Motorola V750 is Rugged
May 30, 2008
Motorola’s new V750 is one rugged handset that will roll out that summer, meeting military specifications of 810F for shock, vibration, solar radiation, high temperature storage, altitude, high and low temperature operation and blowing dust. Guess that is tougher than most ordinary humans are, so bring that whether you’re planning to break any records in climbing up Mount Everest or heading towards an adventure where you know the terrain is less than forgiving.

Onyko X-NX10A Audio System
May 30, 2008
Not many home audio systems come with an integrated hard drive, but the Onkyo X-NX10A is one of them. Some of the features include :-
- 80GB hard drive
- LCD display
- USB connectivity
- MP3/PCM/ATRAC audio formats
It will be accompanied by 13cm medium and 3cm tweeters, packing a total output capability of 26W each. You can expect to fork out approximately €450 for the X-NX10A. I wonder whether somebody knows how to hack it and place a larger capacity hard drive…

Focal iBoom HiFi iPod Dock
May 30, 2008
Focal from Japan announced its new iBoom HiFi iPod Dock that functions with a wide range of iPods, ranging from the obsolete mini to the touch. Japan is a pretty huge consumer of the iPod after all, so it makes sense for that to be released there in the first place. Other than playing back your favorite tunes, that iBoom iPod dock additionally doubles up as a charger when your iPod is docked within. Features include a couple of speakers, a singled-out 3″ woofer and one tweeter. The Apple remote works just fine with that 2kg unit, and it won’t take up too much space in your tiny Tokyo apartment, measuring 300mm × 190mm × 240mm. Expect to fork out a pretty pricey $300 for that.

Logging Spider gets to Work
May 30, 2008
Now that is definitely one vehicle that I would love to try out, although I suspect I’ll need some sort of logging license before Greenpeace activists and tree huggers come running after me. Dubbed the Plustech Oy Walking Machine, that logging machine was specially designed to minimize damage to the forest during logging activities (sounds like an oxymoron, eh), featuring the ability to move around in a more agile manner compared to wheeled and tracked logging machines. Obstacles (as well as tiny animals) can simply be stepped by in order to preserve as much of the forest as possible, taking only what loggers are after and not more than that.

Massive Digital Ceiling Clock
May 30, 2008
I know it is Friday and all, but somehow that Massive Digital Ceiling Clock is one way your boss pressurizes you to finish up your work before the weekend rolls around. Definitely a bane to clock watchers, but for those who go about their duties with a joyful heart won’t matter - after all, the more lighting in the room, the better! I would think that the shifting light every minute can end up being pretty distracting though.

The Link Child Locator
May 30, 2008
You never know which zoned out person today could just snatch your kid away at a busy mall, so it is always better to prevent something from happening than to look for a cure. The Link Child Locator concept device ought to be manufactured soonest possible, as it is capable of letting you track down your kid within a 100 foot radius - perfect for moms who already have a hard adequate instance trying to get the week’s groceries while managing her bunch of little ones at a local store. The child will wear one of the bracelets, while the parent will wear the other in order to view the direction and distance of the child at a glance. Definitely not something to wear when you’re playing hide and seek. Other than pixie magic, I guess that will rely on some sort of GPS signal whether it were to be developed.

Glowing LEGO Clone Trooper
May 30, 2008
A Clone Trooper is but a Clone Trooper, right? Apparently not, whether you happen to be a hardcore Star Wars fan with plenty of moment and passion on your hands to convert that regular LEGO Clone Trooper into one that has glowing eyes, thanks to the use of LED. It isn’t too difficult to throw in the LED, but I guess you’ll need a steady pair of hands and a fair number of LEGO figures before you get the entire process down pat.
