| Transportable Exam Station – Bringing the Doctor to You Posted: 06 Jul 2012 09:59 AM PDT
I wish I was born back in the day, when doctors made house calls, and came out to make you feel better at all hours of the day or night. I mean, who wants to get dressed and run out to the doctors office when you’re sick as a dog? I can honestly say that once or twice in my life I have actually been “too sick” to go to the doctor. Well here’s something that has been quite a few science fiction movies in the making, the Transportable Exam Station, or TES. This highly portable unit is built into a rolling weather resistant case and allows a doctor to carry out a comprehensive health assessment, from anywhere in the world using a tablet PC, examination cameras, a real time digital stethoscope and a USB otoscope. A USB otoscope? Who knew? Manned by a mobile technician the Doctor and patient can communicate via PC, the TES not only allows more common general health examinations, but aids in triage and trauma care, dermatology exams, or almost anything else that might require the services of doctor, without the doctor actually being there. Sometimes there are accident and emergency situations where waiting to get to a doctor costs the precious time needed to save a life, but now I can also imagine a future with a whole new breed of medical practitioners, where the doctors hang out at home, and a staff of mobile technicians (maybe nursing staff?) make dozens of house calls that doc’s could now diagnose and treat via the internet. Is this bringing medicine to those who don’t have it, or could this kind of technology someday, cheapen the standard of care? Check out globalmed.com for more information on all their amazing mobile medical technologies, then let us know if you would feel comfortable being diagnosed via PC, I’m relatively okay with it… as long as theres a limited amount of blood… for heavy blood loss or breathing difficulties I prefer my doctor on-site.

| We all Scream for… Pizza Cones? Posted: 06 Jul 2012 09:47 AM PDT
Oh yes, I am a huge pizza fan and living within reach of some of the most famous pizzerias in the world sure doesn’t help to save me from my addiction. It’s all about the crust, it must be crispy, with just a hint of doughy-ness, all with fresh ingredients (you can always tell when the toppings are fresh) Since I know all the criteria, maybe I should make some pizza myself. Maybe, I should make something even cooler than a plain old pizza… I know pizza is pretty much the perfect food, but I still want to tell you about Pizzacraft’s Grilled Pizza Cones, a nifty little pizza making set, that allows the dough to be cut, then formed on nonstick cone molds, and then filled with all your favorite toppings, kinda like a calzone, but baked, and served in a little non-stick cone holder, giving your homemade pizza presentation an huge dash of cool-factor. The Pizzacraft Grilled Pizza Cones set comes with 6 pieces, including a dough cutter, 2 cone molds, 2 cone baking stands, and a dough crimper. The products are made with a non-stick surface and, of course, an instruction booklet that includes a few recipes. I see some pepperoni and ricotta cheese in my future. You can get one too, at amazon.com for around 25 bucks. And hey, don’t forget the Chianti.

| Archos looks to periodic table for 97 Carbon inspiration Posted: 06 Jul 2012 06:30 AM PDT
To cut the long story short, the Archos 97 Carbon is said to deliver the "latest mobile technology" (we will see about that) with a new slim and light design. Hopefully it will be slightly different from the competition, otherwise it is like the same burger under different packaging. Let us check out the Archos 97 Carbon in the extended post. The Archos 97 Carbon will be part of the Elements family as mentioned earlier, which in turn is entry-level line up of 7, 8, and 9.7-inch tablets which merges Archos design and engineering alongside unrestricted access to Google Play, not to mention a full suite of Google apps without breaking the bank. Coming in an elegant aluminum finish, the Archos 97 Carbon tips the scales at a surprisingly lightweight 21.8 ounces, where it will measure 0.45" thick. Your eyes will be treated to a sharp and clear IPS multi-touch screen that is said to deliver amazing vivid colors and impressive wide viewing angles. A 1GHz processor runs proceedings from underneath the hood, in addition to 1GB RAM and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the operating system version of choice. No idea on whether it will get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the near future, but we shall wait and see. The Archos 97 Carbon will be available Stateside from this month onwards at $249.99 a pop – not too shabby, don't you think so?

| Olympus Meg 4.0 wearable display prototype Posted: 06 Jul 2012 06:00 AM PDT
Other companies are said to have bitten onto the Project Glass bug, and most recently, we have heard whispers on the grapevine that even Apple is looking into some sort of Glass alternative. Well, today, we have Olympus and their Olympus Meg 4.0 wearable display prototype which is meant to see action in everyday life. Sounds familiar? Let us take a closer look at the nitty gritty right after the jump. For starters, the Olympus Meg 4.0 wearable display prototype will come with Bluetooth connectivity so that it can "talk" to similarly equipped smartphones, in addition to another obvious benefit, which would be wireless connectivity and easy controls. Apart from that, the Bluetooth chipset within does not really add to the overall bulk, allowing Olympus to achieve a compact, lightweight, low power consumption device that can be used for a long time. The Olympus Meg 4.0 wearable display prototype also follows in the footsteps of Project Glass, as this particular prototype does not get in the way of your normal sight, so it does not obstruct your everyday view. Not only that, you can also increase the utilization efficiency of light of the display panel in order to achieve a higher level of brightness without sipping too much power. Other hardware capabilities include a built-in acceleration sensor and gyroscope that will, in the long run, I suspect enable you to do far more than just snap photos and record videos. No idea on when a consumer class version is ready, but we do hope sooner rather than later at a sweet price point! [ Olympus Meg 4.0 wearable display prototype copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

The tone-arm can itself can be locked into place whenever you are up and about, and as there is no large platter that can be found on conventional turntables, it is capable of slipping easily into a backpack or a drawer without missing a beat. Other hardware specifications include an integrated speaker, a 1/8" external jack and can be powered by either being plugged in to the mains, a USB port, or the old standby – batteries.

This inflatable bowling game will challenge players to assume the “roll” of the ball when it comes to knocking down a set of pins. Too bad adults are unable to participate in this game, as it is meant only for those aged between 5 and 12. The transparent PVC ball can be inflated to its full 7′ diameter by an adult not using lung power (thankfully), but with the included blower. All you need to do is run forward inside the ball in order to generate the necessary momentum required to knock over six 5′-tall foam pins. [ Human Bowling Ball copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

When it comes to the world of tablets, they are dime a dozen. Apple's iPad can be "calculated" in generations, but in the highly fragmented world of Android, you know that tons of manufacturers do their utmost best to release what they deem to be the best Android-powered tablet. I cannot blame them though, as this market does seem to be an extremely lucrative one, and Archos is one of the players here. The latest range from Archos would be a member of the Elements line, and the first member of the family would be the 97 Carbon. 
When Google first announced that they were about to work on Project Glass, you could hear jaws drop. After all, this is deemed to be a natural progression in the area of personal consumer electronics – and who does not want to look cool anyways? Seeing how Project Glass was demonstrated at the recently concluded Google I/O Conference in San Francisco, you could say that this is a niche product, and those who can afford it will most probably fork out the money. To be able to record what I see as well as snap photos without having to pull a digital camera from my pocket is definitely something new, and this novelty also extends the fact that it does not end up in the way of my vision.
Now here is something that brings together the old and new under a single roof – with the 
Now, they say that we ought not to judge another person until we are in that person's shoes, which is why there is just something about not caring too much about physical objects. After all, they do not have any kind of emotion and are not sentient, never mind that our phones and tablets do have their fair share of memory chips to store your favorite images and videos. Bowling lovers who love venting their frustrations on a bowling ball might want to see how it feels like when the tables have turned, thanks to the | You are subscribed to email updates from Coolest Gadgets To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
