March 27, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Thinkware, a Korean based company are launching an entry level GPS navigation device over in South Korea. The low end device features some very nice looking 3D navigation.
The iNAVI K3 has a 7 inch WVGA LCD display that shows some very nice visuals to those navigating around. The GPS is powered by a SiRF V6 chipset and inside you’ll also find a hefty 900MHz processor. It has 256MB RAM built in as well as 512MB ROM. The memory can be increased by making use of an SDHC memory card. TO say this is one of the “entry level” devices it certainly does look a lot more visually impressive to what we see over here in the UK. [Read more…]

Sega Storm-G Arcade Attraction
March 27, 2009 by 1 Comment
Sega have launched Storm-G which is a Wipeout style game but without the missiles and such. You are put in the ride and navigate down a futuristic bob-sleigh track.
The game is quite simple in that you need to get from start to finish without crashing. When you go around corners the whole ride rotates around an axis which when you go through tunnels you even find yourself upside down at points. Unfortunately only 2 courses are available at the moment which will hopefully be increased at a later date.
I had quite a laugh playing with Storm-G, but you may not spend days playing with it simply due to its lack of courses available (only 2), and also because this game is quite tiresome, after just 3 races (Hard Level) I was exhausted¦
If you want to play the game now then head on over to Joypolis in Odaiba. If you don’t want to go there which we assume most wont then check out the video below of it in action.

Can Water Cut It?
March 26, 2009 by Leave a Comment
You must have seen the Will It Blend videos where Tom Dickson of Blendtec smashes various gadgets to pieces by using his ultra tough blender. A new company are trying something similar which see’s them asking the question “Can Water Cut It?”
Check out the video below which shows how easily an old iPod can be cut very cleanly in half. The process is very quick and as there is no heat generated from the jet it prevents materials from distorting.
“What makes waterjets so popular? Waterjets require few secondary operations, produce net-shaped parts with no heat-affected zone, heat distortion, or mechanical stresses caused by other cutting methods, can cut with a narrow kerf, and can provide better usage of raw material since parts can be tightly nested.”

Automated Robot Fish to Monitor the Oceans
March 26, 2009 by 2 Comments
British researchers have created some robotic fish that were designed to jump in to the see around Spain and monitor pollution levels in the waters. The robotic fish measure 1.5 meters in length and are fully automated.
The robot fish mimic how real fish move and will navigate around the oceans. Sensors are attached to the fish that can detect oil spills, mercury and other dangerous materials that could polute the waters. To pass the information back the fish is equipped with a wi-fi connection that keeps in in contact at all times. 5 of these fish will be deployed in Spain’s waters next year over at the port of Gijon. If they succesfully work and don’t break down etc… then they could start being used in various sea locations around the world.
The fish cost £20K each and aim to tackle the problem of stuff being intentionally dumped in to the sea.

Periodic Table of Controllers
March 24, 2009 by Leave a Comment
This periodic table doesn’t list your normal chemistry type information. Instead, it was designed to list a bunch of old control pads, paddles and other console input devices.
The Periodic Table of Controllers was designed by a Flickr user who goes by the name of Pixel Fantasy. It details all the specs of each controller like how many buttons it has and what console it is compatible with along to what year the console was released. It makes an interesting read as I am sure you probably wont remember every one of these consoles. [Read more…]
Tupperware PS2 Arcade Stick
March 24, 2009 by 1 Comment
This PS2 arcade stick reminds me of the StreetFighter II stick we mentioned last week. The only differences are 1.)It’s built for the PS2 and 2.)It’s made from Tupperware.
For those of you not familiar with Tupperware, they created a bunch of plastic dishes, bowls and tubs to store food in. The tubs tend to come in all sizes, so finding one to house a PS2 arcade stick seemed like the right thing to do. [Read more…]
