| Microsoft OmniTouch gives us what we all want, maybe Posted: 21 Oct 2011 11:30 AM PDT
This OmniTouch has the amazing ability to turn any surface into a touchscreen. All of this is possible with this shoulder-mounted device that is both pico-projector and Kinect. So if you want to use your hand to run applications, just hold it out and the proper buttons will appear. Forget about a tablet PC, all you need is just a paper tablet! What I really like is how the user can just go to a nearby wall if they want to see an email. He or she can even finger paint on the wall, using their hand as a palette. Yes, the hand can be used as an interim interface, like when you want to project your display on your desk, for example. Considering that we didn’t have a lot of the devices that we have now ten years ago (heck, we haven’t even had iPhones for half a decade), one has to wonder where we are going with mobile technology. I can’t help but think that this could be the future, if this shoulder-mounted device was a little bit smaller and less protruding. If it was the size of a button, I’ll bet people would be more open to it. In the meantime, I am content with sitting back and letting the future surprise me.

| iHome iA17 Color Changing Stereo FM Alarm Clock Radio for iDevices Posted: 21 Oct 2011 11:15 AM PDT
The iA17 has a chameleon-like color-changing ability, and the shifting of the colors of the rainbow can set the mood for sleep. It is possible to make the device pulse very quickly, or very slow at the touch of a button. It even has a “wake to color” feature which displays an array of soothing but energizing lights. You can also program the device to wake to music on the iPod/iPhone or an FM radio. By the way, the sound on the iA17 is very cool, and it is comparable to the PURE Contour that I reviewed a few weeks ago. In addition to all these features, the iA17 has some free apps associated with it. In fact, your iDevice will open up to the iTunes Store to the proper apps when you plug it in. You can set and control features on the device right from these apps, as well as set up the alarm and Internet radio. The iHome iA17 iPhone/iPod dock is available right now on the official site for a price of $99.99. Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames, check out our reviews.

| The AViiQ Smart Case for the iPad 2 Posted: 21 Oct 2011 11:00 AM PDT
Similar to the Back-iT from Bracketron, the Smart Case is made of rugged plastic encased in a solid aluminum plate “anodized to match the colors of the Apple Smart Cover”. It is designed to last by minimizing stretches and fading, and it snaps nicely into place. The hard plastic case comes with a smooth finish to protect the iPad from any shock and impact from side bumps like the wall, for example. That, and some accidental droppings. Another feature to boast about is that it keeps the iPad very cool in your hands. Anyone know how hot these iPads get after a few hours of use? It is also designed to compliment the Smart Cover, but it doesn’t include the cover. Someone really needs to make a front cover and back cover combination for the iPad 2. Right now, you can get this from the AViiQ site for about $34.99-$39.99 in orange, red, green, lavender, gray, black, and more. By the way, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

To put it in a nutshell, you need not be an astronaut to see the earth as it is from orbit, as the City Lights Globe will do a good enough job in illuminating the cities of the world. Of course, you might end up being mesmerized by its turning motion, wondering why didn’t you end up as an astronaut instead of being tethered behind the desk as an accountant? No offense to accountants, of course, but don’t you think an astronaut is far more adventurous and glamorous?  Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.

Small hands are adequate to snap the panels together, where they can create lengths of wall or wrap-around enclosures. With a total of 46 brightly-colored rigid panels to choose from, they can be reinforced by joint attachment clips which will secure the panels in 90° or 180° segments to make sure that such constructions remain standing even during some rough and tumble play sessions. To put it away, the panels will separate quickly, and can be stacked flat ala Ikea style, stashed away into a carrying case. Something tells me that this with bunch of Nerf guns would make for an unforgettable afternoon playtime.

What you are seeing here is a project from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University, and it could easily be the future. 
Let’s face it, most of us use an iPhone or iPod as an alarm clock. I suppose that iHome decided to take the impulse and run with it as they have recently released the iA17. 
Many iPad 2 owners have one of those cool and often colorful Smart Covers that serve as both magnetic screen protector and stand. However, what about the back of the iPad 2? Fortunately, the AViiQ Smart Case for the iPad 2 has the iPad 2′s back. 
We are all so busy that we sometimes forget to stop by and smell the roses. Or in the case of city folk, it would involve checking out the vibrant city life and feel its pulse. Well, perhaps there is another way to do so with this particular 
There is nothing quite like the imagination of a child to maximize something as simple as a cardboard box, where he or she turns it into a plane, a submarine, a race car, or even a fort. Well, sometimes you might want to encourage even more creative thinking through treats here and there, and I don’t suppose you can go wrong with the 
Kobo has launched what they deem to be the world’s first social e-book reader device in the form of the Kobo Vox – and to know just what kind of device this is, we will look at it in closer detail right after this. Already supporting more than 5 million users worldwide, the new Kobo Vox e-book reader was inspired by “Vox Populi”, which means the voice of the people. I guess you can more or less figure out the direction where the Kobo Vox is heading – it basically wants to empower readers to begin conversations with other readers in their journey of discovering new books and authors via their respective social networks.| You are subscribed to email updates from Coolest Gadgets To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
