CES 2009: LG showing off prototype LG-GD910 watch-phone hybrid device
When I was a wee nipper, I used to talk into my watch and imagine that my friends could hear me. They invariably couldn’t, which is probably just as well, but perhaps someone heard me, and now they work for LG. The LG-GD910 is basically a phone that you wear on your wrist.
As you can imagine, there’s not much in the way of features – “you can wear it on your wrist” being top of the pile. Additionally, though, it’s waterproof, weighs 85 grams, and has voice calling, text to speech, and stereo Bluetooth, which officially makes it better than the iPhone, in one category at least. It’ll have three real buttons, a touchscreen, and weigh 85g. Due for release “this year”.

Jeep Renegade concept hybrid is straight outta Halo
This isn’t just a “bit like” Halo 3’s Warthog multi-personnel deathwagon, it’s practically identical. The same big wheels. The same front end. The same roofless design. The same low-profile active camouflage green. The same cut-away back bit for angry space marines to stand on and fire turret guns into the vulnerable cargo bays of attacking alien spaceships.
VentureOne three-wheeler hybrid car available in 2009
Hybrid cars are getting a huge look-in at the moment on Tech Digest, and with environmentalism becoming bigger and more important in technology with every passing year, expect to see more of them.
This VentureOne hybrid car comes from Venture Vehicles, and whilst it’s still the same size of a Mini Cooper, it only has three-wheels and is completely environmentally-green. Able to squeeze in two passengers…
Work those leg muscles with a bicycle/lawnmower combo
Wow, I’m really unearthing the crazy inventions this morning, what with the previous story on the flying car, and now these bicycle/lawnmower hybrids. Unlike the PAL-V car however, I can really see the use for one of these bikes.
Not that I’ve ever mowed the lawn of course, I was much too lazy when I lived at home, preferring instead to be inside with the curtains drawn, playing Tony Hawk for hours on end, but I remember my Mum coming in after several hours’ lawnmowing…
Zink announces camera/printer hybrid and standalone printer
Zink, an American company we’ve been hearing a little about in recent months, has finally confirmed two of their first products they’ll be launching shortly, and I must say, I’m sceptical as to whether they’ll be successful or not. Previous companies such as Fujifilm and Olympus have tried converging cameras and printers together, and not made much of a splash in the market…
