Feb 02, 2013 04:30 am | Edwin Pocket Socket Portable Hand Generator In this modern day and age, ensuring that your plethora of gadgets which you tote around are juiced before you embark on a journey outside is essential, as most folks would feel somewhat "naked" or "incomplete" without their device of choice in hand that has been armed with a full battery charge. Well, you might want to consider bringing around a portable power generator just in case Murphy happens to drop by, and you need to make that all important phone call in order to clinch a multi-million dollar deal. Enter the $59.99 Pocket Socket Portable Hand Generator that will help save the day, while providing you the recommended daily amount of exercise that geeks require. The Pocket Socket Portable Hand Generator is somewhat equivalent to having magic hands, where it generates 10 watts of power at 120V DC, and will feature a solitary two-prong standard U.S. outlet. Needless to say, hamsters running in wheels are not going to power this, but you will just need to roll up your sleeves and power this thing yourself. Made in good ol' USA, this is an excuse to play the patriotism card when justifying another gadget purchase to the missus.

Well, BLU Products must surely have figured out that there is a possibility of folks thinking about Audi when they decided to name their new range of smartphones under the "Quattro" banner. Ah well, different strokes for different folks. What can we say about the new Quattro Series of smartphone devices? All of them will be powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, which comes with a fifth battery saver core. Expect the Quattro Series to deliver flagship smartphone performance alongside console-quality gaming, amazing graphics, speedy applications and fast multitasking capabilities. Unfortunately, you will not find the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system accompany the new range of Quattro smartphones, but rather, you will be "stuck" with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Fret not though, as BLU Products has released word that they do plan to offer an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in due time. All the new Quattro Series devices will feature quad-band GSM and penta-band 21Mbps HSPA+, including 1700MHz AWS for the US. First of all, the Quattro 4.5 HD will sport a stunning aluminum and glass unibody, and your eyes will be more than pleased with the vivid Advanced Super View 4.5-inch HD 326ppi display that delivers unparalleled viewing angles and contrast ratio, which are protected by the marvelously curved scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. Other than that, there is an 8-megapixel camera featuring an f/2.4 large aperture lens, HD video recording capability, 16GB of internal memory, and 1GB RAM. As for the Quattro 4.5 , it will offer plenty of bang for your buck with a 4.5-inch qHD display, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera, HD video recording capability, 4GB of internal memory, and 1GB RAM. Last but not least, the Quattro 5.7 HD will deliver phablet-class performance with its 5.7 inch, 1280 x 720 HD display, an 8-megapixel shooter with HD video recording capability, 4GB of internal memory, and 1GB RAM.

Daily Digest Coolest Gadgets for 02/01/2013

The latest and coolest gadgets daily digest Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Feb 01, 2013 08:45 am | Alison Make Your Own Iron Man Costume? Getting dumped sucks. It is safe to say that we have all experienced some sort of breakup in our lives. Maybe it was back in 3rd grade or maybe it was yesterday. Some poor guy in Germany recently got dumped by his girlfriend. Rather than sulk he channeled his knowledge of lasers and created an Iron Man arm piece. Patrick Priebe, German laser gadget guru, decided to spend 130 hours and $650 to build that same mechanical device that helps turn Tony Stark into the hottest super hero of the moment. Included in the Iron Man Gauntlet, as you see in the video below, are everything from the pop up motion of the laser to the distinctive red and gold casing. Also seen in the video is Priebe blasting some balloons with the two 1.2 watt blue lasers and two 4-miliwatt red lasers.  On his website you will find other creative laser (and non-laser) devices like a Pulse Laser Gun, a Wrist Bow and a Flame Glove. Why does he create such contraptions? Mainly out of boredom so it sounds. All is not lost however as he was able to sell the Iron Man Gauntlet for over $2600. Not bad for a project to kill time after a breakup. Thanks: L.A.

