Flip Wi-Fi Camcorder Coming in a Few Months

by Jay Garrett on November 18, 2009

flip-minohd-hd-camcorderCisco bought out Pure Digital in a multi-million dollar deal earlier this year and they intend to use their networking know-how to launch a new Wi-Fi-enabled Flip digital camcorder.

Those lovelies over at Pocket-Lint had a chat with a Cisco spokesperson who said that the new range would feature “a large screen that slides to reveal the record and menu buttons underneath” allowing users to see what is going on when they are recording video.

Cisco wants to keep this in the pocket-friendly region in cost as well as size so don’t go dreaming about touchscreens and the like!

The plan is that you’ll be able to record video and upload it straight from the camcorder over Wi-Fi networks both private and public, a feature currently being offered in some DSLRs.

Music Cage – Let Your Tunes be as Wire-Free as a Bird [Nendo Design]

by Jay Garrett on November 11, 2009

NendoThis is one of those beautifully simple designs.

The Music Cage comes courtesy of the Japanese brand Nendo.

Music Cage is a wireless speaker that allows you to listen to music from a computer or Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone without having to run cables to it.

In fact the only cable it does need is the one to power it. Even then you can ceiling mount it or just run it from your wall socket.

There’s even a stand designed to compliment it.

I reckon these are ideal for anyone with a conservatory or owns an old house where technology can look more than a little out of place. Just play some bird-song recordings and no-one would know that you are listening to it coming from a bluetooth enabled speaker :)
