Feeling “hot hot hot” with that buttoned up shirt? Don’t worry. Now you can cool “off, off, off” even with the tie on. Yes, with the USB Necktie Cooler 3 you could cool down yourself even in the hottest days. The cooler comes with a portable charger so that you could power it up any time and any where. It is priced at $35.00 at Thanko.
This could just have been one of the many special elements of a sci-fi flick or otherwise would you have believed, a gorgeous black dress doubling as a cellphone? Dubious as it may sound, this dress called the M-Dress from CuteCircuit actually has a slot to insert sim card and antenna embodied right within the fabric, so that the person could answer calls [when the dress rings] by just bringing her palms near to the ear without having to carry a bulky cellphone!
Sandisk has taken a big step in scaling down the size of portable drives. The U.S. based flash memory maker has recently launched a super-slim integrated SSD, that is also claimed to be the world’s smallest 64GB SSD . The device is not meant for external storage though, rather it will be directly soldered to the mother board. On a ball-park scale, it has size of a small postage stamp and weighs not more than a regular paperclip.
Nokia will soon be launching a new range of handsets that will include the best of both worlds, i.e. a numeric dial pad as well as a touch-screen. The device called X3 Touch and Type, will be first of its kind for Nokia to have such a combination. After all there is a large segment of population who still likes to have the conventional 12-button keypad. Not only the device will have such a cool combo, it will also be one of the thinnest cellphones in the market, at just 9.66 mm deep.
What you see above is not just any point-and-shoot digital camera. It is the world’s first point-and-shoot camera that can capture HD video, all in 3D. The FinePix W3 (an upgrade from FinePix W1) from Fujifilm contains dual 10 MP image censors and also includes a dedicated processor to handle the rendering of 720p HD video. Not interested in 3D HD video? No problem. Just press a button and the W3 will instantly go back to the standard 2D mode.
If you thought that Android is no match for iOS when it comes to 3D gaming, then you are probably right. Let’s all be honest here…the gaming world in Android hasn’t quite ‘taken off’ yet. But a recent tip from a ‘trusted source’ for Engadget claims that Sony Ericsson is about to launch a gaming-smartphone, almost a PSP Go replica, but with a phone built-in and powered by Android 3.0 (Gingerbread).
Check out this gadget from Belkin which lets you take a peek at the energy used up by the various appliances around your house.

Sony launches a new line of budget Walkman in the US. The NWZ-E350 (as it is called), will be available in 4GB and 8GB capacities. That’s enough to store 50 hours of music, or 10 hours of video. You can choose from any three colors: black, red and blue. The only supported video format is WMV though, while the audio formats supported are MP3, WMA, AAC and linear PCM. Both the models are competitively priced and are great alternatives to the Apple iPad Nano.
