It comes with everything you’d ever need from GPS and a compass to an Altimeter and Barometer. Yeah that’s right, these things are on a Panasonic camera and not just the latest Garmin eTrex model.

The DMC-FT4 is waterproof to over 12 metres, shockproof to 2.0 metres, freezeproof to -10 degrees C and totally dustproof. No matter whether you are a diver, climber, snowboarder or even an active walker you’ll always find a use for the Panasonic FT4.

You might think that all these relatively quirky features indicate that the photo quality will be degraded but you’ll be happily surprised. It can still record full HD 1920 x 1080 videos in both AVCHD and MP4 format. With both formats included you get extremely excellent quality across a ton of different devices. AVCHD is great for home devices cush as Blu-ray players and HD TV’s, and MP4 is excellent on computers as we all know. The 4.6x optical zoom and iA Mode are available in video recording. Videos also come with the high-quality sound system of Dolby Digital Creator.

One other thing we find excellent on the Panasonic DMC-FT4EB-A Rugged Compact Camera is the GPS function. Quite alot of modern compact cameras have this feature, but the FT4 takes it to a much more advanced level. It provides longitude and latitude information as you might extect from an active camera, but it also gives up to date information that covers 200 countries/regions and the landmark information of over 1,000,000 locations in 82 countries or regions. The photos and videos with the location names are automatically sorted in the virtual folder alphabetically in the camera for quick reach. You can also refer them via the included PHOTOfunSTUDIO. You can also share geotagged photos with firends via social media.

It also features a Time Lapse Shot that lets you record stationary observation just by setting the start time, interval and number of pictures to shoot. Once done it continually shoots objects over time giving an array of time lapsed shots – this is perfect for wildlife lovers.

There aren’t many cameras around that have been designed perfectly to appeal to people with an outdoor lifestyle and the Panasonic DMC-FT4EB-A is definitely the best available to buy on the market right now.

If you don’t like the snazzy blue it is also available in: Black – Panasonic DMC-FT4EB-K and Orange – Panasonic DMC-FT4EB-D.

Less than a week after promising that the company will be manufacturing a left-handed version of the popular 17-button Naga MMO mouse if he gets at least 10,000 “Likes” for the post on his Facebook page, Razr CEO Min-Liang Tan triumphantly announced that they will indeed be making one. This is not surprising since they reached the 10,000 pretty quickly.

In his Facebook page he said, “You spoke. We listen. At Razer, the community is pretty much everything to us. Hell, we are part of the community (For Gamers. By Gamers. baby!) and I’m happy to announce that we achieved the 10K likes on the LH Naga in less than a week (and 3 more weeks to the deadline). Well, we’re going to make it. It’ll take at least till next year, but it will be done. Till then, keep those ideas coming!”

Though there is no word yet as to the price of the upcoming LH Naga, right-handed gamers need to start polishing their skills as left-handed gamers will surely get a boost from having just the proper equipment in their hands when the mouse comes out next year.

Although left-handed gamers will surely be happy about the LH Naga, we’re pretty sure Razr is still a bit nervous about the project since their previous left-handed mouse, the left-handed DeathAdder did not do that well in the market.

Of the top ten gadgets, perhaps what comes as a surprise is that the Sat nav places a decent 4th place, scoring higher than the laptop, digital camera, and tablet, all which most would assume is more popular than the Sat nav. However, if you take into account the Sat nav capabilities of the different mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, and couple the number with stand-alone Sat nav gadgets for automobiles, then the results make more sense. Again, the results did not clearly state the exact kind of Sat nav devices used, which is why survey participants could have interpreted in different ways.

The top ten according to the survey gadgets are:
1. Mobile phone
2. MP3 player
3. e-book
4. Sat nav
5. Laptop
6. Digital Camera
7. Tablet
8. Headphone
9. Nintendo DS
10. None of these.

Gun enthusiasts, however, do not fail to appreciate what truly makes this diminutive gun revolutionary, which is actually its double-action trigger system. The DoubleTap’s double-action trigger system makes use of ball bearings for a smooth action and crisp trigger pull.

Aside from the really small size and patent-pending double-action trigger system, key features of the DoubleTap include an ambidextrous thumb latch to eject spare rounds, 5/8 inch-wide hammerless no snag design, a titanium frame MIL-STD finish that makes it corrosion resistant, two rounds in the chamber and integral grips that house an additional two spare rounds, and a ported barrel that reduces muzzle flip and recoil. Note though that the titanium finish is optional with standard models made of an aluminum finish.

Cost of the DoubleTap with alumin finish is £315, while the titanium finished model is more expensive at £460.

In case you don’t fancy toting around a .45 calibre pistol, no matter how small it may be, you can also opt for their 9mm pistol, which costs less than half of the titanium model of the DoubleTap Tactical Pistol.

While the Mac Mini is perhaps the most recognisable of mini PCs, one manufacturer that is quite consistent in its mini PC offering is Zotac.

