			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might still remember that cool mini airplane that came with a pair of visors through which you can get live video feeds from the attached camera and control the plane. Nice indeed, but it’s still a plane and can’t perform sudden movements like what you’re about to see here. Meet the Dragonfly X6 RC vehicle!</p>
<p>The X6 mini flying vehicle has a triple-tipped carbon fiber body with two carbon rotors on each end. The ingenious design enables it to move in all directions and perform rapid movements. It can be easily controlled indoors, as well as resist up to 18 miles per hour of wind.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/draganfly_x6_overview_w606.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-921 aligncenter" title="draganfly_x6_overview_w606" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/draganfly_x6_overview_w606.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://gizmodo.com/">Gzmodo</a>, X6 also comes with a special oil-dampening mount that reduces vibrations and  can be loaded with several video-capturing devices, including an HD camera, night vision camera, still camera, low light camera or thermal imaging camera. The compact flyer also integrates a GPS device which displays the exact position on the remote control&#8217;s LCD.</p>
<p>The designers have made it possible for the X6 to keep on flying without much hassle even when one of its 6 motors stops working. The included battery can be charged in less than 30 minutes, but provides enough power in order to enable the X6 to climb 23 feet per second, make sudden 90 degrees turns or do fly-bys at 30 MPH.</p>
<p>For more info plus some demonstration clips, check out the <a href="http://www.draganfly.com/uav-helicopter/draganflyer-x6/gallery/videos/video-3.php">official  Dragonfly page</a>:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The guys over at Tokyo Flash seem to never run out of crazy ideas for their cryptic watches. Their new model subbed Rogue reminds us of several other watches released by the Japanese, but still has its particularities. Rogue features neon green LEDs that somehow make me think of Green Lantern.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/tokyoflash.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-915 aligncenter" title="tokyoflash" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/tokyoflash.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="351" /></a></p>
<p>At first, the time system may seem a bit awkward. However, you’ll be learning to read the time “in no time”, once you understand how the system works. The Tokyo Flash site gives us clear instructions on this matter:  the outer ring of small dots represents minutes, every fifth dot being slightly smaller to distinguish five minute groups. The ring of large blocks represents rough minutes, the position of the gap indicating approximate minutes. The inner ring of blocks represents hours, the position of the gap in the ring showing the current hour as on a clock face. In case you can’t approximate the positions, the outer dial region of the watch includes the usual numerals to make it easier for you to read.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/tok009_l3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-916 aligncenter" title="tok009_l3" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/tok009_l3.jpg" alt="" width="481" height="607" /></a></p>
<p>The Rogue watch is now available in either polished silver or black finish, and you can order one of these from the <a href="http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/tokyoflash/rogue/">Tokyo Flash official site</a> for $161.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Burj Dubai is almost ready (well, they still have to put several hundred glass panes on it) and many more buildings are scheduled to be either finished or started in the remaining months of 2008. One of the latest projects that was presented to the wealthy Arabs is a pyramid-like building that is completely eco-friendly and can house no less than 1 million people.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/timelinks-ziggurat.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-909 aligncenter" title="timelinks-ziggurat" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/timelinks-ziggurat.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="279" /></a></p>
<p>Timelinks, a design firm based in Dubai, has come up with the design for the Ziggurat building which turn out to be a sort of self-sufficient enclave, featuring an efficient vertically-and-horizontally-running public transportation system plus all sorts of ecological energy generators.</p>
<p><a href="http://dvice.com/">DVice</a> informs that Timelinks has already begun all the necessary steps towards patenting the design as well as the technology necessary to build it. The entire building is supposed to measure nearly a whole square mile, and should use a combination of steam, wind and solar-based methods in order to produce the necessary energy. &#8220;Green areas&#8221; inside the huge building could provide the small-scale city with agricultural space, so food won’t be an issue with this structure.</p>
<p>All the eco-friendly technologies put into the Ziggurat and other buildings are set to bring more carbon-neutral areas in order to reduce the global warming effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see more and more people using Bluetooth headsets and I might get one as well for my future smartphone (might be a Nokia or a SE Xperia). Since all of the upcoming products are supposed to integrate support for the Bluetooth 2.1 standard, I could get a BlueAnt V1, which is said to be the forst Bluetooth 2.1 headset.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/blueant_v1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-905 aligncenter" title="blueant_v1" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/blueant_v1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://dvice.com/">DVice</a>, the BlueAnt V1 headset uses an advanced voice interface that lets you ask the headset &#8220;What can I say?&#8221; and the headset will answer you with a list of possible commands (pairing, voice dialing, answering calls and others). Even more so, you won’t be needing to read boring instruction manuals, as the BlueAnt V1 comes complete with audio tutorials that walk you through its functions.</p>
