Dai Nippon Printing's Joe Walsh approved OLED poster We have to admit that we got excited when we saw this poster, but that's only 'cos we thought it was for the dinosaur rock band from the 1970s -- an appropriate object of some good-natured ribbing, if ever there was one -- instead of some baseball team from Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Manufactured by the Dai Nippon Printing Co., this "light emitting poster" is currently on display at the exhibition space of the aforementioned sluggers. Combining an LED backlight for graphics and OLED panels for scrolling text, energy use is sixty percent that of fluorescent light, and the OLEDs have lifetime of 20,000 hours. Expect commercial availability sometime in April 2010, by which time the Eagles should be ready for their next "farewell" tour.

Super Talent2.5-inch MasterDrive RX 512GB SSD Just a year ago, Toshiba was dreaming of 512GB SSDs while simultaneously trying to figure out why in the world HD DVD became such a dumpster fire. Fast forward to today, and you can own one of these mythical masterpieces (albeit with a Super Talent logo) if you don't mind parting with $1,499.99. Starting this very moment, the company's most capacious MasterDrive RX device yet is ready to rumble, bringing with it loads of MLC NAND flash, 230MB/sec read rates and 200MB/sec write rates. Suddenly, that forthcoming Z Drive doesn't look so outrageously priced, huh?

Sahpr S600 PMP: it's like a Sharp, just far more dull While we can't quite crown this abomination with a bona fide KIRF label, there's still plenty of knockoff to keep the crowds chuckling. If you'll recall, Sharp popped out a boring SP600 portable media player in early 2008, and now, we've got some kind of undercover apprentice attempting to ride that wave. For those familiar with the real Sharp, you'll no doubt recognize the iconic (albeit slightly out of sorts) Sahpr logo there in the top left corner. What you won't recognize, however, is any design cues from the authentic Sharp PMP. For those who must know, the S600 sports a 5-inch display, support for a whole slew of formats and support for HD output. We'd wish you luck on actually finding one, but surely you're not depressed enough to embarrass yourself with one of these, right? Right.

Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse looks like a gold brick Look, we fully understand the dilemma. You picked up a Pure*Gold PC late last year, and you've been tirelessly searching for a suitable mouse to use with it ever since. At long, long last, said device is finally upon us. Too comical for Crapgadget and too outlandish to be taken seriously, the Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse operates on practically any USB-enabled machine and is coated with precisely zero atoms of gold film. In other words, around 98 percent of the $34.68 asking price is for the looks alone, but you know it's worth it.

3-in-1 cigarette lighter / air purifier / perfume dispenser won't make your cigarettes any safer, your car any less rank We know you like nothing more than a fine cheroot after a late dinner, especially when you find yourself behind the wheel -- and no, one of those new-fangled e-cigarettes will not do the trick. What you need is the 3-in-1 automatic cigarette lighter / air purifier / perfume bottle. It'll light your light, filter your smoke, and what it doesn't get out of the air will be masked by whichever parfume du jour you choose to supply for included the 15 ml. reservoir (we suggest Hai Karate). Retails at $54.99, car charger included.

SLAP Widgets add movable, tactile controls to your surface computer Looking to have the best of both worlds in terms of virtual and physical interfacing, Media Computing Group's developed the Silicon Illuminated Active Peripherals (SLAP) which, as the name suggests, consists of tangible widgets that can be placed anywhere on a surface computer and used for context-specific controls. Examples used are an Optimus-esque keyboard, a slider similar to those found on audio boards, and a knob for video editing. It's a clever approach, sure, but here's hoping future implementations will be able to include a sharper, higher resolution screen. Kindly direct yourself to the links below for video demonstration.

Eye-Fi 4GB WiFi SDHC cards Nah, Eye-Fi's latest Secure Digital cards still aren't nearly as capacious (nor as cheap) as other alternatives on the market, but good luck getting that free-after-rebate 8GB SDHC card from IAWANNA Corp. to upload images via a wireless hotspot. We pinged the company today to see if the company's 4GB Explore Video and Share Video SDHC models were shipping out, and we were informed that orders placed over the web were indeed leaving the docks. If you're not kosher with handing $99.99 or $79.99 (respectively) over through the intertubes, both devices will splash down in stores starting on April 19th.

