Wireless Earphones from Sennheiser

January 5, 2008 by Leave a Comment

sennheiser wireless earphones
Over at CES (which hasn’t officially started yet) there are some cool wireless earphones from Sennheiser. They are based on Kleer’s Wireless audio technology and deliver crystal clear CD quality sound. These particular earphones will connect directly to Kleer based products. The base unit pictured above acts as the charger.

A number of head or earphones use Bluetooth technology. These are different as they actually use wireless on the 2.4GHz band. They measure 20 x 34 x 30 mm each. The charging unit also contains a battery which allows the earphones to be charged at least twice while on the road.

The MXW1’s have no price yet, but no doubt more details will flood in when CES officially opens.

Iomega ZIP Drive Desk Clock
The ZIP drive from Iomega was cool back in the days when flash drives were not around and floppy drives were the other best option. What happens now that they are not needed, or broken? You hack away at it to make an Iomega ZIP Drive Desk Clock. This clock pictured above is made from a recycled ZIP 100 drive and uses the original circuit board, drive head and motor armature. It stands 5.5 inches tall and is 4 inches wide. To keep it standing the clock sits on an acrylic stand.

Dell LCD
Dell announced that they are selling a seriously cool looking LCD display. It is named the Dell Crystal Display and measures 22″. The max resolution for this LCD is 1680 x 1050 and it has a very good response time of just 2ms. Built in to the Dell Crystal Display is a webcam as well as 4 speakers. The cost… Just $1199. Although very pricey I have to admit that it does look great.

January 4, 2008 by 1 Comment

hidden_camera_detector
If you are the paranoid sort who thinks everyone is watching you then a hidden camera detector is ideal for you. What this device does it helps you track down if someone has planted a wireless spy camera in your room. The unit is small enough to carry around and will warn you via a flashing LED light if a wireless camera is in range. You can also use the audible alarm too to warn you. The unit can detect frequencies from 50MHz to 3GHz and has some wizardry inside to help reduce false alarms.

Money Miser

Money Miser
Money is here for quite a bit longer yet and therefore, we all need a money miser. Most of you will have a ton of loose change kicking around your pocket or in a shoebox somewhere in the house. What the Money Miser does is sorts out all your coins in to neat wraps. To get it working you just put some empty wraps in the bottom of the machine and chuck your coins in the top. The Money Miser then sorts through them to put everything in order nice and cleanly.

Money Miser

Money Miser Example

The Money Miser costs $14.95 for the machine it’s self, or $19.95 with a box full of money wraps.

Pacman Ghost Pillows

Pacman Ghost Pillows Front
These pillows have Pacman ghosts on them. They are pixelated to give them the old 8-bit effect and come in various colours. The whole set costs $90 (£45 in the UK) with which you get 4 pillows of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde (I never knew they had names). It appears from the listing that when you flip them over they go in to the mode where you can eat them and they look like this below.

Unfortunately there is only 1 of this collection in stock at Etsy. Hopefully they will sell more in the future.

The Das Keyboard II is Missing Something

January 3, 2008 by Leave a Comment

das-keyboard
The keyboard above is odd in that it has no text written on any of the keys. They are completely blank. According to claims made by Das, this type of keyboard can quickly better your typing skills as most people tend to look down at the keys when they type. With them having no key marks on them, it quickly gets you out of the habit of looking for the next key to type. The F and J keys have markings on like a regular keyboard so that you can feel where to put your hands when starting to type.

The Das Keyboard II is available from Amazon and costs $79.95 which might seem a bit barmey. But, it does sport gold plated clicky keys which allow for better typing and up to 50 million key strokes as opposed to 10 – 15 million on your regular keyboards.

Mini Candy Grabber for the Home

January 3, 2008 by Leave a Comment

candy grabber
Grabbers at amusement parks are often annoying as you very rarely win anything and spend a fortune for nothing. This mini candy grabber allows you to put all your left over Christmas chocolates inside and grab them, but for free. You get supplied with some fake coins to use and I guess if you were feeling nasty you could always charge your office friends to have a go. You get 1 minute 15 seconds to grab the chocolate per coin and the tacky music speeds up towards the end. If successful you hear an applause. The hole in the top is too small to cheat and grab sweets although with it being desk top sized you can always just flip it over and shake it to get your sweets back.

Features

* A desktop Candy Grabber, fairground-style.
* A claw that you manoeuvre around to grab your sweet treats.
* Three joystick style controls, moving the grabber-forwards and backwards, up and down, and contracting and releasing the claw.
* Fairground music that lasts for one minute and fifteen seconds.
* A bag of fake coins.
* A slot to fill the machine with goodies.
* Suitable for ages 5 years+.
* Requires 3 x C Batteries (not included).
* Size: 32 x 21 x 16cm.

The mini candy grabber is available from IWOOT and costs £17.95.

Nintendo DS 2

January 3, 2008 by 58 Comments

nintendo-ds-2Back in December, Gizmodo created a wishlist about the next Gen Nintendo DS. Phil Nolan, a 3D artist, liked what he saw there and got to work creating a 3D rendering of what a Nintendo DS 2 could look like. Taking ideas from the iPhone, PSP and Wii the DS 2 pictured above was created. As can be seen, the faces of the device are shiny and the screens are larger then the regular DS. If Nintendo took some advice from Phil they would have a killer looking machine.
