RiTek USA has came up with a nifty little USB Drive. It has a two port hub built in. So, you have one usb port that the drive plugs into, and two more that are available for use. You can also daisy-chain up to six more ports. What does all of this mean? It means no more wishing that you had more ports. You have plenty! The device also has an LED status light showing which ports are in use. It’s very small, and weighs no more than 1/2 an ounce. Assorted colors are also available.
When the average person wants to check the water temperature coming out of the faucet, they usually stick their finger under the running water, right? Well,in this day and age, why should anyone be bothered with the old fashion way, when you can do it the high tech way? This nifty gadget is called The Temperature Controlled Faucet Light. Here’s how it works. When the water is hot (89 Degrees Fahrenheit), the water turns red. When it’s cold, (under 89 Degrees) it’s blue. Pretty cool, huh? (No Pun Intended). It’s both fun and functional! And pretty handy for older people. It works on most USA faucets, and includes adaptors for 95% of most manufacturers. Sweet!
No matter how you feel about it, text messaging is here to stay. Thanks to cell phones, there is no more worryin about tying up the the family computer to stay in touch. The Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 is a gadget that will keep you in touch wirelessly. Why would you need this gadget when almost everyone has a cell phone? Because, with the Z2, there is no commitment, no contracts. You can buy a predefined bank of text messages for a small fee. The device supports Yahoo, MSN, and AOL/AIM accounts, and works with over 20 major cell carriers. No IM Fees! Screen: 2.9” 320 X 240 Color TFT LCD Screen (Translation: Sweet graphics!)Weight is only 0.781 lbs. It’s pocket sized and ready to go 3.74×3x0.9 inches. Features include MyTunez MP3 music player, and you can stream music from the internet. It also uses a MiniSD card, and has a photo viewer. Sweet!
How many times have you been to a party, and after a few drinks, wonder just what your alcohol intake would be if you were to be pulled over by the local police? Never, you say? Well, if you are one of those kind of people that just “have to know” this gadget might be for you. It’s a Digital Alcohol Sensor which can help you possibly decide when enough is enough. All you do is turn it on, breath in it a few seconds, and it gives you a reading with one of four levels. It also includes a clock with alarm function, and a parking count down meter. Small enough to fit in your purse or pocket. What more could you ask?
One of the problems I have came across with mp3 players is that they are too complicated to use. You are trying to play your favorite tune, and have to remember what button to push, or what sequence of buttons to use. By the time you figure it out, if you are like me, you have either turned the thing off, or are being asked if you want to delete the song. Well, iRiver tries to solve those problems with the release of the SPINN MP4 Player. The thing iRiver wants to promote with this player is a new type of “toggle wheel” which should make it easier to find the tunes you want. Ah, back to analog technology. Features include a photo viewer, FM tuner, recording capability, Flash games (including Flash 2.0), a text viewer, and even a dictionary. The screen is a 3.2 inch WQVGA TFT-LCD with 480×272 resolution. Not to mention it is Blue tooth Stereo compatible.
I didn’t even know there were 62 different types of cards out there. SD, Micro SD, and the Sony cards are all that I usually deal with in real life situations. This little baby will give you acess to almost anything available, (and some that are probably not….) It also features an internal 3.5 connect bay, USB, Firewire, and SATA slots. And if you’re worried about audio jacks….your problem is solved. It has audio in and out. How much does it cost? That’s one of the best parts. It’s only $39.99; which seems a little too good to be true.
