| ION Water Rocker – Making Sound Waves Posted: 31 May 2012 03:25 PM PDT Here they come, the lazy days of summer. It’s time to break out the suntan lotion, fire up the grill and listen to everyone’s favorite summertime songs. We were all just talking about some of our favorite summer hits from years past. I can remember my favorite summer song, yup – that was an awesome summer. Too bad I can’t talk about it. Well its time to make some new musical memories and whether you’re just lounging by the pool or actually neck deep in the water, the Water Rocker will be your new best friend. Relax in your little yellow water wings as this nifty waterproof, ball-shaped speaker floats and bobs at your side, blasting your favorite summer tunes as you relax and enjoy the abundant sunshine. Your iPhone, iPod or almost any other audio device stays high and super dry, in the wireless transmitter dock, which can be almost 100 feet away, and you can float another 9 speakers around the pool, utilizing the same single transmitter, talk about a party! The Water Rocker doesn’t only work with your iPhone or iPod. Since it actually includes a transmitter, you simply need to plug in virtually any audio source using the 1/8-inch jack. Heck, you can even plug in your TV and listen to the big game as you drift along on the sparkling water, freshly made Pina Colada in hand. Plus, there’s a built-in FM radio so you can even listen to your favorite radio stations. The ION Water Rocker can be your’s for only 99 bucks from Target.com, suntan lotion is extra.

| Battle Mug lets you raise one to our troops Posted: 31 May 2012 06:30 AM PDT
In fact, it will take a fair amount of strength to lift up this 13.5 pound mug, and it is something that the Mighty Thor should be able to identify with back in his debut movie where he decided to throw the mug onto the ground and shout, “Another!”. Surely this will be able to withstand such throws! Having said that, the M1913 rail interface system will enable you to mount a tactical light, laser device, holographic sight and even a bayonet for close quarters, high risk operations, how handy is that?

| MH-2 robot acts as your digital Jiminy Cricket Posted: 31 May 2012 06:00 AM PDT
Sounds too cumbersome for everyday use? Perhaps, but with miniaturization thrown into the mix as well as the advancement of technology, you can be sure that this particular idea might even be able to take off in a big way in due time. At least you can have a virtual conversation with expressions thrown in to a certain degree with a family member or friend thousands of miles away, which is still cheaper than purchasing a flight ticket for them, no?

| Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 targets Apple products Posted: 31 May 2012 05:30 AM PDT
Sporting a built-in Bluetooth connection, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 will continue from where the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 and the Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio for iPad left off. You get an easy-switching capability that enables you to pair different devices simultaneously, where switching among them is as simple as pushing a button. Denis Pavillard, vice president of experience design at Logitech, said, "Laptops, smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous – both at work and at play.

With its simple solar charging, familiar Mac layout and comfortable design, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 will appeal to Apple users worldwide." The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 comes in a stylish form factor that is compact, so that it will not look out of place when working alongside your beautifully designed product from Cupertino. Thanks to its aforementioned easy-switching Bluetooth connection, you are able to pair your keyboard to as many as a trio of devices and switch among them without the need to reconnect. The minimalist design on the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 even comes with Mac-specific keys, such as Command, Brightness, Eject and more to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Not only that, the unique Logitech concave key design will enable you to be more comfortable when typing, delivering speedier response and greater precision compared to typing on an on-screen keyboard. Expect the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 to arrive in the US and Europe from next month onwards, where it will retail for $79.99 a pop.

| Archos Child Pad ready to hit the market Posted: 31 May 2012 05:00 AM PDT
Apart from purchasing an old, first generation iPad from someone else, you might as well go all the way and deliver a tablet that has a specific target – the little ones. There is just something about Alvin and the Chipmunks being revived, where their past three movies actually combined to rake in more than $1 billion from box office receipts alone. I know, this is no Avengers, but it is still quite the achievement for a trio of high pitched chipmunks that would make for a decent meal for select jungle tribes out there. Enter the Archos Child Pad that has an Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 theme in place. This unique Archos Child Pad will come in a compact and lightweight design, not to mention run on a 1GHz processor, accompanied by 1GB RAM while having Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the operating system of choice. Pretty neat, since that would mean not having to loiter around and keeping your fingers crossed for an operating system update which might not even arrive in the end. To make sure that your kids love it to the max, it will feature special Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 content like behind-the-scene clips, images from the movie, wallpapers, and even an online game. If they want something more feathery, there is always the pre-loaded Angry Birds game to keep them occupied, and as a parent, you will be pleased to know that this $129.99 tablet comes pre-loaded with a 6-month parental control application for child-safe web browsing. It boasts of a redesigned interface that features colored icons and folders to deliver direct access to games, apps and books, and has 4GB of internal memory to get you started.

