Super Soakers are fun and there has been some ‘cool’ designs but if I’m looking to get into a water fight I’m opting for this AK!
Say hello to my WMD (weapon of mass drenching) of choice: the AK-47 Aqua Fire.
This soggy shooter is equipped with a battery powered motorised trigger capable of firing 4 “bullets” of water every second and an easy reload mechanism. Gone is the furious pumping to get the pressure and instead of having to shove it under the tap to refil just sling in a full water ammo clip.
The AK-47 Aqua Fire is actually fully licensed from M.T. Kalashnikov, the makers of the actual AK-47.
Features:
No pumping required
Fully motorised
Shoots 4 bullets of water every second
Safety switch
Clear casing to see the auto-fire mechanism
Holds approximately 300ml
Clip holds enough water for approximately 60 seconds of continuous firing
I tend to get quite blasé these days when I read about another new Japanese mobile phone.
Well, I expect large OLED screens, 12MP cameras minimum, Blu-ray recorder connectivity, double digital TV tuners, 3D holographic displays – you know, the usual
Let’s face it though – until you read the spec-sheet they all look the same – generally clamshell phones.
This is why the Fujitsu’s F-04B is noteworthy. It’s the first to feature a two-module body.
That’s right my gadgety friends. The ‘Separate Keitai’ (Keitai means handset in Japanese) has the ability to split into 2 parts which can be used independently (a keyboard section and a display slate).
One part features a 3.4 inch touchscreen with a 12.2MP camera (there’s also an inner camera), acceleration sensor, Blu-ray recorder connectivity, e-wallet function, etc.
Whilst the section has a full numeric/QWERTY keyboard with a geomagnetic as well as an acceleration sensor.
The two bits are joined by a magnet and connected via Bluetooth.
Fujitsu says that this cleverness is designed as to allow users to send or receive mails while talking on the phone.
During video calls, users can keep the keyboard section to their ear while holding the display slate at a distance – neat huh?
When horizontally attached, the touchscreen will switch to character entry mode or display a “virtual” game pad so that users can write emails or play games – yup, the keyboard can be used as a game controller, too.
I love this bit. I know that there’s those of you that have to stand in a certain area of your home to get a decent signal – well with the Seperate Keitai you can leave the display section in the bit that gets a good signal and, as long as you’re no further than 10m away, talk via the keyboard part from the comfort of your sofa.
Fujitsu says that you should get around 2,000 hours of standby and 500 minutes of continuous talk! That’s three-times as much as the Japanese are currently used to from their hi-tech mobiles.
There’s already Bluetooth accessories being dreamed up for the device – for example a mini projector that could be remote-controlled with the keyboard section.
The Seperate Keitai will appear in NTTDocomo’s winter line-up and appear on shop shelves in Japan around March/April time.
The best bit – it’ll only cost £380! That’s for two phones really when you think about it
Most performing musicians will know the pain of trailing power to the front of the stage in order to power their effects pedals.
Amps and the like are easy enough catered for but, especially if you have vocal duties as well, pedals are usually positioned by the front stage/monitor/mic area and the latest product released under [...]
Mmmmmm……….. peeeeeeeeeeeeeanuuuuuuts……. Peanuts and beer……. beeeeeeeeeer…..
Ahem – you’d better not be thinking beer if you’re going to use this P-NUT from Honda.
Yup – The Honda P-NUT.
This is the Japanese manufacturers glimpse into the future and there’s not even a snack-tray in sight.
The Honda P-NUT (Or Personal-Neo Urban Transport) has just been unveiled at the LA [...]

Patrick Povel, Samsung’s European Senior Product Manager stated that analyst Gartner believes that mainstream OLED notebooks will become the norm over the next half-decade.
Well, seems that Samsung wants to bring this into reality sooner rather than later as it’s already the first ever company to show-off an OLED laptop prototype as it did so [...]
Some of you may already know that my ‘hood or endz is Camden in London.
That’s one of the reasons why the new watch by Storm caught my eye.
The Storm Camden is not only a cool retro-looking digital time-piece it also features a touch-sensitive screen that when tapped switches on the screen.
Not only does this look [...]
Yeah, another iPhone / iPod dock – but this one is a tad more sensible than the last one on here!
Ok – it will only charge one device at a time but it will also charge the bundled battery pack at the same time

I’m totally digging the idea of placing [...]
Some clever-clogs at Nokia have devised a cunning plan for a system that’ll charge phones using nothing more than ambient electromagnetic radiation – put simply: electricity from thin air!!!!
It actually is more plausible than I first thought.
You see, RFID tags are powered by electrical signals converted from electromagnetic waves emitted by a nearby sensor machine – yeah?
Well, that’s exactly [...]
I love my Maglite but sometimes I’d rather take something lighter and something I’d care less about if I lost it or it got stolen.
GearDiary has just posted up these Battery Snaps which cost $5 and will light your path.
All you have to do is press the Snap onto the top of a regular 9v battery, and you’ve got a [...]
The UK is still waiting for Amazon’s latest eBook reader but it may already be redundant (if this baby comes over).
The Fujitsu FLEPia is Japan only and isn’t actually planned to be released in the UK – at the moment.
If it is released globally I can imagine a few worried faces in Amazon as the FLEPia [...]
Ah, The Mophie Juice Pack.
It happens to be the first Apple-approved add-on battery for the iPhone 3G and it’s going to be available in the UK people!

The pack is [...]
Hmmmmm………Uh-oh!…something else to taunt the battery of the lovely iPhone!

OOoooo, tell me more
Only part of the display would be activated using a secondary backlight located under the main one.
According to Apple, [...]
I’ve seen a few ‘designs’ that bring a little extra juice to the JesusPhone but most have been….how can I say………a little ample on the girth?
This one, however, I feel needs a mention.
The Power Slider by Incase promises to double your phone’s power for up to 5 hours talk time on the 3G network (10 hours [...]
I’d like to do the right thing for the eco-system of this planet but I can’t afford a Tesla and wouldn’t be seen in a G-Wiz so how could I buy an electric vehicle that looks good but doesn’t brake my account?
