V-MODA introduces Vibrato noise-isolating in-ear headphones Posted: 22 Oct 2010 05:00 PM PDT Are you currently in the hunt for a new pair of headphones, but do not know where to look? Well, if the answer is in the affirmative and you don’t mind forking out a little bit extra over the regular bunch of headphones you see out there, then we would definitely want you to have a closer look at the V-MODA Vibrato noise-isolating in-ear headphones. Sounds like a mouthful to ask from the counter at Apple stores nationwide, but do read on and check out just what it can do before you relegate it away to a non-purchase category. Crafted from zinc alloy and featuring a Kevlar fabric cable with a 3-button remote and microphone, the Vibrato could very well be the ultimate multi-purpose earphone for anyone and everyone. It was specially designed for music lovers who are stylish at the same time, as the Vibrato is impeccably sculpted from premium zinc alloy as mentioned thanks to patented die-casting metal technology. This innovative process will enable the Vibrato to sport a special geometric design, where it is found normally only on fine jewelry or watches, where it gives off a solid, durable feel which you cannot obtain from most plastic or aluminum headphones. This also means it won’t feel as though it will break at the slightest amount of pressure, which is always a good thing. Even better is the fact that the Vibrato was masterfully tuned in collaboration with professional musicians, with the end result of recreating the sensations of a live music or club experience. It will feature an 8mm dynamic HD neodymium driver which delivers excellent vibrant bass, vivid mid-range, and vivacious highs. Thanks to the integration of its BLISS noise isolating technology, background noise is reduced effectively, resulting in a deep bass. Not only that, V-MASQUE technology enforces a strict tolerance for high and low frequency ranges, allowing every note on the Vibrato to sound as flawless as the next.How much for the Vibrato? It should shake $129.99 out from your bank account if you want one. Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames, check out our reviews.

Joby introduces Gorillatorch Switchback Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:45 PM PDT Mention Joby and chances are you will have the famous Gorillatorch Original and the Gorillapod line of innovative camera tripods coming to your mind. Well, we are pleased to say that you aren’t too far off the mark either with their latest release, as the new Gorillatorch Switchback is touted to be the ultimate companion for the outdoor enthusiast, where this unique combination of a lantern-headlamp will rely on the very same LED light array in a single form factor so that you will not have to carry two separate lights on your adventures, freeing up at least one hand (or a mouth if you love to bite on your torches). Using the latest in high-performance materials and LED light technology, the Gorillatorch Switchback will merge exceptional light quality with innovative product design. We will look at it in greater detail in the extended post, so hit the jump. The Joby Gorillatorch Switchback will feature 5 powerful LEDs, where they include a 130-lumen CREE XLamp XP-G LED spotlight, sporting half a dozen brightness settings and an adjustable dimmer switch. Boasting a 92% ultra-efficient holographic lens that delivers brilliant and even light which is easy on the eyes even when viewed directly (this means you won’t get blinded), it is definitely a vast improvement over traditional lanterns that are available in the market at the moment. The whole idea behind the Gorillatorch Switchback? To create a lighting product that encourages strong social interaction in the same way that a campfire does, albeit without running the risk of burning down your tent, of course. When functioning as a lantern, the Gorillatorch Switchback can illuminate an 8-person family tent or small cabin, which is more than ideal for any social gathering, ranging from meals at the campsite to an evening game of cards on the patio. You can always hook the Gorillatorch Switchback to the inside of a tent, sit it on a table or attach it to a branch thanks to the included flexible lantern stand. With its integrated design, you are able to make a quick transition to headlamp mode, where its ergonomic, woven headband can be comfortably worn for hours on end. The Switchback will retail for $59.95 a pop if you’re interested. Press Release Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.

