The Ipevo Chopstakes “are the versatile styli pair that promise an unrivaled level of multitouch capability and fine control for a variety of your iPad applications. You receive not one but two beautifully-crafted multitouch instruments, which act in tandem and are held in both hands. Weighted and shaped just right, Chopstakes are more a natural extension of your own fingers than conventional styli, helping you perform precise multitouch gestures to maximize your sessions with the iPad—for business, for teaching, or for fun.”

Feature Loaded Fujitsu ARROWS Z Smartphone

It’s been awhile since I posted something tech related. Hmm, I guess i was too preoccupied with all things fashion. Lol. Anyway, just today I was hopping about searching for what’s the latest on the smart phone scene when I came across this. You know I prefer to do my ‘window shopping’ online where I’m in a little less danger of heading to the posguys barcode scanner if I stumble across some good buys. At least here I could ogle but think a hundred times before buying.

Love how this looks! And its pretty good that competition among laptop and netbook makers is getting more and more intense. Well, the features are getting more and more amazing as well as the affordable price. A win-win situation for buyers. At least now I won’t need to settle for refurbished laptop computers, I could very well afford to buy a new one with the prices cropping up in the laptop market.

I do wonder when this will be available outside of Korea…

Keith Haring Pop Art LG Optimus Black Cases

Was hanging about one of my favorite sites on the latest Japanese gadgetry and computersAkihabaraNews trying to check out the latest trends in camera’s but this one caught my eye.

I don’t own an LG Optimus Black phone but this cases makes me want to. Why? They are collaborative products from American pop artist Keith Haring and is exclusive for LG’s new Android 2.3 Optimus Black. I like!! I’m into pop art and this ones are unique without being overboard. The cases are said to be available in Europe next week.

Here’s an excerpt from LG’s Press Release:

SEOUL, Feb. 10, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) is making a statement in smartphone design with a collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation. The partnership will see artwork from the legendary American pop artist featured on LG’s Optimus Black, which at just 6 mm (at its thinnest point) and 109 grams, takes the crown as the world’s slimmest and lightest Android-powered smartphone.

“Keith Haring inspired the art world with his energetic, colorful images which are recognized by millions of people around the world,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We hope to capture some of that ‘joie de vivre’ through this partnership as it’s perfectly consistent with our ‘Life’s Good’ philosophy.”

LG and the Keith Haring Foundation have selected two of the artist’s works to create iconic back covers for the LG Optimus Black. This is the second time LG has worked with the foundation — in 2008 LG and the foundation collaborated on the LG KF600 and LG KF700 with the goal of bringing more art into people’s lives.

The Coolest Rickshaw..

Featured at EV Expo 2011 is the Meguru, the first ever EV (electric vehicle) rickshaw. And just about the coolest rickshaw I’ve ever seen. Mainly because its orange. Nah! It’s really a cool concept and this is not a model car or a prototype.

It’s actually one that is now available for you to purchase. Lol! This is something that reminds me of grandparents. But the Meguru would somehow fit a funky, new age grandparents. Now that I think about it, this would make a nice gift. Maybe not the same as Grandparent gifts from personal creations but its unique nonetheless.

This cool rickshaw design is based on the traditional Japanese rickshaw. The Meguru comes with a compact eclectic engine and battery giving enough juice for a 40km range at a 40km/h maximum speed. And is retailing at 100,000 Yen.