Yet cables or even Bluetooth can prove a hassle. Near Field Audio technology (NearFA™) came on the scene last year and mystified many of us. How can a box amplify our devices audio without cables or connections? The jury is still out. Heck there isn't even a Wikipedia page on it. Rumors are that NearFA devices use the magnetic field of a phone/tablet's speaker and feed it into their own amp and speaker. Regardless of the science, it sure is nice to simply set your phone on top of a box and have your audio amplified – without cables. The Touch Speaker launches this month and proves to add another stylish addition to the small family of NearFA products. This gadget, housed in a silicone protector, outputs 2.5W x 2RMS and simply takes 3 AA batteries. And with NearFA technology, the Touch Speaker is compatible with any device containing a built-in mobile speaker. Perfect if a friend or family member with a different phone want to share some music. A 3.5mm jack is also included so you're covered that way too. thumbsUP will soon start selling the unit at £29.99. Pretty reasonable considering the ease of use. Enjoy the simplicity of hearing your devices audio effortlessly amplified.

After all, anytime is always a good time for some wine, and when you pair it up with the right kind of fine dining food, it becomes exquisite. Thing is, when you live in an area that is enveloped in a warm climate, the big challenge when it comes to drinking wine is in keeping the wine chilled. Perhaps it is time to forget about drippy ice-buckets, as the Corkcicle Color will be able to slot comfortably right into the top of your bottle, ensuring that your wine remains chilled from within while keeping out any of them nasty insects who decide to make your bottle of wine their temporary home. The Corkcicle Color is made from a thermal gel which has been completely sealed from within the elegant icicle shape, ensuring that it will be able to retain its temperature for a longer period than ice, and far more important, ensuring that your favorite wine does not end up diluted after a while. [ Corkcicle Color for a decent wine drinking experience copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Feb 01, 2013 05:00 am | Edwin Gears of War HammerBurst Prop Replica I will be the first to admit, the moment I laid my eyes on Gears of War on the Xbox 360 all those years ago, my heart was captivated by the sheer grittiness of the graphics, in addition to all of the action-packed gameplay that came along with the game. Of course, expanding the use of one's imagination within the game makes perfect sense, and sometimes, don't you just wish that you could feel some cold, hard steel in your hand that comes in the form of the HammerBurst, especially when you are faced with an irritating colleague in the vicinity? Well, this is where the $899.99 Gears of War HammerBurst Prop Replica comes in handy. Yes sir, I do think that the price tag attached to it might seem to be rather excessive, but do bear in mind that this is a hand-cast, hand-finished, and hand-painted work of art, measuring 36 inches in length and tipping the scales at 35 pounds. With this, you will be able to tote the primary infantry weapon of the Locust around, throw a menacing look at whoever crosses your path the wrong way, and watch them flee in terror. Too bad it does not come with the melee option of the chainsaw bayonet, but at least you get larger caliber rounds and slow-automatic fire. The Gears of War HammerBurst Prop Replica will come with working LED effects and only 500 of these puppies will be in production, so get them while they're still hot. [ Gears of War HammerBurst Prop Replica copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Feb 01, 2013 04:30 am | Edwin Switch wireless portable speaker Most of us carry at least a single device that has a built-in capability to play back audio files, which is why those of us who tend to commute a whole lot to and from work daily tend to tune in to our favorite songs, being oblivious to whatever's going on around the world, at least, until we see where the train has stopped in order to get off. Well, that is just fine and dandy, but some of us do hope that we are able to share the next best musical act (in our books, at least) with the rest of the crowd, and one of the ways to do so is to have a decent portable speaker – preferably wireless. This is where the Switch wireless portable speaker would come into play. Basically, Switch allows you to enjoy your music, movies and games with powerful sound and active bass. Apart from keeping folks entertained, it also doubles up as a professional conference call solution that will play nice with the rest of all Bluetooth enabled devices. Oh, the pros of the Switch do not just end there, as it can also function as a power bank and juice up whatever tired USB mobile devices that are in your possession on the go. Just like the Sony PS2, it does not matter if you want to place the Switch wireless portable speaker in a vertical or horizontal manner, the decision ultimately lies with you without causing any degradation in sound quality. The Switch wireless portable speaker was launched at CES earlier this year, and it will retail for $149.99 a pop. Your ears will definitely be able to appreciate all the technology parked underneath the hood, as it is powered by a trio of high performance drivers, aided by an active sub-woofer which ensures your tunes will sound amazing regardless of the musical genres of your choice.
