Bluetooth Tooth is Painted Black

Yeah! A Black coloured Bluetooth transmitter. This is about a tiny Bluetooth transmitter that fits in your tooth. This could be the creepiest of all Bluetooth headsets in the town. Why?
Dental Insert Microphone
It goes into your mouth and sits on your tooth. To get it working what you have to do is stick it into a small crevice in your tooth like a filling. It bears no battery and is powered by even smaller solar panel. How it works?

It picks up the vibrations in your teeth and transmits. That is indeed a brilliant way to catch what you say. But who will like to have a small thing sticking in your mouth. Often toothpicks may put some trouble as well.

Now it is 4 Gadgets Breathing for a Life in Your Car

Yuck! I don’t wish to think about it again. My last presentation went bad as my gadgets were down on battery. I wish if I had got to know about this 4-port USB car charger before. Wondering how could it have helped me?
4 Port USB Car Charger.
With this USB car charger you can charge upto 4 gadgets at the same time. This would really save a lot of our time. Just plug it into your cigarette adapter. And Now you’ve got four USB ports for recharging any gadget.

It costs just $12 and is very cheap compared to the loss that I had with my presentation.

3D Printer can Clone your iPhone

Cool! Isnt it? Surely this is going to be the future. 3D printing or rapid prototyping can transform a blue print on your computer to a real object. Sounds impossible? Not anymore.
3D Printer Can Create Real Objects
This technology creates a real object by building up a succession of layers. The raw materials are bonded together by fusing it with laser or by using alternate layers of glue. Doesn’t the technology sound to be new?

Actually it dates back to mid 90s. And the futurists then even predicted that it could be a common stuff found in every home. Not yet until its price fall down to $500. Presently they find use in industry to develop parts for devices such as aircraft engines, spaceships and hearing aids.

The analysts now even predict that this rapid prototyping technology could be grown up to create self replicating printers that can be redesigned with upgrades. Of course the new printer may not be able to assemble of its own but can produce all necessary parts except for the chips and lubricating grease.

This could be a breakthrough in technology since we will be able to make high end graphic cards and sound cards at home. What we have got to do will be torrent the CAD files of the same.

PS: This is not fiction, NASA scientists have already created a self replicating robot that could be used for space missions.

Natural Brushes

Get ready to do wonders with colour. Here is a digital brush with a natural palette! Yes with this you can pick the colour of your hair to make your digital paintings realistic. Or even the pattern of your tie to turn the background very artistic. But how?

I/o Brush Treats World as a Palette

I/O brush is the wonder boy. You can use the brush to pick up textures, colours and patterns from anything and then paint it onto a digital canvas. So how does it work?

The inside of brush has a camera, lights, touch sensitive optic strands. When the brush comes in contact with a surface, the optic strands sense it and lights up the bulb. Once the frame is clear the camera takes a snapshot and stores it in an internal memory. And you can retrieve it onto the digital canvas whenever you are ready to paint.

The I/O brush is now in its conceptual phase. Surely the artists of tomorrow can make real use of it.

Latest lcd

The future of e-readers are going to be colourful and bright. The start up called FirstPaper from Media giant Hearst Corp. are pouring in money and effort to make it happen. This may be with a colour version of energy sipping e-ink in Sony reader.

LG Philips FirstPaper E Reader

Reports say that this may be based in Linux. The team is speculating that it should be offering tough competition to the market rulers, Sony Reader, Amazon Kindle and Ectaco Jetbook. Surely the price factor also has to be counted seriously.

E-Paper

Who will not buy it if it is as flexible as newspaper and can turn pages by touching the screen? Ofcourse the wireless capabilities has to work well too to make things really happen.

Samsung Glyde


After seeing pictures of the Samsung Glyde, I believe that we have seen just about everything that can be done with cell phones. It appears that the new industry standard could be a touchscreen along with a QWERTY keyboard. Obviously some new iPhone-ish type of gadget has to come out in order to really revolutionize the mobile phone market any further.

Until then, there is the Glyde. The Glyde is surfing the present industry standard with its touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. The Glyde, whose official name is the Samsung SCH-U940, has some other very interesting features. Not only does it have a GPS, but there is a full HTML browser as well as V CAST Muisc and Video.

