Universal Gadget Wrist Charger

I have used so many gadgets ever since…well, forever now. One of the most prominent problems about mobile gadgets is power source; with high-performing gadgets, power issue is sometime a big disappointment. Even the latest iPhone 3GS suffers the same problem of not enough battery power to last all day under extensive use. That is why many third-party manufacturers release battery packs.

The Universal Gadget Wrist Charger is another great product when it comes to battery packs. It offers a rather unique form factor designed for avid mobile gamers and mobile phone enthusiasts. Yes, it is a wrist charger with built-in battery pack; you can simply wear the battery pack on your wrist, plug the cable in, and use the gadget as usual while charging.

Awkward placements found in other battery packs? Gone! With Universal Gadget Wrist Charger, you can actually use the gadget you are using comfortably and still get the extra power you need to keep it going for hours, even days.

You also won’t look geeky at all wearing Universal Gadget Wrist Charger on your wrist. The sleek black finish and futuristic exterior design makes this particular battery pack very cool. The cable is standard miniUSB cable that can be detached from the wrist charger and stored separately in your pocket.

Since Universal Gadget Wrist Charger uses miniUSB, you can easily use this mobile battery pack to charge any gadget using the same miniUSB interface. There are also converters that you can purchase if you want support for wider gadgets. With only $35 on its price tag, the Universal Gadget Wrist Charger is definitely worth every penny.

Leica V-Lux 20 Camera

As world’s leading camera maker famous for producing superb lenses and amazing cameras that last forever, Leica’s transition to the digital world is not as anticipated as other brand’s. Several Leica digital cameras are not getting the market responses expected – although die-hard Leica fans get every digital camera Leica has to offer. The company’s cooperation with Panasonic is in fact slightly more successful, with Panasonic’s Lumix series – a series of digital cameras with Leica lenses – very popular among different types of users. Learning from their mistakes, Leica announced Leica V-Lux 20 Camera. From my personal point of view, think Leica is changing the market this time.

The Leica V-Lux 20 Camera will be released to the market this May, and it is reportedly priced at a little under $700. From Leica’s official press release, we can assume that Leica V-Lux 20 Camera will be a promising digital camera for sure. Leica’s superb quality lenses aside, Leica V-Lux 20 Camera offers amazing features any user would certainly love.

A 12.1-megapixel digital imaging sensor offers all the juice you need to produce stunning images of superbly high quality. The 12x optical zoom is just as amazing, featuring 25 to 300mm (35mm camera equivalent) zoom range that is more than enough even for digital photography enthusiasts. With cheaper cameras, having a zoom range this wide means lower image quality; that is certainly not the case with Leica V-Lux 20 Camera. A 720p HD quality video recording capability is also available as part of this digital camera’s features.

Asus EeeKeyboard: Is It Worth the Price?

There are a lot of buzzes for quite a while now about Asus releasing EeeKeyboard. The device should be revolutionary, packing an entire netbook in a form factor of ordinary computer keyboard, but many gadget lovers don’t really love the general concept. Is this particular gadget any good? Is it worth the price? That’s why we are going to review this device in this part. Shall we start?

Don’t get me wrong; although I sounded kind of skeptical about EeeKeyboard, I personally think the concept is genius. You will surely love the exterior design, with brushed-metal surface and well-placed keyboard keys. The gadget is also very comfortable to use in terms of typing, very similar to Apple’s keyboard already famous for being easy to use.

On the side, Asus installed a capacitive touchscreen – instead of a numeric pad – offering further control of the gadget’s functions. Some basic features can be accessed easily using the touchscreen interface, while advanced features and device settings might need getting used to. Asus’ decision to change the touchscreen interface from resistive to capacitive was a smart one indeed.

Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB SSD, Windows XP Home, WiFi, Gigabit LAN, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI out, and 3 USB 2.0 ports are among the features you will find in EeeKeyboard. As you can see, the specification is highly similar to its netbook counterpart. An extra UWB receiver for wireless playback of video and audio content is also provided. The price? You can pre-order this gadget from Amazon for $599.