Autoloader Screwdriver for DIY enthusiasts Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:30 PM PDT If you are a DIY enthusiast, chances are pretty high that you already own a personal set of tools that absolutely, ultimately, cannot be touched by anyone else other than yourself. After all, this is your samurai sword – once “unsheathed”, it must screw something in. Well, if you hold such tools in high regard, then the Autoloader Screwdriver might be just the ticket for you. This £19.99 purchase is touted to be idiot proof, as it boasts a patented pump-action bit change mechanism. All you need to do is pull back the handle, twist until you find the right bit for the job and you’re good to go. There is a total of half a dozen nickel-plated Phillips and flathead bits to choose from, and since the bit tips are magnetized, there isn’t any worry of dropping those pesky screws due to shaky hands. Time to go down to Ikea and buy some stuff to assemble, eh?

MP3/iPod Wireless Sound Pillow Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:24 PM PDT If you want to listen to your favorite tunes all around at night without having to go throgh the trouble of disturbing your loved one who is snoring away so soundly right beside you, then you might be interested to check out the £24.95 MP3/iPod Wireless Sound Pillow. Now available for pre-order, it is expected to be delivered when November 5 rolls around, which isn’t too shabby when you think about it since that is less than a couple of weeks away. This is the perfect tool for tuning in to your iPod or MP3 player in bed to have a little “alone” time. Since it sports wireless connectivity, you are able to transmit audio from just about any source, where the TV is not exempted either. Audio will be transmitted via the pillow at a comfortable listening level, and it will play nice with any audio source that relies on a 3.5mm audio cable. Powered by a couple of AA batteries, this should be able to last for a fair number of hours before running out of juice. Coolest Gadgets UK – For all your UK centric tech and gadget news.

Hands on with the Inductive Charger from Energizer Posted: 22 Oct 2010 12:04 PM PDT We have reported on the Inductive Charger before, which looks to be Energizer’s answer to the Powermat and Wildcharger. Some of you remember when I had a face-off between the other wireless chargers. If you recall, there was no victor for that contest. Both products do exactly what they advertise. The Inductive Charger only has power sleeves for the Blackberry Curve 8900 as well as the iPhone 3GS and 3G. At least, for now. As it is, Energizer’s Inductive Charger is a Qi inductive charger, which is its strongest feature. Qi is the new universal standard for inductive charging as established by the Wireless Power Consortium. Apparently, it won’t be long before Qi-enabled devices will be on handsets, so you can lay them on Qi-enabled Inductive Chargers without the power sleeves that you have purchase for them. Another thing that sets the Energizer Inductive chargers apart from other wireless ones is that there is an extra USB port in case you want to recharge some USB-powered devices I can’t remember if Powermat or Wildcharger have this feature. What works against the Energizer Inductive Charger is that there is no magnetic lock like its competitors. All in all, I would say that the Energizer Inductive Charger is an investment in your future as you might be able to say that you were the first to get a Qi-enabled wireless charger and can now charge any mobile device made after a certain time in the future. You can get the Energizer Inductive Charger now for about $89. Source Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames, check out our reviews.

MakerLegoBot: A Lego creation designed to make Lego creations Posted: 22 Oct 2010 05:33 AM PDT Remember that scene in Star Wars: Episode II where C-3PO sees a droid factory and says: “Machines building machines. How perverse”. Clearly, my Source feels the same way about this Lego Mindstorms creation. Our pal Threepio would describe it as “Legos making Legos”. I don’t think that it would be perverse. I would call it cool. If you are not familiar with Lego Mindstorms, they are very advanced Lego blocks that come with a mini computer so they can do programmed actions. In this case, Engineer Will Gorman’s MakerLegoBot. As you can see from the photo, it can build up things like this blue structure here. Now that would be pretty impressive if it could build just that, but this can take a virtual 3D model and assemble it with lots of Lego bricks. The only question is: where are all the Lego bricks that it is using for construction? Is it grabbing them from a secret location? Actually, there is one other question: can this guy be programmed to create other Lego MakerBots? The creator is actually working on solving that particular quandary. I think my Source is having flashbacks to early Terminator movies on what comes next. All I can say is that those exoskeltons will look cool made of Lego.

