Rad Blaster – The OLED Packing Pocket Boombox

by Jay Garrett on December 15, 2009

RadblasterLooking for a present that’s urban, street and retro cool?

Check out The Rad Blaster :)

So – it does exactly like most other MP3 players do. It plays those choice cuts, record sounds and store files.

The difference with the Rad Blaster is it does all that and it’s shaped like a ghetto blaster or boombox if you will.

The Rad Blaster is also packing a 1.1 inch OLED screen and 2GB of built-in memory.

OK, so it’s larger than a shuffle but I think it looks a hell of a lot cooler.

Check out the video for some breakdancin to the RB’s beats – or head to the Rad Blaster site and pick one up for $60!

Honda P-NUT is Most Savoury

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

honda-p-nutMmmmmm……….. 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 Auto Show and, like so many other concepts, is specifically designed to be “ideal for use in cities and tight urban areas,” – in other words it’s designed to be stood in traffic and squeeze into parking bays that are actually too small.

Honda has opted for the central driving position option which has been seen before but I’m digging that modular engine slot which means you can take out that battery-powered motor for some old-skool petroleum spirited horses.

I quite like the futurist exterior but when you get into the drivers seat you’ll notice the lack of dials, just a speedometer on a stalk which may be multi-use but the P-NUT uses the windshield as a display for navigation, and can even dish out picture in picture views from the rear camera.

Word is that this is just a concept and is likely to remain so – but would you be proud to tell your buddies in the pub that you arrived in a P-NUT?

It’s all very clever and the folding wheel sequence looks real as well as being a feat of engineering but……….

My dream of owning an Aston Martin may, at least, become attainable – not because I’m on the verge of signing a huge recording contract (wish!!) – Rather, Aston Martin is planning to go from one extreme to another – with the introduction of a tiny city car.
The renowned luxury car maker has [...]
