RoadBox Accident Recorder
December 28, 2006 by Leave a Comment
If you have ever been in a car accident and wish you had a witness to back your claim then the roadbox could be ideal for you. The RoadBox does exactly what you need it to. It will record your journey and if the unfortunate should happen then you will have a recording of what actually happened. The problem is that one of these would need to be on each corner of your car if you were to get hit from an angle out of the viewing angle of the camera. It is still a great idea though and ideal for those who do lots of mileage or have bad luck when behind the wheel.

Inspired by DS – Built by Ben Heck
December 22, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Ben Heck has created a new Atari and this time it is inspired by the Nintendo DS. The device that was cut up and reshaped was the Atari VCSp. A step by step guide is included on the website for those of you who are electronically minded and want to try this out. The result is a kind of chunky DS like device with a fold out screen and a cartridge slot at near side. It is amazing to see the size of DS cartridges compared to Atari cartridges and the amount they have shrunk… also take in to consideration that the amount of data stored on a DS will be larger then that of the Atari cartridge.

Skype Video Phone
December 17, 2006 by Leave a Comment
VpIP is becoming more and more integrated with our day to day lives. I can access VoIP from my cell phone, I have a VoIP phone on my desk in the office and my home phone is also VoIP. Voice over IP has changed the way that calls can be made and has allowed us easier access to speak to those who are far away for next to nothing and in some cases for free. We can carry our home phone around anywhere in the world and as long as you can find an internet connection then people can keep in touch with you as though you are next door to them.
As VoIP becomes more popular, more and more research is done to make those internet calls more reliable, clearer to give you the best experience. Why would they do this though? Well… if they didnt then we would all stick to our regular and reliable land line phones and never progress.
Skype is now offering a video phone. The compression technology and higher bandwidth availabilities can now allow us to communicate more clearly with video. 3J communications have put both Skype and video calls in to the Skype Video Phone. The video phone allows for a frame rate of 30fps running at 320 x 240 pixels. The phone has the camera built in so that a web cam is not needed as an extra feature. Any call that senses the camera will trigger it automatically. I seriously hope that this is an option and not an item that you cannot switch off 🙂
With it being a Skype certified phone it allows for the basics like your contact list, SkypeOut, echo cancellation for handsfree (and camera) operation. The conversation is full duplex which stops the annoying breaks in conversation when another noise in the background is heard.
The Skype video phone is packaged at just 56.88 dollars and can be used with Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger.

For those of you who remember the good old cassette days then this device could be for you. If you have recently looked through your top 40 recording of the charts then you might find tracks from artists such as MC Hammer and even further back to bannanarama. What a classic set of songs you have there in old shoe boxes collecting dust. This is where the Plus Deck Cassette Converter comes in to play. The Plus Deck Cassette Converter fits in to a 5.25 inch drive bay on your PC. Basically stick the cassette in the front and away it plays through your sound card so you can capture those fond memories in digital glory.
The player/recorder comes with it’s own software that is simple to use and even has the classic auto reverse function that we all loved in our son walkmans.
Get pressing the Proverbial record and play and bring your childhood in to the digital age.
Sony Ericsson Concept Phone
December 13, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Sony Ericsson create some amazing phones. This concept phone is no exception and looks very classic. It has a slim body which Sony is known for and is about the size of a credit card. The phone is likely to make it to production which is good to hear. The phone will come with an OLED touch screen and keypad.
Exciting times are still ahead with technology getting smaller. No doubt in a few years time you will be able to carry everything you need in the 1 device. We are getting there now, but I still find that web browsing and a few other features are still not quite suited to a smaller screen. Maybe one day 🙂

Cyberman Replica Display Helmet
December 9, 2006 by Leave a Comment
For those who love Dr Who, then you need to check this out. Firebox are now offering the Cyberman Replica Display Helmet which you can buy. Cybermen are another of Dr Who’s enemies along side the Daleks too. When all 3 are in a room it is sure to be a great episode to watch on the screen. The cyberman helmets are created from the original moulds used for the latest Dr Who series and are not low in quality. They are made of 11 seperate components and the majority are cast in cold aluminium resin which makes the helmet look as it did on the screen and also cold to touch. None of these helmets are the same due to how they are produced although you would have to have a keen eye to spot the differences.
Do not try to wear this 🙂 It’s display only, so unfortunatly you cannot go scaring your friends.
Own yours now for the hefty price tag of 569.95 pounds. Order now from Firebox.

Samsung and SAIT have introduced the worlds smallest fuel cell charger. This is another great step forwards in fuel cell technology which is a great source of power for mobile users. The fuel cell charger is 5mm thich and small enough to be able to carry around and can provide power for your mobile should it run out of juice. The fuel cell works by using fuel and as long as you have a source of fuel then it will keep pumping out a steady 2W of electricity.

USB Bowling Ball
November 27, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Loosing a USB flash drive can be seriously annoying and dangerous if you have sensative information on there. Well… this new bowling ball USB drive will not have a chance of being lost because it’s a full sized bowling ball and weighs 16lbs. Unfortunatly it now takes it out of the ultra portable and also out of the carry it around on a regular basis type thing. Still all good though.
The bowling ball is not available to buy as it was custom made by someone who didnt want to loose another USB flash drive.
