LATEST GADGETS OF THE YEAR

2. HP’s new laptop is exquisitely
made – from its glossy
'espresso’ finish to the circular
patterns etched into the
chassis by the trackpad, it
oozes style. It’s billed as an
'entertainment notebook’, so
there’s plenty of clever features
too, including a fast
processor, Blu-ray highdefinition DVD support, an
HDMI port, and HP’s
MediaSmart software, which
gives access to on-demand
television and video, and the
ability to watch and record TV
shows, as well as build
personalised music playlists.

3. One of the biggest
trends we saw at
this year's CES was
celebrity-endorsed
tech. From
headphones to
microphones to
cameras and
sunglasses, these
items have a built-in
spotlight shining
right on them
thanks to the stars
that are lending
their support.
WIRELESS HEADPHONES

4. The iPhone changed the way we think
about how mobile media devices
should look, feel and perform. The
design is exceptional inside and out:
It's got a slick glass-and-stainless
steel case and an elegant touch
screen loaded with eye candy. It's an
iPod and a 2-megapixel camera.
Images and video clips display
vertically or horizontally — they
reorient themselves depending on
how you hold the thing. When the
phone detects a wireless network
within range — your own home wi-fi
set up or somebody else's — it lets
you tap once to connect, and then
proceed with your Web
surfing, Google mapping, emailing
and other activities that can otherwise
be painfully slow over AT&T's cellular
network — the only
one, unfortunately, that carries iPhone
calls.
IPHONE

5. CAR FIILED WITH APPLE’S GADGETS.
The 15 inch display in the middle of the vehicle is the main attraction. This is used by a
Mac minicomputer under the rear shelf. This is very cool to watch when seated at the
back with friends. Another cool stuff is the 2 iPods built into the seats along with
keyboards and mouse connected via Bluetooth. So what else can you ask for this setup.

6. PLUG – IN WATCH
Yes, it is an analogue watch works just like a regular analogue watch. The only but the major
difference is that it has a USB plug both for recharging the battery and for fastening it on your wrist.
Many people have experienced that when you want to wear your favorite watch after not using it for
a while, it is out of battery and the watch goes back to the collector's shelf because you don't have
the right kind of "button" battery. This Plug-in Watch solves the problem. The idea behind this piece
is that we can start making changes with what we have as much as with new gadgets.

7. During your business travel you
might get call from your clients or
employees and then talking at
headphone would be the best
option specially when you talks on
the confidential matters. This
gadget also entertains you without
disturbing others around.

8. SMALLEST MECHANICAL POCKET
CALCULATOR

"Designed by an Austrian
prisoner (Curt Herzstark)
in KZ Buchenwald during
World War II, it remains
the smallest pure
mechanical calculating
device on Earth. Its more
than 700 pieces are all
made out of metal, nearly
all types of calculations
are possible: Enter the
number, turn the
crank, and out comes the
result."

9. SCARA BEE
The Scara Bee a little vehicle that you control with your iPhone or
iPad. It can record up to one minute of video. Fun for playing with
pets.

10. There are plenty of
gadgets and gizmos
aimed at children, but
this electronic puppy
from VTech claims to be
educational as well as
fun. Youngsters will love
its digital, pixelated
face, interacting with
KidiDog by asking it to
dance, tell jokes and 'eat
food’. In return, the
cybermutt will teach
youngsters how to count
to 10 and recite the
alphabet, identify
different foods and
enhance their social
skills. It may or may not
be able to alert you to
someone trapped in a
ravine or down the old
mineshaft.

11. POWER HOG
DIGI-PIGGY
CATEGORIZED FOR CHILDREN AGED THREE AND OLDER, DIGI-PIGGY EFFECTIVELY DEMONSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE AND
BENEFITS OF SAVINGS. TEACHERS AND PARENTS ALIKE HAVE USED THE DIGI-PIGGY TO SHOW CHILDREN HOW TO SAVE
MONEY. IN THE CLASSROOM, STUDENTS CAN LEARN HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE DOLLAR AND CENT SYMBOLS AS WELL AS
THE CONCEPT OF DECIMAL NOTATION. AT HOME, CHILDREN CAN SEE HOW SPARE CHANGE, MONEY EARNED FOR
CHORES, AND COINS UNCOVERED FOUND THE FAMILY SOFA (OR DAD’S POCKETS!!!) CAN ADD UP AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT
ON THE LCD DISPLAY INCREASES. THE DIGI-PIGGY SERVES AS A GREAT TOOL FOR CHILDREN TO LEARN THE VALUE OF
SAVING FOR SOMETHING THEY WANT OR NEED BY PROVIDING A PERSONAL APPRECIATION FOR AND CONNECTION WITH
THE MONEY THEY EARN.”

12. Washing machines
have more setting
than I can ever begin
to understand.
Toasters have settings
for bakery items I've
never heard of. And
kettles even offer
up different ways to
boil water.
Sometimes, it feels like
domestic gadgets are
put in our homes to
confuse us.

13. As every frequent flier will tell
you, the novelty of dragging
your souvenir-laden suitcase
through a succession of the
world’s airports soon wears thin.
Thankfully, modern technology
provides the perfect solution –
power-assisted luggage, which
falls just short of driving itself to
the check-in desk. This sturdy
case has ―flat motor‖ technology
built into the wheels to give you
a helping hand when it senses
you’re trying to lug your case up
a slope or kerb. Best of
all, though, is the unique ID chip
built into the case, so you’ll
know exactly which corner of
the airport it’s been lost in. It
also has a handy on-board
umbrella

TEMPERATURE. AFTER 24 HOURS, PLUG IT INTO YOUR COMPUTER'S USB PORT TO UPLOAD THE DATA TO

15. NIKON D5000 -THE D5000 CAN TAKE A LOT OF PICTURES QUICKLY, AND THAT'S
NICE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO CAPTURE LIVE ACTION. THAT WAS HELPFUL IN
TAKING SOME SHOTS OF A BISON IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK THE OTHER DAY.
ALSO FOR TRYING TO GET SHOTS OF A TRAIN GOING INTO, AND OUT OF, A TUNNEL IN
WYOMING.
