I doubt if this concept is going to find some buyers and if it gets some, then I am sure the gadget will have some real few buyers for the world is full of people who hate going to dentists thanks to the guilt of what they are doing to their teeth.

Now, without confusing you more, let me spill the beans as to what I am talking about. Reference here is to this new Oral Hygiene Monitor, which is a scanning plate that can be installed anywhere in your home and it will keep a track of all that you eat.

Not just this, the monitor designed by Sarah Disdale will also send the info to your dentist so that he knows what all you have been doing to your teeth all the while.

All you need to do is, whenever you sit to have your meals just bite down on the plate and place it back on the unit so that it can send the info to the dentist and he can search for what best suits your teeth.

Hello Kitty 5mPix Camera
Posted in Camera on 25 October 2007

Here’s another reason for the Hello Kitty lovers to love her all the more. Now she is available in shape of a camera (now, this is not the news). The news is that the new hello kitty digital camera is 5 mega pixel.

Though it’s not for those hard core photographers, but will definitely be a treat for the amateurs. The left ear of kitty homes the shutter, while the lens is hidden near the bow-tie. It is adept enough to sport a 2” LCD and SD cards.

What more? It will also have a 32MB of internal memory to save the pictures(I wish it was some more) and a 4X digital Zoom.

Think this one will be a good pick only for kids or those who don’t take photography much seriously.

Lego

Most of us must have tried our hands at playing with that lego set, but none of us must have imagined seeing them getting a life? But this will be possible with your kids as their generation will soon see a Lego-revolution, taking over and those building blocks getting a life.

Soon to come are the electric legos, which will not only move but will also interact with each other. The main circuit board that otherwise looks like just another lego piece will be electrified now. Each notch in the board will conduct electricity and as you connect and arrange Legos they’ll start moving and interacting with each other.

Most of you will agree when I say that it is the elderly people who need cell phones at max and they are the only ones who usually face problem when operating the cumbersome cell phones.

If you also have one such grandpa or granny at your place, whom you want to be totally independent when home alone, then get home this new phone as it is out in the market.

With this phone at hand, remembering the tedious process of dialing that 9 digit long number will not be any issue as this phone does away with need of dialing. It comes with a bunch of RFID tagged badges, where in you can feed numbers and the corresponding photos.

And all they have to do is just place the badge of the concerned person on thebig call button at the center and push. The phone will read the RFID info and make the call. Don’t you think they’ll love it…yes they will.

Gadget safety on the move with Yelpie
Posted in Appliances, Misc. Gadgets on 22 October 2007

yelpie.jpg

I love flaunting the best of gadgets that I have, but at time more than flaunting them…caring about them takes the toll on my senses.

And this mostly happens when I am on a declared vacation on a beach or on sands or for that matter in a total seclusion. The threat of loosing my gold plated iphone to a bugger keeps me away from having fun to the hilt.

If this happens with you too, then here comes Yelpie to your rescue. This technological wonder is a safe kinda thingy wherein you can lock all your valuable gadgets and set the alarm. The motor driven locks takes care and a 90db motion alarm makes sure that no one removes the Yelpie from the place you kept it at.

In case you have a larger gadget like your Handy cam which cannot be placed inside, you can tie it with the strap available with the safe and go to have fun.

Price: $102.
