| L4 Laptop Tag – Theft Deterrent and Asset Tracker Posted: 10 Jul 2012 11:40 AM PDT
I like to keep track of my stuff, let it be said that nothing is more infuriating to me than having someone help themselves to something I worked for. So imagine running a school, business or hospital where you are in charge of keeping track of assets, equipment, computers or even people? Check out the L4 tag, a small flat unit designed to be plugged into your laptop or tablet’s ExpressCard slot. The tag works with the Ekahau RTLS system which can track and manage the tags anywhere in a campus or office complex that has Wi-Fi coverage. Designed for use primarily in hospitals and large office settings the technology could be used to protect personal assets as well. The L4 has an internal rechargeable battery that is recharged directly from the laptop ExpressCard slot. When the laptop is turned off, or the battery of the laptop is depleted, the L4 will run for several weeks on its internal battery. The L4 can even detect and report the power status of the host laptop as well. The L4 is a part of an entire line of asset protection and communication devices that operate off an existing Wi-Fi network. These devices include simple trackers, badge tags that can send and receive messages and wearable tags that allow both people tracking and emergency communications. The L4 begins shipping to customers soon and will be available through Ekahau.com, I guess technology will soon make it so that an honest thief simply won’t be able to get away with anything anymore, won’t it?

| Sony Smartwatch – Cool Enough, but is it Big Enough? Posted: 10 Jul 2012 11:23 AM PDT
Everyone knew a Smartwatch was coming. Somehow I expected it to be Apple’s. I remember reading somewhere that a Smartwatch was on Steve Jobs to do list, and I am aware that Cupertino is working things up as we speak. On the surface it seems like an awesome idea and a gadget I would like to own. Then I got to wondering, would the screen even be big enough to have any real usefulness, check this out and let us know what you think. Welcome Sony’s Smartwatch, a neat little Android mini-accoutrement that keeps you connected to your digital world via your Smartphone, quietly, discreetly, and mostly hands-free. Worn on a clip, or the stylish wristband included with the watch, you can download a number of compatible applications, and make your new Smartwatch your own personalized media and communications center. The Sony Smartwatch comes with an multi color, ultra sensitive touch display that allow you to tap and swipe your way through your chosen digital universe (although I’m wondering about accuracy, even with the smallest of fingers) The Smartwatch lets you check your mail or the weather, listen to music or twitter your face off and also be able to check and see who’s been trying to reach you, even if your phone is safe in your pocket. Perfect for working out, walking or shopping, the Sony Smartwatch lets you leave your phone in your bag, briefcase or pocket and still be updated on everything you might want to know. The Smartwatch is dust proof, splash proof and comes in a high tech looking aluminum case. The real question is, with its need to be associated via bluetooth with a compatible android phone, and its small touch screen do you think it has any real value at 149 bucks? If you do, you can get one today, from sony.com. [ Sony Smartwatch – Cool Enough, but is it Big Enough? copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Korg announces Kaossilator 2 and Mini Kaoss Pad 2 Posted: 10 Jul 2012 09:49 AM PDT
First of all, the palm-sized Kaossilator 2 phrase synthesizer will feature 150 built-in sounds which can be played back in a jiffy, courtesy of its X-Y touchpad interface. Gestures can be recorded and stacked infinitely so that you can come up with complete musical phrases. Not only that, users are also able to record using a built-in mic, or plug a music source into a dedicated mic input. It is made out of a miniature speaker and sports optional battery power, allowing you to use the Kaossilator 2 when you travel. All performances can be stashed away on the integrated microSD memory card slot. As for the Mini Kaoss Pad 2, this is one tiny effects processor which will also come with a self-contained media player. If you happen to have decided to throw your lot with the Mini Kaoss Pad 2, you are able to use it to add effects to incoming audio, onboard MP3's or a mix of the two, temporarily seeing yourself step into the shoes of your favorite DJ. Similar to the Korg Kaossilator 2, the Mini Kaoss Pad 2 will also come with a century’s worth of effect programs that can be controlled in real time using the X-Y touchpad. The Mini Kaoss Pad 2 will come with half a dozen preset audio demo loops so that novices can get started right out of the box, while pros have something to start with. Just like the Kaossilator 2, the Mini Kaoss Pad 2 will also be accompanied by a built-in mic, an onboard speaker, and convenient optional battery power.

| Edifier Prisma Bluetooth speaker system Posted: 10 Jul 2012 09:21 AM PDT
At first glance, I must say that the Edifier Prisma Bluetooth speaker system does look prety cool, boasting elegant aesthetics, crystal clear sound reproduction and Bluetooth connectivity so that you get to enjoy a cable-free environment, at least on the part of a speaker, leaving you with one less way of tripping over. Let us dive into greater detail where the Prisma Bluetooth speaker system is concerned. For starters, the Prisma Bluetooth will, as its name suggests, feature a built-in Bluetooth receiver which is capable of synchronizing with any Bluetooth enabled device in order for it to wirelessly stream music up to a range of 30 feet. Not only that, it will also come equipped with a couple of auxiliary input ports for maximum flexibility, where one is located on the subwoofer, while the other is on the remote. The remote control itself boasts of a headphone-out port which lets you enjoy a personal audio experience, where you are able to control the master volume on the remote, not to mention having a separate bass adjustment dial located on the subwoofer control. I can almost hear Emperor Palpatine scream, “Power! Unlimited power!” with its 48 watt RMS speaker system. What then, is the asking price for the Edifier Prisma Bluetooth speaker system? Well, a $129.99 price point sure sounds decent enough. [ Edifier Prisma Bluetooth speaker system copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

Apple's quest to be the coolest gadget received a boost…of sorts…yesterday. Apple had previously filed suit in London High Court claiming Samsung's Galaxy tablet infringed on their intellectual property. But yesterday a judge ruled that the Galaxy did not infringe. His conclusion about the Galaxy? "They are not as cool,"and Galaxy tablets "do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design," stated Judge Colin Birss in his ruling. So do you agree with the judge? Is the Apple iPad truly "cooler" than the Samsung Galaxy? Vote and post your comments as to why you prefer the iPad or Galaxy. Source: WSJ.

Computer mice have definitely come a long way ever since it was invented, and the Stealth Touch Mouse is part of a new generation of 2.4GHz wireless devices that boast of an all touch technology. There are no buttons to worry about, not need for a scroll wheel, nothing! All you need would be a touch-sensitive surface which is capable of recognizing preprogrammed fingertip movements. All simple gestures such as swipes, taps, and slides will be used to control the entire range of the mouse’s features. The Stealth Touch Mouse is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.
