MBT’s stand at Gadget Show Live 2009 was about a different kind of Mobile tech – that is, making YOU more Mobile! IN case you are not familiar with MBT, it stands for Masai Barefoot Technology – and the USP (Unique Selling Point!) is that the tread of the shoe is curved – making for…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Loc8tor
You might be wondering what the Loc8tor is – but those savvy amongst might have figured that the name is a giveaway, and it’s about finding stuff – wirelessly! The Loc8tor system is a small transmitter you attached to your prize items, and then a receiver which had directional guidance to find the transmitter –…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Truecall
Now you know not all Telecom tech has to Mobile – sometimes, you gotta look closer to home to see where improvements can be made. For example, I wrote a piece the other day about why Home (landline) phone technology is seemingly 10 years behind where Mobiles are today. Another irritation of course are that…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Vuzix!
I was really pleased when I found out my favourite Video eyewear company were going to be at Gadget Show Live 2009 – Vuzix have such a great set of products that I thought they would be busy – but nothing prepared me for this! The stand was absolutely beseiged – and I mean rammed…
The five-minute fiddle: Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket for iPhone
So at the Gadget Show Live 2009 today, I visited the Skullcandy stand – and was given some “Full Metal Jacket” headphones, that work specifically with the iPhone. They have quite a distinctive design, as you can see from the pic above. They have some impressive specs also: Think FMJ audio superiority with a new…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Skullcandy
Skullcandy had one of the most impressive stands at the Gadget Show Live 2009 – tall, lots of colour, lots of product, and a DJ! Oh yes, he was mixing up a storm, and doing it on mostly Vinyl! Old Skool 🙂 Anyhoo, on to the vast range of headphones that Skullcandy had on show…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Gtrek II
Gtrek were one of the smaller vendors showing their wares at the Gadget Show Live 2009 – but they did bring something cool with them – the Gtrek II! What is it, you might ask? Well: Gtrek monitors your movement and allows you to create a highly detailed graphical record of where you have been.…
Gadget Show Live 2009: BlackBerry
Another one of the big names at the Gadget Show Live 2009 was RIM with the BlackBerry brand. They brought a whole host of wall-mounted devices, all on quite a funky stand. There wasn’t anything new on show from what I could see – it was more about widening the BlackBerry profile to be a…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Garmin
Following on from Will’s post just now, and because I also visited the stand today, I’ll give a quick mention to Garmin! In addition to a wide product portfolio of Sat Nav devices, they also have two Mobile devices – the M20 and G60. The M20 is the Windows-powered device, the G60 is special cut…
Gadget Show Live 2009: Fatman!
I wandered past one stand today which had a major bit of Apple-integration – namely that of Fatman! What is Fatman – well best let them explain! Launched in the autumn of 2006, Fatman has quickly established its reputation for producing some of the best performing audio systems for use with Apple’s iPod, or indeed…
