May 23, 2013 08:00 am | Edwin Biofeedback Posture Trainer Having a good posture (regardless of whether you are a guy or a gal) is always a plus point, especially when you are "on the market" so to speak and are looking for a life partner. After all, there is always that air of authority that one emanates whenever you sit up or stand with the proper posture for sure. For those of us who due to a lack of self discipline and "could not be bothered" attitude, perhaps a gizmo like the $89.95 Biofeedback Posture Trainer might come in handy in the long run. The Biofeedback Posture Trainer is a biofeedback device whose sole intention is to train users to develop good posture as it will beep or vibrate whenever it detects anyone slouching. Specially designed by an occupational therapist, this is a lightweight trainer that can be worn like a backpack over clothing, where it will teach the right spinal alignment which would then help prevent back pain and promote good breathing and joint health. Sporting soft, adjustable shoulder straps and a belt that are connected to a central strap which holds the biofeedback monitor over the spine, each time you slouch, the straps will tug on the monitor, triggering a buzzer or vibration. As to whether you prefer to be alerted by a buzzer or a vibration, that really boils down to the settings of your choice. Silencing the alarm is a snap – all you need to do is straighten that back up, and you’re good to go. It is said that wearing the Biofeedback Posture Trainer for three weeks for two 20-minute sessions a day would help you develop the kind of muscle memory required so that you employ good posture all the time.

I am referring to other motorists on the road who do not really bother with your safety, preferring instead to honk in your direction just for fun, seeing you jump out of your skin, to others who really did not see you because they were driving too fast or were inebriated. Not only that, whenever you want to make a turn to the left or to the right, letting go of the handlebar to indicate the direction with your hand carries its fair share of risks, which is where the $59.99 Wireless Bicycle Turn Signal comes in handy. The name of the Wireless Bicycle Turn Signal itself gives the game away, where its main purpose is to increase your visibility especially in low light conditions while reducing the chances of mishaps or accidents happening. This wireless turn signal unit will attach to your rear seat post and the push button controller is attached to the handlebars for easy accessibility. The ultra bright LED signal and audible beeping sound do their parts to alert other bikers and motorists of your intentions way in advance, and it is water resistant as well as powered by a replaceable CR2032 battery for the remote, with a trio of AAA batteries powering the pod.

IdockAll will not be made available to the masses right away, as it needs to have that crucial user base before things can happen at the production line, considering how iDockAll is a crowd-funding project over at Kickstarter. Just what makes the iDockAll so special from all the other docks that are available in the market? For starters, the iDockAll dock will boast of a unique design which enables continuous charging of the iOS devices. For the layman, that would mean you are able to answer calls even when your device’s battery is running low, checking out private messages while synchronization, writing emails on the iPad, just about anything and everything is possible. In a nutshell, you can do all of the above mentioned while ensuring that the lithium battery is being charged up. The iDockAll sports a minimalistic design that is so well executed; users might actually figure out that the iDockAll was a creation by the folks over at Apple themselves. The iDockAll project kicked off on Kickstarter earlier this month, and it has until the end of June to gather the relevant funds. Here is a little bit of context on how the iDockAll came about. Apple enthusiasts Nathalie De Clercq and Kevin Wippermann are old mates who hail from Belgium and were frustrated with the difficulties of docking and displaying their iOS devices (be they iPhones, iPads or iPods) considering how docks kept on changing with each device iteration released. March 2013 proved to be the turning point, as they decided to tackle the issue themselves, resulting in the iDockAll. This is the maiden non-constraining dock that plays nice with the whole iOS product range (Lightning and/or 30pin connector) and their covers, and in line with Apple’s design philosophy, it has been crafted out of a single block of aluminum for that added touch of class.

Sony Mobile might want to help nudge you to arrive at a particular solution with the introduction of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, which is currently made available to the masses around the world. Yes sir, we are referring to a worldwide roll out here, so it should not matter just which continent you are residing on, you ought to be able to get hold of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z at a consumer electronics store near you in no time at all. What makes the Sony Xperia Tablet Z so different from the other tablets that are in the market right now, vying for your attention as well as money? Well, how about this being the slimmest and lightest tablet in its category in the world? Touted to be the "ultimate entertainment tablet" (which is obviously an extremely high standard to live up to), you will be able to choose from black or white colors, where it will also come in either 4G or Wi-Fi connectivity. Just to get an idea on how design centric Sony Mobile has gone with the Xperia Tablet Z, it managed to pick up the gong for the Red Dot Design Award 2013. The world’s slimmest and lightest premium Android tablet also has the proud distinction of having received the largest number of pre-orders of any Sony tablet to date. Not only does it look good, it also packs the relevant amount of technology underneath the hood to make this one stylish water-resistant tablet. Thanks to the now familiar OmniBalance design which perfectly complements its smartphone sibling, the hip and happening Xperia Z, the Xperia Tablet Z is also touted to be the best connected tablet available, where it continues with Sony’s unique one-touch function story thanks to the implementation of NFC connectivity.

