Aevex Gloves Are Self-Heating

post from Ubergizmo on 13 October 2008 11:59:03 PM. © Ubergizmo

With the chilly winter looming, it makes sense to prepare for the season, so why not update your winter clothing range with Aevex Gloves instead of normal woolen ones? What makes the Aevex gloves different is the ability to store energy in its lithium-polymer batteries, delivering warmth over a 6 hour period. Interestingly enough, due to the way the textile functions, the gloves will only allocate heat as and when required in order to conserve energy. They won't come cheap though, as the Mountain Hardwear Red Savina and Outdoor Research PrimoVolta will retail for $300 and $260, respectively. Of course, you can still use these once the batteries are exhausted, but your fingers won't be that nice and warm. Better bring a spare pair so that you can remain comfortable and cosy while charging the Aevex gloves.

Sirius SUB-X2 Boombox Image Leak

Quell your curiosity on what the Sirius SUB-X2 boombox looks like with this leaked image above - it clearly resembles the SUB-X1 boombox, front-panel headphone jack, auxiliary input and all, but do expect certain audio refinements to come with the successor. There is no information concerning the features on the Sirius SUB-X2 boombox, but chances are it should retail for approximately $100 or so.

Abilene Christian University Offers iPhone 3G/iPod Touch For Freshmen

Where else but Abilene Christian University are you able to get either a free iPhone 3G or iPod touch when you enrol for your freshman year? So far 650 first year students chose the former, while 300 decided on the latter (either they don't know what the iPhone 3G is all about, or they already have one). Perfect for parents to keep in touch with their kid who grew up in a blink of an eye. Of course, that would mean having mom and dad bail you out with your monthly call charges as well, in addition to your hefty tuition fees. Shame on you!

Asus Eee Motherboard Coming Next Year

Asus Eee Motherboard Coming Next Year

Maybe Asus should just change their company name to Eee - the Taiwanese corporation has just announced that it will be introducing a new motherboard under the Eee family sometime in Q1 2009. Let's see, we have the Eee PC, the Eee Box, the Eee Top, and now the Eee motherboard? Sheesh! The naming convention was pretty cute and catchy at first, but I think this is just overkill!

Sharp Softbank 824SH Waterproof Phone

Sharp Softbank 824SH Waterproof Phone

Waterproof handsets aren't new, but Sharp ups the ante with the new Softbank 824SH. What makes this clamshell so different from the other waterproof cell phones? For starters, it is currently the undisputed champion when it comes to the slimmest waterproof phone in the world, but other than that, do expect many other features found on it to be the same as similar handsets. Dig the slim form factor!

Multidrive RS Racing Simulator

Here's a racing simulator for those who can't afford a nice sports car (as $4,600 can get you a decent second hand jalopy without the works). The Multidrive RS racing simulator lets you zoom down famous racing tracks around the world without worrying about injuries or speeding tickets, and thanks to the integrated 5.1 audio system, realism isn't too far away from one of the list of features. You also get a 32" high definition display, pressurized pedals for realistic brake mechanics and versions that work with PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 configurations.

Robo-Q The Thumb-Sized Robot

Robo-Q holds the distinction of being the smallest two-legged robot in the world, and it is even able to kick a football - scaled down, of course. On display at Robo Japan 2008 (where else), this micro robot will come in a quartet of different colors and will retail for approximately £21 in Japan next February before it hits Europe later. Guess getting 22 of these will allow you to organize a robotic soccer game.
