The Olympus Japanese website now has descriptions of the Stylus camera series that will be released here in April. One of the most notable cameras in this line is the 720SW, which is waterproof to ten feet and shock-proof to five. There is a series of photos on the website that feature the 720SW in rugged conditions like sand, mud, water, and basketball courts. Overall it looks like a pretty solid camera that would be a worthy choice for people who take pictures in harsh conditions. Yes, people just like that old guy in your neighborhood who hangs around in the brush outside the window of the Jazzercise gym.
Fido Luggage is a new suitcase concept from designer Peter Yeadon that follows its owner throughout an airport or train station. Using four individually controlled wheels, electronic sensors, and voice commands, Fido Luggage will hopefully avoid trampling children while keeping up with your brisk pace. This idea is totally feasible because no one in an airport would find an autonomous electric box suspicious, and the hidden electronics will only help ease us through airport security. It's still a concept, though, so they won't be able to tell you how much damage it will take when your drunken roommate decides to ride it down your steps.
With all the cool rabbit-like things that you can pull from your hat to impress the ladies, why would you choose a discontinued mp3 player? Well, it appears that Pakatun assumed that the iPod Shuffle's low-end reign would never end, and now we have to pay the price with an onslaught of Shuffle Beanies. The beanies come in multiple colors, keep your ears reasonably warm and music-filled, and cost $22.00. That's a small price to pay to let the world know that you just can't seem to let go of the mediocre things in your life. Speaking of which: Sheila, if you're out there, can you call me?
Seiko Instruments has announced a new Bluetooth enabled watch that can link up with your cell phone. The BT Watch allows you to remotely adjust the volume of your phone's ringtone, view email and SMS message alerts, and see the name and number of the people who call you. It will also be great way to show people on the bus just how many times your mother can call you in a ten minute span. As you can see in the video, this watch is huge. Why don't you just tape your phone to your wrist instead? It will save you a lot of embarrassment.
Everyone has a dog. Everyone has their own personal airplanes. Everyone worries about their dog's hearing when they fly them around in their plane. Well, I'm here today to let Everyone know that they can breathe a sigh of relief. Mutt Muffs, whose name will be changed if the inventor ever learns basic slang, provide ear protection from the loud cockpit noises of your Cessna. Why stop there? Mutt Muffs will finally let you bring your dog to the handgun range and the front row of concerts! Mutt Muffs are currently shipping, but I say it's best to wait for the models with iPod support.
