Chapit! Cute name and so much suitable with the appearance of the intelligent domestic robot from Rayton. It can help you turn on the usual electric or electronic devices such as TV, aircon and what not. Sounds helping rite.
Chapit also capable of "learn" up to 10.000 vocab.. wow! One more... Internet ready.. hehe

"..one of the biggest advantages of the Chapit is the capacity to recognize a man, woman or child without any programmation"

Now thats what I called, "CCTV". Equipped with "extra" security to keep the "bad-guys" away. But this is not for real. Kudos to the designer, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. But make sure it won't lose easily as it would become "owners" greatest nightmare.

... this setup consists of “144 robotic fluorescent light fixtures controlled by 7 computerized surveillance systems”. The light tubes continually rotate to create “patterns of light that are ‘paths’ or ‘corridors’” as persons walk underneath.

When two or more people are detected, the system rotates the fixtures so that “light corridors” are created between them. As many people walk in the court, the light reflect the influence of all of them creating complex patterns similar to isobars. Every few minutes, the system enters an “interlude mode” showing random orthogonal arrangements

This gorgeous limited edition black Xbox 360 will soon be release by Microsoft.(Somewhere in Q4 2007) So, still got time to fork out around $480 for it.
Mom, I want one!

* The Elite will be limited quantities only; that may be as much or as little as a couple hundred thousand.
* The case, controller, and Live headset will all be black. It will have all new packaging.
* Elite will cost $479, and will be a 3rd SKU; it will be sold alongside Premium and Core packs.
* Eventually Elite hardware (in white plastics) will take the role of the Xbox Premium. That is to say, after the Elite is launched and sold out, future Xbox Premiums will have 120GB / HDMI.
* We do not yet know exactly when 120GB / HDMI will become the standard for Premium, but it is loosely estimated to be late summer or fall.
* Elite models run cooler than normal 360s, but they are not yet confirmed to have 65nm chips.
* Prices may remain the same with the 120GB / HDMI hardware upgrade in the Premium Xbox, but we may still see a price cut on the line when 65nm chips start shipping.
* The HD DVD drive will not be internal or bundled -- Microsoft never did or nor does not currently have plans to put an HD DVD drive in the 360.
* There are no current plans to integrate WiFi into the Elite or future Premiums (although that can always change).

Awesomely designed by the talented Pavel Balykin.This watch uses LED display technology to make you wow!
But, this is only a concept(as for now). :(

"In the screensaver mode, the watch works like a conventional sand clock with the display showing the "electronic sand" falling from the top screen to the bottom. The rate of fall is set at a default of one minute but can be changed by the user. For those not too keen to have this sand clock display at all times, there is the modern digit mode that shows the hour and minute information as digits in the top and bottom screens respectively."

This is what you can get from a combination of GSM mobile phone & GPS. The Globalsat!
Cute but it'll be better if the antenna is removed, rite?

"The advantage is that you can automatically send its location by either text message or phone call just by hitting one of the three predial keys or by ringing/texting it remotely."

Available in the UK for £149.98 ($290) from Maplin, which claims it works all over the world.(hopefully)

Wow. Another must have for my "dreams". Remember to pair it with your ICE (preferably by Sony of course) such as NV-XYZ777(source) to get things do correctly.
Price?

A remote is coming with the 830g device and usual dimensions of 178x126x30mm.
It will be yours for 105.000YEN (685EUR) on march 20.

Within your pocket distance? Tempted but not yet for me. :)
