Tiny i-Sobot Unleashes Weapons on Tanks, Dinosaurs and Random Toys

by Jay Garrett on December 23, 2009

The i-Sobot was once crowned as the world’s smallest bipedal humanoid robot and since then I reckon the power and the fame has gone to the little droids head.

Now he’s contacted a mini-arms dealer and bought himself a small arsenal of weaponry which he unleashes upon his fellow toys.

I reckon that there’s more than a little ’small droid complex’ going on here ;)

Check out the vid and marvel at the robot’s aim!

The GenevaSound S Designer iPod Dock – Classy Sound and Comparatively Affordable

by Jay Garrett on December 19, 2009

I think I’ve found the perfect iPod dock to sit in the same room as the retrotastic Philco PC :)

GenevaSound have just announced a newer, smaller, and more affordable dock called the GenevaSound System Model S (for small).

This GenevaSound S apparently has one of the smallest hifi speakers ever released (?) at just under 6 inches.

The classy designer dock also packs a digital radio and alarm clock.

You get TouchLight controls, which lights up the system upon touch which is a nice….. err… touch; as is the motorized PowerDock, which spins up to close when the iPod is removed from the system.

You get a choice of gloss White, Black or Red finishes and you can plonk it on the included table stand should you so wish.

The S retails for $299 but if you have more cash see the gallery pic below for the full (and not cheap) range ;)
