The name of the tablet itself would have given the game away, as this particular tablet was specially designed to survive in the kitchen – since it would target cooking enthusiasts who do not mind having a digital cooking assistant that also packs enough firepower underneath the hood in order to deliver a decent personal entertainment experience. Just what kind of hardware do you think we are able to find underneath the hood of the Archos ChefPad? For starters, there is a dual-core 1.6GHz processor that will be accompanied by a quad-core graphics processor, not to mention having the flexibility of capturing self-portraits with the front facing camera and a back facing camera, too, as both of them weigh in at 2-megapixels.

The 9.7" Archos ChefPad will run on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and it ought to hit the market sometime this June for $209.99 a pop. What makes the ChefPad special would be the inclusion of the Chef Apps Selection, where aspiring Chefs are able to pick and choose from a selection of the best cooking apps which range from recipes, cooking tips and cooking TV to cooking assistant apps. This will be an exclusive app program that curates the best of all apps from Google Play regardless of the category, making it a whole lot easier for the end user to discover the most suitable content. Other hardware specifications include 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded via a microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity and a mini HDMI connector. Any takers for the Archos ChefPad?

Of course, when the weather outside is super cold (and wet, assuming it rains in your area frequently), the hot meal becomes all the more desirable. The thing is, some of us do pack our lunch at home and bring it to work, but by the time lunch time rolls around, our lunch is extremely cold and bland to the taste, requiring us to pop it into a microwave oven for a couple of minutes to heat it up. Enter the $39.99 Magnetic Thermopot, which is said to be a more "grown-up" version of the thermos. The Magnetic Thermopot has a seal that borders on the magical, especially since it is capable of keeping things hot as well as cold, depending on the food that you place inside, for up to 5 hours to boot. The folks behind the Magnetic Thermopot have decided to endearingly call it a food flask, as it sports a vacuum sealed cork lid which is guaranteed to keep your food hot (or cold), while being accompanied by a stainless steel spoon which is attached to the side for that added bit of convenience. Capable of holding up to 17 fluid ounces, those who tend to eat on the go would find the Magnetic Thermopot a decent addition to their collection of dining apparatus.

Of course, some of us do not mind letting Lassie lap up water straight from the tap without any boiling or filtering done, but for other folks who intend to go the extra mile for their four legged friends, perhaps the $69.95 Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain is a good idea to invest in for your home. The Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain is pretty much self-explanatory, where it will dispense water whenever it detects that there is a dog nearby. Just how does it do so? No, there are no invisible leprechauns hanging around in your garden, ready to press a button each time a pooch ambles along, but instead, it relies on a built-in sonar proximity sensor which is capable of detecting a dog’s presence within 3′ and across a 40° angle, where it will then automatically turn on the water, and is smart enough to turn it off when the pet leaves. Thing is, your dog might be a labrador, and we all know how much labradors love water – so they might just hang around the Dog Activated Outdoor Fountain all day long. This particular unit is a snap to install – all you need to do is attach it to a garden spigot, and you're good to go. There is also an integrated splitter which enables a hose to remain connected to the garden spigot, with its housing is made from weather-resistant hard plastic that will also be able to resist the curious dog’s chewing. A quartet of C batteries are said to deliver up to one year of juice, now how about that?

Daily Digest Coolest Gadgets for 05/13/2013

The latest and coolest gadgets daily digest Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. May 13, 2013 12:00 pm | Edwin Portable Solar Powered Speaker We live in a world where just about any mobile device that one carries these days – be they smartphones or tablets, are capable of playing back some music. And the amount of storage that these portable devices hold can reach insane levels, in fact, a whole lot more than your regular hard drive back in 2000. This would mean you would be spoilt for choice when it comes to the amount of songs that you can listen to, and chances are you would not have enough time to go through the entire playlist in a single setting. The thing is, sometimes, you want to share your eclectic taste in music with your mates, and your smartphone's speaker just ain't cutting it. Good thing there are alternatives out there like the $99.95 Portable Solar Powered Speaker. The Portable Solar Powered Speaker not only lets you share your favorite tunes with the general public within an acceptable radius, but as its name implies, it is capable of offering an infinite amount of charging for your compatible power hungry devices – as long as the sun shines, that is. The speaker would pair up with a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or other wireless music player, where audio is played back via a 2.5", 3-watt full-range speaker which delivers crisp sound. Its rechargeable battery has been rated to deliver up to eight hours of operation from a five-hour charge thanks to its built-in solar panel, and it comes with a rugged, water-resistant IPX4-rated exterior to boot. [ Portable Solar Powered Speaker copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More May 13, 2013 11:00 am | Edwin Stor-More Key Safe announced Scientific studies have shown that words tend to be a whole lot easier for one's brain to remember compared to numbers (which explains why it can be rather difficult in figuring out just what our passwords to the numerous online accounts that we own are, especially if they come in the form of numerics only), and obviously one does not need to go through an expensively funded scientific study to arrive at the conclusion that leaving one's house, car and work keys under the doormat is a foolhardy and unsafe idea – especially in this day and age. This is the very same reason why WordLock decided to introduce what they call the Stor-More Key Safe, which has been touted to be the most secure, convenient, and reliable manner to stash your keys, garage door openers and other valuables. Touted to come with the largest storage capacity on the market, the Stor-More Key Safe is capable of hiding away over 30 standard keys, multiple smart auto keys, garage door openers, and credit cards among others. In order to ensure that those valuables remain safe and sound, the Stor-More Key Safe would be accompanied by an easy to set, never forget word combination that has 10,000 possible letter combinations, which is sure to confound even the most determined thief. WordLock inventor and co-founder Todd Basche said, "When we set out to change the personal security market, there hadn't been an innovation in lock technology for years. Our car keys are bigger, our house keys are bigger and we all have more of them. When it comes to safely storing these for others to use, the Stor-More Key Safe takes usability and innovation to a whole new level." The Stor-More Key Safe boasts of a solid aluminum locking head, hardened steel shackle and stainless steel safe which is more than capable of going up against hammering, sawing and mother nature's elements.

