On Air: A Seriously Minimalist Watch from Tokyoflash

The just released (like 30 minutes ago!) Kisai On Air watch from Tokyoflash takes minimalism to a whole new level. It’s a touchscreen digital watch with only one simple digital hand. The digital numbers on the watch are the minutes and they move around the clock face lining up to where the hour hand would [...]

The Audio Bulb from GiiNii

I always like reviewing GiiNii’s products like their Digital Picture Frames. I was very pleased to try out one of their most awesome products, the Audio Bulb.

SofShell for the iPad 2 from Sofproducts

I have reviewed a lot of covers made for the back of the iPad like Bracketron’s Back-iT and the AViiQ Smart Case, and this SofShell by Sofproducts falls under that product category. As its name implies, the SofShell goes for a soft rubber feel rather than a hard plastic or metal shell. It also has [...]

Fast-charging Battery Phone Case From NTT DoCoMo

NTT DoCoMo has unveiled the prototype of super-fast rechargeable battery phone case at CEATEC 2011.

As a comparison, Toshiba’s Super Charge Ion Battery needs only 5 minutes of [...]
