Casio isn’t the first company to try to connect a watch to a smartphone, but I’ve got high hopes about the prototype they’re showing off this year. Its new Bluetooth Low Energy system promises a battery life of two years.
If we were given Casio’s Prizm calculators in maths class, perhaps I wouldn’t have failed so dismally. Or maybe I would’ve got even worse marks – spending the 60 minutes of every class searching for Solitaire and Minesweeper.
Having a camera that knows where you take your pictures is cool, but typically it only works under an open sky. Casio’s EXILIM EX-H20G point-and-shoot has a hybrid GPS system that effectively keeps track of you even when you’re indoors.

Here is an excellent video of the greatest smashes, spins and spark-ups from this year’s RoboGames, recorded at 300fps with a Casio Exilim EX-F1. It’s like Planet Earth, but instead of funky little bugs it’s funky little battle bots.
The moments that make our weekend adventures and sports amazing happen so fast, you’ve no hope of catching them at 30fps. Which is why I wish someone made a high-speed, rugged point and shoot.
Nobody is going to share the murky photos from the DSi’s integrated camera, so why not hack a classic DS to become a controller for a dSLR?
