Rapid Blemish Healer
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on January 3rd, 2010
The definition of looking good these days seem to stem from beauty magazines as well as advertisements that bombard us wherever we go, and it requires one to steel one’s mind to prevent being influenced that skinny is beautiful, alongside a host of other criteria like being fair and blemish-free. Well, if you happen to be under the spell of advertisements, the Rapid Blemish Healer might be just the thing for you.
This device uses the same phototherapy treatment developed by dermatologists to help heal skin blemishes 55% faster than if left untreated. It administers moderate heat to open clogged pores and uses green and red phototherapy to eliminate p-acne bacteria, the most common cause of acne. Eliminating the need for prescription medications, the device also reduces painful, unsightly swelling that accompanies acne pimples. Simply place the device on a blemish for two 10-second intervals (with five-seconds in between) and it automatically delivers the phototherapy with the push of a button. Provides 40 treatments after a four-hour charge.
$199.95 is the price you must pay to begin on your route to blemish-free skin, although it is highly recommended that you also alter your lifestyle to include more greens in your diet and a dose of healthy exercise each day.

Go green with Huntkey 90W Energy Star Universal Notebook Adapter
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on January 2nd, 2010
Going green has been the mantra where consumer electronics and transportation are concerned for a fair number of years already, and we have good reason to be worried about the condition of our earth when we pass on – do we make sure that our kids are able to live in a clean environment, or must they wear gas masks with oxygen tanks each time they head outdoors? The choice is ours, and there are many methods that we can take to make sure that apocalyptic scenarios do not occur once we have breathed our last. Apart from taking public transport and making more earth-friendly choices in terms of food, another way would be to use more green electronics. Don’t know where to start? How about taking an inventory of all your appliances at home and see which are the ones that have green alternatives, choosing those models the next time you want to make a purchase. As for computers, Huntkey has a solution in the form of the 90W Energy Star Universal Notebook Adapter.
What makes this Huntkey offering so different from the rest? Well, the 90W Energy Star Universal Notebook Adapter is able to reach the Energy Star-V standard for starters, where the more output power it has, the higher power consumption laptop it can supply. Take for example a 15″ (or greater) laptop display screen with an independent graphics card – it will probably require such an adapter. Apart from that, the Huntkey 90W Energy Star Universal Notebook Adapter is also more than capable of meeting people’s needs where high efficiency is concerned, as it can hit up to 87% of power efficiency to place it at the highest level of power efficiency of any Energy Star Specification. In layman’s terms, the higher the efficiency, the more consumers are able to save on their monthly power bills.
Don’t worry about the Huntkey 90W Energy Star Universal Notebook Adapter being limited in use to certain countries only – it functions worldwide by supporting input in the range of 100-240Vac at 50-60 Hz, alongside an output voltage of 19V DC, at 0.47A max. Each purchase comes with ten different tips that cater to a variety of laptop brands including HP, DELL, Lenovo, Asus, Thinkpad, Acer, Compaq, Toshiba, Sony, Samsung, Gateway, Panasonic, Sharp and Fujitsu among others.

Mophie to offer iPhone credit card reader
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on January 2nd, 2010
When the iPhone was first released a few years ago, the whole world was abuzz with anticipation on how Apple would be able to an above-average cellphone experience to the masses, and I must admit, we weren’t disappointed. Heck, expectations were so high that folks even queued up outside the store for a couple of days before its release, willing to fork out a whopping $599 outright for the handset (and that is even before one takes into consideration the monthly fees). Well, the iPhone has certainly come a long way since its release with incremental upgrades and updates introduced along the way, and it seems as though this smartphone is able to do just about anything (save for stemming pollution around the world). Today, we bring you news of another new function introduced to the iPhone thanks to Mophie – with their iPhone credit card reader.
Mophie, the popular iPhone and iPod accessory and battery add-on maker, will use CES 2010 as the platform to introduce their iPhone credit card reader and third-party app, marking the accessory manufacturer’s first attempt to break into the lucrative mobile payment systems market. The accessory has been unimaginatively dubbed as the “Credit Card Reader”, where each purchase will be accompanied by a complimentary third party processing application which enables one to turn the iPhone into a functional device that accepts credit payments simply by swiping one’s credit card through a special casing attached that is connected to their handset.
There are still a great many details concerning this new mobile payment system by Mophie that have yet to be unveiled, and industry analysts are pretty sure that the device’s success will depend largely on the design and bulk of the iPhone add-on alongsde a price point that is hoped to be customer friendly. Make no mistake, this device isn’t about to start a monopoly in such a segment since it will go up head-to-head against Square. The Mophie Credit Card Reader will be packaged as an iPhone-only shell case which is similar to their Juice Pack Air battery pack for iPhone.

Wavebox portable microwave oven
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 31st, 2009
When the microwave oven was first released, it did change the way we live in many aspects. No longer do you need to wait for hours on end for something frozen to thaw, and heating food up takes but a couple of minutes under the high power setting. While there are certain quarters that claim eating microwaved food isn’t exactly the most healthy way to go, who wants to live forever anyways, right? After all, we’re all about convenience these days, and you don’t get any more convenient than popping in a TV dinner into your microwave whenever you’re home grouchy and hungry. Well, looks like the electrical world’s sliced bread has just gotten better with its “butter”, in the form of the Wavebox portable microwave oven.
The Wavebox portable microwave oven is pretty self-explanatory – it functions as a microwave oven, albeit you are able to bring this with you just about anywhere you go. We mean that with some common sense, of course, as we wouldn’t expect you to lug this around a shopping mall just because the waffle you bought was not hot enough for you. No sir, the Wavebox will target folks who need to prepare meals away from the kitchen or those who live off-the-grid, which includes campers, boaties and truckies among others. Tipping the scales at 6.3kg, the Wavebox will run off the mains voltage regardless of which country you are in, while you can always hook it up to your vehicle’s 12 volt battery via alligator leads with the option to plug it into your in-vehicle power outlet.
Retailing for $250 a pop, at least you won’t need to go through the hassle of starting a fire in the middle of nowhere while waiting for many minutes before your food is cooked. Just make sure your vehicle’s battery has enough charge left to keep the Wavebox going, otherwise you might end up as food for the grizzlies.

