Tqualizer with a graphic equalizer on your t-shirt

Forget about having wearable computers. This is much hippier. Check out Tqualizer, the t-shirt that is a graphic equalizer, just like the one on your stereo. It flashes to the beat of any music, its fun, innovative, and was featured on the Ellen Degeneres show last week. Its powered by a battery pack that fits into a pocket inside the shirt or behind your back. It goes for $39. Now’s the time to look geeky and cool at that rave party.

Thanks to Michael, the Director of Operations for FlashTech Canada for this tip.

The Citizen W700 Bluetooth

The Citizen W700 Bluetooth looks pretty plain according to the website that I found it on..I guess they are right. It does not looks fashionable and kinda cheesy….It only does 3 things :

1. Call alert via vibration
2. Caller ID on its LED
3. Alerts you if your phone gets too far from you. So that you don’t misplace it.

Other than that, I would buy this crap watch. I’ll stick to my sexy Seiko anyday, thanks…

The Citizen W700 Bluetooth simply looks too plain for you to show off to your friends. Its plain looking simply reminds me some of the watches that kids always got from their moms, which moms got it as gifts from buying cooking oils. The watch does a little good for those who always wears a wrist watch. No matter you’re too lazy to take out your phone from your pocket or just simply leave it in your drawer, then you can just look at this watch on your wrist for any incoming calls.

This watch is different from the Aussie wrist watch that we’ve seen before. By itself, it cannot make calls. It’s got only Bluetooth functionality for connecting to your cellphone to give you call alerts by vibration. It tells you who’s calling by your cellphone’s caller ID. It will also let you know if you’re away too far from your cellphone. Perhaps, this is another good, which you don’t tend to forget/misplace your phone. It can be charged wirelessly. When fully charged, its battery life can last about 5 days. Available in mid-March (in Japan at least), but no price info yet

petFINDER Pet ID Tag for lost pets

With the prevalence of dog nappers around, it would be a good idea to tag your dogs or pets just in case people stumble upon them in the streets. The dog catchers will send them straight to the pound if they ain’t got a tag and your pet won’t like that.

With petFINDER the pet owner calls a toll free-number and programs in pertinent pet information: pet’s name, up to 3 phone numbers so owner will be reachable 24/7, and any vital concerns. Tag is secured to pet’s collar. When the pet is found, the Good Samaritan simply pulls out their cell-phone and calls the toll-free number on the petFINDER tag, enters the ID on the
tag, and voila–owners pick up on the first ring and pet returned home. No computer access is required. Of course, the collar must be secured, because lost collar = lost tag, a reason to strongly consider pairing the ID tag with the embedded micro-chip

Sony Aibo Can Blog

Is this the end of humans ? Even Sony’s new AIBO can do blogging apart from reading the news from RSS feeds. Now that’s cool. I don’t need my wife to do that anymore. (just joking)

Sony’s robotic pup Aibo gives new meaning to the term newshound. In its latest evolution Aibo ERS-7M3/T has the ability for short-term memory mapping and news reads through a version of web syndication– RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds. “With one simple voice command Aibo can read the morning’s headline news while its owner folds the laundry,” said Toshi Kawai, senior manager of Entertainment Robot America (ERA), a division of Sony Electronics in a prepared statement. The AIBO Net News reader capability enables the robot to read its owner news or weather from a choice of RSS feeds available on many websites.

Puppy also comes loaded with the AIBO Diary in case owners want to know what he is up to while they are out of the house. Aibo can take pictures and add notes on its daily activities to its diary. (Yes but what if he’s lying?) The diary can be shared by uploading entries directly to a blog site. The dog has its own blog now.

Slim and Lite PSPs get Skype calls

Sony wants Gamers to be able to use Skype in its latest update for PSPs. The full Skype system will allow gamers full PSP to PSP calls, PSP to PC calls and PSP to normal phone calls as long as there is credits. Owners who own the old version will frown as PSP Skype is only compatible with the newer Slim and Lite PSP 2000 series.

As we suspected, the arrival of Skype heralds a new peripheral, which Sony was demonstrating a prototype of. The new headset has a tiny boom mic and the ear pieces fit over the ear rather than in the ear like the normal set of buds. The new headset will be arriving at the same time as the firmware update and the Sony rep informed me that there is actually nothing stopping third party peripheral manufacturers from making their own Skype PSP headsets at the same time.
