Waking up in the morning is perhaps one of the most annoying parts of the day. Nobody likes to wake up at the wrong time feeling like they just need that few minutes extra sleep. The aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm clock was designed to tackle that problem by analysing your sleep patterns through the night and waking you up at a time where you are not in the middle of a deep sleep. By waking up at the right time it prevents the groggy feeling you get sometimes in the morning.
We were given an aXbo alarm clock to test for a couple of weeks to see how it performs and if it works as well as it claims it does. In short, it seems to do what it says on the box in that each morning I woke up I never seemed to wake up in the middle of a deep sleep. Lets take a closer look though to see how it actually works and what it actually does to prevent the groggy mornings. [click to continue…]
I really don’t get the point of the USB Hub Alarm Clock. I just don’t remember a time when an alarm clock woke me up and I had the sudden urge to connect up 4 USB devices to it… but I guess the creators have done their research and found there is a need for such a device. With it being an alarm clock you would expect it’s for the side of your bed, but as it’s a hub does it sit with your PC on the desk? If so, doesn’t your computer tell the time anyway? Confusing!
This USB hub doubles up as an alarm clock. It has 4 USB 2.0 ports that can be rotated 90 degrees. A transfer rate of up to 480Mbps can be achieved with the hub.
If you have ever seen those dancing games in the arcades where you tap your feet in time to the music in a specific routine then this is exactly what this alarm clock is… well, a tiny bit smaller.
The Palm Pre was launched this past weekend and new owners have been surprised to see that when the phone was switched on that an OTA (over the air) update to webOS 1.0.2 was ready for download. The update is a last minute release which is 67 meg in size and is ready to download over Sprint’s EVDO network.
Verizon have announced that they have launched the

The Gun O’Clock is an alarm clock that requires a shot to hit the bullseye to shut it up. 
The majority of alarm clocks just beep away and allow you to hit snooze and still sleep in. Over the last few years alarm clock makers have been getting more creative by creating loud explosions or by having the alarm clock run away. The Hanging Alarm Clock follows this pattern by running away from you “up towards the ceiling”. 
I like energy monitors because they let you know exactly how much money you are pointlessly burning each day. The Wattson Energy Monitor is the next energy monitor to become available. 
The iGala is a linux based photo frame that allows you to do more then just display pictures or movies. With it having a usable OS in there it allows you to do such things as log in to GMail accounts and work around it’s file system with ease. 
If you want to be confused when waking up in the middle of the night then check out this crazy and cool Epoch clock. It has the ability to tell the time in multiple formats that are hexadecimal, Octal and standard as well as binary and roman formats. Imagine trying to work out the time at 3 in the morning. 
Getting out of bed in the morning is one of my hates. Rather then wake up I’d rather just ignore the alarm clock by leaning over to put it on snooze. The Danger Bomb Clock might change this bad habit though as it requires you to defuse a bomb every morning.
