Ajoka Video Recording Belt

Friday, March 14th, 2008 | Storage-Devices with No Comments »

Ajoka has rolled out what looks like a standard belt buckle, but it can actually record 3GP videos in 176 x 144 resolution. Now that’s pathetic, since it isn’t even good enough to put on YouTube, but that’s the standard resolution when it comes to playing videos on cell phones anyway.

It will store all video on a 2GB microSD memory card which can hold the equivalent of 65 hours of video. A single battery charge limits its recording time to 3 hours - more than enough for you to capture damning evidence of an office tryst. Best of all is, this belt buckle spy camera cannot be picked up by a wireless camera detector so you can go about with your clandestine recordings without fear.

Korg DS-10 Synthesizer

Friday, March 14th, 2008 | Other with No Comments »

The Korg-approved DS-10 synthesizer from AQ Interactive will soon make its way to DS’ in Japan, featuring a couple of patchable virtual synths with two oscillators each, a drum machine, a sequencer, and an entire range of effects among others.

Word has it that you can also hook up with several systems by taking advantage of the DS’ wireless capability, playing a tune together or exchanging sounds and songs. Music buffs who tend to take gaming breaks with their DS Lite will be able to pick up the DS-10 synthesizer for less than $50 if they import a copy from Japan come this July.

LucidTouch Mockup

Friday, March 14th, 2008 | Computers with No Comments »

LucidTouch, Microsoft’s see-through touch screen concept is definitely going to be revolutionary when it comes out, although it remains to be seen just how much of an impact it can make in the consumer electronics industry.

In order to further aggravate our Pavlovian response to all things gadgety, Microsoft has released a photoshopped mockup of a tablet PC that uses LucidTouch and I can say that I’m sold. The only problem with mockups is this - the final product is rarely as cool and tantalizing as what was shown in renderings, and as we all know, there will be a camera located at the back to detect your hand and finger positions. Hopefully Microsoft engineers will be able to come up with an infrared sensor mounted at the back to do away with a bulky camera. Are you looking forward to LucidTouch?
