Just getting over my hangover from the wild blast we had at Goa this new years, I thought this is the time to wish all of you a Very Happy New Year 2006!!! (better late than never).

Though it looks like I have started a very late new year, it's not true. I have just managed to find the time to look up after I have cleared up the crazy backlog of work that had piled up cause of the long Goa vacation.

New Year Resolutions...Well, I never manage to keep them, so I don't make any. But I have decided that in this year, I am going to be changing the site design, but this time I am going to do it on my own. That means I first have to learn photoshop (something I have wanted to do for many years now). I yet have to think of an alternative for the design, but whatever it is going to be, it is going to be Romasha's design. Any ideas, suggestions...

So once again, here's wishing a Happy New Year to all my readers and I hope you manage to keep all your resolutions!!

Before you could even start to understand why the iDog is creating such waves, wait untill you finish reading this. Come January 2006 and Sega will release another toy, the iFish, for iPod freaks who don't like dogs!!

The iFish is capable of doing most of the tricks that the iDog can, except it would do it in an extremely fishy fashion. The iFish can probably flap it's fins to the music, compose music, do the lighting act and even act as a loud speaker when connected to an audio device.

Now lets wait for the iFish accessories to hit the market! Any guesses on what they would be like?

A new innovative fun way to communicate! Moodblurbs are status messages that enable you to express your mood at the moment. Just connect the moodblurb holder to your laptop and you can announce to the people around you that you are chatting with your boss! Each Moodblurb Starters Package comes with 8 Moodblurbs and a Moodblurb holder. The holders come in various colors black, blue, green or red.

So if you are tired of people walking up to you and asking you for cigarette lighters while you surf the Internet in a coffee shop, use a Moodblurb -- "Do not disturb". And if you are absolutely bored sitting at the airport just clip your blurb to your bag "Wanna talk?" and you might just find someone to chat with.

Moodblurbs, as the creators say, is taking web2.0, the concept of interactive communicaton, offline. This is web2.1. The Moodblurb acts as a status message similar to your instant messegers, encouraging others to initiate communication with you. I'd say the Moodblurbs will be true blue web2.1, if the actual messenger status is integrated with the Moodblurbs and displayed digitally on an LCD display.


Moodblurbs, they are creative way of starting a conversation :)

Finally, there is a challenging solution to the perplexing problem of getting out of bed every morning. Presenting the Puzzle Alarm Clock. This alarm clock wakes you up by firing four puzzle pieces up in the air.

Wait! Don't discard this one as just another clock. The alarm cannot be deactivated unless you find the pieces and put them back together to complete the jigsaw puzzle. You just cannot lie in the bed, blissfully tucked in your blanket cause the loud and annoying ring of the alarm cannot be ignored.

You dont need 5 alarm clocks to wake you up, after all!

 

iDog, created by Sega is the perfect companion for your iPod, MP3 player or anything that has a headphone jack. The iDog moves dances and rocks to the music through the headphone socket from any MP3 player and seeks playful interaction.

The cute and adorable iDog expresses itself through patterns of flashing 7 different colored LED lights on its head, movement of its head and ears and wagging it's tail. Feed it with music when it is hungry! It growls and barks if you don't. When it's tired listening to the music and dancing, you just have to pat its nose, and off it goes to sleep.

Apart from the original white iDog, the music dog now also comes in Pink, Black and light Blue. What's more you can now also buy accessories for your pet dog. You can protect it from the cold this season with the i-Dog Chill Sets which includes a scarf, a hat and even boots in six colors and carry it along in a bag made especially for it. The iDog Bags are available in Box Stlye, Bowling Style and Profile Style.

Here is your chance for all you geeks to play and design open-source electronic games. Tangible LED game tiles, TileToy is an innovative game consisting of blocks with LEDs embedded inside them. TileToy brings the flexibility inherent in digital software to a physical tile that people can touch and interact with. By arranging the electronic tiles, players can engage themselves in various kinds of game play, ranging from fast-paced arcade style games to puzzles.

The tiles are plastic cases approximately 2" square. In TileToy, technology is sealed within the design. The interaction is based on tactile experience where no user manual is needed. Compared with traditional tile games TileToy can take advantage of such things as changing state, animations and games where the tiles can effect the state of adjoining tiles. Simple word games can be created where each tile displays a random letter and the players organize the letters into the longest word possible.

Applications can be developed also to utilize the tiles purely for display purposes to show patterns, animations or even live information. Each tile is controlled individually and can be used to transmit information on its own or in groups of several tiles. The assembled tiles transmit wirelessly their individual position in relation to each other and based on that changing information, a central computer, or a dedicated tile runs the different applications.

TileToy is an open project. Both the source code and the hardware will be made available via open licenses. Their blog has lots of the details, ideas, workshops and updates their project is going through.

Phone accessories manufacturer, Hulger has done what it does best, yet again with their latest Penelope and PIP phones. They are available in two styles: wired or bluetooth.

The Penelope looks like a lavish traditional '30s style handset that would be just perfect in a plush home with expensive white leather sofas. The phone engages mordern-day technology allowing wireless connection to Bluetooth enabled cell-phones and PCs with an indoor range of about 10 metres. The Penelope is available black, an irresistable maroon or ivory.

Another new design is the sleek and slim PIP Phone that you can use with your computer to make those long phone calls using any internet voice service. It is a phone you would love to flaunt while you talk on Skype using Wi-Fi in an coffee shop! Available in yellow, black and white.

Skype Voice Over IP just got a whole lot sexier.

Looking for that full-bodied headset for your iPod nano that feels like surround sound. Macally is all set to launch the mTune, a cordless headset for your iPod Nano, in late November/early December. You can simply insert your iPod nano directly into the exclusively designed nano slot. No batteries required since the headset is powered by the player and it is quite light in weight. It has a collapsible design making it easily portable.
The mTune looks very comfortable, but when it comes to headphones, the most important factor is the sound, which will be revealed only once it hits the markets. Macally has priced the headset at $49.99
