MP3 Player Designed to Ease Pimples

Everyone seems to have an MP3 player so the gadget is no longer something to show off, except maybe if your MP3 player is unlike anything the others might have. One such MP3 player that qualifies for this quality is made in Japan and is curiously called the pimple player. It's the mpion and is really basically a simple MP3 player capable of holding only 128 megabytes of flash memory. It doesn't even have a display. What it does have is hidden at the back. You might not see anything fancy and interesting there, but it's there.

So what's at the back? It's something that you move over your face (supposedly while you play music) in order to help keep your skin pimple-free. Yes, it's strange but if it can really do what it's supposed to do to your skin, maybe it should be marketed as a pimple remover that plays MP3s instead of an MP3 player that removes pimples. It just says the back releases negative ions which are supposedly good for the skin. While it's not clear how the device is able to rid your face of pimples, it's still kind of appealing to have an MP3 player that releases negative ions.

If you want an MP3 player that's different, maybe this is something for you. But if you want something that really does your skin some good, just go to a dermatologist and ask for some advice.

MUJI Means Green Tech for Cardboard Speakers

These days, when it comes to gadgets, cool and slick may not necessarily cut it. Yes, green is in and if your gadget isn't friendly to the environment, it may not get the kind of attention or acclaim it needs that would translate to sales.

Green gadgets are coming out in all shapes and kinds. Here we have foldable cardboard speakers, which the manufacturer says have little electronic parts. When you order it, you will get it folded in a neat plastic package. By the looks of it, it's only the speaker enclosure that's cardboard. You can't expect to have the diaphragm holder and the magnets to be made of cardboard too you know. But that's okay.

For a change, the cardboard enclosure may give a new twist to your sounds and listening experience. Who knows, cardboard may even prove to be better than wood or metal in bringing out the bass from your tunes or surround sound system. These cardboard speakers are made and distributed in Japan. It follows the MUJI (no-brand goods) principle of using simple materials for technology products. MUJI is derived from the Japanese phrase mujirushi ryohin. With MUJI, simple things like paper is indeed popular for all sorts of stuff.

Motion Control is the Future of All Video Games

Everyone went wow, when they saw how entertaining the Nintendo Wii video game was. It was a new experience in videogaming which added another dimension to how the game is controlled. Who would have thought that moving your arms instead of just pushing buttons with your fingers is more entertaining and engrossing to more people? Well, it's a fact and other video game companies are following the Nintendo's example and have released their own version of motion controllers.

Microsoft has one that has a camera, a depth sensor, a microphone, and processor that allows it to track the motion of the body and that practically includes everything. It can even recognize the player's face and voice. Would you believe that it can also scan real world objects? And did we mention that it's also voice-activated? The Xbox machine now has a motion controller for games that allow users to paint with their hands and talk to an artificially-intelligent character called Milo. Sony, on the other hand came up with a wand-like device with a glowing end. It can transform into all manner of handheld weapons or game implements.

These new video controller technology may soon make the television screen obsolete in that the images from the video game may soon be directly fed to the eyes of the player via a visor worn like eyeglasses. This output device used to be a problem when the game is played using traditional controllers like the game pad, which required the user to look at it when playing.

DID YOU KNOW?

This Vauxhall concept car, called the Flextreme, takes the design sensibilities of Vauxhall to new extremes. It's totally the future of cars not only in how it's made to be compact and spacious - but underneath the hood itself - with an extended-range electric vehicle technology system that gets its power from a lithium-ion battery. Coupled with a 1.3 turbo-diesel onboard engine, this is a car that truly extends the typical hybrid range to extremes. It's been given in 2008 with the prestigious international Red Dot Design Singapore Award. This is one toy gadget we would find hard to outgrow.

This Pen Lets You Pick Colors

If you've used a handy tool in a graphics-rendering software that can pick color (the Pick Color Tool), then you know how useful it is in drawing pictures. But that's when using the computer. What if that Pick Color tool is integrated in a real pen that you can hold in your hand? Wouldn't that be a cool product of technology?

There's this new gadget still under technological development that allows a user to pick any color by placing the tip on a surface that has color and it automatically mixes colors inside of it to produce the color it has scanned. It's a pen set inside a single pen! You may want one, but it may take some time as this pen may need to be thick to store everything that it needs to deliver what it promises.

This Lunchbox Is Also a USB Drive and it Heats Your Food Too

If there's a distinct information gadget trend in the first decade of the 21st century, it would be that things are turning into USB drives. We have USB drive lighter, USB drive pens, USB drive watches - you name it. Would you believe there is even a USB lunchbox now? Everyone who uses a computer should have one of these technology devices.

Yes, in Japan, you can plug in this special USB lunchbox (or more appropriately, lunchbag) and you get to heat your food for lunch (although it's hard to imagine how USB can do that). It's compact, durable, and is prefect for yoru office desk. One drawback though is that lunchboxes and desktop computers do not mix. But as most employees are hard-headed and usually break rules, you have to make sure you don't spill anything on your keyboard or your boss might opt to ban the device for good no matter how useful it is.
