Sharp has released a brand new 8″ LCD that could end up being installed in vehicles, featuring a luminescence of 500cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 2,500 to 1. Chances are you will see this used to display various gauges that we see on our dashboard today, as well as perform a digital readout of the vehicle’s current temperature, a digital speedometer with numbers (just like the Honda Civic), or information concerning which radio station you’re tuning in to at the moment. This Sharp LCD display could be the only dashboard one ever needs, so you’ll know where to refer to at a glance should you need to glean crucial information concerning your vehicle at that moment. One thing’s for sure - the number of electronics in vehicles are getting more and more complicated, it seems that each trip to the mechanic ends up with me parting more money than I used to.

If you plan to up the ante in terms of realism while trashing out a boxing match with your mate over the Nintendo Wii, perhaps this pair of inflatable gloves could do the job? All you need to do is strap on the Wiimote and Nunchuck controllers, inflate the gloves, and you’re good to go. Just try not to get carried away and end up punching your friend instead. They retail for less than $15, and look way less professional than this pair of gloves that we covered earlier this February. Hopefully this edition won’t block the infra red signal just like that version did. If your gaming skills don’t knock your opponent out, the garish blue color certainly will.

At long last, fuel cell technology has finally arrived for cellphones in the form of the 24/7 Power Pack charger from Medis Technologies. This first-generation charger claims to provide additional talktime on cellphones by up to 30 hours, 20 hours for smartphones and a whopping 80 hours of continuous playback for MP3 players like the iPod. The Power Pack is activated the moment you remove the tab, and is good for up to three months before a refill is required. You can pick one up for $25, while refill packs are slightly cheaper at $20. There are slimmer versions of the Power Pack in the pipeline, so things are looking up for frequent travelers who tote a whole bunch of gadgets with them.

Never mind the wife - the Robo Massage Chair is where all the action’s at, where massaging is concerned anyway. This unique massage chair goes one up on its competitors as it acts upon your voice commands, and the complex voice-activated system is good enough to accept an extensive set of voice commands. I guess we’ll be hearing a whole lot more “A little lower to the left - yes, that’s right. More pressure at the spine please…” once the Robo Massage Chair in installed in your home. Features include five pre-programmed, 15-minute massage sequences from head-to-toe which can be customized to save up to 20 massage preferences. Be prepared to spend a small fortune on this one though as it retails for $5,799.

The Infinity PS212W wireless subwoofer requires just a power source to get you going, helping you create the perfect audio ambience in your room without the hassle of running a pesky wire through the living room. All you need to do is hook up the 2.4GHz transmitter to the subwoofer jack located behind the receiver and you’re good to go.

RotoView’s “Tilt and Scroll” display navigation system for smartphones and other mobile gadgets have just had its European patent granted, making a RotoView-enabled smartphone a possibility sometime down the road. This user interface requires the user to tilt the device left-right or up-down in order to see beyond what is shown on the display, with the option to center the display anytime they like. You can even zoom in and out using this navigation system, and could bring about a revolution where handheld devices are concerned. How do you see this upcoming technology impact the way we use smartphones and other mobile devices?

Who knew that the humble umbrella could be as classy as the Davek SOLO Umbrella? This typical sun-and-rain shielding device boasts a WindFlex Frame System that comes with reinforced flexible carbon polymer ligaments and a solid steel shaft that makes it stand up against even the fiercest high winds. Heck, it sounds rigid enough to beat someone else into submission as well just in case you’re being assaulted. The microweave, 190 thread count nylon canopy and water-repellent coating keeps you dry while the nickel-plated zinc alloy handle comes with an integrated clip which can be attached to a bag or strap. This $95 brolly comes with a 3-action button system and unconditional lifetime guarantee, making this virtually the only umbrella you’ll ever need. Too bad it doesn’t surf the Internet.

The Visa Micro Tag key fob enables Visa cardholders to wave the device in front of a contactless payment terminal - this was made possible by embedding the payment device with the Visa payWave contactless technology feature. It can easily be attached to a key ring and was built to be small and durable, making payment for purchases faster, more secure and convenient since you no longer need to emboss or print your Visa account number on the device. Nice to see credit card companies find better and easier ways for us to spend our hard-earned money.

The Aptera might look pretty space age in terms of design, but surprisingly it will actually enter production. You can reserve yours today by dropping half a grand (refundable), and can expect to take one home within a year. The Aptera is said to seat 2 adults comfortably and can hit 60mph from a standing start in approximately 10 seconds, and features an electronically limited top speed of 95mph. Inside the car, everything looks pretty normal ranging from the airbags, rear view camera, GPS navigation, and CD/MP3/DVD player with XM. A solar assisted climate control system helps keep the Aptera’s interior cool, and you can choose from an All Electric or Plug-in Hybrid when it comes to the engine. The former will retail for $26,900 while the latter is slightly more expensive at $29,900, although it can achieve a mileage of 300 miles per gallon. Booking one today?
