Coolhunt 5 Web 2.0: Fully Loaded Cell Phone Watch

Bron: http://www.smashinggadgets.com/category/electronic-gadgets/

This powerful new Cell Phone Watch gadget is surely a collector’s item. Its got all the functions of a normal cell phone put into a small, simple platform-a wrist watch. The fully loaded cell phone watch features a 1.3-inch touchscreen display, a 1.3MP digital camera , MP3/MP4 playback, 2GB microSD card support and Bluetooth. All this and you would think that it would be too big for ur arm; but the cell phone wrist watch is only 65×45×18 mm in dimension and wieghs only 56 gms.

The cell phone watch has an A2DP bluetooth system with a bluetooth headset so u dont have to connect it directly to the watch. It also has GPRS, so you can surf the net or download while on the move. The switches are neatly placed and the camera faces outward which is very convenient while recording a video or clicking a picture. The package also includes a stylus, charger for the watch, charger for the bluetooth headset, user manual and a data transfer cable.

The cell phone watch is on sale for $155 wholesale price. Expect it to cost around $160-$170, which is not so expensive considering the number of apps it has and the ease with which all that can be used.

Cool
Toekomstpotentieel omdat men nu altijd en overal kan downloaden en in contact kan komen met hun vrienden. Aantrekkelijk omdat je nu alles in een hebt om je arm: geen grote iPhone meer in je zak maar gewoon een klikje op je horloge. Het is inspirerend om te zien hoe je zo veel functies in een dergelijk kleine gadget kunt proppen.

Coolhunt 4 Web 2.0: The Yeti from Blue Microphones

I’ve tried out many Blue Microphones products before, such as the Eyeball and the Mikey.

This time, I got a chance to try out the Yeti, also known as “the ultimate professional USB microphone”. Yes, that is a big claim, but it helps to have THX Certification.

It has four different ways of recording. The first is Cardioid, that is perfect for picking up solo vocals. The next is Bidirectional, when the Yeti picks up sound at the front or the rear of the mic. The last is Omnidirectional that can pick up sound in all directions.

Just to let you know, I had a somewhat difficult time with the setup of this guy. I had it plugged in, and then set up some recording on a Voice Recorder app. It seemed to register as sound, but I couldn’t get it on the playback.

It worked when I put the sound file on the Windows Media Player, and I heard it as clear as day. The sound was quite good, and there is some serious good sound coming forth.

Last time I checked, the Yeti from Blue Microphones was available from places like Amazon for about $149.00. It appears to be made for the professional and home user for all kinds of transmissions.

Cool
Ik vind dit een coole gadget omdat het erg praktisch is. Steeds meer mensen bellen en chatten via internet: toekomstpotentieel. Goed geluid is nog altijd niet zo gewoon bij dergelijke gesprekken. Vaak is de achtergrondmuziek of het omgevingsgeluid erg storend. Daar heeft deze microfoon een oplossing voor: je kunt zelf kiezen welk geluid de microfoon opvangt: alleen van voor of overal. Ik vind het inspirerend dat een dergelijke eenvoudige oplossing iets zo veel beter kan maken. Daarnaast is de microfoon ook nog eens aantrekkelijk vormgegeven.
