Headplay Personal Cinema System - Image 1


Headplay is probably every couch potato's dream. Imagine a TV. Now imagine being able to take it anywhere and everywhere you go (except perhaps in the shower), and being able to watch movies or play games on it anytime you want. That's the concept for the new "Personal Cinema System" device, Headplay.

Headplay is a head-mounted device; basically, a TV you wear on your head. You can connect it to your gaming consoles, your DVD Player, your iPod, your PC, and maybe your Betamax player if it hasn't choked on dust yet. If it has a video out function, Headplay can most probably display it. You can also plug in a memory stick and Headplay can run the media files - movies, videos, and images - with its own built-in player.

Once you're behind the lenses of Headplay it's pretty easy to just relax and go dead to the world around you. It's nothing but you and the screen, with the stereo sounds blocking off everything else. It's like your own movie screen inside your living room.

HDfury: No HDCP HDMI? No worry!!! - Image 1What's this we have here? Another blot-on wonder boy looking to get smo-- (waitaminute... this isn't Most Wanted...)... Well, this is another bolt-on wonder boy we found being marketed: the HDFury Permanent HDCP Modification Kit.

Short version: this adapter screws on to the SUB-D HD15 input port of an RBG display - PC monitors, HDTVs, plasma or projectors - turns that display into an HDCP-compliant display. Name it: PS3, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, whenever Microsoft ever gets around to confirming the HDMI Xbox 360 (which is why we're putting it in the 360 site), if you ever get an HDMI-enabled PC graphics card, that sort of thing.

The manufacturers of HDfury claim it's all legal conversion, fully compliant with all HDCP rules, plug-and-play, and will deliver high quality RGB-output video from an HDCP HDMI source. As it bolts on to the display set it also requires no external power source. Suddenly, the issue of HDMI-less HD sets for the PS3 may no longer be an issue, if this thing works as advertised. Now, the only thing missing is an HDMI cable... The link below takes you to the product website.

You know, if this works, this ain't just no bolt-on wonder boy looking to get smoked. This is the smoke.

The 3-in-1 Pen!At one point or another, any of us may have gone through a day when you have that oh-so-important presentation to make. So you spent the better part of your morning trying to get properly dressed and practicing your speech in the mirror. You've dutifully stapled the hand-outs together and placed them into individual folders. Just as you were headed out the door, you then realize that you can't find your USB flash drive and you have to spend another fifteen minutes or so trying to hunt down the darn thing.

But thankfully, some bright individuals at Brando have decided that they wanted to make the world a better place and decided to take matters into their own hands.

Introducing one of the most useful office gadgets I have seen for a while, the 3-In-1 pen offers three indispensable things in the office environment: A laser pointer for presentations, a plug-and-play 512MB USB Flash Drive for your documents, and a fully-functioning pen! All in one elegant package. The 3-in-1 Pen!

It looks just like an ordinary pen, but unscrewing the first section reveals the USB part, while a small, silver button near the top activates the laser pointer which is powered by a couple of CR1220 batteries. This lovely thins also weighs a mere 1.6 ounces and retails for $27.

Not only does this gadget save you from the bother of having multiple gadgets jingling around in your pockets all day, but it also makes you seem cooler than the rest of the people in your office. Now, if only they're decided to add a stapler and a coffee stirrer to the thing...

D2 DirectorWith the entry of Numark's iDJ2, gone were the days of old school DJ-ing where you have to actually spin vinyl records on a Technics SL1200. But if you think the iPod-compatible toy is high-tech enough, wait till you meet the new Numark baby D2 (pronounced D-squared) Director.

D2 features one oversized LCD display that shows waveforms and playlists. Its plug-and-play design will allow aspiring DJs to search for music on any USB mass storage device (that you can attach on either the front or back USB ports) and add them to a single master playlist.

Since Numark's D2 Director aims to simplify the DJ performance experience, there's a new graphic user interface that has real-time visuals of track profiles and waveforms. Effects, song management, and hard drive management can be easily controlled through the six soft touch buttons around the display. A USB keyboard can also be easily attached to D"2" Director for a simplified song search.

Supporting MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and AAC formats, D2 Director is considered to be a bargain at $799.

ppups


Think you've seen the coolest USB device ever? We think again because this is IT! It's the plug-and-play USB Ultrasound Probe by Direct Medical Systems. The plug and play ultrasound probe system (Ppups) is a complete ultrasound imaging system built into a small USB-compatible probe for B-mode imaging. The probe captures images and sends them to a PC or laptop for processing. The Ppups comes in 3.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 12MHz for the most common ultrasound applications.

"Once FDA approval comes in the fourth quarter of this year the possibility for uses of the Ppups are endless, third world countries, ambulances, military, OBGYN, urology, dermatology, you name it," Mark Falkowski, President & CEO of Direct Medical Systems states. "This ultrasound can go anywhere and for a price anyone can afford."

The probe is priced at under $3,700. If only I could afford that thing we'd have lovely images of places where the sun don't shine posted with this article.