There is nothing quite like seeing your loved one return from the battlefield safe and sound, and you just want to cheer their sacrifice and efforts in ensuring that the world remains safe and sound from tyrants and despots. Why not surprise them with this timely gift, the 
Telepresence might be the new buzzword in the days ahead, and with the MH-2 robot, you would know why I said so. After all, this unique robot will be firmly seated on your shoulder (MH stands for miniature humanoid if you need to know), and it is powered by a rather large backpack that is filled with servos. These servos will no doubt animate the robot with a rather impressive range of motions that encapsulate its head, body and arms, enabling it to strike a range of poses to mimic the person whom you are having a conversation with. Of course, the person will need to wear some sort of motion capture setup in order for their actions to be “sent” over to the robot itself.
You can say that the world is extremely hungry for energy – new and developing nations are consuming more and more resources as they focus on building up their infrastructure, while the more developed countries work on improving efficiency, by making the most out of the least that they have. Solar power is one renewable energy source that should be looked into serious by just about any company, as it is free, and many countries do get a decent amount of sunlight each year. With the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760, you know that your prayers have been answered, as it will target the Mac, iPad and iPhone.
So your little one has been hankering after you for a new tablet, considering how you do your very best to prevent him or her from coming anywhere near your iPad each time you come home from work? You know the drill – as much as you want to let your kid enjoy some games on the iPad, you know that he is still trying to get his body’s co-ordination right, so walking or running around with the iPad in hand is not exactly the best idea, since a slip of the fingers or a fall would mean a crying child and the very high possibility of a broken display – not something you can afford right now, what with austerity measures being introduced just about everywhere else.
Dell has just announced the XPS One 27, where it comes in a stunning design as well as vibrant display, making it the largest all-in-one computer from Dell to date with 27″ of viewing goodness. Not only that, there are the new Inspiron One 23 and Inspiron One 20 that help do away with clutter and simplify life for family entertainment, but we will concentrate on the Dell XPS One 27 for now. Dell’s reimagination of the XPS One 27 will target those who want a beautifully designed system that paves the way for multimedia creation and entertainment.
South Korean conglomerate Samsung has just announced the availability of the Series 5 Chromebook laptop and desktop, coming in the form of the Series 5 Chromebook and Series 3 Chromebox that will carry Samsung's signature renowned, sleek design identity. Tipping the scales at slightly more than three pounds, and measuring under an inch thin, the Series 5 Chromebook can be toted around in a jiffy. Not only that, the full-sized keyboard is said to be able to help one achieve maximum convenience and productivity, as it carries a 12.1-inch, SuperBright LCD display that is perfect for all of your portable computing needs, ranging from viewing photos and work documents to holding a conversation face-to-face thanks to the integrated webcam.
Forget about the Tissot, Rolex or Tag Heuer, those are luxury timepieces that cost thousands of dollars, and can be passed off as family heirlooms as well. Unfortunately, they are way too formal for my liking, and you cannot really wear those with just a pair of jeans and a T-Shirt. Instead, if you are one who is way more casual, you might want to look into something different that will help set you apart – such as the Wall Switch Watch for instance.
More than a year after the Fukushima crisis hit Japan, there is still much work to be done in rebuilding that area of Japan. Having said that, with so many potentially radioactive accidents waiting to happen in an earthquake prone nation like Japan with nuclear plants dotted all around the country, what are the odds of being right smack in the middle of a radiation hotspot without you knowing it? Well, your smartphone might do more than just handle your emails, calls and text messages, as phone operator Softbank is said to start offering smartphones with built-in radiation detectors that will be sensitive enough to check out whether the area you are in is safe and free from dangerous levels of radiation or not.
