Modu have created a tiny phone that has interchangeable cases that allows different features to be used. Examples of cases could include a music based case that would move the phone to show more music features, or the GPS case which would allow for navigation to be used. The Modu phone is also the lightest phone.
As of now, four casings are available. The phone it’s self is quite basic in that it has just a 1.3 inch OLED screen, Bluetooth, (no wi-fi) and it isn’t even 3G. [Read more…]
The Lunar Lander game kind of reminds me of them grabber games in the arcades where you need to pick up a teddy bear. This version has a lunar lander module attached to the arm which you need to carefully control till you land on a specified target. A number of old school instruments and dials let you know if your moving too fast and what speed etc…
The game is based around an ATMEL AVR microcontroller and uses an Arduino board to connect it to a USB port, via serial to a PC. [Read more…]
We recently received a USB Battery Charger to take a look at. This version is different to the USB Cell that we wrote about a few years back in that it’s a charging unit that you put batteries in rather then the batteries themselves housing a USB connector.
The USB charger only takes 1 type of battery that is a 1500mAh capacity 1.2V NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride). 2 of these batteries come supplied with the unit and when using the charger, both batteries must be inserted in the charging unit. [Read more…]
It seems like YouTube is venturing in to 3D and following the general trend for this year hoping that 3D will be here to stay. This past weekend they began experimenting with 3D videos. The engineer responsible for the tests was actually using his “20% time” that google gives to employees to experiment and try new things out.
Videos can be viewed in various ways by using various strings on the end of the URL. These include yt3d:enabled=true to enable the view mode, ytd3:aspect=3:4 to set the aspect ratio, yt3d:swap=true to switch over the left and right sources of the encoded video. [Read more…]
These cool looking eyes 
The cool eyes are called the Animated Ominous Eyes and are illuminated to provide a sinister gaze as visitors come to your house at night. The eyes also blink to add to the eerie effect.
The eyes adhere to a window with the built-in suction cups, set up in your yard with the included lawn stakes, or hang in bushes, and can be set to blink slowly or project a fixed, ominous stare. Using electroluminescent technology (the same backlighting used in automotive instrument panels), the pupils and eyelids project a bright red glow that is clearly visible day or night.
The ace little RC helicopter can be charged by the USB port on your PC or Laptop. It is made of a light weight metal and has a gyroscope system inside that helps with stability when flying.
It’s a perfect office gadget and one well worth buying should you get some spare time to fly it around the office when you have nothing better to do. [Read more…]

Amazon have decided to make a complete u-turn on the original decision not to replace cracked Amazon Kindle 2’s. Amazon have now confirmed that replacement’s will happen.
The original stance by Amazon was that they were going to charge $200 to fix the damage as their warranty did not cover cracks. However, after a class-action lawsuit was started (many had this problem) which appears to have convinced Amazon to replace broken items. [Read more…]
