Meet the $199 Kindle Fire
Amazon hosted a big press conference today where they showed the brand new full color Kindle tablet called ‘Kindle Fire’. It looks pretty interesting even though it’s not as technically advanced as for instance an iPad 2. And the best thing with the Kindle Fire is that it’s very cheap. Only $199 for a very capable 7 inch full color tablet. Read more about it over at Amazon.

Smartfish Engage – ergonomic keyboard
If you spend most of your days typing you might be interested in checking out this new keyboard from Smartfish called the ‘Engage‘. It sure looks ergonomical and is developed in collaboration with a NY Orthopedic Hospital. Check out the press release after the jump.

Over at Brookstone you can find this neat little pillow featuring a built-in remote control. You simply press on the desired function on the pillow. The pillow works with over 500 devices and it’s powered by 2 AAA batteries. It’s yours for US$29.95 and it’s really hard to lose.

MacBook Air Project
This is a pretty cool project built using a ‘broken’ MacBook Air, the new Magic Trackpad and a keyboard. It’s basically a computer inside the keyboad, just like the old C64, Spectrum or Amiga. Neat project!

iPhone 2G/3G/3GS/4 Speed Comparison
Here’s an interesting video featuring the four latest iPhone models (2G/3G/3GS/4) running a few different apps and tasks. The iPhone 4 is of course the fastest model and the difference in some of the tests compared to the iPhone 3G/2G is very big! (8.5 vs 25.7 seconds to load the Plants vs Zombies game).

Jays a-Jays Three unboxing
I decided to get a new pair of headphones for my new iPhone and went for Jays new a-Jays. They come in three different versions and I went for the ‘Three’ package to get the travel case, stereo splitter and the airline adapter. A review will come in the next few days but since the packaging is quite cool I’ll share a few unboxing shots.
The Magic Trackpad
Yes, this is a week old, but since I’ve been on vacation I’m just catching up a bit on the news. One of the coolest things that has been launched during the week got to be the the magic trackpad. It’s a small device that is placed next to your keyboard and will let you use multi-touch gestures on your desktop as well. It’s only $69 and you can buy one in your local Apple store or online.

iOS in BMW
BMW is taking the iPod integration to the next level by integrating the new ‘iPod out’ in upcoming BMW models. As you can see in the video it’s a quite nice integration!
Wrench UBS drive
For $20 you can get this nice little wrench shaped USB drive. It measures 86 x 26 x 7mm and weighs 45grams. One more photo inside.
Micro Sim Cutter for iPhone 4 / iPad
As you know the iPhone 4 is using the smaller ‘micro sim’ card and at least in Sweden it’s currently hard to get hold of these as iPhone (and iPad) are some of the first units that only can be used with the micro sim. But there’s a solution to that. By using a micro sim cutter you can convert your sim to a micro sim in just a few seconds. You can get the micro sim cutter for $25.
