Solar Case for Ipod Touch

Here is an interesting case for the iPod Touch, the Surge case from Novathink, which will recharge your iPod via the built in solar panel.

The Surge iPod case features a 1500 mAh 3.7 V lithium-ion battery, that will give you up to 120% extra power for your iPod, and it can be recharged via USB or via the built in solar panel on the back.

The Surge Solar iPod Touch Case will come in a choice of funky colors, including green, pink, blue and black, and it will go on sale later this month for $70.

I think its a great idea, having a solar panel on the back of the case, lets hope they release a version for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Robot riding bike - Amazing

Flossie may sound like the name of a dental hygiene bot, but it’s actually the Castrol-developed test rider you see above straddling that cycle. The robot has a self-learning mode that lets it to get a feel (throttle response, clutch drag, gear shifting patterns, etc.) for any stationary bike upon which it’s perched.

That’s right, he “rides” while stationary. We wonder how long it will be before he actually takes one of these bad boys on the road, joining up with Murata Boy. Flossie lets Castrol evaluate its lubricants as effectively as possible.

Espresso On the move - Handpresso

When you’re traveling, sometimes you have to give up your precious cup of espresso. Which can actually be more catastrophic for those that have to deal with you than it actually is for you. So as a service to the people around you, you should make sure that you’re never away from your coveted caffeine fix. To do that, you will need this Handpresso. It’s small enough to easily pack away in a suitcase so that it will be handy no matter where you travel.

Although it might not be quite up to the quality of a machine that you might use at home, it would at least be far better than nothing at all. In order to work the hand held item, just use the handle to pump in air up until you reach 16 bars of pressure. Then pour the hot water and press the release button. It then dispenses espresso with crema on top. There is no power needed, making it even more travel friendly. You can pick it up for $99 through Amazon.
