| Nintendo’s new Wii U – Will You? Posted: 06 Jun 2012 08:51 AM PDT
Ah the joy of the latest and greatest video game consoles. Does anyone still remember the old Magnavox Odyssey? I think it was around 1972, and what a technological wonder it was. I can remember many a late night playing a rousing game of Pong and dreaming about what games might be like in the faraway future. I never really imagined it would be like this. I’ve had the Playstation, the Wii, and now the X-box 360, but it seems the time has come yet again, where they must take their rightful place on a guest room television or in my home office in order to make way for the Wii U, the 8th generation in Video game consoles, and just in time for your Holiday The Wii U has a primary console and supports the use of 2 special Gamepad controllers, whats unique about these touchscreen, handheld controllers is that they will also function independently of the console, and allow for such things as WIFI web browsing, picture taking and TV control . So Jr. can get a new game console this holiday season AND stop whining about the iPad you didn’t get him last year. This is Nintendo’s first 1080p HD graphics console and if rumors are true, it’s also the industries first controller with an embedded touchscreen that features an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The handheld is also capable of continuing gameplay after the TV has been powered off, and the entire system sounds like it will be backward compatible with the regular “old fahioned” Wii. Well, all the big announcements are actually coming in later today, so feel free to head on over to nintendo.com to check out the presentation, or to watch the software showcase. I’m sure I won’t be able to help myself, but I’m telling you right now, I’m not paying a penny over list, no matter how cool it is. Are you guys with me?

| Deep Frying Portable Grill – You want Fries with That? Posted: 06 Jun 2012 08:47 AM PDT
It’s official, summer is here. I have to admit I’ve been in the pool already. Yes, it was pretty cold, but it still felt good to shake off the winter and realize that the days of summer sun and outdoor fun are upon us. I’m always looking for new ways to entertain outside and I love to grill, but lately my enthusiasm has dwindled just a bit… there are only so many times I can make my famous ribs and still be excited about them. I needed something different. Well, check out the Deep Frying Portable grill, a real match made in heaven. I mean, was one really meant to deep fry indoors? This neat looking, fully portable grill AND deep fryer can make all your old standbys, from hot-dogs to honey grilled salmon, but a deep fryer located in the center of the cooking surface holds up to a pint of cooking oil, allowing you to fry up a few servings of onion rings or chicken fingers in no time. All without any smoke or greasy smell in your kitchen. The grills surface is large enough for around 8 hamburgers and even has a grate for high temp searing, a griddle for bacon, eggs or stir fry, and a warming plate to keep things hot and crisp. I just can’t imagine having more outdoor cooking options! The deep fryer can not only produce some crispy fried shrimp or funnel cakes, it can also be used without the oil to hold something like chili or nice red sauce to top your delicious burgers. The Deep Frying Portable grill comes with a lid, a cutting board, a nifty insulated oil storage canister, and an easy carrying case. It runs on a one pound propane tank (although you can go larger with optional hose connections) You can watch the product video, or go ahead and purchase one at Hammacher.com for under 250 bucks. Could be fun!  [ Deep Frying Portable Grill – You want Fries with That? copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Suntracking Shelter keeps you in the shade at all times Posted: 06 Jun 2012 06:30 AM PDT
This is a unique sun shelter that boasts of an adjustable canopy which is capable of delivering respite from the sun regardless of the time of the day. Not only that, you can do so without the need to relocate, living out the micro-lifestyle of your typical desert nomad. A couple of canopy panels will be able to slide along the shelter’s frame, where they then lock into place in order to deliver shade regardless of where the sun is. The polyester panels themselves have picked up The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation as it offers superior protection from harmful UV rays. The only thing that is missing from the Suntracking Shelter? I find the lack of the word “Automatic” right there in front disturbing, as life would then be complete if this thingamajic was automatic.

