Combat Attire Vibrating - Looks a Bit Creepy

Ruhani Rabin — Thu, 01 Jun 2006 17:54:23 +0000

This is some sort of vibrating haptic combat vest that will alert you to the state of your comrades in battle and might even be able to sense incoming enemies. It looks a bit creepy though when you think about the feeling. What came to my mind… Maybe soon these will be implemented in the combat video games so you can imagine you'll get alerts and realistic shocked feelings on your skin on attacks. But the next morning you wake up with pain in the whole body. Hmm..

DefenseTech.org describes it as:

“If the unit commander has the information about which team members are walking, running, standing, prone, kneeling, and/or firing weapons, he will be able to make well informed critical decisions based on a significantly better understanding of the situation at any given time. Even with the lack of physiological monitoring, these data could indicate potential causalities (e.g., prone, no movement, not firing). Additionally, direction of enemy, ammunition depletion, and severity of enemy engagements could be ascertained.”

hey were also thinking about attaching something to a soldier’s tongue which is even grosser. A fascinating work-around for information overload.

Not all gadgets are affordable. But sure you can have your own if you look for the ones can meet your prices. SciFi blogs has published an exclusive review on which gadgets you can afford. Worth a Look.

…it's time to stop playing Trump and return to this thing called "reality." This decidedly thriftier zone isn't such a bad place, since there are plenty of gadgets out there priced for the everyman (and his poorer cousin, the college student). And inexpensive isn't the same a cheap. Shopping on the discount side of tech doesn't necessarily mean you have to compromise on your gadgets' features, as our frugal selections prove.

Sony NW-E005 flash drive Walkman

Ruhani Rabin — Thu, 25 May 2006 17:47:09 +0000

the NW-E005 comes in versions from 512MB to 2GB, and comes in a range of colors. But Sony has added one key feature: the new model now supports the AAC file format, which Sony is in the process of adding to all new players. As previously mentioned, although AAC is the default format used by iTunes, these players won't be able to play any DRM-protected iTunes downloads. However, if you've ripped CDs into AAC using iTunes, you will be able to play them back in the NW-E005 without having to convert them into another format first. Sony's also rolled out a waterproof case for this player, though we'd still be a little wary of taking it into the shower or pool.

Nokia 770 features Google Talk

Ruhani Rabin — Sat, 13 May 2006 20:31:36 +0000

Wall Street Journal has confirmed that the included VoIP app will indeed be, as we anticipated, Google Talk. Unfortunately this means that the device will still be unable to call regular phone numbers out of the box, although G Talk members will at least be able to chat among themselves for free. The WSJ is also reporting (only to its subscribers, not to us) that sources close to Nokia have said that the new device will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, and sell for around $390 when it hits stores.
