Thanko Japan have just released a new multifunction cooling pad for netbook users called the CoolPad, that cleverly incorporates a 2.5-inch SATA HDD slot and a 3-port USB hub. The pad, which is really more like a dock or a “mini-notebook PC station”, gives you a bit more flexibility when working with a pared-down netbook and keeps things cool when you’re over-working the CPU.

Buffalo Japan today introduced a new line of flash drives with capacities of up to 16GB in an enclosure no more than 8mm thin. There are thinner drives out there such as the tiny iRiver Domino, but they don’t come close to offering this amount of storage. Tuesday, 16 December 2008
We’ve seen vibrating alarm rings and even vibrating clocks that go under your pillow, but never anything quite like this. Designed by a Japanese company called Vessel, the “Vibe” Vibrating Alarm Clock Pillow is an ingenious device that wakes you from sleep with gentle pulses, instead of jolting you into consciousness with a screeching audible alarm.

Thanko Japan have put out yet another spy watch for all you keen voyeurs out there, this time including a very conspicuous view-screen to help you capture better spy pics and movies. Called the MP4 Watch, this timepiece-cum-camcorder lacks the more covert styling we saw in their 4GB Camcorder Watch last week, but makes up for it in added functionality. Thursday, 11 December 2008
The Kanto Bureau of Telecommunications in Japan yesterday announced that they have fitted Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) / Cash Machines with cellphone jammers, in an attempt to help slow Japan’s latest fraud phenomenon. The recent scams target the elderly, with scammers reeling them in and feeding them step-by-step instructions which lately involve the withdrawal of cash from an ATM and handing it over in a number of ways.

Japan is experimenting with an interesting method of generating clean and inexpensive electricity. They are essentially harnessing the power of pedestrian footfalls with a piezoelectric electronic mat, which is capable of generating an impressive 0.5W every time someone weighing around 60kg (132lbs) steps on it.

Iriver quietly announced a new Portable Navigation System in Japan on Friday called the CaroNavi M3. The device will feature a 3.5-inch LCD TFT Touch Screen (though it does erroneously say OLED on the product page), and will be compatible with a number of media formats including MP3 / WMA / OGG for music as well as WMV for video playback.

A clever cordless phone by Sanyo called the TEL-LANW60, is able to relay earthquake announcements made by Japan’s Meteorological Agency, alerting you to serious imminent quakes and helping you through the aftermath by transforming into a flashlight. Wednesday, 3 December 2008
Japan’s Ulvac Inc have become the first to put next-generation, solid-state, thin-film lithium batteries into mass production, providing a “safe” alternative to current lithium-ion tech due to the absence of liquid electrolyte in the cells. |
