The TyTN II from HTC was released recently. Dave over at MobilityToday managed to get hold of one for review and first impressions are quite good. Some bad things noted are the battery being too low capacity even though GPS, 802.11, HSDPA can be found which means less time using the device. GPS is not configurable, although it does just work with out problems. On the good side there is a great screen which can tilt allowing for better viewing. There is a lot of ram packed in there. The camera is 3 megapixel. TomTom is installed and it has USB charging which is great news.

Dave has more details over on his site as well as a full review to be expected soon.

This digital pen was created by a company in Israel and comes with a USB flash drive and receiver which stores the image and pen movements on to it. The pen eliminates the use of paper copies of text. The pen has sensors in which can work out what you are writing and then duplicate and transmit the data. The pen is set to cost $79.

When you are out for a long drive and suddenly crave a cheese toasted sandwich then this one built for a car could come to the rescue. It plugs in to your lighter socket on your car and can create some seriously nice sandwiches anywhere you are parked. Although its a real bizarre idea, I could actually see a good use when you are parked up somewhere on a long day out in the cold and you just want something warm to keep you going.

The sandwich maker for your car will cost you $18 in the sale over at skingcompany.

Roll up Keyboard

The flexible keyboard isnt new, but it seems like Yahoo are now branding some, making them purple and selling them from the online Yahoo store. You can pick up one of these full rubberized QWERTY keyboards, which also has a keypad, for $52. It measures 13.75 x 5.25 inches and can easily stow away when not needed. Yahoo doesnt mention how it connects up though, so I am unsure if it is USB, Bluetooth or Wireless. It looks quite cool, but lets hope the keyboard is responsive when typing.

The iAudio 7 DAP player has been released by Cowon. You may have seen them before with the ever creative iAudio 6 player. The screen is just 1.3 inches making the player very small. The screen can be display 260k colours. It now uses flash memory (8GB) rather then the 0.85 inch disk drive in version 6. Support has been added for FLAC and OGG. What impresses me most, other then the looks of the device, is that it has a lithium polymer battery which will last 60 hours. The DAP can be charged via USB which is great if you are out and about travelling. The iAudio 7 player will set you back $246 for the 8GB flash version.
