The Video Watch: not a killer combo

Jake — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 08:09:55 +0000

They’ll keep trying combining stuff. The latest addition: a 8GB Video Watch. I don’t think it’ll be a success.

If you want to watch a movie or tv series while you’re on the go, why not use that far more suitable device you also carry around all the time: your mobile phone. This video watch may make it big in the “retro nerd scene”.

Handpresso – no survival without an espresso

Jake — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:27:16 +0000

“Premium quality espresso – anywhere!“

The website shows images of where to use the handpresso: mountain tops and sunny sandy beaches in the Caribbean or French Polynesia.

If you’re on a (planned) survival trip in the mountains the least important thing to take with you is… right! If you’re on a sandy sunny beach, drag your lazy ass to the pool bar or wait for the waiter to come!

Don’t forget to bring your china on the trip!

Gadget Hip Holster: making all gadgets look bad

Jake — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:31:42 +0000

Gadgets can be cool, can be nerdy and can suck. Now here’s a gadget that will make all gadgets look bad.

The moment you put your very cool gadget in this hip holster, it will instantly suck! The sales pitch at Think Geek:

“Travelling through hyperspace isn’t like dustin’ crops, boy! For one thing, you’ve got to make sure you’ve got all your gear with you.”

Asus laptop with infused scent

Jake — Mon, 04 May 2009 13:57:11 +0000

They’ve lost it at Asus: “ASUS today launched its new 13.3-inch notebook featuring an infused scent which comes in two different flavors; ‘musky black’ and ‘morning dew’.”

Why? Probably to mask the scent of your smelly colleagues. Or: if you use your laptop in the bathroom, you can prolong your stay there (hope they’ve improved the battery life). Just guessing here, off course :-]

iPhone accessory for dorks

Jake — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:14:01 +0000

This accessory is a lot of things… ‘cool’ is not one of ‘em. Not in anyway. If you own an iPhone, you can use this holster to maintain your nerdy image. In all other cases use it as a gift for people you dislike.

sWAP Cell Phone Watch – another try

Jake — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:53:54 +0000

“The sWAP Cell Phone Watch transforms the watch into a wrist communicator a la Dick Tracy.”

Dick Tracy is old and so is this concept. We know this will never be a succesful combination.

One of the ‘features’ is that you can use it to visit WAP-sites. WAP never made it big, nobody used it, we thought it was long gone…

For a cool £ 249 it’s yours… Use it at an eighties party!

Apple’s iPhone: overexposed, overhyped

Jake — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 06:05:29 +0000

I’m the first to admit: the iPhone is a cool device, but… it’s beginning to suck big time. There’s too much to do about it, it’s overhyped and overexposed. Apple’s marketing department should take action by start working on a diversion plan to save it’s image….

In the meantime we’ll be waiting for the first Android phone (GPhone maybe?).

Orange Dance Charge

“The Orange Dance Charge is a portable phone charger powered through the kinetic movement of a system of weighs and magnets.”

We’ve checked if it was launched on April 1st… it was not.

The Neiman Marcus Underwater Wireless Speaker

Jake — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 06:42:01 +0000

Summertime is here. Water related gadgets pop up all over the place. Here’s one you can use underwater.
“Can go up to nine feet (3 meters) underwater for up to 30 minutes.”

Use it in case you want to lure your pool fish with mesmerizing sounds (or stun them with heavy metal).

For skiing or boarding maybe? Don’t think so…
