SONY UX90

The all new Type-U series, Sony UX90, is the world smallest and lightest ultra portable PC ever made. With the small package, Sony U delivers uncompromised performance by featuring latest Intel processor (both Celeron and Intel Core Solo). It is also the first ultra portable (UMPC) that carries Windows Vista Compatibility logo (the next generation operating system from Microsoft)
Here are a quick glance of what Sony UX90 / Sony UX50 offers: Core Solo 1.2Ghz, 512 DD2 Memory, up to 30G Hard Drive, 4.5 inches screen running 1024x600 resolution, and all in a small package of 1.15 lb! This is the ultimate always-carry-on machine. It is also featuring built-in web camera (Motion Eye) and slide out keyboard! Sony UX280 offers bigger hard drive (40G) and bigger memory (1G RAM). It also features built-in EDGE which allow you to have Internet anywhere!
For ultimate lightweight and mobile friendly, UX90 has the option to be Hard-drive-less. It gives option of 16G or 32G Solid State Drive (Flash drive) instead of regular hard drive. This means increase performance (almost twice as fast as regular hard drive) and better battery life! It also much lighter than the regular model which makes this unit even easier to carry around. It costs about 2000$


COMBIMOUSE

Their concept is quite simple: reduce the repetitive and arduous task of moving your hand from KEYBOARDto MOUSE and back again a few thousand times a day. They accomplish that by splitting the keyboard and making the right half into a full fledged mouse. Your merely switch up your grip and the mouse function automatically springs into action. You might look a bit dorky in the act, and it surely won't work for everybody, but it seems to us that a spreadsheet pusher could quickly get used to the setup and learn to rock it. The creators of the Combimouse have recently completed their final prototype and are on the lookout for a manufacturer. We'll keep you posted.


THE BINO-CAMERA


Yeah, this can only have noble uses. This I am absolutely sure of. From Korea comes a pair of Sun Photo binoculars with a 2 megapixel digital camera built-in. Why would you need a pair of binoculars with a digital camera? Perhaps all those birdies you're looking at just want their picture taken? Yeah, that must be it. The binoculars/camera feature a 8X zoom, a paltry 16MB of internal memory and an SD/MMC slot. While you're busy taking pictures of your helpless victims from afar, may I suggest a few other items to go along with your slow descent into madness, like the video spy glasses and the ever-popular rearview mirror sunglasses? The binoculars will retail for around $388 when they're released in Korea.



INTELLIGENT SPOON

This isn't as much an intelligent spoon as much as a spoon studded with sensors. We've got a thermometer, a pH sensor, a viscosity sensor, and salinity sensor, all designed to test and upload food data as you eat it. This is an MIT design project for use in recipes and formulas. For example, sticking an alcohol sensor on there would be perfect for wine and beer-making.
