The Storm Launcher seems to come from the cool Hydrofoam we all saw last year. This new RC vehicle is not really a car, plane or boat. It’s really all 3 in 1. It can go on land, water or fly in the air. Just check out the video below.
The above video shows the original Hydrofoam as it was first introduced last year. Storm Launcher have added features to their model such as onboard skill level monitoring which wont let you take off till you have shown you are capable of handling this vehicle. This RC vehicle is bound to amaze your friends and even your self come to think of it.
While on the subject of Ben Heck and the Jaguar and XBox 360, I decided to see if Youtube had any interesting video’s on any of Ben’s home made consoles. The video does show a little bit of the console in action and it’s interesting to see in side the device to see what makes it run. Check out the video below.
The N95 is due out in the next couple of months and is 1 amazing phone. Features such as GPS and a 5 megapixel camera make this phone come out tops. What else grabbed my attention is the 3D graphics chip that is rumoured to be inside. The video clip below shows the 3D capabilities of the phone in the form of a built in game. The frame rate does look great. Check it out.
Most of you will have heard of Ben Heck who created the XBOX 360 Laptop as well as many other portables out of the full size original’s such as the Playstation 1, N64, PS2 and much more. His site is over here.
The latest is the Atari Jaguar. Unfortunatly the Atari Jaguar was a real flop. I know… I sold 1 the whole time I worked at EB, and it got returned under their 10 day returns policy. Anyway, a good customer came along to Ben and he couldnt refuse. Full instructions are included so you can make your own. Hopefully you wont and will decide to make something else on his site
I have been in 2 minds in deciding if I should post this. It’s kind of weird but alas, I decided that it was worth a small mention. The BottomsUp toilet is a totally hands free toilet for all you germ haters out there who are afraid of touching the seat. It can lift up and down and yep… lift up and down again Check out the video over on the BottomsUp website.
I came across Coolbuzz today which looks like another excellent blog on things cool! When I saw the post about a remote controlled lantern I wondered what on earth is this. The remote control lantern is a simple but advanced lantern. It’s remote control and can be switched on from 30 feet away. What ads more to this lantern is it’s ability to run for up to 23 hours.
The lantern’s remote control is small and can easily fit in your pocket. It uses 2 AAA batteries. The lantern has a 7 watt flourescent U-tube which gives off bright white light. The lantern costs $25.99 and is handy for all camping situations.
Nokia have announced that the N93 will include a copy of Mission Impossible 3 on a 512 MB miniSD memory card. The launch of this promotion will be when MI3 is launched on DVD.
The Nokia N93 is one of the N range Nokia mobile phones. THe N93 is capable of taking DVD quality movies at 30fps. The phone has 3x optical zoom which built in stabalization for smoother video shoots. The screen is a 2.4″ high definition colour and the phone can connect direct to your TV.
D-Link have created the DHP-301 which is is hardware which plugs in to the wall and then uses the power cables to transmit information across. This is great for those who do not have or want wi-fi, but also do not have the time to lay networking cables. The kit comes with 2 adapters and costs $219.99. Network speeds of up to 200Mbps are possible through this network set up.
KONDO have created a robot kit which has 17 adjustable joints. The KHR-2HV Humanoid robot kit will set you back $1199. It’s not cheap, but still cool. The 2HV is version 2 of this model which is faster, lighter and can do more.
Unbeatable.co.uk have reviewed the Nintendo Wii due out soon. The console is more powerful then a Game Cube but less powerful then the XBox360. The cool thing about it is the games. The motion sensing controller is what everyone wants to get their hands on and test.
The Dragon USB Mirror Card Reader is just another plain memory card reader. The only difference is that it’s a mirror also, I guess made for girls or something. It has 5 slots built in and can read… CF I, CF II, Microdrive, SM, SD, miniSD, MMC, RS MMC, MS, MS MagicGate, MS PRO, MS Pro MagicGate, MS Duo, MS Duo MagicGate, MS Pro Duo, MS Pro Duo MagicGate, MS Pro Ultra II, MS ROM, MS Select, and T-Flash type cards. Not a bad array of cards there! I just wish they would make 1 format of memory card and that would make life so much better
A number of rumours and drawings of touch screen iPods have been going around the internet for a while now. Apple announced recently that 2007 will be their biggest year for devices. The iPod touch screen is one such rumour which methodshop even posted some iPod patent pictures early on this year.
Along with this rumour is more news (rumour) which say the touch screen iPod will have a wide screen aspect ratio unlike it’s would be competitor from MS, the Zune. If iPod do go ahead with this and rumours are true then the Zune is doomed. Well, maybe anyway
A quote from someone anonymous…
“In a very matter of fact tone I was told that the product was not designed for the current generation of device, but the official 6G iPod… which is to be released in December. His company’s device only comes onto the market shortly before then and would benefit hugely because the new iPod would sport a screen that filled the full side of the device and consequently offer higher resolution video… This is why Jobs isn’t afraid of the Zune,’ he said, though he had no knowledge of whether wireless would make an appearance.”
The folks over at IGN in the UK managed to get their hands on a PS3. The PS3 looks amazing from what we can see in the video clip, and especially with some of the additions such as the photo album. The PS3 that is unboxed is a prototype, but still a PS3 and is pretty much final.
