24 x 65mm
• Mounting bracket, screws and fixings included

The thing about gadgets today — such as laptops, cellphones, game portables and media portables — is that because many of them are so handy, portable and mobile, they can be prone to scratches, bumps and wear and tear. Used anywhere everyday and thrown in the bag together with keys, brushes and coins, these gadgets are bound to look really old and so used so fast. To many people, protecting their outer body is of big importance. One wouldn’t want to end up with a gadget that’s full of scratches now, wouldn’t it?

So, here’s why invisibleSHIELD™ is a practical answer to this problem. It is a transparent and thin protector that works like a second skin to any type of gadget. It matches the body, contour and color of the device, so it is hardly noticeable. But you can see the effect and the difference when it comes to protecting your device’s body.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Regular posting will resume this Monday.

Thanks for continuing to visit this site.

Look at this beautiful piece of work. Its glossy finish was not the only thing that makes this technological advance work fast. Besides from being one of the most sold laptops company’s work, its got an Intel Atom chip inside, slow? I think not. Buy an iPhone, or you could just get something better and worth it like this Lenovo.

“This is the IdeaPad U8 from Lenovo. With Intel’s Atom chip inside it, the Mobile Internet Device has an optical mouse to let you fiddle one-handed, supports 3G and EDGE, has GPS, a 4.8-inch touchscreen, a Paul Smith-esque striped back (hope that stays) and an annoying ambient bongo player (either that goes or I do.) ”

Mama, I want one. (Okay, maybe I’m a little too old to asking the parents for one, but you can’t stop me)

So, maybe its not the best idea that has come up in the recent news, but hey, its results! Maybe its actually a shoe rack that is shaped like a bike, and at other times its the fastest bike in town when you’re racing the streets of ___________(Insert city name here)

The only sad thing about this piece of work is that that shoes, it looks like, are probably worth more than the frame and the inner makings of the bike itself. So, maybe you’re just better off buying a bunch of expensive shoes and finding a frame that some is going to throw away!

“We’re not going to oversell this one. It’s a bike. And it’s had the wheels replaced by spokes tipped with shoes. In other words, it’s quite possible the greatest invention ever.

Ad Dugdale celebrates that there’s finally a bike to give the Bitchcruiser a proper ass-kicking. We celebrate the sweet, awkward video of someone riding the thing after the jump.”

Finding a good and reliable case for your computer is a hard thing to do. Not having found a case myself, I don’t know what companies to trust in and which ones are the reliable ones. I also don’t want to pay too much for the case. However, the Motorcycle casemod is definitely one that comes into my mind as reliable and FAST. NOT. But, its definitely fast
“There are roadwarriors with their ultraportables and then there’s master modder Dennis Ilyin, who took computing on the go literally with this ambitious motorcycle casemod. While the two-wheeled computing wonder lacks an engine, it more than makes up for it with massive LED-lit water tanks and what’s sure to be ample processing power. The compu-bike was part of an NVIDIA-sponsored modding contest and actually came in second to this green thing. Fair? Unfair? Take a look at additional pics after the jump and you tell us.”

“Rumors that Apple’s 3G iPhone is on the way are coming faster by the day, and now images of the alleged next generation iPhone are beginning to surface, too. Apparently the new iPhone will also sport a glossy black back, replacing the satin nickel look found on the current model.”

I wonder how much they are going to put the price on this one. 600? 700? 800? Whatever the cost, I can assure you its going to be way too much for the technology that Apple puts into the product. However, since people, and popular media, see it has fashion, Apple sales have been going up exponentially since the beginning of the century.

So, how long is the wait until we can see the Next Generation [ and don't forget overpriced] iPhone. I give it mid-summer until the product comes out, you know the prime time where kids have enough money before they spend it all on clothes and other stuff for the next school year… yes… sweet victory to apple it will come.

“Take this rumor with a grain of salt the size of your fist, but this is what some people are claiming is the back of the upcoming next-gen iPhone. It could very easily be a fake, but then again, you never know. What do you guys think? Do you like the glossy black or do you missed the two-tone design of the current model and the classy brushed metal?”

Also check out the 8GB mark on the case, and also how the text is aligned differently than the existing iPhones.

Hey Give me that XBOX. Nah… I’m not that cheap, I’d rather see it burn in the microwave that claim it for myself. Although, too bad “Will it microwave” is not as popular as “Will it blend” because if it ways, they could totally put it up on ebay to sell, and some unknown buyer out there would be more than glad to buy it.