<p>Noisy environments can always give you a headache when using a headset, and BlueAnt was aware of this annoying issue when they included a dual microphone featuring the Voice Isolation Technology that separates your voice from background noise. You actually get a clearer voice with echo/ambient noise/windy effects cancellation.</p>
<p>Other features include an upgradeable firmware, three charging options (car, phone and USB) and it can pair with eight devices at the same time. Weighing only one ounce, together with its included battery that lasts five hours of continuous use and 200 hours standby, your ears are up for some nice treat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many formats in which PCs come nowadays. The need for portability is greater than ever, but the days when you had to choose among a limited offer of bulky laptops are long gone. We now have notebooks, sub-notebooks, tablet PCs, UMPCs, mobile internet devices and even OLPC devices. The Eee PC from Asus is in a class of its own and I guess there are other devices I may have omitted. Anyway, companies can sometimes combine these form actors and come with a new product altogether. This is the case of Albatron and their latest Tee PC (no actual relation to the Eee PC here).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/albatron_tee_pc_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-899 aligncenter" title="albatron_tee_pc_1" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/albatron_tee_pc_1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="374" /></a></p>
<p>Albatron’s Tee PC is  a slate-style Tablet PC netbook. Here you have it, a new denomination for a hybrid device.  According to <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/">Slashgear</a>, Tee is running Windows CE, has a 7-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, and it’s powered by a modest 400MHz ARM926 CPU coupled with 128MB RAM and just 128MB of flash storage. No need to panic, storage space can be expanded with SD cards.</p>
<p>Since it’s a netbook, the Tee PC comes with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and you can choose a VGA or 1.3-megapixel webcam. Although the processing power is not quite up to par, the slate is capable of playing back VGA quality video at 30fps, or alternatively H.264 and MPEG4 content at 24fps. Albatron didn’t mention anything about battery life, although we know it’s a 10.8Whr battery.</p>
<p>The Tee PC measures only 188 x 113 x 13mm and weighs a mere 343g. It also comes bundled with a docking station that includes USB connectors, built-in speakers and audio ports. No info on availability and price for now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to beat Michael Phelps at the next Olympic Games? I guess you can’t really use fair methods in order to achieve such a feat, so why not use a Lunocet Monofin device? Just make sure you’re using it somewhere by the beach so Mike can’t see that you’re using it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/lunocet.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-868 aligncenter" title="lunocet" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/lunocet.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="144" /></a></p>
<p>Phelps might be the fastest swimmer out there, splashing water at around 5 miles per hour, but when you get to use the carbon fiber Lunocet, you will be able to easily break the waves at 8mph. Maybe they can make a more compact version (read invisible) in the near future, so no one would know about our little booster.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://gizmodo.com/">Gizmodo</a>, the Lunocet weighs about 2.5lbs out of the water, but in the water it’ll almost feel like it’s non-existent.  It is constructed from silicon wrapped in carbon fiber with a titanium footplate,  and can give you the same power on a downstroke as an upstroke. Coupled with a pair of strong legs the monofin could theoretically generate enough power to drive a human completely out of the water, just like dolphins are able to make their flips.</p>
<p>Lunocet could be selling for an estimated price of $1,250 to $1,800. However, the first tests are scheduled to be conducted by DARPA, so I don’t think we’ll be getting our hands on this baby that soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apart from allowing us to move around and run, our feet might also save our lives in some delicate situations. For instance, when in your cubical and playing a game or watching some porn instead of working on your report or whatever you are supposed to do, the sound of feet is how you know when someone is approaching your cubicle. This way you know you have to cease what you are doing an make it appear you were hard at work. But how exactly are you going to move that fast? Well, this is where your feet come “in handy”, but you still need the Stealth Switch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stealthswitch.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-854 aligncenter" title="stealthswitch" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stealthswitch.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>With the foot-activated Stealth Switch you can easily avoid getting caught fooling around at your computer by your boss. First, you have to install the special software and plug the hidden foot switch in (it goes either between the keyboard and your computer, or just into an available USB port). Hide it under your desk and your feet can activate it whenever needed. When you activate the switch, it can hide the current window, hide all windows, or hide all windows except for specified windows. Keep in mind that it doesn’t just minimize windows, but totally erase from your screen. The Stealth Switch can also mute the sound, hide the taskbar, hide the desktop icons, and password protect the restore function. When the coast is clear, another quick tap and you are ready to get to “work” in no time.</p>
