Hydrofill MiniPak Will Recharge Your Gadgets With Water – Free Green Electricity

by Jay Garrett on January 10, 2010

We’ve all surely wished we could recharge our gadgets at the turn of a tap.

Free, water based batteries would be a genius move.

Well, Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies from Singapore has just the thing – the Hydrofill MiniPak.

The Hydrofill MiniPak gadget charger was flashed around at CES and, as its name suggests, is designed to charge a range of gadgety gizmos via a USB hydrogen fuel cell.

This clever charger extracts the hydrogen from water and stores it in special cartridges, which are then placed inside the Hydrofill MiniPak. The Hydrofill charger also gets the green thumbs up as the only waste product is water vapour.

Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies are expected to start selling the Hydrofill MiniPak before the end of 2010.

Google Branded Netbook Packing Chrome OS Coming Soon – Google Hardware

by Jay Garrett on December 17, 2009

google_chrome_osHot on the heels of the Google branded Nexus One smartphone comes the news that they’re going to be dishing out their own 3G enabled netbook!

Apparently “multiple sources” are saying that Google has been talking to at least one hardware manufacturer about building a netbook that Google itself could sell directly.

These ’sources’ claim that the big G is aiming for Christmas 2010 for the netbook’s release and that they’d be built and branded by Google and then shipped directly to consumers.

It kinda makes sense when you look at the facts – the source code for Chrome OS was recently released, Acer is planning a Chrome OS netbook for mid 2010 and Google looks to be heading into hardware.

What do you think?
