Have a school field trip to Japan to bring home these 10 cool gadgets

April 9, 2008 Barbara No comments

Morning! PCWorld

has a wonderful roundup of super coolio gadgets you cannot get in the United States. Doesn’t this sound like a super reason to travel to the other side of the world?

Gadgets listed include:

Panasonic Viera P905i – Think of it as the world’s smallest “big-screen” TV.

Raon Everun UMPC – The tiny Raon–7 inches long and just over a pound in weight–is for travelers who want their laptop to feel not much heavier than a densely woven doily.

Samsung ‘Soul’ SGH U900 – Sleek new cell phone that is thin and rich: The 13mm-thick handset includes a 5-megapixel camera with 4X digital zoom, image stabilization, and face detection, plus support for blazingly fast 7.2-mbps data connections.

NEC ValueStar W – The W in this entertainment PC’s name stands for “Water Silence” but “Whisper quiet” would be just as accurate.

Toshiba ApriPoko Robot – This 11-inch-tall robot–which looks like the love child of a bird Pokemon and the Pillsbury Doughboy–is actually a voice-activated remote control that incorporates artificial intelligence.

Sony VAIO G2 – This superthin notebook breaks the 2-pound barrier with virtually no compromises, thanks to its durable yet lightweight carbon-fiber casing.

Fujitsu F705i – Fujitsu’s F705i is the slimmest, most sophisticated waterproof phone on the market–you can even wash its keypad with water.

Aigo USB Dongle – It’s a laptop! No, it’s an HDTV!

NEC LUI – Store your digital media on NEC’s home server, and then access it wirelessly via a nifty handheld device or a slim 1.4-pound subnotebook.

Face Bank – Wave a coin in front of the bank’s eyes (actually light sensors), and it opens wide to swallow your loose change