Meet the robot bowler EARL Posted: 22 Oct 2010 05:10 AM PDT If they ever wanted to remake The Big Lebowski with robots, they would probably have to cast EARL in the film. I’m not certain if the bowling robot should be Jesus Quintana or The Dude. EARL (Enhanced Automated Robotic Launcher) is a one-armed robot used by the Equipment Specifications and Certifications team of the National Bowling Congress to test gear. EARL is one accurate robot that can hurl a ball from 10 to 24 miles per hour at 50 to 900 revolutions per minute, and make a consistent shot every time. Or so the creators thought. You might want to check out the video to see it go up against a professional bowler. Here’s a Spoiler alert for the video. EARL recently showed up at the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame and bowled against PBA man Chris Barnes. It was a true man versus machine match like John Henry versus that hammering machine. The man won this time with 259 to 209, and the creators say that what caused EARL to lose is that it bowls consistently every time. Apparently, it scratches the oil on the floor and messes with Earl’s game. Still, if I were a part of a bowling team, I would definitely want EARL on my side.

Thermowear T-Shirts Posted: 21 Oct 2010 07:00 PM PDT So you want to be a fashionista amongst your friends, but do not exactly want to take the well traveled road that comprises of designer labels as well as expensive accessories? Well, how about a smart casual look that relies not on bling, but on something totally different instead? We’re talking about the Thermowear T-Shirts, where it will come in two different colors – blue and white or pink and purple.

Retailing for £19.99 each, they’re seriously eye catching to say the least, and you can definitely leave an impression on others, while increasing the chances of you being groped just to see the effect of the colors changing.

Motherboard Pencil Cup Posted: 21 Oct 2010 06:41 PM PDT Geeks, it is about time you unite. After all, why not dress up your cubicle to reflect your interest? That’s what the Motherboard Pencil Cup is good for – it will use recycled parts from a motherboard that has been specially preserved to hold your pencils as well as other writing instruments. Retailing for $19.99 a pop, it will ensure your pencils are wrapped graphite in a copper, cadmium and lead vessel at all times, and you can also rest easy knowing that purchasing this would mean you doing your part to keep the earth green since it is made out of recycled motherboards. Measuring 3.25 x 3.25 x 4 inches in dimensions, each one of this will be unique, so you don’t have to worry about your office rival having the exact same thing a few cubicles down. We don’t suppose that those who are pretty fmailiar with DIY projects could probably come up with something like this on their own, but why do so when some money can net you a well prepared and presented model?

iHome iA100 Bluetooth Stereo System Posted: 21 Oct 2010 06:39 PM PDT If your home does not yet have a dock of sorts for iDevices, then you’re in luck. After all, it would be great for you to always get the latest and greatest devices (within budget, of course), don’t you think so? iHome intends to fulfill that need of yours with their newest release, which would be the iHome iA100 Bluetooth Stereo System. This unique Bluetooth stereo system will play nice with the iPad, iPhone and iPod with the help of App Enhancement. Touted to be the first device from iHome that was specially designed to offer iPad support as well as taking advantage of its unique capabilities, the inclusion of Bluetooth connectivity for wireless communication is a nice touch as well. You will also find Bongiovi Acoustics' DPS technology thrown into the mix for enhanced sound, and app-enhanced functionality for use with iHome+Sleep and iHome+Radio. In a nutshell, the iA100 is capable of delivering superior audio quality and more features than any other docking alarm clock on the market to users. Surely you are now asking yourself, just how much is this? We won’t spoil it in the first paragraph, so you will need to read on after the jump for a better idea. The app-enhanced iA100 Bluetooth-enabled device will also come with a built-in FM radio alarm clock for iPad, iPhone and docking iPod models. Whenever you hook up your preferred iDevice via Bluetooth through a secure simple pairing, the iA100 is a different beast altogether. It will turn into a wireless entertainment multi-tasker with a variety of great features, where among them includes a stand-alone speakerphone with echo cancellation, transforming just about all compatble Bluetooth enabled phones into a robust speakerphone for the home or office. Not only that, it is capable of streaming audio of your favorite music and movies, while customized connections with iHome's free iHome+Sleep and iHome+Radio apps are a nice tough to have. The asking price for the iA100 Bluetooth Stereo System for iPad, iPhone and iPod with App Enhancement? We would say that it will not break the bank at all, considering the $199 price tag which is pretty reasonable considering all that it offers on paper.

