Gadgets...

As I was travelling around to different places over the weekend, I came across a variety of cool gadgets. They actually meet different sectors of customers. Once again, they are all 'want' based and for me, they are all sophistication taken to heights.

DigiMemo 692 - For persons, who would prefer to write on papers but still want to transfer the details to computer. So, its a notepad with built in memory. I should say, this is almost like a tablet PC except that the writing is done in paper with the specialized pen and the contents are digitized as they are written down. Check out more details!

iCuiti's iWear - With all the video uploads going on around and iTunes making too many deals with the TV show & movie producers, more & more videos are making their way into the customer's world in different digital forms. With iTunes video downloads, Video iPod has been gaining momentum, but don't you feel the screen is too small to watch them. Here comes the solution. The iWear shows the videos as personal 36" home theatre screen! Available in Skymall! But is this worthy to carry? Probably for flight travel alone I guess...

Visiball - Check out what purpose this product serves! Do people really buy/need this glass to search Golf balls in the turf? I guess the customers for this product can be counted in hundreds:)

9625CG/G - May be people will prefer to have this. This is nothing but a cell phone signal booster if you have low signals in & around your house/office. This sure addresses the day to day issue for many customers, because we always hear people complaining about low signal, dropped calls and calls ending in direct voice mails. But, the problem is the price! Unless, we do big time business, it's not worthy to invest like USD 250 to 300 for this equipment. Don't you agree?

V-Phone - And here is an alternative to landline & cell phone. Well, we need computer & internet connection though! Vonage's VOIP business model is built on the basics of replacing land lines. And this new product (yet to be released into the market) is kind of more than a stand alone landline replacement. Because, this USB device key chain product can be carried with us. All we need to do is plug into any computer & talk. It is a long term cost trade off - Is it worth to replace a cell phone (including handset, activation, monthly/minute fee) and a landline phone (equipment, monthly charges) with V-Phone (Computer, internet connection charges, V Phone Stick, activation etc). May be not! ABC has more details on the same.
