Venzero to unveil LINQ
Venzero has another new portable media player that will be unleashed upon the world at IFA 2007, known as the LINQ. The name itself tells just as much - you can expect WiFi connectivity to come with the LINQ so that you can tune in to Internet radio stations for free in the vicinity of a hotspot. Alternatively, you can always use the LINQ to stream music from your computer - great if you’re constipated and need some soothing tunes to shift that log with plenty of time to kill. The Venzero LINQ features 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, a 2.4″ TFT 262k color display, an FM tuner, and voice recording capability. It will retail for $199 when released next month.

Bring some cool to diabetic patients with the Charmr concept device which is essentially an amalgamation of an insulin pump and monitor in a single device. Not only does it make delivery of insulin much easier, diabetics will be able to enjoy an aesthetically pleasing experience instead of the bulky and uncomfortable solutions of yore. The Charmr does away with test kits and finger pricking to test one’s blood since the user is constantly being monitored to be aware of his/her blood sugar levels. Take note that the Charmr is still a starting point and there are plenty more angles to consider such as the size of the insulin reservoir, battery life, and pump size before a final, commercially viable version is released.
The Lightning GT is no ordinary car - this is an electric car that takes approximately the same amount of time to charge up as it takes to fill up a gas tank. When fully juiced up, it will be able to travel a distance of 250 miles courtesy of Nanosafe technology that powers it. Underneath the hood, the Lightning GT’s will be able to generate a monstrous 700hp and accelerate from a standing stop to 60mph in less than four seconds (!) and has a top speed of 130mph, officially making this the fastest electric car at the moment. Since there is no engine involved, you will definitely save on servicing the car in the long run. Too bad you have to cough up $300,000 for one of these first.
Fancy a little something to spruce up your workspace? the Britz Rosetta speakers ought to do the trick without breaking the bank, although I wouldn’t place my money on it producing audiophile-pleasing sounds. Coming in a 2.1 configuration, you get a couple of satellite towers and a downward-firing amplified subwoofer. There is a cool red LED illumination throughout that makes it stand apart from other competitors in the same class, but that is only speaking from the terms of aesthetics. You get virtual surround sound technology (which is pretty ho-hum and will never measure up to the real thing) with the Britz Rosetta. You can pick up the entire set for approximately $90 after conversion from Korean Won. The only problem would be getting the rest of your pad to match it…
TomTom is bringing the 2nd Edition of its waterproof RIDER GPS navigation system, ensuring those who ride bikes and have an atrocious sense of direction will still be able to arrive at their destination safe and sound even in unfamiliar territory. A newly designed power button adds a touch of class to the RIDER, and the rugged “RAM” mount ensures a handsome fit across virtually any motorcycle, being capable of withstanding even the most rigorous conditions associated with riding. The inclusion of the Cardo scala-rider Bluetooth headset ensures you can concentrate on the road while holding a conversation, and with noise cancellation performance, you will be able to hear directions and carry on talking in clarity without missing a word.
As a parent, you will probably worry about where your kids actually are all the time. Trutex could help alleviate some of that stress and worry by throwing in GPS tracking devices into its clothing range, making it nigh impossible for anyone wearing this to lie about where they have been while getting away with it. Which teenager would actually willingly wear one of these knowing that mom and dad are scrutinizing his/her every move? I suppose to get around this is pretty easy - just bring a change of clothes and jump into them after school, packing your GPS-enhanced uniform in the school locker.
