Samsung i85 shoots and entertains
While most digital cameras perform their duties in an exemplary manner, how many of them will be able to keep you occupied while waiting for a bus? The Samsung i85 does not only capture images in 8 megapixel glory, it also boasts an integrated MP3 player and portable media player functions. Some of the specifications include a 3″ LCD touchscreen, a 5x optical zoom lens, and the Intelligent Face Recognition Technology for sharper looking portrait shots. 450MB of internal memory helps store the pre-loaded Tour Guide function that offers travel information that covers 2,600 regions across 30 countries. Sounds like a pretty feature-packed camera - having GPS connectivity would be icing on the cake. The Samsung i85 will retail for £229 when it is released at the end of next month.

It not only hurts whoever is on the receiving end of this Pink Taser, but it also pains the eyes of whoever looks at it. Everything else about this C2 self-defense device is the same, save for the pink exterior. It has a maximum working range of 15 feet, dispensing uip to 50,000 volts that are more than capable of penetrating up to two inches of clothing. I guess no matter how many tattoos you have on your body, even a fully matured Hell’s Angel won’t be able to withstand the power of the C2 Taser. Especially in pink. The next thing you know, future iterations will project rainbow colored flowers and the ilk.
Carrying an umbrella isn’t exactly the most manly thing to do, but when it pours cats and dogs, you’ll be the one having the last laugh. Ambient Devices have come up with the Ambient Umbrella which receives weather data from Accuweather.com, letting you know whether there is some rain up the horizon or not within the next 12 hours. Should rain be imminent, the handle will illuminate as a signal. The more intense the flashing is, the heavier the rain will be. Other than predict the weather, the Ambient Umbrella comes with a “gust buster” dual canopy design to prevent you from being dragged away by your umbrella in a storm. A single C-cell battery can last up to a year. The Ambient Umbrella retails for $125 and is more of an unncessary luxury than anything else.
Both the first and second generation of iPod Shuffles have already spawned their fair share of clones, and the Rockit! Mini player is the latest in a long line. It doesn’t take the low-end route by offering a mere 1GB memory though, instead it boasts a minimum of 2GB and 4GB on the other end of the spectrum. Everything looks just about identical with Apple’s offering and is compatible with MP3, WAV, and WMA files although it won’t touch Ogg Vorbis or AAC with a 10-foot pole. The 2GB and 4GB versions will retail for a very affordable $50 and $80, and each purchase comes with a pair of headphones, a wall charger, and a USB cable. Do you mind picking up a clone as long as you can get your audio fix, or do you prefer to uphold brand loyalty and a righteous purchase?
How many of you tote around your iPods whenever you head out of the home? While most of us place it in a belt clip or pocket, the Voltage iPod Bags make it more convenient by boasting stitched-in control panels that lets you control your iPod remotely without having to search for the iPod first. Each Voltage iPod Bag comes with a zipped docking section and the necessary connectors to hook up your iPod to an exterior control panel. The controllers were very well designed, giving great tactile feedback so you’ll know that you have already pressed a button or not. In addition, the Voltage iPod Bag can also keep your 15.4″ notebook safe from unwanted knocks during traveling. The Voltage iPod Bag retails for £59.95 each.
Blood oxygen saturation levels, that is. The Oxycheck device does it in a painless and fast manner, measuring your blood oxygen saturation levels and heart pulse rate in an instant without resorting to invasive measures. All you need to do is place your finger underneath the Oxycheck, press the “On” button and wait for a few seconds for the reading to appear on its LCD display. Apparently larger versions of this device are already in use throughout thousands of hospitals, so why not save yourself money in the long run by picking this up for $139.95? Choose from black or white colors.
Make counting fun again (for kids anyway) with the Robot Calculator. Not only do you get easy-to-use buttons that are a joy to punch in numbers, while the LCD display makes it a snap to read whatever numbers that are on it. Should the 1.5V battery fail you, there is always the solar cell as a backup. The Robot Calculator retails for $8.99 and is suitable for young ones as you would look rather ridiculous using this behind your mahogany desk. Just make sure your calculations do not go beyond eight digits as that is the limit of what the LCD can display. Guess you can’t use this to broker a $100 million deal.
