Takara Tomy Air Filter Kawaii Attack!

Before you get too excited, these aren’t a couple of aliens from outer space. But yes, they do come from the land where anything out of the box is mundane and ordinary — Japan. Feast your eyes on the Takara Tomy Air Filter. These critter-like pastel-colored gadgets were specifically made for babies — so pardon […]

PS3 News: The Eye and The Rumble

 
From cute microwavable teddy bears, let’s move on to PlayStation 3 updates. Last September, Sony released the wireless DUALSHOCK(R)3 controller for PlayStation 3 in Japan. The US and the rest of the world would be seeing the controller on the Spring of 2008. I know, it’s a long wait, but the Japanese have always had […]

Microwavable Teddy Bear?!

Uhu, you heard that right. I know, it’s weird isn’t it? I did a double-take when I saw it. A teddy bear which goes in the microwave — it made me smile. This smokin’ (well hopefully, “smokin’” in a good way, not because it’s literally burning) teddy bear is called the “Hot Beddy Bear.” […]

Round LCD Market Invasion

 
Do you remember my post on round LCDs? Well, if not, head on over and read it because Toshiba Matsushita Designs has come up with a myriad (well not exactly) of round LCD products. The new product prototypes are made to demonstrate the potential of round LCDs in the market. The products were presented at […]

The Chumby Whumby

 
First off, when I first saw this, I thought I was looking as a toy computer (which it probably is). The Chumby is a small clock and internet device, perhaps for those who can’t get enough of the web. Think about it this way — you put the Chumby by your bedside as an alarm […]

HDMS-S1D digital photo album by Sony

Precious memories collected as photos could be glorified with the new HDMS-S1D digital photo album by Sony. You don’t have to stick printed photos in a lousy old-fashioned photo album anymore. No more cheesy days flicking through old photo albums. Not when this new Sony baby has come out. Basically it’s one big and […]

The World is Round — So Is The New Toshiba Matsushita LCD

Ah…it’s been a more than a thousand years since Aristotle and his buddies talked about the world being round. And come to think about it, most natural things on earth come with rounded shapes and many are not just rounded but really circle like oranges. So I don’t see why humans can’t develop a circular […]

My Name is Kitty, Hello Kitty

I don’t know what’s wrong with me (or is it what’s wrong with the world?), but I’m taken by cute gadgets recently. I can’t help it! Just take a look at this new Hello Kitty phone. I know, I know, I’ve seen my share of Hello Kitty phones before. But I have never come […]

Newsflash: Darth Vader Reduced Into a Mere Flashlight

I never thought I’d see this day come. From the time I watched cool ol’ Darth breathing through his mask like an old man with very bad asthma I knew I was doomed to be a fan for life. But then episodes I, II and III came and cool ol’ Darth looked so much like […]

Sony’s Rolly (Polly???)

 
My first thought when I saw its picture was how cute this gadget is! Isn’t it a cutie? But I bet you won’t know what it is at first glance. Right? It just looks like a preschooler’s plaything but it’s actually an mp3 player. Surprised? I bet not. We’re all used to Sony’s many interesting […]