New thermometer line ready to see action
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 31st, 2009
American Scientific Resources, better known as ASR for short, has just announced that they will be rolling out a new range of affordable yet revolutionary, 5-in-1 non-contact thermometers that were specially designed to meet the needs of consumers and healthcare workers globally. Instead of the usual glass-and-mercury combination, these new non-contact thermometers are a snap to use, where it is able to provide instant temperature reading that is accurate as well, while making kids (and some adults) more comfortable since they no longer need to have something probing their orifice – whether it is from the top or at the bottom. Too bad for the little ones, as I clearly remember be paedatrician offering me lollipops after taking my temperature as a form of goodwill.
Some of the advantages for this new thermometer line will include :-
- Affordability
- Quick results, enabling immediate care
- Time saver for large groups
- Trusted clinical approval for accuracy
- The ability to take a trauma-free, non-invasive temperature
- Completely hygienic
- Back-lit display to be seen in dark when the patient is sleeping
Apart from that, the medical health industry will also learn to go green in some ways and save on costs, since there won’t be any more additional expenses associated with other thermometers such as probe covers and disinfection methods. You won’t find these thermometers out so soon as the consumer model will enter production in February next year, with full production capability exceeding 5,000 units per day. As for the new Kidz-Med 5-in-1 Non-Contact consumer model pictured above, it is expected to retail for $49.95 in the US while folks living outside of the US will have to fork out nearly $80.00 instead. Expect the thermometer to be widely available for purchase sometime in Q3 2010. While it is going to be manufactured in China, we hope that there will be sufficient quality control methods employed. What other non-invasive medical advances would you like to see happen in the future?

Silent Space Heater
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 30th, 2009
In the bitter cold of winter, there are a myriad of ways to keep warm, and most of us choose to rely on a heater which is electronically powered. Well, it sure is more convenient compared to wearing layers of thick clothes indoors, eh? The Silent Space Heater keeps you and your household warm and fast with minimal noise to boot!
This is the electric space heater that employs micathermic technology to quickly heat a chilly room without a noisy fan. This efficient heating system combines convection and radiant heating, enabling it to reach its maximum temperature faster than oil-filled radiators. Unlike boxy electric heaters, this model’s large, flat panel doesn’t have glowing electrical coils, and because there’s no fan to stir up the air, it’s ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers. The unit has 750- or 1500-watt outputs with an adjustable thermostat, plus a frost-prevention setting for otherwise unheated rooms. An internal switch cuts power instantly if the unit is tipped over. Just 2″ thick, the lightweight heater rolls on its wheeled base or mounts to a wall using the included hardware. Heats a 144′ sq. area.
Just in case you had a rather bitter and cold Christmas, why not cheer yourself up for the new year with the Silent Space Heater for $99.95?

Gravida’s Nurse Prenatal Education Device
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 30th, 2009
Becoming a parent is no mean feat, and you don’t magically function as a good parent the moment your little one pops out and breathes his/her first through the mucus after leaving the security of the womb for the past nine months. Why not get yourself educated the right way, and instead of looking to the Internet as the source of all knowledge and information, there are other viable alternatives around like the Gravida’s Nurse Prenatal Education Device. Featuring a wide touchscreen display, a memory card slot and USB connectivity, all you need to do is insert relevant memory cards and other educational parental titles on a USB drive, and watch those lessons while paying close attention so that you know better on how to care for your newborn (and yourself throughout the pregnancy, of course). Not too sure where we’re supposed to get these lessons on memory cards from though. The Gravida’s Nurse Prenatal Education Device is going for $22.69 a pop.

Pocket Radar all set for CES 2010 release
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 30th, 2009
We covered the Pocket Radar in brief earlier last month, and much has happened since then, with the company releasing more details on how the Pocket Radar works. In fact, if you’re heading down to Las Vegas for CES 2010 next week, you might want to check out how the Pocket Radar looks like at their booth, but for those who can’t make it to Sin City, then there is always the alternative of using your imagination through the following description. Nominated as a 2010 Innovations Design and Engineering Award Honoree in the highly competitive personal electronics category, the Pocket Radar will come in a sleek, compact, palm-sized, ultraportable design, where internally it holds a break-through speed radar technology and point-and-shoot functionality to offer users with extremely accurate, real-time speed measurements of moving objects with the touch of a button.
The use of proprietary digital signal processing algorithms and state-of-the-art intelligent target acquisition techniques help users obtain unprecedented, industry leading accuracy and speed measurement detection regardless of the object. Pocket Radar has set a new standard for performance for the consumer electronics category, where it can be used by both professionals and everyday consumers in a wide range of methods – you can be a coach trying to clock baseball pitch speeds, or an athlete who want to improve your times, and even NASCAR racing fans are able to be more participative by clocking their favorite driver’s speed around the track.
Pocket Radar will rely on a Doppler radar signal detection and processing system that works in tandem with re-engineered microwave and antenna components, helping deliver a similar powerful performance that are currently available via traditional bulky radar guns. Being small enough to fit into a shirt pocket (and hence its name), it is accurate to within 1 mile per hour. Don’t worry about it running out of juice fast either – a set of AAA batteries are good for up to 10,000 speed measurements.
