Those of you that have multiple gadgets, which is pretty much everyone these days, could probably use something to simplify your charging rituals. This 3-in-1 battery charger might be just the thing to make life a little bit easier. It’ll make it possible for you to charge all different types of gadgets through multiple power sources.
It’ll charge anything you own that could plug into a regular USB port, a Mini-B USB and then finally a Micro USB port. That’ll allow for you to charge things like smart phones in addition to your small portable devices. There is an interchangeable AC wall plug as well as a DC car plug to get the power to the battery charger. Making it possible to charge it both while you’re on the go or just away from a computer within your home. You can purchase it for $49.99 through Amazon.
Now that the iPad has been formally announced, let’s take it a step further with this iDesk. Actually, the technology that you see in this picture is called the Pictionaire, and it is under development by Microsoft Research and the University of California, Berkeley.
As you can see from the attached video after the jump, this 4 x 6 foot table has a camera mounted above it, much like the futuristic hexagonal-type board game that we reported on yesterday.
The user has the power to place a physical object on the Pictionaire, and, with a little drag-and-drop gesture, he or she will have a digital copy of that item. The original physical object can be moved, and the digital copy can be traced onto a whiteboard or a sketchpad.
The user also has the option of putting a wireless keyboard on the table, and the table can become a display. From what it looks like in the video, the user can type in a keyword and get the image that he or she is looking for, maybe from the objects that were on the Pictionaire before.
It reminds of a desk I saw in The Island. Some of you might not remember this film, because it was an intelligent Michael Bay film that didn’t involve giant robots beating each other up. I believe that the villain in The Island had a desk with projections, and he even had Ewan McGregor draw on it with a virtual stylus. You know that desks like this will be in offices of the future, unless the companies can afford a Surface.

Studies have shown that excessive use of the mouse can cause not only stress but also serious health problems. “Excessive” may mean little more than a few hours a day, but that’s another story. However, the good news is that two Canadians were concerned for people stressed and invented a type of mouse more comfortable to hand. AirMouse a wireless device is unique in that it can be worn like a glove.
The product has been clinically tested and works very easily and are sensitive after you use the hand ligaments. An optical camera detects movement. Even if your hand will stay in a neutral position, the laser will transmit a force vector built higher than that conveyed by a normal mouse. But miracle mouse will remain inactive until the hand is in neutral. Therefore, when found key position, you have problems typing with gloves AirMouse attached. As for battery life, AirMouse can withstand a full week without having to load.
Model designers, Oren Tessler, plastic surgery resident physician, and Mark Bajramovic, who teaches industrial psychology at a school in Montreal, spent 300,000 dollars so far to see prototype ready by March. And a combination of the project called for 75,000 dollars for a 15% share, according to Financial Post.
We can expect the next six or 12 months AirMouse be available on the market. The price would be 129 dollars. You think that would completely replace “mouse” so familiar?
The Tablet PC from Apple was finally uncovered, at the conference in San Francisco which I wrote last week. It has a touch screen of 24.6 cm (9.7 inches), a thickness of about 1.2 cm and a weight not exceeding 700 grams. IPad is called … and looks like an iPod Touch higher. Of course, it is compatible with all applications from the App Store, about 140,000 in number, from games to business.
Touch screen sensitivity has over 1,000 dedicated multitouch sensors. Technology is the same used for the iPhone, but suitable for larger areas, of course, to cope with different actions, be it by deleting a message, either by increasing the image of a map. The backlight (backlight) is LED, and otherwise using IPS technology (In-Plane Switching), allowing more viewing angles. Basically, either look in portrait or landscape format, quality visibility is an angle of 178 °.
Size tablet has a lot of benefits from the fact that you can watch clear maps, high resolution, obviously, to the joy of seeing personal notes organized well in the list, half of the screen and the other half to a particular page.
