Play Video Memo – Home Message Center Posted: 29 May 2012 07:58 AM PDT These days almost everything has gone digital, it seems like all the important things we do are plugged in, battery operated or USB connected. We also seem to be working more, and spending an inordinate amount of time away from our families, are these electronic devices helping us bridge the gap, or increasing the distance between us? Well here’s a little gizmo that lets you share a smile, even though you’re not there, the Play Video Memo is a true video memo pad that’s cute, fun and easy to use, in the shape of a comic strip voice box with a specially magnetized back that lets you stick on your fridge.

Sonos SUB wireless subwoofer offers pleasure for your ears Posted: 29 May 2012 06:30 AM PDT
This is where the Sonos SUB wireless subwoofer comes in handy. Do discount the fact that the company known as Sonos is still relatively young compared to the other more established players in the market such as Bang & Olufsen as well as Bowers & Wilkins, as Sonos was just founded in 2002 – a relatively young decade old. Since then, however, they have not short changed consumers at all, where Sonos has proven themselves to be consistent in rolling out quality wireless Hi-Fi systems. Let us take a closer look at how the Sonos SUB wireless subwoofer works right after the jump. Basically, the Sonos SUB wireless subwoofer has every intention of filling up your home with bass, and it will do so far more compared to any current Sonos setup. Specially designed to complement the already impressive sonic capabilities of Sonos amplified products including the CONNECT:AMP, the PLAY:3 and the PLAY:5, this particular device will throw in a generous amount of throbbing bass into the mix. Sonos claims that the system settings will be automatically adjusted to balance the SUB with the output from any paired Sonos device in order to deliver nothing but the very best mix. Apart from that, there is also a simple, one-button setup procedure, allowing the unit to be controlled over the dedicated Sonos Controller or dedicated free Android/iOS apps on mobile devices. Features of the Sonos SUB wireless subwoofer include a couple of state-of-the-art Class-D digital amplifiers within an acoustically dead proprietary resin outer shell with maximum internal air volume, and built-in digital signal processing circuitry. It will come in just one shade – Gloss Black, when it arrives this June 19th for $699 a pop. [ Sonos SUB wireless subwoofer offers pleasure for your ears copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] |
GameStop takes the tablet route Posted: 29 May 2012 06:00 AM PDT
Having said that, GameStop, a games retailer, has recently announced that they will soon be offering Android-powered tablets to the masses via its massive chain of retail stores. This has been confirmed, with the green light given by the top management after a 200 store trial kicked off since last October. These will definitely not be your two bit Android-powered tablets though, as GameStop intends to live up to their name as a games retailer by preloading the Samsung, Asus, Acer, and Toshiba makes by throwing in additional gaming titles including the old school Sonic CD, Riptide, the Kongregate Arcade app as well as a free issue of GameStop's gaming mag, titled Game Informer. These additions will also feature prices that are in line with what other stores are offering, meaning you get more bang for your buck as a gamer, and it might just help GameStop gain a small foothold in the tablet market. Granted, GameStop has not been in the best of financial health lately, so to see them take different measures such as this is certainly encouraging, as it tells the world that they are working on a way to get around the problem of bleeding money. Kudos for their efforts – hopefully they will be rewarded accordingly for it. Do you think that Android-powered tablets have a chance to actually gain a decent foothold in the mobile gaming market?

It will be folded around its integrated battery compartment, where its front half collapses against its rear half, whereas its front unifork will fold into the frame, resulting in a compact 30″ x 18″ x 12″ shape. It can be deployed for riding in an instant, thanks to its silent 250-watt electric motor which will help you go uphill without breaking a sweat, or you can power across broad flats for smooth cruising on its 20″ tires at a top speed of up to 15 mph in full-power mode. The removable 24-volt rechargeable lithium battery comes with a 15-mile range, taking half a dozen hours to charge up. It is made out of aircraft aluminum frame, and can support riders of up to 250 lbs. [ Folding Electric Bicycle copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] |

The name itself says it all – this is a 29″ high pet gate that will be able to be opened using your foot, ensuring that your hands will remain free to carry a toddler or perhaps, carry some other stuff as well – doing the things that only moms will do. Constructed using sturdy powder-coated steel, the gate can be adjusted to fit openings that measure 31.25″ to 38.5″ wide using tension mounts, delivering a stout, stable barrier which ought to be able to handle just about all canine breeds (although I am quite sure that there will be exceptions to the rule). The gate door closes itself automatically, and can also be locked to an open position for added convenience. To make sure kids do not tamper with it, a child-proof latch has been thrown into the mix, paving the way for easy one-hand operation when required.

The Power Pot – Thermoelectric Power… and Soup! Posted: 29 May 2012 04:53 AM PDT Last year we had a hurricane and a blizzard that knocked out our power for over a week each time. Every day, there were folks actually fighting over outlets to charge their phones and computers at the library, the firehouse and the towns only open diner. It’s a testament to just how dependent we have become. Personally, I never want to go through that again.. Check out the PowerPot, a portable electric generator that doubles as a cooking pot. Okay, unlikely as it seems, the PowerPot actually transforms the heat you make from cooking your favorite chicken noodle soup into electricity, using a technology called thermoelectric power generation. The Power Pot X can be used inside or outside and it works with any fuel source, it is a typical kitchen-style pot, with integrated thermoelectric technology that makes it a 10W generator. This particular sized PowerPot gives users enough electricity to power several handheld devices at a time, or a larger device, such as a tablet. (or anything else that can be charged via USB) The PowerPot X holds 2 quarts of liquid, and is sized for a small family. This model works well on a gas range, and will provide charging power and lighting at home during a power outage. At present, the company offers the smaller camp size PowerPot V for 149 bucks and will soon make available the PowerPot X, (which produce 5 and 10 watts of usable electricity respectively) and they are developing a higher power model, called the PowerPot XV, with a power output of up to 15 watts. Please visit the website at www.thepowerpot.com to get yourself one, or to learn more about their awesome get a pot, give a pot program, where discounted pricing allows you to get a pot into the hands of a person in a developing country. Very cool… all that, and soup too. source: thepowerpot.com [ The Power Pot – Thermoelectric Power… and Soup! copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] |
