Nokia announces N810

The Internet tablet idea was pretty groovy when it was introduced in the form of Nokia’s 770 Internet tablet a couple of years ago - after all, having a device that surfs the Web wirelessly while supporting email, Internet radio, an RSS news reader, an image viewer and media playback capability certainly sounds like a dream. Fast forward a couple of years later, you would probably think that such a device is actually a cellphone, hence doing away with the need for something like the Nokia 770. Or is it? Apparently Nokia thinks otherwise, releasing the N810 Internet tablet that essentially does the same thing as before, save for updated hardware to keep up with the times. It seems that the target market are casual Internet users who want to browse the Web while commercials are being shown, or for those who need to check their email without having to lug around a laptop wherever they go. More on the Nokia N810 after the jump.

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.