<p>The Stealth Switch is available at <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/76ed/">ThinkGeek</a> for just $24.99.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to skip the usual car prototype for today and explore some other vehicles. Don’t know if you can call this a vehicle, but at least it has a unique design. Here’s the SoulArc skateboard that is supposed to reinvent the way we ride such things.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/soularc12b.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-894 aligncenter" title="soularc12b" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/soularc12b.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="570" /></a></p>
<p>The designers say that they really wanted to make this skateboard feel like a surfboard carried by waves. In order to achieve this, they placed a huge leaf-spring between its long deck and the wheels. According to <a href="http://gizmodo.com/">Gizmodo</a>, when you dig your heel in the board, the spring relaxes into corners, giving you more of a surfing-through-waves feeling. Check out the short presentation clip made by the designers:</p>

<p>We can see in the clip that the skateboard is more flexible and allows you to ride it in rougher than usual places. SoulArc was designed by college students Mitch Mulder and Salvatore Vilardi, and the guys have managed to obtain a commercial patent so we can actually buy this thing. The skateboard was already demoed at the Action Sports Retail show in San Diego, and the official release is expected in a couple of weeks but the two students didn’t mention any price point.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DLP Projector prices have taken a dive lately, but in this case the price really measures up to the actual quality you are getting. You have a strict budget? You get what you pay for, namely less features and nothing to boast about. The thing is projectors haven’t yet been embraced as a true competitor for LCD and plasma TVs, since their specs still have to be improved. But with the Super Hi-Vision chips that will allow for images 6 times wider than the 1080p standard I think this is all going to change. Talking of advanced DLP Projectors, here’s a new model from Planar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/planar_viper_dlp_hd_projector_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-890 aligncenter" title="planar_viper_dlp_hd_projector_1" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/planar_viper_dlp_hd_projector_1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>Planar Viper is a 3-chip DLP projector which knows how to handle true HD support for screens larger than 110-inches.  Although its native resolution is 1280 x 720, it supports a wide variety of standards, including  1080p, 1080p-24, 1080i, 720p, 576p and 480p.  Capable of contrast rates around  10,000:1 at 2,000 lumens brightness, the projector integrates a 10-bit independent dual image and motion adaptive processing system.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/">Slashgear</a>, Planar teamed up with Texas Instruments to develop better performing DLP chips especially for the Viper. This way, the high-end model is can display a more detailed picture when connected to a 1080i source.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/planar_viper_dlp_hd_projector_3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-891 aligncenter" title="planar_viper_dlp_hd_projector_3" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/planar_viper_dlp_hd_projector_3.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="291" /></a></p>
<p>Among other options we find a five lens system which allows for improved power zoom and focus, plus horizontal and vertical lens shift, as well as an RS-232 automation interface with discrete on/off, input selection and aspect ratio control. Viper comes equipped with only two HDMI 1.3 connectors that are compliant with the Deep Color standard and will set you back $15,495.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I keep bumping into more and more prototype cars these days, I don’t know, maybe I’ll just make a special column with such concepts. We’ve seen some interesting concepts from NASA, but all of these were designed to be piloted on the Moon or Mars. Here’s a NASA concept car that is supposed to be more “down to Earth,” although it’s not related to the good ol’ National   Aeronautics and Space Administration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/nasa-concept-car-360-steering.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-885 aligncenter" title="nasa-concept-car-360-steering" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/nasa-concept-car-360-steering.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="312" /></a></p>
<p>The futuristic prototype comes with a set of intriguing features that make it stand out of the numerous concepts I’ve seen lately. Instead of awkward opening doors, the prototype comes with a sleek hood which is supposed to provide safety and comfort to the passengers inside. The most radical feature is the inclusion of dynamic wheels that&#8217;ll let you pull off hairpin turns, allow the car to move perpendicularly in a snap, and make 360 degrees spins a snap.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/nasa-concept-car-360-01.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-886 aligncenter" title="nasa-concept-car-360-01" src="http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/nasa-concept-car-360-01.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>With this car you can easily slip through tight situations and you’ll never have to worry about car parking issues. It actually reminds me of some RC cars that allowed youto pull crazy stunts and never crash them head-on. Anyway, according to <a href="http://dvice.com/">DVice</a>, the NASA car was designed by Czech students Marek Kedzierski and Michal Vlček, studying at the Tomas Bata University in Zlín.</p>
