Bluetooth handset gloves

As a kid one of my favourite shows was Inspector Gadget and now you can buy gloves that work the same way as the top secret gadget phone. ThinkGeek is selling some gloves that come in both men and women's sizes that through a bluetooth device lets you talk into your left hand (instead of the right like on the gadget phone). There's a microphone in the pinky and a speaker in the thumb of the left glove. You can buy one here:

Nintendo Phone

I just found out that back in 2006 Nintendo filed a patent for their own cellphone. They partnered up with Nokia to make it but it ended up getting rejected. It doesn't say what the name of it was from the looks of it all it could play were 8 bit games. Also the buttons for game playing don't look much different from the game boy.

Atari Mindlink

Back in 1983 Atari was working on a controller that could read your mind called the Atari Mindlink. It was a headband you had to wear with a couple sensors on it. Unfortunately it never worked the way it was supposed to. It wasn't actually designed to read your mind, instead the sensors would read the movement of your eyebrows. It never made it to getting sold in stores because people got headaches from trying to move their eyebrows the correct way.

Voicelok

2 years ago I posted about Tamatebako ( a flash drive that deletes everything if the wrong password is typed) and now I've found a usb drive that lets you use it by saying the password out loud. Hopefully you aren't in a public place if you ever have to use this. You can buy one here:

Project Glass

A while ago Google announced Google HUD and now they've actually released a new video about it but instead of being called Google HUD it's now called Project Glass. From the looks of it they are glasses that can do the same thing as a 3G iPad or an iphone. You can send messages to your friends, it has gps and internet. Right now they're a few people testing out the prototypes so you might see some people wearing these where you live.

Solar Charging iPad Case

If you're one of the people that thinks an ipad with a 10 hour battery life isn't good than you'll want this. It's an ipad case that charges the ipad with solar power. It works with either ipad 2 or 3 and you can use the ipad up to 10 days instead of 10 hours. The solar panel uses photovoltaic ink that converts both indoor and outdoor light into electricity to constantly charge your iPad. It also has a usb port for your smartphones, mp3 players, or a headset and it also has an HDMI output for an HDTV. You can buy one here:

Bendable E-Reader

Next month LG will be releasing a bendable e-reader in Europe. It can bend up to 40 degrees. The display will be 0.7 millimeters thick and will also have a resolution of 1024x768. And it also can survive being dropped from 4.5 feet (Does that mean it breaks from 4.6 feet?). Unfortunately the press release doesn't say when they will release it over here.
