APad – China iPad


APad – China iPad

     Meet the APad the Chinese clone of the Apple iPad and it does not run some dumb piece of software like Chinese clones .  In fact the reason it’s called APad is because it runs on Android OS.   The success of the Apple iPad might speed up the production look alike tablet devices and the APad looks too good to be true.  Looks like they are looking to capitalize on the flaws of the iPad by providing a Webcam ,  USB port , Memory Card slot etc.We hope its just not a mockup but a real product

Asus unveils new EeeKeyboard PC


     Asus has rolled out (at long last, after numerous delays) its EeeKeyboard PC — this is a fully-functional PC that looks like your standard keyboard at first glanced, but you will be pleasantly surprised to know that there is a svelte and stylish keyboard concealed within. It has been a long time in coming, having been first unveiled at CES back in 2009, taking its own sweet time to hit the streets. Tipping the scales at a mere 1kg, the EeeKeyboard PC is capable of functioning with virtually any HDTV, monitor, or projector in order for it to function as a full-fledged PC. Users will be able to enjoy a wireless computing platform via the EeeKeyboard PC thanks to its Ultra-wideband (UWB) Wireless Display connectivity that lets you stream HD 720p videos up to a 5-meter range, while hitting a maximum 10-meter range where non-video transfers are concerned. Apart from that, you also get a built-in 5″ multi-touch panel that offers users with an interactive and intuitive means of directing the on-screen cursor to launch programs, send instant messages, and control its media player.

Soulra Solar Powered iPod Speaker


Soulra Solar Powered iPod Speaker

     If you have a bright sunny day, it might be nice to take your music along with you when you’re out enjoying the day.  This particular iPod speaker won’t require you to carry around any spare batteries, since it pulls all of the juice it needs straight from the sun.  Of course it’s not waterproof, so should you see clouds forming you might want to run the speaker someplace dry.
      The dock will play your iPod for up to 7 hours continuously for every full charge it receives.  Now they don’t say quite how long it will take for this to charge up again, but with a solar panel of that size hopefully it won’t be too shabby.  Although it’s not waterproof, it is actually water-resistant, so should it get a few splashes at the pool it’ll keep on playing.  When you purchase this you’ll also receive a remote control to keep control at a distance.  You can purchase it for $200 through Frontgate.
