IDAPT i2+ universal charger

Posted: 19 Feb 2011 04:30 AM PST

While modern technology has advanced to such a point where we are extremely blessed to enjoy the latest and greatest gadgets even when you’re on the road, there is still one bane that hardware manufacturers are trying to overcome – that of not having enough battery life to last throughout the day. Surely iPhone 4 owners as well as other smartphone users will be able to identify with this, especially when they use the phone’s capabilities to the maximum?

Well, apart from coming up with a super efficient solar panel affixed to said devices, what other ways can be employed to combat the situation of not having enough power when you need it? We think that practically speaking, making sure your device is charged whenever there is the opportunity to do so is one of them, which is why the IDAPT i2+ universal charger might just fit the bill perfectly.

Being the leading mobile technology leader, IDAPT has just announced their latest IDAPT i2+ universal charger which debuted at CES 2011 last month. It basically lets you juice up to a trio of different mobile devices simultaneously, and more importantly, does away with pesky cords which more often than not, tend to clutter up the place badly, and being a tripping hazard in the process.

The IDAPT i2+ will sport a couple of charging ports and a bonus USB connection, making it one formidable accessory to have when you travel, meeting all of your mobile electronic charging needs at the same time. The new i2+ will also boast of IDAPT's unique interchangeable tips system, which should go a long way in making it compatible with more than 4,000 different devices including iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, Nintendo PSP, XBOX controllers, GPS systems and Bluetooth devices.

With a "quick release" button, you will be able to swap tips in a jiffy, safe and sound. If you’re interested, the IDAPT i2+ universal charger can be yours for $39.99 at IDAPTweb.com, although it will hit other retailers like PC Richard, Batteries Plus, BiMart, Costco.com, Walmart.com, Crutchfield.com and Frontgate.com in due time.

Breville Radio Toaster offers hot music in the morning

Posted: 19 Feb 2011 04:00 AM PST

Convergence devices are the rage these days, just put your hand in your pocket and pull out that iPhone of yours. With the apps and accessories going for it, it is much, much more than just a phone. Well, home appliances do some convergence as well, although not as much. Take for instance, the Breville Radio Toaster – the name alone gives the game away, where you can enjoy to your favorite breakfast of toast with marmalade, while tuning in to the wake-up calls of radio DJs on a station of your choice.

Currently up for pre-order, the Breville Radio Toaster will cost you £49.99, but that is a small price to pay considering the wonder that this toaster will invoke whenever you have a guest who stays over at your place in the morning and wakes up to the sweet smell of perfectly toasted bread as well as their favorite artiste singing in the background.

Now, for Breville engineers to go back to the drawing board and include a coffee maker in this puppy for the next iteration. Surely that is not too much to ask, no?

GammaTech introduces Durabook S15C rugged notebook

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 07:11 PM PST



GammaTech has been known to be one of the more famous names in the rugged device market, and this time around they do not disappoint with the Durabook S15C notebook that delivers portability as well as features which are seldom found in notebooks in its class, that is, designed for rugged environments.

According to Jen Chen, GammaTech President, "Just because an individual works away from an office and uses their notebook computer in a harsh environment is no reason for he or she not to enjoy the benefits of a notebook computer with a brilliant screen and powerful graphics. Our new rugged S15C has a very generous 15.6" display with high-definition resolution and its many other terrific features make the S15C the perfect choice for such users."

Let us read more about the GammaTech Durabook S15C in the extended post.

The S15C notebook was specially engineered and designed to GammaTech's renowned tough standards, boasting a magnesium alloy case which is 20 times stronger than ABS plastic, and has undergone rigorous testing to Mil- Standard 810G for drop and shock resistance. As for the safety of your data inside, fret not – a flexible hard drive cable design will absorb shock from drops, delivering protection for your important data while anti-shock mounting technology that is located around the LCD will prevent your display from experiencing accidental damage.

There will also be additional protection afforded by the unit's unique spill-resistant design, so you can go ahead and pour water all over the keyboard whenever you are stressed, nothing inside will get fried. Not only that, the touchpad and switches are also protected from spills as it won’t seep into sensitive interior parts. With GammaTech's exclusive optical-disk-tray lock, there is also unintentional tray ejection due to drop and vibration.

The inclusion of double protection smart battery circuitry makes sure that any damage caused by current or voltage surges and overheating will be prevented – after all, this is an essential piece of concern for on-the-road users who require extra power protection.

How does it fare in terms of performance though? With a choice of Intel i7 and i5 processors rocking to the Intel HM55 chipset, you certainly won’t be stuck with a performance slouch, and its dual-channel DDR III SODIMM slots also deliver up to 8GB of memory. With an internal optical drive slot, you can opt between a DVD super-multi drive or Blu-Ray Disk combo drive.

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 06:42 PM PST

Do you happen to love the great outdoors while zipping up and around on your bicycle? That’s a cinch with the iPhone Live Rider, where this £69.99 contraption will also deliver essential information as to whether all that workout of yours is making you any slimmer, burning away the love handles that have long plagued your waistline since the holiday season.

After all, exercise bikes in the gym are super boring – and they don’t let you feel the breeze of natural, fresh air going past your face, although their main advantage would be having extremely detailed information feedback on your body and how it is doing. With the iPhone Live Rider, the same thing can happen to you – although you will be literally on the road.

Before you use it though, make sure you have at least an iPhone or iPod touch that is mounted on the handlebar. With a sealed wireless sensor located near to your rear wheel, it will detect your bike's speed and pedal cadence, sending such data to a dedicated application on your device – said app can be downloaded for free from iTunes, and your eyes will be able to check out the information in real time, now how about that?
