There is sure some cool and clever gadgets out there.  (there's also some REALLY dumb stuff too)

  This digital camera actually fits on your key chain.

And of course for those that think it's a better idea to spend  $150.00 on a camera than to lose a few pounds, we have this.

They're probably working on a camera that enhances that, as we speak.

[DIV class=breadcrumb]StealthSwitch[/DIV] Procrastinate At The Office With Confidence! Feet have been a major factor in the course of human history. If it wasn't for feet, so many great heroes of the past would have had to sit down or risk tipping over. The sound of feet is how you know when someone is approaching your cubicle and it is time to hurry and close the game running on your computer. Too many close calls can lead to unnecessary office stress.  The Stealth Switch is the answer. Quickly install the software and plug the hidden foot switch in (it goes either between the keyboard and your computer, or just into an available USB port) and you are safe. It hides in the shadows and just a light tap of your toes will let it work its magic. Based on your preferences, it can hide the current window, hide all windows, or hide all windows except for specified windows. Not just minimize, mind you, but totally erase from your screen. The Stealth Switch can also mute the sound, hide the taskbar, hide the desktop icons, and password protect the restore function. When the coast is clear, another quick tap and you are ready to frag in peace. [!-- Bulleted portion of the description, if needed --]

[/B]   These keyboards feature 104 keys in a standard QWERTY layout, but with a nifty twist of being the most portable keyboard seen to date. Simply roll the unit up when you're done with it! A great tool for laptop users who miss their full-sized KB when on the road, or LAN party warriors looking to lighten their load.  The individual raised keys allow an amazing amount of tactile feedback when depressed. Wider keys such as the "Space' and "Backspace" keys contain multiple sensors to improve typing accuracy. While it takes a bit of geting used to (finding the center of the keys is more essential than with normal keyboards), the portability of design and utter silence during use make this puppy a winner.  True-Touch Roll-up keyboard   [LI]Rolls-up for easy storage and portability  [LI]Dust and moisture proof  [LI]Standard 104-key keyboard  [LI]Choose from PS/2 only or both USB & PS/2 connectivity  [LI]Lifetime of approximately 15,000,000 keystrokes!  [!-- Bulleted portion of the description, if needed --]

And to take it to another level.....

   [H1 class=ArticleTitle]Virtual Keyboard: a little light music[/H1][!-- Categories --] [DIV class=RelatedCats] [P class="EntryDetailBlack EntryBreak"]Related Entries:  [A class=EntryInfo href="http://blog.scifi.com/tech/archives/portable_entertainment/"]Portable Entertainment[/A]

[/DIV][!-- End of table containing Date of Entry and Related Categories --] [DIV class=ArticleBlock][!-- Entry Body --] [P class=EntryText] [img class=PicLeft height=471 alt=virtualkeyboard.jpg src="http://blog.scifi.com/tech/pics/virtualkeyboard.jpg" width=285]If making music is what moves you, it's great to always have your instrument at hand just in case inspiration strikes. That's easy enough if your instrument of choice is the harmonica or penny whistle, but even a small electronic keyboard would require a mighty big pocket. Japan's DID has seen the light, and developed the Virtual Piano, which uses a the same technology as the [A href="http://blog.scifi.com/tech/archives/2006/04/12/type_anywhere_w.html"]Virtual Keyboard[/A] to project a two octave keyboard onto any light-colored flat surface. A sensor inside the device can tell which of the projected keys your fingers are touching, and then it plays the corresponding notes through the built-in speakers. A selector lets you choose between piano, organ, pipe organ, and harpsichord sounds, and the unit is polyphonic, meaning you can play chords in addition to single notes. At 1 x 1 x 4 inches and around 3.5 ounces, the Virtual Piano is about the size of a large cell phone, and DID claims a full-size version with 88 keys is also possible. The Virtual Piano is coming out in Japan this November and should sell for about $130.

 [DIV class=breadcrumb]Palmsize Havoc Helicopter

[DIV class=breadcrumb]

[DIV class=breadcrumb]

[DIV class=breadcrumb]

[DIV class=breadcrumb] You will be amazed the first time you see this Palmsize Havoc Helicopter take off from your hand. It's like a tiny robotic hummingbird transported from a future society where all remote controlled toys are micro-sized and super cool.

 We won't kid you. Flying this mini copter takes some of those twitchy video game skillz you've been perfecting on FPS shooters. But once you get the knack of it you won't be able to stop zooming it around your home or office. Unlike a traditional R/C helicopter, the Palmsize Havoc Helicopter is always moving forward. You control the hover height and right or left turns. By adding tiny weights to the nose of the copter before takeoff (weights are included) you can adjust how quickly the copter moves forward.
