Palm might have been successful half a decade ago, but with the Palm OS dying a slow and sure death along with a lack of imagination and innovation in their hardware, many people are wondering just how much longer Palm can last in the corporate world. There are currently rumors floating around concerning Palm’s latest effort that will converge functions of a computer, smartphone, iPod, and PDA. Sounds pretty much like an Utopian thought to me even until today as there will be many issues to grapple with, ranging from price to battery life for starters. What do you think this 3rd pillar device from Palm will be? Heck, I remember Nintendo being caution and calling the DS a 3rd pillar in its operations just in case things go awry. See where the DS is today?

GPS units tend to pack more and more features including contacts, music and video but with the C220, Mio chooses a different strategy and creates a GPS unit that is very good at GPS navigation at a very affordable price. The look of the Mio C220 will blend with most car interior as it is fairly neutral. It has a decent display, which makes the maps quite readable. Although much cheaper than its older siblings this model is powered by a similar hardware (400Mhz processor) and provides the *same navigation experience* than the Mio C310x (Read Review) or the Mio H610.

This tiny device (roughly the size of a USB flash drive) fits into your pocket and will be able to inform you of any hidden wireless cameras within the vicinity, giving you the excuse to retreat into your foxhole and away from prying digital eyes.

Mustek has taken the wisdom of not reinventing the wheel by unveiling the Mustek DMS-100D, essentially enabling you to stream TV and video content over to a PDA, notebook, or even cellphone from virtually anywhere in the world. One wonders why would Mustek release a device that does the exact same thing as the wildly successful Slingbox, but if the price is a whole lot easier to swallow, would you make the switch? After all, consumers are always on the lookout for the best bang for their buck.

Waking up in the morning by your own alarm clock is bad enough, but to listen to someone else’s alarm a full hour before your designated boot, er, wake up time is certainly not desirable. The Earlarm is a small device that fits over your ear, blasting away when you’re supposed to get up without disturbing the other people sharing the same room as you. Great for dorms or those with spouses who have different working times. The Earlarm retails for $14.99 and could be well worth a look.

The Inada W.1 Massage Chair claims to be different from the array of massage chairs that are available in the market, as it is able to synchronize the massage with audio generated from a home entertainment system. Personally, I think Osim has already come out with their own iSymphony range of massage chairs that already has this function. Booting up the Inada W.1 Massage Chair will cause the integrated infrared sensors to detect the main pressure points on an individual for a more precise massage experience. Each purchase comes with an amplifier unit and a speaker heat rest, where the massage will be keyed to audio within the bass range. I suppose listening to trance or rave music will certainly result in a truly gripping experience! The bass and treble levels can be adjusted, so rock fans need not come out worse for the wear. Pricing details are still unavailable.

Apiotek has recently unveiled the Quad USB 2.0 ExpressCard/34 card for notebooks that have an idle ExpressCard slot sitting around. As more and more gadgets and peripherals are USB-based, it makes perfect sense to take full advantage of the vacant ExpressCard slot with this Quad USB 2.0 hub. The Apiotek offering comes with two rows of a couple of USB 2.0 ports each, complete with a side jack for a power adapter. Strangely enough, the power adapter is not included and must be purchased separately. Just plug in low-power consumption devices as an AC adapter isn’t always the easiest thing to find, especially when you’re on the go.

If you’re a health and fitness freak, you’d better keep your fingers crossed that this Health Conscious Tracking Phone concept will be realized none the sooner. This handset is capable of tracking the user’s health via nutrition and fitness details, thanks to the eNose technology that “smells” and recognizes certain foods through their respective chemical signatures. This collected data will then be analyzed, where you will be informed of whether any food groups are missing from your diet or not. Designed by Kristina Lee, I’d say the form factor certainly needs a whole lot more work before I stuff an avocado down my pants pocket.