Verizon Wireless makes Moto Q9c available


Verizon Wireless seems to be on a warpath here, having recently released the BlackBerry Curve 8330 earlier this week, only to follow up that move by announcing the availability of the Moto Q9c on its online store as well as all Verizon Wireless business sales channels from today (May 9) onwards. For those who have been lusting after this smartphone, you can pick it up from any Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, including those in Circuit City, within the coming weeks as shipments start to arrive. This smartphone targets business professionals and boasts some pretty powerful capabilities, including access to over 14 million points of interest thanks to Verizon Wireless’ very own popular VZ Navigator service. Other specifications can be found after the jump.

Verizon Wireless rolls out Motorola W755


I seriously wonder what the folks at Motorola are doing, as releasing phones such as the W755 over Verizon Wireless isn’t going to win them any points with the consumers anytime soon, and it looks as though time is running out for the Big M as they suffer from their own success - the RAZR. It has been a fair number of years since the RAZR hit the market, and since then many variations as well as newer models based on the original design have rolled out, but none of them truly embodied the spirit of the original RAZR, causing Motorola to lose market share to its other rivals while seeing its stock price plummet just like how the greenback is compared to other major currencies around the world. If you don’t think that the W755 won’t be able to save Motorola, why not head on after the jump to read up on its rather mediocre specifications list.

Slimmest LCD


Like the LCD televisions weren’t already thin enough, the guys at C|NET decided to out do themselves and designed the slimmest LCD-screen television that is on the market at this point. It is 10 inches thick and has a 58-inch JVC HD-58S998.

It seems though that this catwalk thin television has a problem with displaying perfectly straight vertical or horizontal lines, but if you aren’t blessed with eagle sight and you don’t have obsessive-compulsive syndrome, I don’t quite see why should you would be bothered by that.

Not to mention that according to C|NET, this devices creators, the price would be as shocking as the thickness of the television, meaning slim as it. Well, we don’t have the price yet, but still, f you want a DLP set that is close to perfection and you don’t want to your pockets to be as thin as the TV you buy, you should really consider taking a look at this LCD.

Sanyo Xacti S70


The new Sanyo Xacti S70 amazes through its high number of pixels, a total of 7 million. Also, a great feature of this device is its ability to recognize the face, so a portrait can be taken in an environment with poor lightning. Its 3x optical zoom allows you to take photos down to the smallest detail. It can also record first class VGA. It is equipped with a Quick Focus device so that snap shots taken while in motion will prove to be of an outstanding accuracy. You can admire the photos you’ve taken on a crystal-clear LCD monitor of 2.5 inch. It runs on alkaline batteries and a pair would have to hold you for about 250 photos.

Because of its exceptional abilities the Sanyo S70 is perfect for beginners as it helps the see the flaws and mistakes right from the start. The cameras tiny dimensions are very handy both for carrying around and for taking pictures. Its size is of 92×60x22 so it fits perfectly in your pocket.

Brain Trainer A hand held game for your brain


Well, nowadays everyone is going to the gym, everybody works out, everybody wants to build up muscles. But what about the brain? Doesn’t it feel a little left behind? Well, not anymore because thanks to the new Brain Trainer your brain will keep in shape.

The new Brain Trainer is a hand held game, created to insure the growth of your brainpower. The games with which he is equipped activate your frontal cortex, the part of your brain that is responsible with you creativity, memory and communication.

Devised by a Japanese neuroscientist, this gadget contains a series of games in which you have to count, add, subtract and many more other things, and all things that you do, you have to do as fast as you can. Besides battling against the computer you can also battle against yourself through the timing of your each session and trying to decrease the period of time through which you finish the game. So if you ever find like your loosing brain power just hook up your Brain Trainer with a couple of triple A batteries and start working on it.



Sumitomo set to produce 40-inch OLED panels in 2009



Not that there was any doubt that OLED is on its way to larger sizes (hasn't it been since like 2005?), but Japanese firm Sumitomo Chemical announced its plans to produce 40-inch OLED panels for HDTVs some time in 2009, meaning Sumitomo-based TVs could hit the market in 2009 or 2010. Samsung's old-skool 40-inch OLED HDTV prototype shown above for scale

SciFi Chair


After the development of gaming chairs that move according to the games action and computer beds designed so that you end up being a “computer potato” and never see anything else weather you’re awake or sleeping, now G-Tech Neber releases a chair that confirms the theory that sitting correctly on a chair is so overrated.

