Feeling lonely?

Yup, I am back to share about some interesting findings about new gadgets. So far, I have shared 2 gadgets with you all which are a thumb-drive which “transforms” and a cool keyboard. I hope you all would like them.




Back to today’s topic, from the title suggested “Feeling lonely?” what kind of gadget came across your mind? Would it be some games related gadget that allows us to occupy ourselves?

 

Well, this gadget that I’m sharing today is more than a game. Maybe I should call it a pet? Then again, wouldn’t it be like some electronic pets that are released long ago already?

I came across this cool gadget news from the internet while doing research. This so called pet is actually powered by USB. This also means that it can only be on your computer desk area or wherever the USB ports are. What does this USB pet got to do with loneliness?

If you have no one to chat to around you or online, you may feel the lack of companionship. This is when pets come in, if you are someone who already owns a pet dog or cat, you may not be interested. But by having a pet that does not mess up your place, at the same time it keeps you accompanied, isn’t that wonderful? It would be something nice for me but I would still prefer my computer games to accompany me more.





As for the features of this USB pet, it is available in 2 colors, red and blue light. It uses a touch technology that is sensitive to touches. Unfortunately, if you are anticipating that the pet will dance or sing for you, it would be sad news for you. Basically, the pet reacts to the “toucher” the one who touch it, then it react to the touch by lighting up their eyes. The pet can be put to “sleep” by holding on the pet longer. The price of this device cost around £35.00 or about $50 USD.

More than just a keyboard

Hi, I’m back again to share more interesting findings of the new gadget release. This week, I came across some new and cool gadget releases. I’ve picked something that is more relevant for our daily usage, it a keyboard!

                                 The Asus EeeKeyboard


You must be thinking what is so cool and interesting about a new keyboard release. Well, you might change your perception towards a keyboard after reading the post. First of all, it is a new device manufactured by Asus, named Asus EeeKeyboard.


The size of it is about the same as the usual keyboard that we are using and weighs about 1.1kg.

The main differentiation of this keyboard from others is that it is a computer itself. Surprised? Powered with touch screen technology, it replaced the conventional number pad.


Besides that, it serves as a mini monitor for the keyboard. With a resolution of 800x480, it also has an in built HD chip underneath enabling users to watch HD video.




Operating on a Windows XP operating system, which is a more “stable” operating system in terms of bug-free than other Windows operating system.




It has a variety of wireless ports in built to it which includes Wi-Fi and UWB (ultra-wideband) and more. With UWB, the Asus EeeKeyboard can connect and stream wirelessly to any HDTV inside its reachable range.

This may seem impractical for us to bring it to school and travel around with it. The fact that we can already surf the internet from our phone makes this keyboard look redundant. This keyboard could be useful for home users, the function of connecting wirelessly to HDTV seems to be convenient. Furthermore, if you are a person who wants to be unique and different from others, you won’t mind getting this.




Apparently, this new keyboard is not available in Singapore yet. For those who are attracted by this cool keyboard, you can always pre-order it on any online stores available. More information can be found here

Transformers- Gadget that "transforms"

I’m sure everyone watched or is familiar with the movie “Transformers”. In that film, it features robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery.

For the gadget that I’m sharing today would be something related to “Transformers” and it is disguising itself into something small and something that we are using every day.


Still guessing hard? Yes, if you are still wondering what the gadget is, you are probably not imaginative enough. Some “Transformers” fans in Japan created their desired “Transformers” robots into something that is useful and creative.

                                Transformers USB Flash Drive Memory(2GB)- Tigatron

For the collectors of “Transformers”, you all will need to add in one more items into your collections. Besides collecting action figures, posters and key-chains of “Transformers”, it will be a thumb-drive for this time round!! The “Transformers” thumb-drive is based on a robot in “Transformers 2” named Ravage. The sad thing is, there are only limited robots that are featured in this “Transformers” thumb-drive series.

Moving on, the specifications of the thumb-drive include a storage capacity of 2/4/8GB with a read speed of 8MB/sec and a write speed of 7MB/sec. The write speed of 7MB/sec is considered to be average, a typical fast thumb-drive claim to read up to 30MB/sec and write at about half of that.

A thumb-drive that can actually “transform”, even though it may lose out in the performance wise, I’m sure it will still be a successful invention. More information can be found here.