“It’s Sunday, and it just wouldn’t be right if a group of destructive loons were not prepared to put their faulty, plausibly repairable Xbox 360 into a microwave. Naturally, the mob breathed in the ensuing toxic fumes happily, all in the name of science comedy and cheap thrills. That kind of devotion we must salute, but for the tortured Xbox 360, our heart melts, much like its innards did. Oh, the humanity. Check out the video then hit the link for a slew of shots of the despicable carnage.”

However unnecessary this shoe comes to be , it is, nevertheless, a gadget worth discussing. I mean, think of all of those nights that you are trying to sneak out of the room without waking up your wife, you run into things that you’re children left on the ground, and think about all of the risks you have of falling and hurting yourself to get away
Well, worry no more, with the headlight shoes, you can see the floor without hurting yourself, or even waking up your lovely wife in bed. [ unless she's light sensitive... ] A gadget, however, is always a gadget, I did hope that they would come in better styles of these shoes. It seems like something you would wear a century ago. Besides the style though, everything else seems to be completely intact.

Anyways, if any of you actually get these shoes, I would like to know how the deal goes. Thats the gadget today and I hope you’ve slightly enjoyed it as it wasn’t extremely worth of enjoyment. Regardless, I hope to see you next time when we see if there is a way to get free Porn accounts. No… no… just kidding

“Designers Feijun Chen & Bin Zhao clearly were reading Skymall when they dreamed up these “Pioneer” sneakers with built-in recharging headlights. They’ve got a battery inside which charges on each step, using some mysterious tech that doesn’t look piezoelectric. Apparently this can power the LEDs in the front for a full 12 hours. So you can, you know: run in the dark down dim-lit streets, or something. Maybe they’d be handy for doggy-do detection? Just a concept, for now.”

Don’t worry its only 300.00 EUR, and waterproof, but only a little bit. According to the specifications found on vanderled.com, (and shown, below), this cell phone watch supports Java, and is everything, plus some, that you would ever want a watch to do. Check out the specifications.

It’s clearly a misunderstanding by Steve Ruder, so lets just hope that he didn’t get the product, because, ya know, that would just make us all jealous.

I was never a big fan of having the best phone to my surmise, but I actually have an affinity towards this one, unlike the Apple iPhone. For some reason, the looks of the gadget have to be as good as the inner workings of the gadget. This LG phone, which has both, has my attention as well as many of the fans out there. As an LG fan myself, I believe that it is a reliable company as my previous phone was LG and it worked wonderfully.

“Samsung is following up the love-it or hate-it Chocolate, and the Shine, with its third “Black Label” device: the as-yet unnamed cellphone you can see here. It looks a more serious and slender beast than the first two, and sports a five megapixel camera, tempered glass and a carbon-fiber finish. Other than that we can’t say much, as LG is being shy with the details: though I’m sure they’d call it “teaser marketing”. More data will be available at its European April 24th launch. We’ll keep you posted.”

True - I was never a big fan of the Chocolate, but the Shine definitely caught my eye and my heart wanting it for the several weeks. The first time I saw the Shine was in London, and being in a new place with a slight deprivation of sleep, it may have just been the dreamy [drowsy] way I looked at it that made it like it forever.

Do I see anymore of the Shine’s or any LG Phone out there? Did you also know that LG made tvs?

“On paper, this cutting board concept—with an embedded LCD display and wireless connectivity to display cooking recipes—is a great idea. Unfortunately, being an Iron Chef wannabe myself, it fails the basic kitchen test: the crazy-mess-where’s-the-damn-pepper-proof test. My cutting board is always full of slices and dices of whatever substances are going to suffer the torture of my pans, which would make impossible to follow any recipe on it, forcing me to follow recipes the traditional way: not following them at all. ”

“The ubiquitous kitchen cutting board has now got a new lease of life with Nardo Design’s new high-tech Digital Cutting Board. This board comes with a flexible, yes you heard right, flexible LCD display that displays cooking instructions on it so that you can conjure up that meal, perfectly. And, while doing so, you can also read up downloaded recipes that you might want to try out. All this, right at the place where all the cooking happens, your kitchen. The brainchild of design student, Marc Nardangeli, this cooking board has a very chic design that will make cooking look and even feel, very high tech. The cutting board sits on grippy rubber feet which support an acrylic board. the acrylic board contains the circuitry to run the flexible LCD panel which sits on top of it. All this is packaged neatly on on top of the other and is sealed with a safety tempered glass panel which allows finger based, touchscreen operation. You can even connect this cutting board to download the cooking recipes.”

Whatever the use for this is, I sure hope it comes handy sometime in the future…
