Self-Stirring Mug I love my stirred Coffee :-)

As I quoe from Gizmodo

“Surely there are people out there who don’t believe in or own spoons, right? Because besides being extremely lazy, spoonlessness is the only reason to own a gadget like this. This coffee mug, from Hammacher Schlemmer, features a miniature propeller at the bottom of the mug that will spin at 3000 rpms mixing whatever additives you like into a frothy morning beverage. The propeller is activated with a button on the handle and the entire unit is powered by a couple AA’s. It is available for $30.”

Maltron Ergonomic 3D Keyboard

This is Awesome

“

Maltron makes ergonomic keyboards, and has been accommodating people who only have use of one hand for a while. The company also offers its Ergonomic 3D Keyboard, an expensive proposition that claims to fit the shape of the hands and accommodate the different lengths of fingers, reducing movement and tension.

There’s no wrist twisting involved, and the tilted keys make it so you don’t need to move your hands very far to get the job done. The number keys are centrally located for either hand to use.

The only downside of this keyboard is that you must be a touch typist to enjoy its benefits, and then, well, there’s that hefty $490 price.”

Pro Duo Memory Stick from Sony 4 gigs

Awesome I could use this in a camera!

As i quote from jk on the run

” Sony brings a whopper of a PRO Duo memory stick to market at 4 GB, but you’ll have to shell out around $215 to get it. Hmmm….who’s sticking it to who with this stick? Granted, I don’t have a PSP, nor do I have a camera that supports the PRO Duo form factor and frankly I’m glad I don’t. The more “mainstream” flash memory cards are much cheaper and seem to have the higher storage capacities faster than the outliers.

You can hit up Amazon right now for a 4 GB SD card and it will only cost you $125; want a matching 2-gigger? They’ll throw one of those in for a total of $183. Even a venerable Compact Flash card in the 4 GB capacity can be had for under $148. Do we have any die-hard memory fans out there that prefer one format over another or is all of this just more of the “let’s create a format that does the same thing so we can charge more money?”

Everything proof PDA…I have Ideas :-^)

Well as I quote from engadget

“Intended primarily for captains of heavy industry, Tripod Data Systems’ Recon X-Series pocket PCs are the toughest we’ve ever come across. Both new models, the 200MHz 200x and the 400MHz 400x, are tested to stand up to even the toughest conditions, including drops, heavy vibration, extreme temperatures, dust and water that would turn many slicker devices into a shiny pile of junk. Other features include an integrated microphone, WiFi, Bluetooth, 256MB of flash memory and two compact flash slots for worksite necessities like barcode scanners and GPS. Most units run the Windows Mobile OS, but a Linux version is available through SDG Systems. You’ll have to contact your local reseller for actual pricing, but we think it’s a fair assumption that this little brother to your Toughbook doesn’t come cheap.”

Ihave decided not to go with the Acer c200

I have decided to go with the Motion LE1600 after reading Tracy Hootens Article about how she was going to convert back to a slate (http://www.studenttabletpc.com/2006/07/post_6.html) so I spent a afternoon thinking about what my tablet would be mostly used for and I decided I would mostly be Inking and would not need a keyboard so I am going with the LE1600 or the Electrovaya Scribbiler

So thanks Tracy for the Helpful Article

Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with show #25! Congratulations to Josh and Heather Einstein on the birth of their child, Jacob, already becoming a Tablet PC addict.  Happy Birthday to the first lady of the Tablet PC, Lora Heiny, who turned 21 this week.  Marc discusses his reacquantance with the Toshiba M200 since he’s been using it lately and compares it to the Gateway he lost when he changed jobs.  We talk about battery life of UMPCs and whether it’s better to have an extended battery or a second standard battery.  Marc’s son Jason appears in a Microsoft Student ad and is known as Mini-Marc, poor kid.    In our discussion on Vista on the Tablet PC we question why we are getting no advanced notices about any Vista-ready slates on the horizon from OEMs like Motion. Tracy Hooten goes slate.  James rants on the lack of UMPC advertising- history repeats itself.  Marc and James offer two good ways to easily enable Flicks on touch screen Tablet PCs like UMPCs.

Enjoy the show!