I’m a huge fan of first person shooter games, and dabble in just about anything else that even looks remotely entertaining. Yup, I’m addicted. Xbox, Playstation, Wii (gasp) Have them all, but what about handhelds, shouldn’t they have a place in our hearts by now? Check out Nvidia’s Shield, a brand new handheld console, that at first glance, looks like surprisingly like an Xbox controller. This handheld has a 5-inch attached multi-touch flip screen, is wifi enabled, has high quality speakers and it runs on, um.. Android? Okay, in all fairness, the Shield ships with access to Google Play and Sonic 4, TegraZone, Rearmed and some other stuff like Hulu Plus. It also allows some Windows games running on a compatible PC to stream to your device via your local network. But I ask you all, is it enough? The Nvidia Shield comes with a pretty hefty price tag, around 350 bucks, but I’m not exactly sure where the Shield fits in. There are certainly cheaper dedicated handhelds like the Vita, we already had Sony’s Remote Play and we run Android on our phones. I’m also not sure I love the analog joystick placement, and yet, why do I feel like I must have one? So, if you find yourself similarly inclined, and a 350 dollar price tag doesn’t deter you, Nvidia has already started taking pre-orders for the Shield with what is expected to be a June release date. I don’t expect there will be a huge rush to the stores, but just maybe the Nvidia Shield will bring Android gaming to the next level… what do you think?   [ NVIDIA SHIELD – it isn’t a Handheld Xbox copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More In This Issue Biofeedback Posture Trainer Wireless Bicycle Turn Signal iDockAll a Kickstarter project that needs your help Sony Xperia Tablet Z is now available for the masses NVIDIA SHIELD – it isn't a Handheld Xbox Recent Stories K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 Bang & Olufsen launches BeoLab 14 surround speaker system eComfort Home Office Window Washing Robot Lalabu – Baby Clothes that YOU Wear

Daily Digest Coolest Gadgets for 05/22/2013

The latest and coolest gadgets daily digest Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. May 22, 2013 11:00 am | Edwin K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 You know something? Each time the brand name K-TOR comes across my mind, all I can think of is actually KOTOR, which happens to be short for Knights Of The Old Republic, which happens to be one of those Star Wars titles that only fanboys will be able to appreciate. Well, K-TOR so happens to be under our radar this time around, which is why I have started to get flashbacks of KOTOR, but I will do my utmost best to put those aside and concentrate on just what the K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 is able to deliver to the masses. For starters, you are able to more or less tell that the Pocket Socket 2 has something to do with charging capabilities. It makes perfect sense, after all, K-TOR happens to be a designer and manufacturer of portable power generators, so the second generation release of the Pocket Socket hand crank generator has been named the Pocket Socket 2, which is definitely far from being inspiring by any means. The Pocket Socket 2 is a highly affordable human powered generator, where it boasts of a standard outlet interface that is capable of delivering backup energy and emergency power to a wide range of electronic devices. After all, you can never quite tell just when a blackout is going to happen, and it makes perfect sense to be prepared at all times, so having the Pocket Socket 2 right by your bedside is always a good idea. There is the patented technology within the Pocket Socket 2 (in addition to the other K-TOR portable generators, of course) that enable the efficient conversion of human energy into a 120 volt power source. Just what are some of the other devices that the Pocket Socket 2 is able to charge? We are looking at smartphones, tablets, GPS equipment, handheld radios, digital cameras, and medical equipment among others. The Pocket Socket 2 can be yours for $64.95 a pop.

