Solar Mobile Charger targets ladies

post from Ubergizmo on 11 December 2006 09:23:26 PM. © Ubergizmo

You might think that the Solar Mobile Charger on the right is actually a compact mirror at the first glance, but in reality it is a tiny, portable device that is more than capable of providing your MP3 player or cellphone with some much needed juice at times where a power outlet is nowhere to be found. In addition, you can also hook up the Solar Mobile Charger to a car's DC power or an AC outlet for instant charging. Each purchase of this $18.50 environmentally-friendly device ships with adapters for Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson cellphones. With such a small footprint, I'm not sure how well it performs, but I guess having some power is better than no power at all.

Sony announces Memory Stick PRO-HG

post from Ubergizmo on 11 December 2006 09:16:43 PM. © Ubergizmo

Sony and SanDisk has issued a joint statement that the new Memory Stick PRO-HG has been released, and this new format is capable of supporting up to 32GB and come with a maximum data transfer rate of 480Mbps. This means you get to store more homebrew programs, music, and video on your PSP without dealing with a whole bunch of easily misplaced memory cards. With a 32GB capacity, this will definitely be the main rival to the SDHC format that was released a few months' back. Judging by Sony's past practices, the Memory Stick PRO-HG will definitely cause a huge hole in your pocket if you want one. Do take note that Memory Stick PRO-HG compliant devices won't be available until next year.

Adult Link looking swanky

post from Ubergizmo on 11 December 2006 09:08:12 PM. © Ubergizmo

Fret not if you failed to pick up the USB Pole Dancer - there is always a healthier (and more expensive) option with the Adult Link from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This new collectible from First 4 Figures measures around 7" tall including the standing base and features Link winding up for his signature spin attack. Cast in top-notch poly-stone, Link is fully hand finished and hand painted, so no two statues are completely alike. Link's Master Sword and Hylian Shield completes his turly manly look. There will only be 2,500 of these available worldwide when Q2 2007 rolls around. Each Adult Link statue will retail for $109.99.

something special

post from Mr.Gadget Australia on 11 December 2006 08:05:28 PM. © Mr.Gadget Australia

Have a teenager who has blitzed through all this school assignments/exams and who is now permitted to get some serious gaming on? Reward them with the Zboard USB Gaming Keyboard!The Zboard USB Gaming Keyboard is perfect for games such as Battlefield, World of Warcraft, Counterstrike and Guildwars. I saw this when I was in the U.S. last year and couldn't wait till they were in Oz. I liked how you could add game-specific components to it to enchance gameplay, e.g. there's a WoW keypad and Counterstrike keypad with all the keys you would ever need in the game.

Three Key Components Of the Zboard:

1. The ZBoard Keyboard Base
A Zboard? Base has an auto recognition feature for any keyset you insert. There's no need to install any additional software. It is the brain behind the brawn. Just switch Keysets & Play your favorite games. The Zboard? Base comes with these standard features: USB Hub

Your Zboard? Base is equipped with 2 USB (BUS powered) connectors. This HUB supports low voltage devices (up to 100mA) such as mice, joystick or memory sticks. Now you can plug devices directly to your Zboard? without the hassle of crawling down to your PC.

2. Hot Keys
A set of nine hot keys launch common functions such as E-Mail, Calculator and My Computer or allow you to instantly return to a pre-selected destination, such as a file, folder, program or web page. Multimedia Controls

A set of 7 one-touch multimedia control buttons: play/pause, stop, next/previous track, volume up/down and mute.

3. Additional LED indicators
In addition to the standard 3 LED (Caps, Scroll and Num lock) Zboard? has additional 3 LEDs to indicate Zboard? enhanced functionality (Pad Lock, Bar Lock and Enable) The Gaming Keyset
