Peek for your email

Buy the Peek for $99 and get unlimited email delivered to the device for twenty a month. T-Mobile provides the connect.
No voice. No web. No YouTube. Just email.
I wish this had been around about eight years ago – it would have been the perfect fit for some of my friends. But in 2008 why would you carry another gadget around when you have:
a) given up email for text
b)realized that you can get email on your phone
WHY? Maybe Peek has the answers.

Ok, I am really starting to fixate on this tiny laptop. The small size and low price are fascinating. While many mainstream pubs are lumping this in with other gadgets targted at the tween or education market I think that would have value to many users. Join me in my temporary obsession.

Watch the video demo showing a prototype device using a flexible, rollable display. These are NOT far away. Imagine how a display like this could change the shape of so many current devices. Plus, it could end up in all sorts of new locations.

Car detects heartbeat?
April 5, 2007 at 8:58 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentTags: gadgets, invention
I’m still April Fool’s paranoid and can’t believe this isn’t a joke. But Volvo isn’t a company that jokes around.
The TV commerial opens with a woman approaching her car in a darkened and deserted parking lot. She looks down at her key fob and sees blinking lights; the car has detected a heartbeat IN THE CAR!! This has the makings of a high-tech ghost story.
The Volvo site indicates that it’s the real deal. Not only would this detect an intruder but also a dog or child left behind while you are busy talking on the phone.
Does it work? Who knows? My experience with heart rate monitors involves strapping a sensor around my chest and wearing a watch/heart rate monitor. When I run under the power lines near White Hill School my heart rate mysteriously triples. What would happen with my Volvo?

The latest offering comes from a European company using the tried and true gyrocopter for the flying bits and and an impressive looking three-wheeled vehicle on the ground.