This new SciFi chair is at present on show in Korea. The design includes so much chrome, that it actually looks like one of those Matrix chairs - you don’t have to take the blue pill.

The company says that, giving so much support to the back, head, hands, wrists, back and feet, the chair is completely ergonomical. Also, having the curved back, the chair gives you the opportunity to seat in any position you want. Just look at the picture, it looks so cool!

S3000, A6000 & M8000 Pavilion Slimline by HP


Three new models of desktop PC series have been launched into the market by HP. The three models of the Pavilion Slimline series are s3000, a6000 and m8000. The first one comes with 1GB of RAM, and you can pick either a AMD CPU or an Intel CPU, but for the later you have to pay an extra 50$. If not you can buy it for 500$. The PC can be set with a low graphic card, maybe a TV tuner and a Pocket Media Drive.

You can buy the a6000 at a lower price then the s3000. It’s just 330$ but you would be throwing off some memory because it has only 512 MB of RAM. But the bright side is that it comes with an Intel CPU, a Pocket Media Drive and a graphics card. But the “jewel of the crown” is the m8000. And the price says so to. At 950$ it has a DVD drive and again you can pick between a dual core AMD or Intel processor. All three models have Windows Vista preinstalled

Acer's 18.4-inch Aspire 8920G laptop gets reviewed


First things first: just in case that headline didn't really sink in, this is an 18.4-inch laptop. In other words, those of you with even the slightest of back problems should probably just pass this one right on by. If you're still with us, however, you'll likely be totally engrossed by Laptop Mag's review of the Acer Aspire 8920G. The larger of the two second-gen Gemstones was said to feature a "gorgeous" Full HD display, impressive audio output, a respectable webcam and plenty of power under the hood. They also found the unique CineDash Media Console to be quite effective, save for accidentally activating the multimedia hub on occasion. Overall, critics deemed the lappie a "stellar" machine, but we'd certainly recommend browsing through the review just to make sure you're really interested in picking up a slab this gigantic.

Fujifilm Finepix S100FS


This full-bodied snapper has more Xs to it than a naughty girl show in Las Vegas


Forget triple X or even quadruple X, this bad boy has no less than 14 X zoom to its name, thanks to its eye-popping super-zoom lens. With a twist of your wrist, you can zip the FS100's generous optics from a landscape-spanning 28mm wideangle setting to a paparazzi-impressing 400mm telephoto. Basically, it lets you frame almost any scene perfectly, without waiting for a whiny motorised lens to zoom in or having to swap for more powerful glassware.

But this is no digital SLR: you can't swap the lens out and the viewfinder shows only a flickery electronic image instead of the bright view you get with a real SLR. So what do you get for half a grand? Behind the crisp (and optically stablised) lens lives a respectable 11MP sensor that can pump out vivid images, smartface detection and red-eye removal technology, plus colour tweaks that aim to copy Fujifilm's old Velvia and Provia 35mm films.

The detailed 2.5-inch screen can fold out to help framing, and there are manual features, burst modes and sharp VGA movie clips. But it's also much slower and heavier (a kilo!) than today's nippy SLRs -- unless you really need to pack all that optical power in one punch, a twin lens SLR kit will save you money, time and weight.

Fujitsu lets loose U810, T2010 tablet PCs


Fujitsu wasn't all that specific about pricing or release details when it announced its new U810 and T2010 tablet PCs earlier this year, but it looks like both have now finally made their way out the door. In case you missed it, the big addition this time around is the inclusion of a built-in HSPA modem (and rather obvious antenna), which will run you an extra $200 on top of the $999 and $1,499 base prices for the U810 and T2010, respectively. Otherwise, you can expect the same 5.6-inch and 12.1-inch displays as before, along with the usual 800MHz Intel A110 processor on the U810 and a decidedly speedier Core 2 Duo 7600 processor on the T2010, among other specs not too different from the previous models.

Flip Ultra Video Camera with Built-In USB Stick


The quest for the coolest gadget for many people ultimately boils down to finding a device that merges form, usability, usefulness, and time saving in one. When I think of the time wasted using a lot of video capture tools, it blows my mind that a more time efficient way of shooting a video and uploading it to your computer hasn’t been a key innovation from major gadget producers.

