Gadgets

We all have seen Mr.Jetson cruising in the sky in his portable flying saucer but unfortunately in the real World we all are not that lucky though it is not too late to start and for starters there is a Motor Bike. One very brilliant student MR.Truong Minh Nhat from Vietnam whose is enrolled in Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture has made the World’s first (True) portable MotorBike which He has named Capella. Capella is an electric bike and since it is made up of light material it can be carried in a back-pack very easily. Capella has a top speed of 30 kilometer per hour and its battery which can be fully recharged in two hours takes you about 12 kilometers, so performance-wise there is need for more improvement and I am sure Mr. Truong will look into it. Well I know by now all-most all of you are already dreaming to ride this gadget but I am sorry to tell you all this amazing MotorBike is not available anywhere (YET!) but its brilliant inventor Mr.Truong Minh Nhat does have plans to bring his invention to consumers after he has finished making more adjustment in its weight till then I will keep eye on its release.

I am sure most of you have already seem or heard of the pink iPhone surfacing on web for some time and it seems like that it full-fill the dream of many iPhone fans but I hate to tell you all that apple has never or ever will put any pink iphones on production at all but that does not mean that iPhone you have seem on web is fake or photoshoped. This pink iPhone is real and actually exists and is up for biding on ebay. The truth is this pink iPhone is a regular iPhone with a custom Pink back-cover which was available before the release of iPhone 3G was released. All this does raise a question that if this mysterious back-cover will ever be available in other color as well like my favorite BROWN.

SmartMow will cost you about $175 only if you pre-order now if you choose to wait till its official release in spring,09 then it will cost you roughly $700 total. SmartMow is a great product but like similar product in the past be ready to come across some glitches and remember not every robot is perfect (yet).