Another tablet hits the market in the form of the eLocity A7 Posted: 21 Oct 2010 06:26 PM PDT The advent of the Apple iPad has certainly changed the way the tablet market worked, in a rather similar manner as with how the iPod actually offered a new revolution in the world of portable music. Sure, the Walkman by Sony back in the 1980s took the world by storm and sold plenty of cassette tapes in the process, while the Discman brought portable digital music to the forefront as folks started toting around CD pouches. Well, when the MP3 file format started to become really popular, there were basic MP3 players rolling out left, right and center (remember the Iomega models?), but none of them could actually hold a candle to the iPod when that came out, and it has remained that way ever since. Well, the same can be said about the tablet business. While prior to the iPad, most tablets were pretty boring because they didn’t really have that high a standard to aspire to, but when the iPad exploded onto the scene, things just changed. Other hardware manufacturers actually upped their game because they know that if they didn’t, it would be a failure in the market. Well, Stream TV Networks intends to hold their own with the eLocity A7 tablet, which has already experienced strong preorder sales on Amazon.com, while five more retailers will be taking preorders for the much anticipated device. We will look at the eLocity A7 in greater detail in the extended post. First of all, the eLocity A7 will feature a seven-inch display, sporting an NVIDIA Tegra 2 mobile processor with Android 2.2 Froyo as the operating system of choice. Some of the other retailers who will carry the eLocity A7 include Sears.com, Newegg.com, PCMall.com, Walmart.com and MicroCenter.com, where all preorder units will be fulfilled beginning November 22, 2010. What makes the eLocity A7 special? Well, it is touted to be the first mobile tablet in the US that is powered by Android 2.2 Froyo, while being able to run the entire gamut of mobile apps, delivering support for Adobe Flash while enabling 3D gaming with the NVIDIA Tegra T-250 dual core processor. Other hardware specifications include a multi-touch screen, 4GB of high speed internal flash memory, wireless connectivity, HDMI output, a USB port, and a microSD memory card slot.

Verizon Wireless and Samsung to release Galaxy Tab this November for $600 Posted: 21 Oct 2010 06:17 PM PDT Are you ready to rock and roll with the tablet market? If your answer is in the affirmative, then why haven’t you purchased an iPad already? What’s that? You prefer to shop around before dropping some serious money, eh? Well good news for you then – Verizon Wireless has teamed up with Samsung to release the Samsung Galaxy Tab this coming November 11th for $599.99 a pop, where it will be powered by the latest Android 2.2 operating system right out of the box so you don’t have to worry about it being bogged down by bugs in the older version. For more specific hardware details, you might want to check out in the extended post on just what the Samsung Galaxy Tab is capable of delivering. The Samsung Galaxy Tab will come with a rather brilliant 7-inch touch screen display, delivering a robust HTML Web browsing experience that offers full support for Adobe Flash 10.1 for video and mobile gaming. You won’t find it lacking in terms of firepower either, as a pretty zippy 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird Application processor is also there to ensure all your applications will run just fine, no matter the load you throw at it. Apart from Android-powered applications that are hugely popular, you will also find special Verizon Wireless applications such as V CAST Music and V CAST Song ID, VZ Navigator, Slacker Radio, Kindle for Android, BLOCKBUSTER On Demand presented by V CAST Video, as well as the exclusive golf game known as “Let’s Golf”. Apart from text, picture and video messaging, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will also bring V CAST Apps to owners, which is actually Verizon Wireless’ mobile storefront that offers hundreds of applications for businesses and consumers at launch. Of course, there is no point in having the Samsung Galaxy Tab if you do not have an unlimited data plan, so it is good to see Verizon Wireless offers a monthly access plan from $20 onwards for 1GB.
