Are you hard of hearing, or thinking of what gift to get for grandma or grandpa during the coming Mother’s and Father’s Day? The Amplified Answering Machine might be just the right ticket item for them (and to earn brownie points on your behalf), where it will amplify played back messages by up to 30 decibels more for easier hearing. The amplification can also be adjusted by up to 10 different levels, where it will play back messages at three speed settings.

This would mean you can slow down the rate of speech for better comprehension and listening. Capable of holding up to 30 minutes of messages, these messages will be time-stamped in a clear, audible voice. With a call screening function that lets you listen to a caller, it allows you to leave a message without having to answer. Capable of storing 3-minute memo recordings, the Amplified Answering Machine will retail for $59.95.

Angel Bicycle Helmet

Posted: 01 May 2011 05:30 AM PDT

Forget about the circle of life – this is the circle of light that is known as the Angel Bicycle Helmet. Of course, this “halo” that you wear will be electronically and not divinely powered – after all, you still have very much to live for in this life, right? Investing £49.99 in this is a no-brainer (lest you end up with no brains on the road), since it will work in your favor when you take statistics into consideration – we are talking about 60% of road traffic accidents involving cyclists happen after 4pm.

Since the law requires cyclists to mount lights on the front and rear of their bikes, it still does not offer adequate protection when traffic is queuing nose-to-tail, hiding you from a driver's view. Since the built-in halo of LEDs are there, you ought to be a whole lot more visible than your cycling counterparts, letting you be seen from just about any angle for a full 360 degrees of visibility as either constant or flashing light.

E FUN Next5 Android-powered tablet

Posted: 01 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT

The iPad has certainly done its bit to bring tablet popularity to new heights – just take a look at the explosive growth of this once niche market and tell us otherwise. E FUN joins in on the fun (pun not intended) with the Next5 Android tablet that will ship with the company's patented APEN digital pen that has been integrated into the tablet itself.

The Next5 is the latest device and will be part of E FUN’s Nextbook line, sporting a 7" TFT touch-screen color display, integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, multimedia functionality, an eBook Store app, as well as the SlideME application manager that comes as a pre-loaded software. As mentioned earlier, this is the first Android tablet that will come with an integrated digital pen.

Since it is sleek and lightweight, it won’t be a problem for you to tote it around anywhere and everywhere you go – as long as the battery lasts, that is. Specifications-wise, this isn’t too hot compared to some of the more powerful and branded tablets out there, but at least it offers a decent performance level and an affordable price. You will find the Next5 come with 2GB of built-in memory, Wi-Fi connectivity, a microSD memory card slot, MP3 playback, photo viewing capabilities, a G-sensor and integrated speakers with a microphone.

The standard-shape patented APEN digital pen will allow you to perform real-time computer annotation of digital photos, mark documents, add electronic signatures, creating handwritten emails if a virtual keyboard is not your cup of tea. Not only that, the special transmitter and software will digitize handwriting and hand-drawn images, so that they can be shared with others over email in a jiffy.

For $279.99, the Next5 will come with accessories such as a USB cable, protective case, AC adaptor, stylus, 5"x8" note pad and instruction guide.