Well, it seems that the folks over at Bang & Olufsen have done it again, this time around with the delicious sounding BeoLab 14 surround sound speaker system, which also ushers in an entirely new category of speakers to the Bang & Olufsen family of devices. The BeoLab 14 surround speaker system is said to be able to revolutionize the marketplace, where it would come across as a conveniently packaged, all-inclusive solution which delivers compact aesthetics, exceptional audio quality and a high-end surround sound performance. The BeoLab 14 will come in a 4.1 or a 5.1 digital surround sound set up, where you will get up to half a dozen individual active speakers, where each of them has its own amplifier, resulting in an unprecedented level of sound quality, never mind that the speakers themselves come in such a compact form factor. Not only that, the BeoLab 14 is also said to be able to play nice with the slew of other TV brands, making it non- exclusive to just Bang & Olufsen televisions alone, now how about that? The BeoLab 14 is said to continue from its predecessors’ successes, where stunning performance is still delivered despite coming in a compact form factor. The satellite speakers on the BeoLab 14 happen to feature diminutive circles of anodized aluminum with exchangeable fabric covers in a range of colors (white, black, silver, dark grey, red and petroleum blue), where they can be easily integrated into even the most stringent interior design schemes. Not only that, the sculptural subwoofer holds separate amplifiers for all speakers in the system, which should allow it to pump up the bass volume from a beguilingly slender footprint. The new BeoLab 14 surround sound speaker system will cost $3,995 and $4,395 for the 4.1 solution and 5.1 solution, respectively.

Of course, having said that, this would mean your home office atmosphere would need to be conducive enough so that you will be able to up your productivity, otherwise it would defeat the purpose of working from home. Enter the $49.99 eComfort Home Office, where this functions as an all-in-one workstation for tablet, netbook, and e-reader among others. There will be textured top grips to ensure that your device remains in place, never mind that you have been indulging in some marathon email sessions for the longest time throughout the day. The top of it will lift off and props so that you can view your tablet at a comfortable angle, while there is a built-in magnetized stylus holder with a stylus thrown in for good measure, of course. Folks who love stashing items away would be pleased to notice the presence of interior pockets and pen loops which do their bit to keep track of small items. Of course, since we are already in the 21st century, we have this first world problem of mobile devices running out of juice during the most inopportune of moments. Fret not, the eComfort Home Office will also come with a handy porthole for charging cords, letting you use your mobile device on the eComfort Home Office while charging it. After all, work never stops, so why should you?

It is not the most interesting task to indulge in for sure, but when some chore has got to be done, someone has got to do the dirty job. Of course, you can always employ someone else to do the work for you, but there is nothing quite like the rite of passage when you are building character – either in you, or in your young ones. The current generation might be happier to note that technology has made life a whole lot easier, where one can now kiss goodbye to old fashioned window washing, thanks to the advent of the $399.99 Window Washing Robot. The Window Washing Robot is touted to be the world's first robot which will automatically clean any glass surface that you place it on, regardless of its thickness. This would mean the gamut of windows, glass doors, mirrors and hard to reach outdoor windows in and around your home can be cleaned with but a single touch of a button. There is a powerful internal vacuum pump which seals it onto the glass as the two motors drive the anti-slip treads, so that this robot will be able to get up and about its cleaning business without slipping and falling to a premature end. Not only that, the Window Washing Robot has built in artificial intelligence that will calculate the glass area automatically, hence resulting in the most efficient route to clean it – or at least according to its algorithm.

She didn’t seem to mind it, but I cant say she loved it either. I needed to get stuff done, and she needed to come with me, so out came the contraption, which my husband and I wore shamelessly for months. Not much has changed in the 10 years that have followed. Until now. Check out The Lalabu carrier, designed especially for the newborn baby and nursing moms, The Lalabu is actually a rather attractive shirt with a built in pouch and nursing bra. When there’s no baby tucked inside, the shirt looks like a simple top, easy to wear and accessorize, but modest and comfortable. The Lalabu is made to be worn all day as a base layer, or with other clothing and the specialized pouch design is meant to emulate a swaddle, which calms babies, and often lulls them to sleep. The Lalabu is designed to carry babies from the time that they are born until they reach around 15 pounds, but can also be used the entire time mommies are breastfeeding. The Lalabu is made in the U.S.A and is named to honor the African woman who taught the makers of the Lalabu how they carry their babies. The company has a ”One Day One Dollar” model, where they will be giving $1 of every sale to help women coming out of poverty in Africa and one day each week helping to free exploited women in their hometown of Atlanta. Well that’s certainly a win-win, and no more plastic snaps and little dangling legs… I like it. If you’re a mommy or mommy to be (or know one) and would like a Lalabu carrier they are available for pre-order now, in black, brown, gray, pink and blue for around 50 bucks, a 10 dollar savings off retail. Just visit indiegogo.com …but you won’t get one till July.
