Asus launched the Eee PC this year and it created quite a bit of interest. They are now releasing a new slim desktop PC which will be named the Nova P22. The P22 is a Core 2 Duo desktop computer. The processor is the E6320 and the slim Nova PC sports 1GB DDR2 RAM. The hard drive is fairly large too which is a 160GB SATA. The DVD-RW is a slot drive allowing that to slim the whole size down too. Wireless runs at 802.11n and there are plenty of ports on it for DVI, USB, sound, power and wired Ethernet.
Not a bad little system with that power and ideal for many who are restricted in desk space. The PC also has a stand to hold the Nova in a similar way to the Wii.

A lot of people carry around pens with them. These days a lot of people also need to carry flash drives around with them. This ball point pen comes with a 4GB flash drive built in. Not only a 4GB flash drive is crammed in there though. It also has a laser pen in there too although it’s not as powerful as TechLasers 125mW green laser. It makes for the perfect geeky presentation device. All what is needed now is a mini projector in the end of the pen and you have a PowerPoint presentation right in your pocket.
The device costs $99 which isnt bad for a 3 in 1 device like this.

The good old pedal bike is one of the greenest ways of travelling around. However, some like their cars due to the cool gadgets, sat nav, radio’s and sometimes TV’s. If you cannot give all the luxuries up then you might be able to now with the Cerevellum. The Cerevellum is an information device which attaches to the handlebars of your bike. It can be described as a mini computer which can have 4 modules attached via USB. These modules vary and each is interchangeable as the need changes. For example the Hindsight is a small camera that you mount on the back of your bike. The image is then displayed on-screen allowing you to quickly see what is behind. Another module is the power meter which can track speed, time, distance and keep track of other various statistics of your journey. For those who want a nice workout you could then choose the heart-rate module. This one measures how your heart is doing as you ride along. Of course there is always the GPS module which can be attached to provide directions when you are in unfamiliar territory.
Overall it’s quite a cool bike device which with it’s modular system could easily be expanded. All they need to create now is the air-con mod, the radio mod and the V12 mod.

This computer mod is one of the craziest I have seen. It is shaped like a large bin (trash can) and has all you need to use it as a PC in your home. If you flip open the lid you will see a number of components squeezed in there such as the PSU, motherboard, cables, CD drive etc. Around the back are the connections to hook up a keyboard, mouse, monitor and all your USB devices. No details on the specs though although with a bit of effort, anything could be put in to the can.
