If you can touch type then the safetype keyboard could be for you. Rather then using a standard flat keyboard layout the safetype splits the keyboard in half and puts the keys vertical which supposedly is a more natural way your hands function. It is built to reduce RSI (repetitive stress injuries) making a more comfortable typing experience. Costing $295 it is priced on the highend, but if you suffer with pains while typing and after then this keyboard might sort you out.

Back in 2002 the Xentex Flip-Pad Voyager was first seen. It was classed as groundbreaking due to the screen layout. Weighing 12.6 pounds we can see it is literally ground breaking. It was a device that had 2 x 13.3 inch displays which when together worked as one screen. The right hand screen can swivel 180 degrees allowing for client presentations. An option to attach 2 further monitors to the sides makes it in to a quad screen notebook (desktop replacement). To make this desktop replacement more portable the screens fold down as you would expect, but then the whole device folds in half to make it half the width, but double the height. When unfolded the device is 19.5 inches wide by 14 inches tall.

It was powered by a 1.1 – 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon processor and cost around $5000 when launched in 2003.

Has anyone ever seen one of these for real? or did they just die down?

The HDMS-S1D comes from Sony and is a feature packed Digital Photo Album. The device can be attached to a HDTV via a HDMI cable and has an 80Gb hard drive allowing a ton of photos to be stored and kept in 1 location. Transferring files to the device is easy as it sports a number of memory card formats as well as a CD reader, DVD and USB or network connections. Once the photos are on there (50000+) high res, you can file them away by using the remote control on a simple interface. It costs $400 so would be affordable to those who want to take and store a lot of photos. Although nothing is mentioned about backups we can assume the Ethernet cable can be used to transfer files to the PC so you have photos in 2 locations.

The G.41 is made by Blusens and is a cool looking PMP which measures 160 x 65 x 13 mm. The screen is 4.3 inch and touch screen allowing for fairly comfortable viewing of MPEG4 movies. Wi-Fi is another feature of this device allowing fast connections to the internet should you be in a hotspot. An FM radio is built in as well as camera, voice recorder and the device features a loud speaker to listen to the music or audio from a movie.

I have not come across a burnt out Wii yet, or seen any heating issues mentioned anywhere, but that doesn’t stop Nyko introducing the Wii Intercooler. The device attaches to the back of the wii and plugs in to the power input which then allows the power cord to be plugged in to that. The fan then positions over the vent allowing the Wii to cool down (although it runs fairly cool anyway).

The latest wireless mouse comes from Buffalo. It has an 800dpi laser sensor and a scroll wheel. The mouse is wireless and works on the 2.4GHz band. To connect it to your PC you need to use the USB receiver which is stowed away inside the mouse when travelling. The receiver is good for 10 metres which is suitable for most applications. The device is powered by 2 AA batteries which should power the mouse for about 160 hours.

Costing $70 it seems a little on the high end for a fairly regular mouse.

The Gun mouse adds a bit more realism to your shoot-em-up games with it being obviously… in the shape of a gun. To perform a left click you pull the trigger and for a right click you push a button on the hand grip. First impressions seem to indicate it works like a joystick, but a close look indicates it might actually just slide around life a mouse but with a gun attached to the top. It costs ‚¬10 and appears to be available now in France I believe.

The Eye Toy for the PS2 was a cool camera which you stuck on your TV and played games by jumping around in front of the screen. It was a toy which some hate and some love. The PS3 version named just the Playstation Eye, is due out soon which is a low res camera used for games and video chats over the TV. Costing $39.99 it boasts a few more features then the Eye Toy for the PS2. It now works in low level light areas, has 2 zoom levels and can capture video at a lower resolution up to 120 frames per second. At the 640 x 480 res it can do 60 FPS which is still cool. A built in microphone is also included allowing conversation, or voice commands in games.

I came across one heck of an ugly mouse today. It’s a hand mouse which as the name suggests, it’s shaped like a hand. It appears to have two buttons (one on each fingernail maybe?) and be wired (probably USB). It looks almost authentic with the skin even sporting hairs. I have no idea if it feels like a hand to touch or if it’s hard plastic. Either way it ranks high on the freaky-o-meter. Also, check out them teeth underneath.

This cool t-shirt has a wifi signal detector built in. When walking around the t-shirt will display the strength of wi-fi signals around you. This will save valuable minutes as it hunts for a signal for you. Once you see the signal bars increase you can then whip out the laptop and get working away. Too bad it doesn’t show the SSID’s and if WEP is enabled. It will detect 802.11b or 802.11g signals. Also the t-shirt is machine washable. Just make sure you take out the battery pack and screen before putting it through a spin cycle. 3 AAA batteries will power this beast for several hours.
