This is one of those gadgets that private eyes use for their spy mission! Just plug the Logitec Digital Recorder into unsuspecting homes and you’ll get 50 hours of their their telephone conversations. Thanks to the 128MB built in memory. You can also throw in an extra SD card if you think 50hours isn’t enough, you voyeur! :P
Logitec’s Digital Voyeur Recorder
The digital recorder, LIC-TRA056SD, is a private phone recorder, set to be out in Japan first according to AkihabaraNews…before the month ends. Why am I not surprised? I think it’s because the characters on the picture are Japanese. Oh parents with teens, if you are wondering why your phone bill has taken a hike up into the stars, maybe you should invest in this digital recorder and see if your kid is currently dating :D
Maybe they are trying a little too hard to be cool with this product? Remio had good intentions building this, let me say that but if you look at the design, it’s a multipurpose randomness. A dice comes with, oh, a speakers on the twos and sixes, some plug points on the threes and some USB ports on the six and it goes on and on. You can even plug your precious laptops, PCs, and other battery operated gadgets into their surge protector plug points if you want.
Personally, I think the design is quite weird. But maybe that’s just me wanting certain things to be the way they are. I don’t want a speakers cum surge protector cum USB hub cum charger all in one dice. I know, they want us to get a set of die so we can have a proper speaker system – it’s always two with that. But it’s ridiculously bulky and unnecessary.
Here’s a list of specs from the Remio HC UPS/Speakers:
* Full power protection and back up your equipment.
* Intelligent microprocessor control.
* Lightning and surge protection.
* Output short and over power protection.
* Smart battery management.
* USB/SNMP capability.
* MP3/4 charger.
* Stereo audio function.
* RF protection (CATV coaxial jacks).
It even runs on batteries too, i wonder what good would that do if you’re gonna use multiple things on it. It won’t last more than an hour? I guess my take on this Remio dice is that I am not too sure about it. I don’t know if i like it and I don’t know if i dislike it. I am kinda leaning towards dislike more than like though.
No word on the prices yet but something tells me it won’t be that cheap.

No it’s not a phone for mice. It’s a dual purpose phone that Sony has come up with it. INGENIUS i tell you. Who wouldn’t want a computer mouse that is also a phone?? It’s the most decent idea since sliced bread!
This phone is only a available in Japan so people like me who are not in Japan can kiss my big bottom about ever getting one. *sulks*
Let me tell you a bit more about the phone. It’s actually a Skype phone, not a cellphone with GPS, digital camera and what not. It makes more sense that way cos otherwise who would want to buy this cellphone that acts as a mouse? So yes, it’s a Skype phone that transform into a mouse and into a phone again at a flip.
Say AYE! to Sony Mouse Phone.

Who would have thought that the usage of a USB card can cross the line of media and advertising??? The little rectangular space can be your business card’s face. Your prospects will receive the USB business card, read it and then use it to store their favorite songs and clips. How will they ever forget you?
Take a look at SolidAlliance’s USB Business Card.

This is not a watch,obviously, this is the world’s thinnest 2,500 lumen projector. The projector is 43-mm (1.7-inch) / 1.7-kg (3.7-pounds) XJ-S46 projector blasts 2,500 lumens for ¥268,000 (about $2,263). The XJ-S36 brings the same form factor but drops the brightness down to 2,000 lumens for ¥238,000 ($2,010).
Projectors I used to know was bulky and heavy. This one looks like it could fit into a suitcase and carried along to meetings and what not. The Casio XJ-S46 also comes with a USB port for functional friendliness with a computer. Whoopie. Everything’s USB these days. There are also two other models to choose from, the XJ-S41 and XJ-S31 configurations. You’re going to have to ask others what those XJ numerics means.

Another USB invention that is nifty and useful. The USB Microscope allows your take macro pictures of things around your computer desk. The picture quality is excellent as you can zoom in on the speciments you collect around your house. Hey, you could even make this an interesting gadget for learniing with your kids. Let them see how many legs a fly has up close x200. They’d be intrigued or be really scared, if it’s the latter then your kid might need to desensitized a little in this violent world. Sigh.
The USB microscope is $179.99 at THINKGEEK.

A Japanese company called Y-E Data announced 6 months ago that they have created the world’s first wireless USB hub called YD-300. Now they’re ready to ship their product to anywhere in the world. However, they’ve got some pretty undesirable reviews from the guys at Engadget who says that they’re not living up their promise of 480Kbps for up to 10metres.
While they promise up to 480Mbps at distances of up to 10-meters, in practice however, this drops to a paltry 30Mbps (max!) and even that degrades significantly over just a few meters.
Yikes, that can’t be too good. But it’s good if you have two computers side by side then it’d makes things easier. Maybe because this is the first hence it’s till very noobie in the sense of functions and frills – this wireless USB hub doesn’t support isochronous data, quality of service, or medium bandwidth reservation to ensure data arrives in time so that means you can say bye bye to quality video streaming. This is probably for the basics only.
The YD-300 costs ¥39,800 ($338). I’d probably wait for something better to come out, really.

Here comes another USB invention – The USB Absinthe Spoon.
Frankly, since USB was introduced to the world we do not have a lacking of invention that makes use of this portal; like the USB Beverage Chiller, USB Air Purifier, USB Turntable, USB Speakers, USB’s that looks like a Squid, a Duck and pieces of sushi are among the creations.
And that’s just probably a fraction of what’s really out there.
Anyway, the question of this USB Absinthe Spoon’s usability is how often do we really drink Absinthe and why would we need a long thing like that sticking out of our USB Port? Beats me; Absinthe is not really an everyday drink unless you’re an alcoholic seeking for a new high.
For those of you who are in the dark about what Absinthe is, it’s just an alcohol beverage with about 70% ALCOHOL in it! That’s almost 50% more than the usual liquors out there. It’s bitter as hell, which is why this spoon is invented so that people can sieve the bitter liquid through sugar.
Word has it that this USB has a 2Gig memory and it’s still a prototype. You can perhaps get one HERE, if you can come up with a good enough reason why they should hand it to you. Oh did I mention that Absinthe is ban in the US cause drinking it will make you see green fairies flying around? Well, now you know :)

Thanko has come up with a lot of weird USB creations in the past. And this time, they’ve created an Air Purifier that you can plug into a USB point in your computer. Cos uhm you know, most people are stuck on their computers so for their health benefits it makes sense to make health products USB friendly……
I actually laughed when I saw this creation. It just looks so funny. See for yourself:
Thanko’s USB Air Purifier
“I can breathe in front of my computer again!!!!!”, is what she’s saying, I bet. LOL! She looks so funny and the guy did too…geez, how much did they pay those actors. The product only cost $20 bucks but I don’t know if I’d buy it even if it’s 5 bucks…i wouldn’t want to be caught dead wearing that weird looking mask.
