Latest Gadgets, Tablets and Smartphones
We just mentioned earlier today that R2-D2 always gets the attention (hence why the R2-Q5 USB Hub was created). Yet again, R2-D2 steals the spotlight again and comes to you in the shape of a tissue paper dispenser.
Although this R2-D2 paper dispenser was designed for the bathroom, it could be used anywhere in the home such as the kitchen. [Read more…]
Many business cards are boring to be honest. Most, if not all just show your name, rank and how you can be contacted. A guy named James Alliban has decided to used augmented reality to create his business cards. The cards were printed at moo.com and on the back contain a graphic which is then captured on to a computer via a webcam. When the camera picks up the little graphic a cool 3D grid of coloured planes pops up, each extruding towards the camera depending on the brightness of the pixel, and then a video can be played back with the business card owner being seen talking with a message about himself.

Dell have introduced an update for their Inspiron 13 laptop. The details were rolled out over in Singapore earlier today where the new version was seen to have an LED backlit display and also a more rounded look.
The screen is in HD resolution which has 1366 x 768 pixels. A 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo processor is also found inside with 2GB of RAM and a 320GB HDD. [Read more…]
Snowcorn is a bracelet with a camera, projector and wi-fi built in. Of course it’s a concept device as can be seen by the ultra small size and 3D renderings, but I still thought it was worth a mention here.
Snorcorn is designed to be worn around your hand and when browsing through books, maps and the likes it projects an image on to the surface of what you are looking at. [Read more…]
R2-D2 is always one of the droids you think of when you see Star Wars. The R2-Q5 USB Hub was designed for those who want something different though.
R2-Q5 was a droid that only appears in Return of the Jedi along with a couple of Lego Star Wars games. The only real difference with this droid is that it’s painted black with red accents and simply just looks different to the usual R2 hub that you see occasionally on someone’s desk. [Read more…]
This vintage Sony Transistor TV was gutted out, drilled, padded, polished and somewhere in that process suddenly became a bag. [Read more…]
Check out the cool Lego Star Wars Emperor Palpatine mini figure necklace available over at Etsy.
The Emperor hangs on an 18″ silver plated chain and is part of a set of Lego Star Wars necklace characters. Check out other characters after the jump. [Read more…]
LG do like their S-Class OS and want everybody to be able to test it out. To achieve this they have created a downloadable widget that allows you to play with the S-Class OS on your computer.
To get it working you just need to visit the “downloadable widget” link above and follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed you can then play around with the cube which features 4 different menu sections that includes Desktop, Widgets, Games and Multimedia. All you do is scroll left or right to access the desired menu and tap on it to load it up. [Read more…]
Normally when you hear of HTC and the G1, G2, Magic, Hero or whatever else you automatically think Android as those ranges of phones by HTC are specifically built for the Android OS.
We then came across the Windows Mobile Version HTC G2 and something about it just doesn’t seem right. The phone, which is pretty much a clone, will be powered by a Huawei K3 460MHz processor, support quadband connectivity on GSM and EDGE and the weird thing is that it’s Windows Mobile 6.1 based.

MoGo are normally associated with ultra-think mice that stow away in the express card slot on a laptop computer. The MoGo Talk is a new gadget that works on the same principle of being small, ultra-thin and storable in your laptop, but this time it’s a bluetooth headset. [Read more…]
For today only, CDiscount in the UK are offering 83% off the Astratec TopD3 Freeview Digital Set Top Box. Rather then the usual £29.99 they are selling it today for £4.99. If you need a digital set top box for cheap then I recommend checking them out as that’s not a bad price at all.
There is a reason for the huge discount though and it’s related to Setanta Sports which this set top box was intended to be used for. Basically, Setanta sports recently ceased to broadcast making it not possible to upgrade to that package. However, it still will give you access to over 40 channels for free. [Read more…]
When the iPhone was launched it came with a nice glossy screen, covered in glass that helped give a crystal clear and sharp display. A couple of years ago these glass-enclosed screens were put on new macs and MacBooks and it worked quite well… for most people that is.
However, some users are not into super shiny screens as they can be often awkward to work with due to light reflecting off the screen making it sometimes hard to read. A rumour is saying that Apple will be looking at extending their anti-glare screens that are only currently available for 17″ macbooks for $50. [Read more…]