Samsung dual-SIM B5702 Dual SIM support still isn't a big deal in most of Europe and North America, but in Russia -- where the new B5702 is launching, among other places, in May -- having two lines at your immediate disposal seems to be a headlining feature. The leaked B5702 is now fully official, offering a 3 megapixel camera, quadband EDGE, QVGA display, FM radio with RDS, built-in document viewer including Office and PDF (kinda unique for a dumbphone), and microSD expansion up to 8GB. Unlike some dual-SIM devices, the B5702 utilizes both cards simultaneously; two LEDs indicate which line is being used by incoming calls, and a button on the side allows users to hot-swap active lines without restarting the phone. Just don't mix up "Boss" and "Sweetie" on the speed dials, alright?

Korean carrier KTF launches mobile phone-controlled vacuum cleaner South Korean telecom firm KTF has just announced a cleaning robot which can be controlled by a 3G cellphone. The robot -- called the CW100 -- was built in collaboration with Microbot, and is a "smart" vacuum (much like a Roomba). The CW100 uses an onboard video camera to send live images of what it's "seeing" to the mobile phone, and the user can then remotely control it using the keypad. The bot will be sold for KRW 500,000 (about $370) in conjunction with a data plan that runs KRW 5,000 (about $3.70) per month. Sounds pretty affordable and awesome to us -- as long as it doesn't run over the family cat.

QiGi AK007 It's actually pretty hard to find a super-rugged WinMo device that doesn't have an integrated barcode scanner, weird keypad, or some other feature that takes it solidly out of the consumer market, so when we saw this, the five-year-old kid in us definitely took notice. QiGi's AK007 was apparently designed with public service in mind, targeted at cops who need a smartphone that can take a licking and keep on ticking -- and by all appearances, it'll do just that. You've got a 624MHz core (probably sourced from Marvell, if we were the betting type), Windows Mobile 6.1, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, GPS, a 2 megapixel camera, your choice of CDMA or GSM / EDGE radios, and the usual QVGA display; apparently "rugged" doesn't mean "high end," eh?

LG's midrange GM205, GM210, and GM310 go heavy on the music LG's made no secret of its tie-up with the maestros over at Dolby to improve the quality of sound on the go, and the latest fruits of that partnership are coming together as the GM205, GM210, and GM310. Starting on the low end, the GM205 candybar features 2.1-channel audio, a 2 megapixel camera, and memory expansion to 2GB (seems like everything supports microSDHC these days, so this is a bit of a disappointment even in the lower market segments). Moving on up, the GM210 switches over to a slider configuration and ups the expandability to 4GB; the GM310 is the most interesting of the bunch, though, with 3G data, a 3 megapixel camera, and memory expansion all the way up to 32GB -- not to say you're going to have an easy time finding those kinds of cards at this point. The handsets feature LG's Sound Engine, which tweaks audio based on nine presets depending on the kind of music you're listening to; not parti...

Cisco STA1520 SDV tuning adapter impressions Cox grabbed some early SDV headlines by promising to supply its Phoenix-area TiVo customers with free tuning adapters, but it only recently made good on the deal in our central Phoenix location. Since the initial announcement, other cable markets -- both Cox and other providers -- have already delivered tuning adapters to users. Based on our poll, it seems the Tuning Adapter rollout is still in the early stages even though we feel like we've been waiting for a long time. Better late than never, though -- last week we got a letter indicating that our Tuning Adapter was ready for pickup at the local Cox office, thankfully still gratis. For our troubles, we got a Cisco (Scientific Atlanta) STA1520 that the Cox representative made abundantly clear was free only as long as we stayed a customer.

Angel Car Concept gives you an unbelievable driving experience Angel is a concept car inspired by the fairy angels at a minimal and very pure design manner. Peugeot Angel is specially designed for city use that will give the users an unbelievable driving experience. This concept car has a futuristic look with a little bit of retro charm. All the front wheels have a standard car like look but the rear wheels are functioning on idea of circulation of opposite magnetic fields and this movement actually develops magnetic field that aloes this superb car to be levitated in its back. With this process the Angel car is lighter than traditional cars and requires less power to perform smooth drive.

Lunar Baby Thermometer with a unique shape Taking temperature of a baby with the currently available thermometers on the market is a challenging job for parents since they need to keep their babies still and put the thermometer under the arm or tongue to get a valid temperature reading. Lunar Baby Thermometer is a very useful apparatus that fits with the parents hand and can take temperature readings by simply placing it on the baby’s forehead. Its ergonomic and organic shape allows the user to hold and use it intuitively, while providing a safe grip in the hand of the user. A beeping sound and a flashing LED indication will let you know that the temperature has been recorded.
