Depend on outlet no more with PowerMonkey Portable Charger
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008
Every gadget lover knows that his favorite gadget is always limited by battery life. Cell phone, PDA or music player - they all live a very limited amount of time, and must be recharged when it ends. Sometimes, due to dead battery, we can miss important calls, or be left with no music on a half way to destination we going. It is very annoying - to depend on those chemical processes that happen inside a battery of your most needed gadget. You can buy an additional battery, but it is very expensive to buy it for every gadget you have! PowerMonkey made a solution for people who want to be protected from sudden battery depletion, and it looks quite interesting!
PowerMonkey Charger looks like one of those Chinese flash MP3 players, but don’t be fooled by its appearance - it will do much help when time comes. Holding inside a Li-Ion rechargeable battery, it will hold power without leakage for about a year, and its small size makes it comfortable to carry it always in your pocket. It can power up almost every gadget - PSP, ipod, PDA, cell phone… This gadget exists in two variations - the mains-powered Classic model and the solar-powered Explorer, so you can always choose something that is more appropriate for you. Rubberized casing makes this charger more water resistant, and handy LCD screen shows how much battery power it is holding right now. With its universal mains adapter you can charge PowerMonkey in over 150 countries!
Going to a vacation, will you take four bulky chargers or this tiny universal one? The answer is expectable. This gadget will do much help to those who like to travel a lot and who hate to be left alone with a dead gadget when battery suddenly runs out. The independence from battery life will cost you from 59 dollars for Classic to 127 dollars for Explorer version.
Unfortunately, as we are getting older, so does our eyes. This means that even if you have a healthy eyes and a good clear vision now, that won’t last forever. Old people that need to read something need to carry a different pair of glasses - one for reading, one for main use. Technologies try to help people to step over these problems, from contact lenses to a laser surgery. This solution is the most unusual and high-tech one.
To ensure the efficient functioning of your cutting-edge cell phone you need a lot of different devices (such as: charger, Bluetooth headphones, speakers and so on). Of course it’s not a trouble to get them, more by token, that the majority of these devices are generally available with the cell phone. Yet the problem is about the possibility to lose some of them. Moreover some people do not like “boring” devices that perform just a single function. That’s why a group of Korean designers invented a new all-in-one gadget.
When talking menus just aren’t futuristic enough, we reckon Teraoka’s Deli Touch pen — which strongly reeks of LeapFrog’s Tag — is the next best thing. The system works with barcode-laden menus and enables customers to simply swipe their choices and have them beamed directly to the kitchen. Besides hastening the order process and keeping the interaction between customer and waiter / waitress at a minimum, the device may also give you a solid reason to skimp on the tip — not that we’d recommend such a thing, of course. Unfortunately, we’ve no idea if this setup is built to play nice with picky eaters and their laundry list of special requests, so we’d probably recommend steering clear unless you’re totally cool with the standard fare.

MobileBurn reviews the Sony Ericsson K770 and writes, “Sony Ericsson’s K770 offers a solid suite of multimedia features. The 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera is a prime example. The camera takes very nice photos in most any situation, and offers an experience more like that of a dedicated camera than most any cell phone available today. The sliding protective cover on the back is active, meaning that it activates and deactivates the camera without the need for navigating through a menu. The two-stage shutter button offers great feel, and the camera settings menu and shortcut keys are about as easy to use as can be. In fact, the K770’s keypad shortcuts might even make the camera easier to use than a dedicated point and shoot camera. The only thing missing is an optical zoom.
Sony’s very latest top dog flagship Bravia F/F1 series have just been announced over in Japan, and wow, does it look amazing! The Sony F or F1 series will be avaliable in three sizes, 32-inch, 40-inch, and 46-inch, in either Silver or “Black Sapphire” aluminum finishes. Thin HDTVs seem to be all the rage this year, and the Sony Bravia F1 / F is getting in on the action, at just 7.4 cm wall mountable depth, and a very thin frame of just 27mm.
