Walkstation gives you a workout

Not at a gym, mind you, but at work itself. This standing height desk is hooked up to a treadmill, helping you burn up additional calories while you’re trying to be productive for your boss. One thing’s for sure - either sweat absorbing and fast drying business suits will be all the rage in the upcoming fashion season, or most people will go to work in the gym attire should the Walkstation actually catch on big time. My guess is neither, as only a select few will take advantage of this unique multi-tasking office furniture. It will retail for $6,500 when released - and unless you use it regularly instead of going to the gym, you probably won’t see a very positive ROI on this one.

RESCUE Project to help emergency personnel

The Responding to Crises and Unexpected Events (RESCUE) Project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and aims to improve response to disasters and emergencies while keeping injuries to a minimum, with the ultimate goal to prevent any loss of life. I must say the suit the person is wearing looks rather spiffy as though he stepped out from some sort of Star Trek convention, and chances are everything will need to be waterproof just in case rescue work needs to be carried out when it is raining. Gotta love the wearable keyboard on his right hand. Further details from the press release are available after the jump.

Boblee Solar protects and charges iPod

Just in case you were wondering what the optimal iPod case would look like, perhaps the Boblbee Solar fits the bill. You not only get protection against knocks and scratches (with it being shockproof), it is also waterproof, letting you listen to your favorite tunes even when its raining (although I’d advise against that since you never know when lightning might strike). Built-in solar panels also help convert solar energy into power that can be used to charge your iPod.
There is currently no word on pricing or availability.

Talking beer glasses

One of the most helpful gadgets of this year must be considered the Talking Beer Glass. Why?
Remember yourself watching the Yankee's semifinal, when the tension is very strong? You lift your glass of beer for a sip, and you understand there is no beer left.

You must be thinking you wish you had a talking beer glass and VOILA... The talking beer glass is available now, and you will never ever again run out of beer. The glass is based on a volume sensor, and as your beer volume falls down you will hear the words “Your beer is running dangerously low”, “Refill immediately –danger of sobering out” and after all “Cheers”.

So don’t ever let your friend and yourself miss the last minutes of the game, while looking for another bottle beer in your fridge, buy the magical talking beer glass.