Well, a shiny new gadget is always nice to own, and so you too, much take the relevant steps to offer it the relevant amount of protection. Needless to say, a smartphone cover should be a given, and just in case you are a paranoid android, here is the £44.99 Smartphone Security Sensor to further help your case. The Smartphone Security Sensor would play nice with majority of the iPhones, iPads and Android-powered devices in the market, where a single charge will allow it to run for up to 3 months, now how about that? Of course, it will be accompanied by what has been deemed to be a really awesome US siren effect should the sensor that you are carrying no longer detect your smartphone within a 20 meter radius. Sound is not the only thing to alert you of a potential theft, as it will be accompanied by LED lights and vibration alerts, too. [ Smartphone Security Sensor copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More May 13, 2013 09:00 am | Edwin Booq unveils Boa Squeeze bag Most of us who own a notebook would also have an accompanying notebook bag to bring along with us on our travels, where it is rather obvious that one should always separate technological devices from regular clothes and other items that you bring along with you on your travels. After all, it sure as heck makes life a whole lot easier when traveling, especially when you have got all the little details down pat and divided into their different sections, right? The thing is, with so many different brands of notebook bags to choose from, just which particular model does one choose? Booq might have an idea, especially with their experience in rolling out premium laptop bags, backpacks and iPad carrying cases in the past. The notebook bag in question would be the Boa squeeze, which was specially designed to pack your 13-15" Macbook and other essentials in a simple yet luxurious and lightweight design, making this the ideal fit for today's traveling creative professional. On the outside, you will find a strong denier nylon exterior alongside water-repellent coating as well as contrasting water-repelling interior with rip-stop lining, where these will definitely do their bit to fortify the Boa squeeze from within and without. There is the densely padded interior laptop compartment which has been lined with soft Nylex in order to keep your gear safe and scratch-free, while a bunch of exterior pockets, including a quick-access iPhone pocket on the top of the bag, aim to deliver easy-access to your most frequently used accessories. The asking price for the Boa squeeze stands at $129.95 at this point in time, where you will be able to bring your notebook around in comfort, safety and style, without having to compromise on Booq's intelligent and professional design. After all, backpacks are meant to bring around a whole bunch of stuff, and since the Boa squeeze is lighter than its rivals, it would help put a spring in your step.

In fact, Sennheiser has just announced that they will be rolling out a new range of ‘Universal’ headsets, and the good news is this – all of them will play nice with the latest smartphone devices of today, which happen to hail from a slew of companies such as BlackBerry, Apple, Samsung and HTC. These new headsets will be based on some of Sennheiser’s most successful models, where among them would include the HD 219s on-the-ear headset, the HD 429 around-the-ear headset and the MM 70s ear canal headset. As mentioned above, these new Universal headsets from Sennheiser will be compatible with just about all smartphone brands and models, and these will include recent hits such as the BlackBerry Z10, Apple iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One. Individual models will offer consumers integrated capabilities in order to manage phone calls, play and pause music, change tracks and adjust the volume, which makes them the ideal tool for listening and communicating while you are on the go.

You get a pair of neodymium magnets which will assist in delivering lifelike sound, in addition to a noise isolating design. Any takers?

I remember being a kid and imagining what it would be like watching cartoons in the center of our living room floor. I just knew it would be real… I just wildly underestimated the time it would take to make it happen. Well, according to sources at the Wall Street Journal, Amazon is working on a smartphone with retina tracking technology, that will allow your smartphone’s images to actually appear to float atop the screen, and then without glasses, allow you to view them at all angles, just like a hologram! Users might even be able to navigate the phone, and it’s content, using only their eyes. Rumors have been around for a while suggesting that Amazon has been developing a phone or two, and maybe even an audio streaming device and a set top box, and of course it is entirely possible that none of them will ever make it to the marketplace, but we can dream can’t we? Would you sign up for a 3-D smartphone from Amazon, or do you see it as simply a novelty? Please, let us know.
