Mmmm…nothing like eating food with food. And until Hershey’s begins manufacture of ChocoWare, the potato-sourced SpudWare eating utensils look like the next best thing. Constructed from 80% potato starch and 20% soy oil, the SpudWare is just as strong and resistant to heat as its plastic counterpart. That means it’s only partially disposable.
To hell with paper—save the trees! Sony has already got us thinking along the right path, and now Centon Electronics is releasing Webster’s New World College dictionary, with 160,000 entries, on a USB flash drive. The perk here is the dictionary will be available on either a 2GB or 4GB flash drive at $US42.99 and $US64.99, respectively. As only 140MB is used to store all those sexy words, the extra space is yours to use and abuse. The asking prices may be a tad steep, but that’s the price you pay to look cool and have a dictionary on your USB stick. Save the trees, man. [Product Page via Oh Gizmo via Uberreview]
The Gadget: Belkin Sport Armband Plus. It’s Belkin’s newest iPod armband for exercising (we tested with 3G Nano).
The Price: $29.99
The Verdict: We’re quite happy after a week of use with the Sport Armband Plus. Constructed of a high quality, wet suitesque material, the band sticks well to your skin—but absolutely perfectly after a few minutes of working out.
We all know that Tokyo is a gadget lover’s paradise, but it just became the hippest hang out on Earth, thanks to the Jicoo Floating Bar. As Adam is off to Japan, we thought he’d need somewhere cool to chill, so Frucci; check out the oldie but goodie Floating Bar. The impressive vessel is styled in the fashion of a hulking great spaceship, and it reminds us of the lives as astronauts we gave up to become bloggers. Check out the gallery below.
From CompuLab, the Fit-PC is a tiny, no frills Linux PC that uses a mere 5W of power to operate. That’s one-fifth what some computers burn in standby. And the specs may be better than you’d expect. An AMD Geode processor runs at 500 MHz, supported by 256MB DDR memory (non-expandable), 40GB 2.5″ hard drive and SXGA graphics controller. And none of that needs fans to cool. The inclusion of 2 USB ports mean that the Fit-PC will actually work with normal peripherals…though we’re not certain how much power those ports will supply your devices.
