OWLE Bubo ready to pre-order

Image
It has been a while since we covered the OWLE , a device made to harness the video capturing abilities of the iPhone 3GS. Back then, the OWLE (Optical Widgets for Life Enhancement) was in a concept stage, but the OWLE Bubo is ready for pre-order. The Bubo has a hotshoe mount with LED lights, with four tripod mounts. It has a standard 37mm lens that is threaded so you can put other lenses on it, besides the one that the Bubo already comes with. I believe that it also comes with a front-facing microphone. So what are we looking at, some new way that video bloggers can gain better video footage? I certainly hope so. By the way, I think I know why they call it the Bubo. Anyone remember the 1981 Ray Harryhausen Greek myth film Clash of the Titans ? Yes, Bubo was the name of the mechanical owl that Athena gave to Perseus to aid him on his quest. I guess someone wanted an R2D2 character in their classical Greek movie adaptation. Anyway, this OWLE has been on quite a quest since its ...

Juicy Couture releases portable USB keyboard

Image
Guys, if you ever wanted to buy your female significant other an electronic device as a gift, this is the one you’d be most likely to get away with. First I’d make sure that they aren’t anti-pink though. This keyboard not only has a very feminine look through the bubblegum pink color and the the pretty lettering, but it also is a Juicy Couture product. Giving them a chance to flaunt their female side and show off their love of brand name products. Normally I’m really not all that fond of pink electronics or wearing anything Juicy Couture, but for some unknown reason I find this keyboard charming and even fun. The flexible rubber USB keyboard is built for easy transport. Just roll it up and pack it away, you won’t have to worry about this breaking. The only two things I really wish I could change is that it’d be nice to have the option to choose a different color and, of course, the price. No, $45 isn’t too bad, but it would be nice if it was just a little cheaper.

LG enV Touch VX11000

Image
Just after introducing the Voyager in 2007, the manufacturers have come up with LG enV Touch VX11000 – a non-smartphone incorporating a full touch-sensitive display, along with internal QWERTY keyboard. The proposed name “Voyager 2” was retired, as this new model has notable improvements such as – two large 3” WVGA displays; improved user interface; quality of calls; and 3 megapixels autofocus camera. At the very first look of it, you can easily identify that this new handset is an upgrade from the Voyager, though both have many similar characteristics in design – clamshell form-factor with 2-stop hinges. Unlike the Voyager, the display takes more space in the front; pewter chrome accents surrounding and not shiny and reflective as the mirror chrome. The soft-touch coating remains still in the backside. The size of the handset is - 4.52 x 2.16 x 0.66 inches (115 x 55 x 17 mm). The external 3 inches resistive touchscreen display is quite impressive, which has WVGA 800 x 480 pixel resol...
