Keeping an eye on stylish
gear and technology.

No matter if you use NovelQuest’s Emperor Workstation to play Star Wars games, hack UN*X or control your evil forces in search for world domination it’ll just fit like a glove. Promise.

Besides looking huge and intimidating (as all computer workstations should) it comes packed with features like three TFT displays, air filter, light therapy, THX-sound and a uber-comfy seat. Not only that, whenever you want to get in or out of this thing it’ll lift the arm holding the displays by the press of a button.

It’ll launch in July this year, price to be announced.

Okay, it’s friday so let’s bring forth stuff you didn’t know you’d ever need, like the Canon LS-100TKM, a 1000dpi optical USB mouse with built-in calculator (with 10-digit LCD screen) as well as a numeric keypad. Flipping that lid open might seem more of a hassle than just hitting win-r and typing “calc”, but that’s just me…

Available in Japan by June 12th for about $32 in black and white models.

The people over at Mimoco just sent me three Mimobots to pass on to you readers. Now, these are the 1GB models (there’s 8GB models available now) but if you’re like me and 1) value appearance over storage capacity (well… sometimes) and 2) like free stuff in general then keep on reading.

Considering how appealing glass touch-screen interfaces are these days (think iPhone) there ought to be a market for the No-Key Keyboard, a completely non-tactile keyboard concept designed by Kong Fanwen. The idea behind this is that a built-in camera uses motion capture to record the keystrokes instead of by you actually pushing the buttons.

I wonder how my fingertips would feel after a long days hammering on solid glass though…

Here’s Polaroid PoGo, a pocket-sized and inkless digital printer able to print 2"x3" borderless photos. You can either connect it wirelessly through Bluetooth or via USB/PictBridge, allowing you to print from both cell phones and digital cameras. The backsides of the smudge-proof and water resistant photos can be peeled off too, making the photos into stickers.

“The full-color digital photos are created without ink cartridges or ribbons using ZINK Photo Paper™, keeping the printer to about the size of a deck of cards. The paper is a durable material that contains colorless cyan, yellow and magenta dye crystals. Heat activation brings photos to life, colorizing ZINK™ dye crystals, so digital photos can be shared instantly.”

The PoGo will start selling at Best Buy on July 6th for about $149.00.

Here’s the new Voodoo PC Envy 133. These white and black carbon-fiber Intel Centrino beauties are just 0.7" thin, meaning they’re thinner than the MacBook Air (which is 0.76" thick at the middle).

Other than the thin waist the Envy 133 sports a 13.3" LED WXGA (1280×800) screen, weighs 3.4 lbs and packs features like ambient sensors to adjust the screen brightness, a backlit and tactile keyboard, integrated webcam, multiple gesture touchpad and Ethernet connectivity as well as WiFi.

It comes with Voodoo IOS too, meaning you can fire up bootware Linux really fast for Skype, Firefox and similar tasks without booting Windows Vista.

Expect a starting cost of $2,100 when its launched during this summer.