I think I’ve finally found that mix of effectiveness and ease of transfer in the Flip Ultra Video Camera. While it’s not the perfect gadget for the pro video photographer among us, it’s mix of over simplified usability and accessories makes it a great tool for the amateur shooter.

Possibly the coolest feature the Flip offers is its simple flip-out USB stick, which makes uploading videos as simple as whipping out the on-board peripheral and plugging it right into your port. The video transfer couldn’t be any easier unless it did it for you (which it probably will someday.)

Driver’s Ed for Nintendo DS



Every kid wants to learn how to drive a car before he or she even goes to school, but Driver’s Education is any kid’s least favorite class. I never thought driving could be made so boring.

Fortunately, teenagers today can now learn Driver’s Education from this great game on the Nintendo DS called Drivers Ed Portable. Developed by DreamCatcher Games and JoWooD, it offers a “fun way for new drivers to study the material”.

This game features two modes: Test and Train. The Test mode has some sample tests from all 50 states for the written part of the driver’s license examination. It also has tests from 13 Canadian provinces and territories, as well as tests from other countries such as Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. As players take these tests, the game tracks a player’s progress so that he or she knows what areas are needed for improvement.

AT&T jumps onto the mobile TV bandwagon



AT&T is nearly one year late to the game, having launched its mobile TV service this Sunday and playing catch up with bitter rival Verizon Wireless by offering broadcast TV services for those who are constantly on-the-go. Unfortunately, AT&T’s Mobile TV will be restricted to only a couple of clel phones, and high end ones at that. First off we have the touch screen maestro Vu from LG, while the other would be the Access from Samsung. The Vu and Access will retail for $399.99 and $299.99, respectively, although you can cut off $100 from that retail price with a mail-in rebate. Needless to say, picking up either would mean having you tie down yourself to a 2-year contract with AT&T.

Gigaset Eco Visions - Leaf


By creating the new design study “Gigaset Eco Visions” Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices (SHC) has taken a further step in realizing their vision of stylish and environmental-friendly cordless phones of superior quality. The first two concept phones out of this series, “Solar” and “Leaf” (picture), were introduced at the Gigaset Press Day 2008 in Windsor. The phones have been engineered to be eco-friendly in terms of design, technology, materials, and characteristics throughout the entire product lifecycle – from manufacturing to recycling.

Colorware's Matte Black iPhone Fools Friends, Bloggers


It's not the 3G iPhone, but Colorware's Stealth iPhone trades in the silver trim and brushed metal back for an entirely matte black motif. It's also extraordinarily expensive, weighing in at $675 and $775 to the stock model's $399 and $499. Colorware does throw in a matte black iPhone dock and pair of earbuds, but even that probably doesn't justify the increased cost. Then again, some people really love black.

Latest iRobot





Noah Shachtman over at Wired has a very interesting look at iRobot's six year battle with Robotic FX, a company started by a former employee who allegedly (and probably) stole schematics and plans in order to build a competitor. There's too much detail to work into a short summary, but Jameel Ahed, the former employee, was caught by a private investigator deleting documents and shredding CDs containing data that belonged to iRobot.

Siemens Gigaset S680





The Siemens Gigaset S680 features Bluetooth® and Gigaset QuickSync software to synchronize all the vCard contacts stored in your phone and PC. You can use a Bluetooth® wireless headset to talk handsfree while you continue working on other things. Thanks to new energy-saving ECO DECT technology, this model also uses up to 60% less energy than our conventional cordless phones.

If you have Microsoft Outlook®, you can synchronize the data on your PC with your handset using the free Gigaset QuickSync software. Bluetooth® lets you download screensavers and Picture CLIP¹ images too.

Dell Introduces Their Smallest, Greenest PC


Michael Dell, the king of Dell, just previewed his company's smallest and greenest desktop PC yet at FORTUNE Brainstorm: GREEN. There's no name for this mini green PC, shown rendered above, but it's 81% smaller than a mini tower and 70% less energy-consuming. It's also shipped in recycled and recyclable packaging, and look a whole lot like those cheapo Sun workstations that colleges love(d) to use. As long as this machine is at least as powerful as a laptop (we don't mean an Eee PC), we're all for Dell's enviro-conscious direction.

