Webcams are a basic computer must have for most computer users. They have become something that most people want so much that many computer makers have starting building them into the laptops they sell. For the most part, webcams have been thought of as something that allows you to see your family and friend when you are chatting to them. Well now, thanks to Dropcam, webcams have been brought up to a higher level with more features.

Dropcam has not only live feed but also a DVR function making it perfect for using as home security system. The DVR function will record all video that is taken and keeps it for reviewing at a later time. To review this video all you have to do is plug Dropcam into a wall outlet. The user can connect to the Internet through an Ethernet or WiFi connection. The Dropcam itself weighs 3 ounces and is about an inch thick. The recording time capacity of the webcam depends on the monthly package you purchase. There is a basic package that is free but with no video storage. The Dropcam comes with motion sensing ability. The Dropcam home security webcam will cost you $199 plus whichever monthly package you choose.

When someone says Dyson, everyone knows about all the types of vacuums that they make. Now they are moving into a new market of home devices. Dyson has moved into making a revolutionary fan. This fan is the Dyson Air Multiplier.

The Air Multiplier offers a highly efficient non-buffeting fan replacement. The unique thing about this fan is that it is bladeless. It works because of a turbine that pulls in air through the base. That air is then ejected at 55 mph through a tiny slit around the edge of the ring. The air pulls more air through because of friction. This results in about 15 times more energy efficiency. The Dyson Air Multiplier has about the same noise level than a regular fan. This fan is safer to use than a regular fan because it doesn’t have blade that can accidentally hit with fingers. The Dyson fan does come with a hefty price tag that depends on which type of Air Multiplier fan you choose. There are five different fans available which are a tower fan, pedestal fan, 12 inch table fan, 10 inch table fan in white and silver and a 10 inch table fan in iron and blue. These range in price from $299.99 to $449.99 and can be found on the Dyson website.

Google has delivered on its promise to produce their very own mobile phone. With the help of HTC the Nexus One was produced using much of the same technology found on many of the Android phones. So what makes the Nexus One better than previous Androids? Well for starters the screen has been greatly improved with the AMOLED display that has greater pixel resolution then previous Androids and is very nice to look at. 

The design of the phone is very stylish and comparable in size and shape to the iPhone. When talking on your Nexus One the screen automatically goes dark to avoid anything on the screen from being accidentally hit. A 5-megapixel camera now comes with a LED flash that is not commonly found on Android phones. Voice recognition on the phone has also been improved to include the ability to text, email, and get directions with the power of your voice. The only problem is you will have to talk a bit slower then normal in order for the phone to properly recognize what you are saying. Thanks to the improved processing power of Snapdragon and the larger 1GHz processor the Nexus One runs much quicker and more smoothly then previous Android phones. With this faster hardware everything on the Nexus One runs much better. By placing two microphones on the phone, one on the bottom and one on the back, there is better noise cancellation technology. For example while you are talking on your phone if the background noise increases your phone will automatically readjust the volume to increase so you can still hear your conversation. The same is true if the background noise decreases.

Overall the Nexus One is currently the best Android phone on the market, just don’t get to excited about the technology since nothing really revolutionary has been added to this phone.

Undeniably the most anticipated smart phone soon to be on the market the iPhone4 is once again revolutionizing the way we connect with people. Tech blogs everywhere were discussing for months all the possible new additions the iPhone would have to offer, and when Steve Jobs officially announced the iPhone4 earlier this month, they were far from disappointed.

Beginning with the new Retina display the iPhone4 now offers more pixels then the human eye can even detect. A new 5-megapixel camera with a LED flash has finally been added to the new iPhone as well. The iPhone4 also can capture 720p HD video that lets you record and actually edit your video right on your iPhone with iMovie.  In addition to the new HD capable video camera there are now cameras located on the front and back of the iPhone4. This creates one of the most exciting new uses for the phone called FaceTime where users can make live video calls using both the front and back cameras. This allows for a whole new way of connecting with people and the social implications of this new technology are endless.

To make the iPhone even thinner then before a new type of steel was engineered specially for the iPhone. The steel frame wraps around the entire phone and also acts as the antenna as well! Even the cover was changed to include a glass cover that has been custom made to be 30% stronger then plastic and is located not only on the front of the phone but the back as well! Previous models of the iPhone did not allow for users to switch between multiple apps and program and this was a huge complaint but multitasking is now a reality on the iPhone! The iPhone4 continues to be simplistic and easy to use yet full of the newest and most advanced technology.

As the world pushes for more green ways of accomplishing everyday tasks, new devices are being developed. Since there are thousands, if not millions, of cell phones being used all over the world everyday, that means that there are thousands of people charging their phones everyday. Now there is a greener solution to plugging in your phone charger to the wall. You can now use the power of your feet to charge your phone.

The Orange Power Wellies (which are rubber boots) are what make this possible. The great thing about these boots is that you will always be able to charge your mobile phone, no matter how remote an area you might be in. The Orange Power Wellies work by collecting heat in the soles as you walk and use that to charge your phone later. The reason this works is that when the heat interacts with the cold ground it creates electricity. The collection of heat is known as the Seebeck effect. These boots are a collaboration between Orange and GotWind. With the Orange Power Wellies you will never be left in the middle of nowhere with a dead mobile phone battery.

This funky new bath tub toy/accessory that will make bath time even more fun. This is great for kids who don’t normally want to take a bath or think it is boring. The Underwater Light Show can alter you or adapt into different moods. Since people are in different moods each day, the Underwater Light Show has five different lighting effects. There is also a random color changing light effect that can turn your bathroom into a dance floor. This fascinating bathroom accessory comes along with a flashing single color and constant pattern with all four color effects. This accessory uses LED lights with a waterproof Perspex shell housing allowing it to be placed anywhere in the bathroom, even in the bath tub. It runs on batteries and is simple to turn on and off. Now you can have your own little disco in your bathroom.

Have you ever wondered what type of writing utensils the astronauts use in space? Now you have the answer and can own one for yourself. This is thanks to Spacetec Zero Gravity pen.

With this pen, you can use it just about anywhere you might have to write something down. The Spacetec Zero Gravity pen has been chosen by NASA because of its performance in Zero G environments and was on its first space mission in 1965. This pen will also work in extreme cold, down to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Now only will it work in the extreme cold it will also work in extreme heat (up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit), underwater, over grease and upside down. This pen will write longer, cleaner and more consistently than just about any other pen you will ever own. With leaks and evaporation taken out of the picture, this pen can sit on a desk for centuries and still write like it was new. With the Spacetec Zero Gravity pen you can write just as the astronauts write on the International Space Station.