| Flat Flashlight is easy to stash away Posted: 06 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT
The name of the Flat Flashlight says it all – it comes in a retro form factor, except that it has an exceptionally thin body design that allows you to hook it to your key chain comfortably, slip it into your handbag or pocket, or just park it in your glove compartment for easy access. Measuring 2.5″ long and 1.75″ wide, the Flat Flashlight is powered by a solitary CR1220 battery. [ Flat Flashlight is easy to stash away copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Razer Taipan ups the ante for ambidextrous mouse market Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:30 AM PDT
Razer, a gaming hardware manufacturer since forever, has come up with their latest release – the Razer Taipan, which is said to be the next generation ambidextrous gaming mouse that looks set to burn up mouse mats everywhere around the world. Just what does the Razer Taipan have underneath its shell that makes it worth considering as your next purchase? Let us take a closer look at it after the jump, shall we? The Razer Taipan is said to set a new standard for versatility, form and function. In fact, it is said that Razer's ergonomic scientists actually sat down and worked with top e-Sports athletes from professional gaming teams such as Empire, Frenetic Array, Mousesports, Quantic, Rox.Kis and Type II Gaming, in order to make sure that they have identified the optimal shape, weight, and balance that are required in the design of an ambidextrous mouse where such a mouse will obviously need to perform at the highest levels of gameplay at all times. Sporting a symmetrical shape with narrow footprint and arched back, it is comfortable enough for play with a wide range of players, while the weight distribution of the mouse has also been altered in order to deliver the most optimal grip profile. It will run on Razer's new 8200 dpi 4G Dual Sensor System, sporting Z-axis tracking and liftoff cutoff customization so that your aim remains true as always. Out later this July, the Razer Taipan will retail for $79.99 and €79.99 in the US and Europe, respectively. [ Razer Taipan ups the ante for ambidextrous mouse market copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Reader Store delivers greater reading freedom regardless of where you are Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:00 AM PDT
This new web-based Reader Store is said to enable you to access your Reader Store account from just about any compatible web browser, where you can then follow up by signing in and purchasing content without the need to install any software to your computer. Surely works great in reducing the amount of bloatware, does it not? The web store will also officially support the latest browsers on Windows and Mac platforms, where among them include Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Just what does this translate for the ordinary man on the street? If you have not figured it out already, let me break it down into an easier manner for you. Each time you discover your next story, you are able to purchase it there and then according to your convenience, and any eBook that you pick up from a web browser will be waiting for you on the Reader App or wireless device. Yup, it is that simple without any strings attached. Not only that, the Reader Store eBooks will also function with just about any Adobe DRM supported app or device, giving you the opportunity to be able to download and read content in a variety of new ways, and that would include doing so on some other non-Sony devices. Needless to say, Sony is biased towards their Reader Apps and devices. [ Reader Store delivers greater reading freedom regardless of where you are copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

So King Leonidas’ army of 300 laughed about fighting in the shade should the number of arrows that the Persian King sent their way were to blot out the sun. Well, you need not be in such a harrowing experience to remain in the shade this coming summer while enjoying your time outdoors, not when you have the 
If there is one thing about IKEA, the home furnishing giant, that you should know, it would be this – they are experts at cramming in as many pieces of furniture into a lorry or truck compared to others, simply because of their business philosophy that clearly espouses the advantages of working with flat packs. Get your customers to assemble their own furniture, and earn some extra side income if they cannot be bothered by a little DIY effort. It is a win-win situation, so when it comes to the world of flashlights, we could not help but to give a knowing smile at the 
When it comes to video game hardware such as the mouse, there is one group of people that some hardware manufacturers tend to overlook – folks who are left handed like yours truly, of course. I have trained myself to be able to play using my right hand, so my left hand is as useless as a banana in lieu of a racquet in a tennis game when it comes to gaming mice. Well, getting used to the right handed mouse is one thing, but somehow I have always favored the use of an ambidextrous design in gaming mice. It lends an air of understanding to southpaws like me, and it also looks nicer – after all, symmetrical faces tend to be the best looking of the lot, don’t they?
Love reading? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you might be interested to know that tomes from the old school are not that trendy these days, what with e-book readers as well as tablet devices of different screen sizes are starting to make their way up the popularity charts among people from all walks of life. Well, Sony surely has something special for all of you e-book lovers out there with their Reader Store that is now available in the form of a new web-based Reader Store as well as an Android Reader App, delivering more freedom for you to be able to read the content that you love, regardless of the time and place. | You are subscribed to email updates from Coolest Gadgets To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
