Toshiba Libretto W100 Dual-Screen Tablet Now Officially For Sale

I’m still not sure exactly what to make of the Libretto W100, Toshiba’s dual-screen Windows 7 tablet. But if you’re the curious type, you can buy one now for $1,100.

That price still seems a little steep, given the specs—-1.2 GHz Pentium U5400 processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 62GB SSD, a USB port and a microSD slot—and the unclear use cases. But there’s no questioning that it’s one unique little gadget.

The W100 is a limited release for now, and you’re looking at a two to three week wait from order to delivery. Plenty of time to figure out what you’re going to use it for.

This Hair Dryer Has a Ferrari Engine Inside

This Hair Dryer Has a Ferrari Engine InsideThe 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.

Oh Nothing, Just Riding Around On My Hubless Bicycle

August 15, 2010 Gadget No Comments

Sure, hubless bicycles aren’t exactly new, but it just trips me out seeing a guy riding his hubless bicycle around. It’s like watching something that’s not supposed to happen, happen.

This spokeless bike, called the Lunartic Cycle, has a toothed belt drive and a large back wheel for speed and stability and a smaller front wheel for better maneuverability. It was designed by Luke Douglas and is an entry for the James Dyson Awards.
