CarGo – The Transforming Car = 3 in 1

by Jay Garrett on June 3, 2009

cargocrewIt’s been a while since I slid over to Yanko.

This is a cool concept that I’d vote for to go into production.

The days of owning 2 or 3 cars has long gone – well for me anyhow so having one that transforms into three different vehicles has to be a winner!

The CarGo vehicle concept has three different modes—compact, narrow and pick-up.

The CarGo contains a pick-up bed and an extra storage compartment that can flip up, pull out, or get removed/stowed away depending on how large you need your car to be.

As a bassplayer I can certainly see the benefits:


  • The pick-up mode to lug around my rig and possibly help out the rest of the band.

  • The narrow one to park up in this glorious city – possibly in a bike space ;)

  • The wider but more upright compact mode to go cruising around.


If the company needs an endorsement please forward my email address :)

Asus EeePC T91 – Convertible Netbook Tablet with TV Tuner Out Now in UK

by Jay Garrett on June 2, 2009

asus_eeepc_t91_touchscreenAsus added the Eee PC T91 to its EeePC line-up as predicted.

If you can recall this is the first Eee model to sport an 8.9″ swivelable touchscreen and a suite of touch-optimised software that enables users to get the most out of finger or stylus input.

We first saw the Asus Eee PC T91 at CES 2009 even though it slipped beneath my radar to start with.

The Asus Eee PC T91’s unique software apps, collectively known as TouchSuite, allow users to get tactile with their tasks such as: literally touching up photos, creating photo albums, leaving handwritten desktop memos for the next to use the puter, and sketching cartoons or custom emoticons.

As well as being a pretty handy addition to the EeePC range it works as a tablet so that users can read documents, scribble ideas into digital notebooks and surf the Internet on the move without having to open up the lappy.

The T91 is also packing a TV tuner and Global Positioning System (GPS) for extensive entertainment options and advanced navigation capabilities on the go.

The Eee PC T91 comes in Black and White and will cost you just shy of £500

Thumbnail image for Fiat Drops The Top Of The 500c

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I really dig the Fiat 500.
It’s more faithfully retro than the BMW Mini in my mind (I know; that’s a strange place to keep a Mini) and, let’s face it, the Italians know a few things about style.
Well, to add a little something to the 2008 design [...]
