Levitating Clock and Shuttle

September 11, 2006 by Leave a Comment

Things that levitate are cool ๐Ÿ™‚ The levitating clock is no exception to this. It floats with the help of a magnetic field and tells the time also. With the help of a rotating mechanism it will also slowly rotate in the magnetic field also which provides even more entertainment.

To get it working you plug it in, hold the clock in the “sweet spot” and let go. If you get it right it will stay there and float around.

Daylight Projection Clock

September 7, 2006 by 2 Comments

Projection clocks are kind of ok but you really have to squint to be able to see the time. However, the Oregon Scientific Projection Clock is different. This clock’s projector is light sensative and can adjust accordingly to the various light levels that change through out the day. The clock looks quite cool and I wouldnt mind having this in the house. What ads more to it’s coolness is the ability to wave your hand at the sensor to change display settings and even turn off the alarm. That last part is not good for me though… I need the alarm to keep going ๐Ÿ™‚

Daylight Projection Clock

The face of the clock is a black smooth surface which shows the time and temperature and ads to the sleekness of the clock.

Features
* Daylight LED projection displays time and temperature on any surface in any lighting condition

* Features an alarm clock with eight-minute snooze function

This is another player I love the look of. It is a small sleek looking device which has a nice illuminated front panel and some nifty slide out external speakers. The player has a battery capacity of 30 hours when using the headphones and 6 hours when using the external speakers. It will be coming out on the 10th September at $209.99 for the 2Gb version and $259.99 for the 4Gb version. A video has been posted after the jump which gives a nice review of the device and what it’s capable of.

The K5 boasts an FM radio and supports a number of formats such as MP3, WMA, WMA DRM10 and JPEG. It will be first coming out in black but later on they will ad a pink version to the line up.

The K5 also features a built-in FM radio tuner and supports MP3, WMA, WMA DRM10 and JPEG formats. It is available in black and will ship later in the year in pink.

The screen is an OLED touch screen which houses all the controls and graphic equalizer type things that make this look so fine. Enjoy the video ๐Ÿ™‚

X-Twin Bi-Plane

August 25, 2006 by Leave a Comment

Firebox has put on sale another cool rc flying thing. Similar to the Picoz Micro Helicopter we reviewed a few days ago, this one is now a small bi-plane which has 2 props to keep it flying in the air. Nice little living room present I think ๐Ÿ™‚

X-Twin Plane

The Plane
It’s light… at just 20 grammes and has a wingspan of a mere 9″ (3″ short of a foot for those who struggled at maths). It’s made out of some type of foam. With it being made of such a lite material then those who struggle to keep this in the air will be glad to know it generally wont break if you crash the thing.

Controls
The X-Twin plane is easy to control. It has a smart handheld transmitter which also is used to charge the plane. It flys for around 15 minutes which is plenty of fun to be had.

Small Plane

Over all I am impressed with the new range of indoor flying things that are coming out. A couple of years back it was the mini cars (Bit char-g) and now they have taken it the next step on and allowed us to fly around the house ๐Ÿ™‚ Ok, we could do that with the expensive toys but how quick would you break the toy and the living room if you tried that? ๐Ÿ™‚

X-Twin

Go pick one up now from Firebox and have a laugh in your living room or in the office. To make it even cooler there are 2 frequencies available so 2 people can fly together. How cute!
