R100 Personal Robot

The R100 Personal Robot is one of the quirkier looking robots from NEC that looks more like a de-feathered penguin and will easily pass as Frankenstein's offspring. As we were told not to judge a book by its cover, what does the R100 Personal Robot have in store for us? For starters, it comes with a couple of CCD cameras that is capable of recognizing faces, cheering the owner the moment he comes back from work, as well as help the R100 navigate without bumping into furniture and other obstacles which litter the floor. A trio of microphones enable it to catch your commands and match it with a 100 phrases in its database. The R100 is also capable of expressing itself through 300 phrases. It surfs the Net as well, delivering your e-mail on your behalf.

The Infinite Disk

The Stardom ST3620-B2 1.5TB Hard Disk Caddy System. We’re not sure what’s more unbelievable. That we’re talking 1.5 terrabytes of storage sitting on your desk, or the fact that it’s all held on removable caddies, which means that you’ve basically got infinite storage next to your elbow. Priced at a mainframe bustin’ £649.99. Good luck backing it up though, eh?
The ST3620-B2 is set up in a JBOD mode. JBOD stands for ‘Just a bunch of disks’, which allows the two disks to be accessed via one USB2.0 lead. The internal hard drives we supply are SATA drives, ensuring that data transfer is blisteringly fast. Because the hard drive in the ST3620 are in removable caddies, if you run out of disk space, you can replace the hard drives with more drives further down the line. In effect then, you can have a limitless storage capacity.

You just keep adding hard drives when you need more space.

D-Link's V-Click: an overpriced, rebadged GSM VoIP phone

D-Link's got a so-called new line-up of dual-mode WiFi VoIP / GSM V-Click phones for ya. The big selling point of course, is the ability to quickly toggle between your tri-band 900/1800/1900MHz GSM/GPRS network or unspecified 802.11 WiFi to make low cost VoIP calls.
The magic here is in that "v-click" button along the side which flips the WiFi radio. Once enabled, users can make SIP-based VoIP calls or hit the web over the bundled Opera Mobile browser and 176x220 pixel display. Let's see, same screen, same dimensions, same radios... yup, we're calling it a rebadge.
So are you really going to give D-Link $600 for their logo when it drops in Q1 or pick-up an unlocked, €200/$250 Twin sans contract from your friendly electronics importer? Yeah, thought so.

The Recyclable Wood Roadster from Mercedes-Benz

Recy, the Recyclable Wood Roadster from Mercedes-Benz

This is the first entry into the LA Auto Show's Design Challenge. The competition challenges manufacturers to design a environmental conscious car. None of this vegetable oil powered crap. This car is completely Recyclable because it is made out of wood, alloys, glass and metal. I'm still not sold. Even though it is partially made of wood, does it have a wood grain finish?

Logitech unleashes '2nd gen' wireless headphones

We told you about how Logitech's FreePulse Wireless Headphones flew through the FCC approval process with their improved Bluetooth 2.0 specs (3x faster, lower power consumption, simplified multi-link), and now they're officially out in the open for all to see.

We're just hoping this Bluetooth 2.0 spec performs better than most of the Bluetooth 1.x gear we've been testing lately, which can undoubtedly be temperamental. Try your luck for a hundred bucks, available next month.
