Sony Ericsson Aino reviewed
Thanks to Tony who got in touch with us about whether we knew the Sony Ericsson Aino would be arriving the UK for this Christmas. Unfortunately having just checked, we don’t think there is any sign of this happening with any of the UK’s networks. However it does appear to be available as a sim free phone for a one-off purchase price in excess of £380 quid at a certain online shopping site which begins with “a”. Is this pricing worth it though? We think many have the misconception of considering the Aino as a potential “PlayStation phone”. The Sony Ericsson Aino as we mentioned in a previous post, it boasts a keypad with an intuitive touch UI for use with media. Its onboard intuitive media browser gives users a clear overview and one touch direct access to their content. With an 8.1-megapixel camera, automatic syncing with a home computer via MediaGo and Remote Play from a Playstation 3, the Aino should be the all-in-one multimedia hub.

Wi-Fi Scale Posts Your Weight Details On Twitter
Withings has just unveiled their latest product — a Wi-Fi-enabled scale. Aside from calculating your body weight, body mass index, and lean and fat mass, it’ll also Tweet the results for you.
Now why would you want to Tweet your weight details to the rest of the world? Well, research has proved that the more closely you keep track of your weight loss (or gain), the more likely you are to stick to the program and actually achieve your fitness goals. Sort of a Biggest Loser kind of psychology.
Of course, you can choose to have the Wi-Fi scale on its own without the Tweeting capability — it’s actually only an option you can enable to help you stay on track. When you have a permanent database of your progress that could stretch into years, it can be a powerful tool to motivate yourself — and your followers, if they’re on the same fitness boat as you.
But you might want to avoid the Tweeting aspect if you’re on your fitness regimen on your own — otherwise the number of your followers will drop with your pounds

Vizit digital photo frame
Isabella Products, Inc. and AT&T have teamed up to announce a brand new two-way, fully interactive digital photo frame in the industry which will be simply known as Vizit, where it will be running on the AT&T wireless network for all its connectivity needs. What is Vizit able to do? Well, for starters, it allows people to not only send but receive digital photos over the air while combining it with an easy-to-use interface, real time photo sharing, a full-touch interactive display and remote photo management from VizitMe.com. This special amalgamation of touch-screen technology, proprietary software and cellular connectivity offers a rich, yet effortless, photo sharing experience. We can expect Vizit to hit the market sometime early next year, which isn’t exactly swell news since that would mean missing out on the holiday shopping season this Christmas.
Relying fully on AT&T’s nationwide wireless network when it comes to sending and receiving photos, users are able to do so directly from the Vizit itself to friends and family via email or over to another Vizit, allowing you to build a private community of friends and family who are open to sharing their lives with a close circle at all times. This brings the photo sharing concept to a totally new level, where those who have access to Vizit are able to know what’s happening at that very moment – without having to wait for you to sort through and process a whole bunch of photos stashed away on your memory card. Sort of like a visual Twitter, so to speak.
Features of the Vizit include a 10.4″ high resolution touchscreen display complete with easy-to-use icons and an intuitive carousel menu that allows you to navigate through photos in a jiffy. You can create your own photo slideshows if you want to, rotate or enlarge them to fill up the entire screen. Each time new photos arrive, you can send replies back to the sender or forward said photos to other family and friends. You will require a monthly or annual photo plan to go along with the inital $279.99 price point, of course.

The Vertical Bed lets you literally sleep standing up
Imagine walking the streets of New York City and seeing this guy. If you were a true New Yorker, you would probably just walk on by, assuming you even noticed him in the first place.
As an “out-of-towner”, I probably would just assume that this man had some disability that required im to wear metal braces on his neck and…backside, and would probably not ask him about it.
Actually, this man is asleep. That’s right, he is on the Vertical Bed, and all those braces are designed to attach to an ordinary subway grating. This very tired chap tried it out in NYC, and he actually got forty good minutes of shut-eye.
Personally, I think this is the sign of the times. I mean, I have taken naps on libraries, coffee houses, and other public places that are not ideal for napping, but I would have to be very tired in order to consider this vertical napping accessory.
Honestly, I just don’t think that humans were meant to sleep standing up like horses. Not only that, but what is prevent pickpockets from robbing these easy targets?
This Vertical bed is just a concept for now, but it comes with noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, and a free-standing umbrella. It is all made to fit compactly into the suitcase that you see attached to the standing napper.

CanCam lets your soda do the watching
We at Coolest Gadgets are no stranger to seemingly ordinary items that conceal spy cameras. The most recent was the fake car key from Brando. This one is very unusual, as it is a can of Coke, something that I would never suspect would try to film me.
This CanCam has 4GB worth of memory to record VGA quality video that can support 15 hours of continuous recording. As you can see, the lens is located slightly below the logo.
The on and off switch is located underneath the can itself, as well as the record button. There is a USB port there to help charge the camera, and is presumably there to download the video footage as well. It even has a remote control for even more secrecy.
You could leave this on your desk all day and feel comfortable knowing that all the actions of your co-workers will be under surveillance. Unless someone comes and looks too close, no one will ever know.
Of course, I’m sure people will probably wonder why someone has the same Coke can on their desk 24/7. I can’t help but wonder if the weight of the CanCam feels the same as a full can of soda, because that could easily ruin the effect.
If you want to see it for yourself, the CanCam can be purchased at the China Grabber website for a price of about $61.99.