Asus' VX3 Lamborghini Laptop Arrives, Costs 2% of Real Lambo



Asus just gave a new look and hardware upgrade to its Lamborghini laptop. The VX3 edition has a 12.1" screen, weighs 3.6 lbs, and features such luxe amenities as a sapphire-crystal lens on the built-in camera, a handmade leather palm rest and a titanium alloy hinge. There is also the "authentic" Lamborghini logo to show all the kids at school what car you really want to drive when you're a balding 45-year-old with a sizable investment portfolio and two ex-wives. The PC specs aren't bad, but to be expected in a $3,300 laptop: 320GB HDD, a NVidia GeForce 9300 graphics card, Intel T9300 Core2 Duo chipset and 4GB of RAM, plus HSDPA wireless.

Waterproof PSP Bath Bag Is Every 9-Year-Old's Wet Dream




As Adrian pointed out, if we had these PSP bath bags when we were nine, we'd be a whole lot cleaner and a whole lot wrinklier than we are now. It's a bag. It holds your PSP. It goes into baths. That's pretty much all you need to know. It's unclear to us why you couldn't just get a sandwich bag from Target that would do the same thing, but sandwich bags don't have that fancy pants cord at the top. Does the PSP camera work with Skype video? Because we have an idea... [Impress via PSP Fanboy via Kotaku]

RevoPower Wheel Gas Powered Bicycle




The RevoPower Wheel is a really cool new invention that makes your regular foot powered bicycle into a Gas Powered Bicycle while letting you travel cheaply, efficiently, and easily. The RevoPower Wheel is simply a 25cc two-stroke gas-powered engine and gears within the front wheel of a bicycle. Revo says it can be installed on any bicycle by any person with very basic mechanical skills.

revo-power-wheel-gas-powered-bicycle.jpg

All you have to do is select your bike (most bicycles with 26" wheels will work), remove your old wheel, open your new wheel, and install your new wheel. Sounds pretty simple to me. Your just replacing it! Your new Gas Powered Bicycle can now travel for 200 miles per gallon at a top speed of 20 mph. To start the engine simply start peddling while the wheel can be used manually or motorized at any time. The RevoPower Wheel is expected to come out in the first quarter of 2007 retailing around $400, but you can reserve your wheel today at Revo.

BenQ-Siemens Transformer


The folks at the BenQ-Siemens design HQ must have been using that Volcano for a bit too long because these phone concepts are pretty far out there. The first is a snake-like phone that can wrap on your arm (?) and has controls on the outside. The second phone is a, uh, I don't know really. It is just a phone with a crazy design and screen that flips out and can rotate. The last phone is a bit more normal—full screen display/touchscreen and sliding control bar. Luckily they are only conceptual designs, meaning there is a .0001-percent chance of actually being manufactured.

Apple has introduced some fatter iPhones and iPod touch devices to counter user grumbles that storage was a bit weedy.
The iPhone now has a 16GB model for £329, to sit alongside the current the 8GB model, which costs £269. That’s £60 for double the storage. The iPod touch now sports a more useful 32GB model for £329 (inc. VAT), joining the existing 16GB and 8GB models which cost £269 and £199, respectively. I know at least two mates who got the 8GB iPhone and 16GB iPod touch as Christmas pressies and who will soon be kicking the cat in frustration.





Usually don't get super excited about concept cars, but this Land Rover LRX Concept has something we're quite interested in: iPhone integration. Not only does it have a slot carved out especially for the phone that allows it to dock into the car like some sort of brushed-metal lover, it's even got a gigantic "Start" button that appears so you can (we presume confirmed!) start the car! In addition to this, there's an iPod docking station on either side of the power-adjustable speakers, so you can take even more music on the go. Check the jump for an even sexier shot, and hit Jalopnik for exterior photos.

All-in-One Digital Eyepiece Camera for Hunters, Birdlovers, Spies


MINOX aims to bring "affordable digiscoping to everyone" with its new Digital Eyepiece Camera 5.0. Unlike traditional digiscoping methods of attaching a digital camera to a telescope, the 5.0 is an all-in-one solution that combines a camera, scope and eyepiece into a single device. Features include a 2.4-inch TFT screen, 40x magnification, 128MB of internal memory, SD card expansion up to 4GB, and it's waterproof and shockproof. At a price of $449 it is a hell of a lot cheaper than a good DSLR with a telephoto lens, and more convenient to use than a pieced-together digiscope.
