Innpu offers first wired cell phone in the world

When you mention cell phone, what is the first image that comes in to your mind? Most of us would think of snazzy iPhones as well as the ever more popular Android-powered handsets, not to mention those living in developing countries with their Nokias. Innpu bucks the trend this time round by offering a wired handset that they call a cell phone as well, making us wonder in amazement as to a seeming regression in terms of technological advancement in this day and age. What’s so special about this wired cell phone, you ask? Well, it is the the of its kind in the world that comes with built-in retractable headphones. Whenever you receive a phone call, all you need to do is pull out the built-in headphone line and start yakking away. Of course, whenever the call is done and over with, the headset and headphones will automatically retract – now how cool is that? This mechanism was thrown into the mix because Innpu wants to reduce the risk of cell phone radiation to the user’s head, while freeing up both hands of the user at the same time. … Continue Reading

Perfect Portion Scale

Part of a healthy diet often involves eating just the right portions, but for most of us who aren’t too scientifically inclined, how do we carve out the correct amount to put into our mouths on a daily basis? Well, the Perfect Portions Scale hopes to help, functioning as your in-house Nutrition 101 device. This is a combination device that brings together a food scale as well as a nutritional calculator, featuring an integrated database of 1,999 different foods alongside the added ability to hold another 99 custom entries – perfect just as well, since different countries have different, quirky foods which isn’t available universally. All you need to do is zero the scale, drop down your food and press in the correct food code for the scale to have an idea on what it is measuring. When its processor does the job, all nutritional stats alongside the total weight will be shown on an LCD display which looks just like the Nutrition Facts labels available on today’s food packaging. For $59.99 a pop, it sure does sound like a good and affordable investment.

This Hair Dryer Has a Ferrari Engine Inside

The new Conair BaByliss Pro Volare hairdryer packs an “engine” built with Ferrari’s team using real Ferrari parts. I’m just hoping that if I use the Volare my hair will ooze Italian sex appeal.

Apparently, the Volare is the first hair dryer to use a ball bearing design, which is supposed to keep things running smooth. It’s extremely lightweight, comes in Ferrari red (natch) or black and has a turbo button to boost airspeed. Its Ferrari designed AC V12 Engine packs 2,200 watts of power, can reach airspeeds of 80mph and can last for up to 2,000 hours. I’m no hairdrying expert, but those are some big numbers (typical hairdryers last 500 hours).

It’s expensive, retailing at around $400, but it’s way more affordable than a Ferrari. And if I can get a Ferrari attached to my name for $400, I might have to buy one.

Kitchen Scale Wall Clock

This wall clock may appear to be nothing more than a very retro looking wall clock that attempts to mimic the look of a record. In reality this kitchen clock does double duty. As well as letting you know the time, this thing also can weigh things while you’re cooking in the kitchen. That way you have it handy for those particular recipes that give weights instead of cups or numbers of items.

Sure, it’s more accurate to have someone measure by weight, but I always hate cluttering up my cabinets with one more kitchen gadget. Thankfully this can hang on the wall, keeping you from going on gadget overload when it comes to the kitchen. You can purchase the scale for £23.99 or about $36 through LazyBone UK.

KlearKase protects Kindle from water

It seems as if every gadget you can possibly purchase has some sort of a case to protect the gadget from water. Now even Kindle is jumping on that bandwagon. Instead of taking a book with you to the beach, you can slip this case on your very own Kindle and read what you prefer right on your favorite gadget without having to worry about damaging it.

The polycarbonate case only weighs 6 ounces, which isn’t too shabby. The case is completely clear, so you’ll get to see all of your Kindle without too much getting in your way. The case is also pretty affordable for those of you on a tight budget. Right now it’s priced at $39.99, which is far less than it would cost to replace your Kindle after you manage to get it wet. Although keep in mind you shouldn’t dunk this under the water completely since it’s just splash proof instead of waterproof.
