Love Gadgets? Love the Web? (Part 2)

So here we go, an update of the latest gadgets over the last 3 months since my last entry.


Neural Impulse Activator

“Heralding a new era in gaming”, their words not mine, the OCZ nia is a new approach to gaming. Currently working with many released games ( Unreal is the most well known) the headband works in tandem with your mouse to give you better reaction times when eliminating alien races.

Apparently with “ no-gel required” it will translate the electrical biosignals of your body directly into computer commands to take advantage of total immersion into game play.

Wi-Fi T-Shirt
Not new but worth a mention, these wi-fi enabled t-shirts light up when in range of a wireless network. I know only a handful of people brave (or just not with it) enough to wear one.

Super Slim Hard Disks

Samsung, the people behind the ultra slim hard disks inside the Macbook Air and Ipod, have released the disks for sale as an independent peripheral device, albeit only in the Far East at the moment.

Not much bigger then a credit card, the devices are pricey (to be expected) and range from a cheap 20GB version for $45 through to a more established 120GB verion for $300.
