Raise your hand if you went from Blackberry to iPhone or Android devices. The only regret I found after the switch was the lack of tactile keys on the keyboard. You probably knew – or were – a finger keyboarder that could put full keyboarders to shame. Ever see someone type while looking up. Yep. RIM really taught us all the art of tactile mini-keyboard typing. By now typing on the screen we tend to lose that speed. I'm guessing that spell check is the smartphone manufacturer's way to combat the lack of tactility. What would it take to make our Galaxys, iPhones, Kindles and the like have this one missing feature? A smart company called Tactus Technology, that's what. Tactus invented a technology that will take the place of a manufacturers top display layer, things we commonly call the lens/window/cover glass. When the device calls for a keyboard the Tactus Tactile Layer™ Technology injects a proprietary fluid into said top layer enabling raised surfaces to appear over the keys on the display. Using this technology will not interfere with other touch functions on the screen and uses minimal power. Buttons do have some resistance – just enough to prevent the accidental touch from typing a character. Tactus is creating the technology for a variety of screen sizes and types. So expect to see it in phones, tablets and phablets. At this time, OEM is their strategy, rather than producing consumer overlays. No plans have been announced on where you may see Tactus Tactile Layer Technology in a device. But it seems imminent.   [ Feel that Touch Screen Keyboard! copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Jan 28, 2013 08:06 am | Edwin bēm wireless speaker trio starts to ship I know that the above title does seem to have its fair share of typos, but that is because the official names of the company as well as the device itself does not sport any upper case letters. Yes sir, bēm wireless did announce that they will start to ship the speaker trio, having unveiled the bēm wireless speaker trio at the recently concluded CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The name of the speaker trio itself gives the game away, where it will comprise of three different speakers which share a common wireless connection to its base. Basically, you can say that the speaker trio is an audio product which was specially designed to enhance the user's lifestyle, where it delivers pounding, pulsing beats to different rooms with the help of the control of a solitary Bluetooth device. Bryan Katzel, Director of Marketing and Product Development for bēm, said, "Elevating our consumer's lives to their highest potential is our top priority at bēm. From conception to execution, we crafted the speaker trio to help eliminate wires with a simple interface that allows users to forget about complicated audio gear and just enjoy their music." You will be able to place all three speakers in multiple rooms, where it will enable you to simultaneously ramp up the tunes the next time you host a party at your pad. The wireless connection that each speaker shares with the base will enable the user to control music from a single device, be it the same iPhone, iPad or other Bluetooth-enabled device. Of course, it will be limited in terms of range due to Bluetooth's specifications, leaving it to approximately 120 feet of wireless connectivity. Once the party is done and over with, all you need to do is return the speakers to the base and they will be able to enjoy an easy, wire-free recharge experience. The speaker trio can be yours for $299.99 a pop.

Well, the $149.95 Odor and VOC Eliminating Air Purifier would definitely come in handy, as this air purifier will rely on patented filter technology in order to remove odors and airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs). One ought to take note that the nano-scale material in the filter, should it be laid out flat, would end up with the surface area of not one, but two badminton courts. This would go a long way in enabling it to capture over 99% micron-sized organic particles in a room. The purifier itself works hard by breaking down molecules which will carry odor or bear VOCs, and the toxic airborne chemicals which are emitted by many common household synthetics such as carpets, varnishes, and cleaning agents. Not only that, there is also a colored LED which delivers an indicator of air quality at a glance.

If your answer is in the affirmative, then you would definitely fall for the £29.99 Bar10der for sure. Touted to be a unique Swiss-army (bar) knife, it will feature not one, a couple, a trio, or even a quadruplet – but rather, 10 utensils that the modern mixologist would require, where they range from a muddler, a jigger, a strainer and a stirrer, among many others. Assuming the folks over at Swiss Army were to create a tool for the regular bartender, you can say that the Bar10der is the kind of bar-tool which would end up rolling off the production line. Sporting a sturdy construction, it comes in an attractive and handy design, and the entire shebang would measure somewhere around 9cm to 15cm in length, depending on what function it is in at that point in time, and 4cm in width and an equal amount of length in height.