Zotac recently released yet another mini PC, called the Zotac ZBOX ID80 Plus. This mini PC does not boast power, but is generally considered to be adequate for people who have moderate needs, allowing you to do everything that needs to be done on your PC, except for some heavy (graphics-intensive) gaming. It is a step higher in rank to its predecessor, the ZBOX ID 80 in terms of power though, with its NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 520M graphics processor and Intel® Atom™ processor, and pre-installed memory (2GB DDR3) and a 320GB hard drive. Note though that it does not come with an installed OS. Connectivity is not a problem with the ZBOX ID80 plus since it sports a USB 3.0, USB 2.0 ports, a 6-in-1 memory card reader, DVI and HDMI ports, and WiFi support.

If you are interested in a PC with a really small footprint and decent performance, then you only need £248 to get this mini PC from Zotac.

One stylus that has caught my eyes is the Adonit Jot Pro Stylus. One thing that made me take a second look at the Adonit Jot Pro is its unique approach to the stylus nib. Instead of the usual generic rubber-nub that almost any stylus you see sports, it comes with a really small ordinary looking ball joint that sports a rather weird-looking clear plastic disc at the end. This disc is no ordinary disc though because it comes with a metal cross (that you can barely see) that send the needed electrical charge for the stylus to work properly with your tablet/phone’s capacitive touchscreen.

Reviews on the Adonit Jot Pro in Amazon is mixed, but I have tried it and it works just fine on my iPad and Galaxy phone. And for the just the price of £24.99, this stylus is not to heavy on the pocket, and being sturdy won’t need to be replaced again and again. However, make sure you don’t lose your cap because it’s what protects the plastic disc and rumour has it that finding a replacement disc is not that easy in the UK.

So what is is about this washer that has gotten everyone’s attention?

The WF457 is 5.2 cu. ft. capacity front-loading washer that at first looks just like an ordinary, albeit shiny and snazzy, washer with only its nice 8-inch touchscreen to set it apart. The touchscreen, however, is only the interface to their Smart Control system, a system which you can control via the touchscreen but also lets you stay connected to the washer cycle without having to remain close by the machine. The remote system works because, believe it or not, this washer/dryer combo comes with built-in WiFi. This means that you can control your washing machine to start/stop/pause anywhere as long as you have your phone or tablet with you. You also don’t have to keep going back to check whether it’s done with its present cycle because you can also receive alerts via your mobile device. The only thing it lacks if for someone to load and take out the clothes for you, and maybe even fold and press them.

Aside from the Smart Controls, it also features a Water Shot Technology that makes for cleaner clothes with less water.

Before we get around to the praised, let’s get the pricing question out of the way first because at over £300 each, there’s no question that this case is quite expensive. However, anyone who’s had their hands on the Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower will tell you that it’s worth it and would recommend that you go for this high-end chassis if you have the money to get one.

So what is it that’s been earning this chassis such rave reviews?

For one, everyone seems to be really happy with the space. It doesn’t matter what you decide to load in there, because you can be sure it’ll fit in. Of course, that also means that this tower case has a pretty significant footprint.

Another design aspect that has been getting praise is it cooling options and capacity with its really spacious cooling chamber design with enough space for 3 overhead fans (2 are already come with the case) and built-in fan controller.

Then there’s the matter of build. A single glance at the Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower makes it clear even to the uninitiated that this one was built well. It looks good, has a great finish, and is quietly impressive.

According to Julian Hangschlitt, the idea of having robot pole dancers arose after event managers of the fair realised that having robots as dancers instead of real entertainers was more apt for an IT show.

According to Giles Walker, maker of the robots, his creations were “built from 12V motors found in cars (windscreen wiper, motors, etc.) and then controlled through a PC using a DMX programme”. Obviously, the whole ensemble was made from scraps he found around scrap yards. Despite the robots making an appearance during the tech fair, Giles Walker’s vision for the robots was far from showing the world the latest in robotic entertainment. As he says in his website, “For me, the creative process is not about completing some huge scientific challenge but creating something visual, and alive, using the basic equipment at my disposal.” To him, it’s still his art.

In case you want to have of this pair of robot dancers plus their accompanying DJ robot come over for your party, note that high-tech plus art is an expensive combination. Be prepared to pay a lot because while they are indeed available for rent, you can only get them to make an appearance if you have €30,000 on hand. And as many have pointed out, if it’s really only a dancer you want, you can hire a lot more than two with that amount of cash. But then again, it’s all about novelty and tech.

Hailed as the world’s first motion-based 3D finger mouse, we assume that it is quite solid in terms of performance having garnered several awards this early on such as the “Best Invention Award” from the International Federation of Inventor Association, and the “Gold Award” from the Korean Invention Promotion Association.

Aside from being a fully functional mouse and presentation pointer in one, key features of the finger mouse include a rechargeable battery that can be directly recharged by plugging into a USB port and support for page forward and backward, and pen and eraser modes. The NEO mouse also comes with 4 finger sizes so that you won’t have to worry about the fit and comfort whatever your finger size may be. So unless you have unusually huge fingers or super small ones, you can be sure that the finger mouse will fit around your pointer finger quite snugly.

When it comes to ease of use, there’s no question that it will take some getting used to having to shift from the traditional mouse or track pad. However, since the finger mouse is motion-based and basically means moving around just by pointing, then learning is quite intuitive and won’t be a real problem. As this product takes off, we’ll see how well received this product will be and if this will cause a shift in the way we really use mice or if more people will opt to stick to the familiar.
