Rovio (by Wowwee…the same guys who make all the cool robosapian robotic toys) is a 3 Wheeled, Wifi enabled robotic webcam with built-in navigation system.
Rovio - Mobile Webcam
It’s fantastic:
TrueTrack Navigation System - Think of it as mini-GPS using little beacons you drop in each room.
Built in microphone and speakers.
Moveable camera.
Omni-directional movement.
The Wowwee guys are geniuses when it comes to taking sophisticated technology and finding ways to crunch it down into a small and affordable toy. This is seriously one of the coolest gadgets/toys I’ve seen…well, ever really.
Nadia (w00t!) recently introduced me to the absolutely hilarious Frisky Dingo. It’s difficult to explain what it’s about to be honest, but you can find out more about it here.
The Blackberry Bold is set to be released by Etisalat on the 7th of October.
According to the press release you’ll be able to take advantage of the full 3G speed (7.2 Mbps) using the unlimited Blackberry plans.
In case you haven’t heard of the Bold, it’s the new top of line, flagship Blackberry. It’s got an amazingly sharp screen, faster processor, WiFi, GPS…pretty much everything you could ask for really.
Apple has just announced a bunch of cool stuff at Macworld 2008. They’ve updated the Apple TV to support Flickr and .mac photos, added movie rentals and you can now buy stuff directly.
Coolest announcement of course is the new ultra thin Macbook Air, which is apparently “The World’s Thinnest Notebook”. It’s extremely thin, weighs very little and fits in an envelope…
You can check out all the new stuff on the Apple site.
With a week to go before Macworld ‘08 I thought I would just provide the following words of wisdom: For God’s sake don’t buy any Apple products now because it will be obsolete in a week…and you’ll feel very, very stupid…so just don’t do it.
That being said, Apple has just updated the Mac Pro and Xserve product lines. So if you were looking to buy either, then you’re safe…probably.
This has to be one of the coolest christmas presents. It’s a personal helicopter that can be packed up and carried around with you. There is of course the small problem of it being insanely dangerous. Just look at the thing… potential for all sorts of limb-slicing, decapitation disasters.
