This new wireless headphones from Onkyo is made to be iPod compatible. This sleek and poised headset has a 2.4GHz band is compatible with the iPod Classic, Touch, Nano and Mini. It also includes inputs for other audio devices as so it does not limit itself to just the iPod users.
The Onkyo Wireless headphones is set to release in Japan on Nov 14th for around $200, but there is no word on where it will be released in North America. You could try to order it via eBay should you be lucky enough to find it there – it would make an excellent treat for yourself or as a present.
The Vaticans have actively taken part in bringing a greener life to their brothers by installing Solar Roof Panels on their rooftops. The celibate-hood spent approximately 1.5million dollars to install 2400 panels. I wonder where they got their money from?
I guess they weren’t kidding when they said the Vaticans are some of the richest organizations in the world! But kudos on the effort, I suppose 1.5million is well spent if some study had said that the Vatican establishment creates the most pollution in the EU.
When I was in school, I didn’t need all these fancy gadgets. Kids these days are so spoiled with cellphones, laptops, MP3 players and what not. Parents, why would you buy your kids all these gadgets if it, really, truly, honestly ONLY serve to distract them from their subjects? I never had a cellphone till I was 19 and I never even had my own laptop till I was away to university. I made do with a desktop and it works just fine.
Seriously, an MP3 player? Do you think your kid would be paying attention in class listening to Paris Hilton? Come onnn…..
All you need to back to school supplies are BOOKS, REVISION BOOKS, and stationary. None of all this mumbo jumbo stuff. And if they whine, I only have this to say….”Spare the rod, spoil the child”!!!
MUahahahahah….
Will not be responsible for any abuse cases that might occur if a parent reads this. And to be honest, I wouldn’t whack my child, I’ll just not have any
This is where you can have the sky and space in your living room. Of course, no one really will buy one unless they are bars, hotels, science centers and what not. The Homestar Extra will only be sold in Japan and will be out in December only. It is estimated to cost roughly between $700-800 each.
Babies with shaking butt crawling all over your table? Takara Tomy’s latest toy is all about that, it seems. It plugs the cuteness and the addictive wiggles of these toys that I am ashamed to say that even I am intrigued by it.
At first glance, the teddy bear reminded me of the bear toy in A.I. (Artificial Intelligence by Steven Spielberg) who could walk, jump, play and speak. But Kuma is in fact a full size teddy bear phone. To use it, you need to pick the teddy bear up and put it’s snout near to your ear as if it is whispering to you. Cute?
I think the bear is rather cute but because it is a phone, it would be rather odd to see a grown person holding a bear to their ears on the streets. It would be fine if it was a kid of 4 to 12 years old because as soon as they reach 13, the bear would be a bane of their existence.
Kuma was a hit at the 2008 Good Design Expo. Quite ironic since it is a design of that is not affordable (not $$ but in function). It is too big to be carried around unless you want to lug it around like a child. But if that is your cup of tea, why not?
The phone bear is priced at $500 each and that can save up to four speed dial numbers.
Are you a fan of Tokidoki? Well, if you are, you better go grab this limited edition of this mini, eco-friendly laptops from designer Simone Legno. The Tokidoki mini laptop is only available in Japan and through the Fujitsu site. Check it out here: Fujitsu’s Tokidoki Laptops. While browsing the site, do check out the paintings the designer drew for the Sichuan earthquake called This is for the Children of Sichuan. It’s a very emotional piece drawn to raise money for the victims in Sichuan, China.
This new concept phone by KDDI is mind bogglingly uber cool. The phone simulates ply concept where each layer is stuck together to create bigger things like a cupboard. But this phone is not a cupboard mind you, each ply does make one phone but each ply stands for individual functionality; each layer has its own very distinct function, ranging from a photo printer to game controller to mini digital projector.
If you want to check out PLY, run down to KDDI Studios at Harajuku. I will SO get me one of those when and if it ever comes out into the market. Guys at KDDI, if you want someone to check out PLY and do a review, send one over this alley…;) I’ll do it justice!
It seems like old fashion cameras from the era of 20s and beyond are making a come back. Superheadz are launching their Blackbird,fly cameras – a twin lens retro-style camera. Check it out:
The price for these babies are not so bad at all, only $100. I don’t know much about its function but if it just for normal snap-snap moments, it should do the trick.
If you are interested in checking these babies out, go to the Superheadz roadshow, Magic Camera Tour 2008.
