Bracelet media player made of e-paper

Jewelry is created notonly to emphasize individuality of a person, but also was worn to be useful to him. Now we simply get lost among a huge variety of rings, beads, bracelets. The company Chocolate Agency has offered the optimum decision with its unusual jewelry. Their multimedia gadget is an unusual bracelet. This gadget in my opinion does not compete with earrings with camera built in but it still a very cool device.

This gadget does not have an ordinary display. Isn’t it perfect? It completely consists of e-paper. Due to its properties the display is thin enough and is also flexible. You can watch favorite movies or the video clips, the only thing you need to do is to unroll the bracelet.

One of the advantages of the submitted gadget is that it will be charged from kinetic energy of the man who carries it. Not sure where those kinetic elements are placed but the idea is pretty cool.

So, the bracelet is compact, interesting with its exceptional characteristics and much more – it looks wonderful as jewelry.

Sony Digital Recorder
By Fred Mealio (Perrin, Texas United States)
For a small recorder, this does a good job, I think that this is a good deal. The price was good and the quality of the unit is better than I was expecting.
I use the recorder to record an open meeting and the pickup is great, I can record someone from across the room as well as someone close by. The software is easy to use and this permits burning to a CD a snap

Great for lessons
We are very pleased with our Sony Digital Voice Recorders. The one we purchased from you is our third, and we received the best price from Amazon. We use them to take to record music lessons. It is very helpful to hear the lesson again "from the outside" so to speak. My son uses his with his French horn and flute lessons, and I with my voice lessons. The sound quality is very good when not using the internal speaker. It is easy to plug into the computer or into my i-Pod speaker system. I have edited and downloaded some lessons onto my i-Pod itself. My husband uses his for dictation and uses it with "Dragon-speak" to transcribe into his Word program.

great product
it's so light and easy to use. i use it to record short interviews. i give the person a set of questions and they record it themselves. no one has had any problems with it and the playback sounds great.

Good Microphone
The microphone works great. I left it on during a meeting in my shirt pocket, was wearing a jacket, and it still picked up the conversation well. The speaker may not be great, but it works just fine for voice recordings.
I gave it four out of five because of the speaker and the styling could be better

Really great recorder
By J.W.
This recorder is really small and easy to use. I love that there aren't any tapes to buy, which is more garbage for the environment. I also highly suggest using RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES, it's good for the environment, and this thing can eat up batteries if you use it often enough.
I haven't tried putting the recordings into my computer since I still have about 20 hours of recording time left (in High Quality mode). This is good for recording lectures. I really like this product so far. I'm not sure if there's a mode where you can hear all your recordings continously because I haven't really read the manual.

The Holux GPSlim236 Wireless GPS Receiver with SiRF-Star-III high sensitivity built-in chipset is an easy-to-use trip-guiding tool. You are able to enjoy brand-new experience in driving with Bluetooth technology of GPS Receiver, and have GPS connection without a cable. It's more convenient and flexible. Enjoy the GPS life!

Failure of Bluetooth means poor choice
Such a promising device. Worked great with Google Maps on my Blackberry right until the Bluetooth stopped working. Many people seem to have this problem and Holux support is non existent.

Still great almost two years after purchase
I purchased the Holux GPSlim 236 almost two years ago and it still works perfectly. I use it [along with iNav iGuidance software] daily and have never had a moments problem. It sits on the dash of my car all day, every day and continues to amaze me with its performance. It initializes quickly and always has enough satellite coverage to find my location. This poor gps receiver has been ABUSED and never gives up. It has been thrown from my dash more than once [during spirited driving] and it still didn't lose its signal. All in all, one of the better tech purchases I have made.

Garmin Forerunner 205 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer

Awesome device for marathon runners
This is a great device. I was shocked by how well it works and all it can do. I no longer have to run on pre-planned routes to keep track of my mileage. I don't have to worry about pace or distance in races that don't have mile markers. All this information is on the watchface and can be uploaded to my computer and permanently stored at the touch of a button. It also keeps track of calories burned and shows your routes in gps format on the computer. It is extremely user-friendly. The only drawback is the size. I have a small wrist and it is kind of heavy. Definitely worth its weight though. I'm sure Garmin is working on this aspect for future models. If there is a distance runner on your X-mas list--this is the ultimate gift.

Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-mounted GPS devices, here comes the Forerunner 205. The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn't just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 205 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we've ever tested. Yes, it's that good. While no device this compact can do everything (yet), the 205 pushes the boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around your wrist. While the 205 doesn't offer heart rate monitoring, or connectivity with Garmin's wireless speed and cadence sensor -- for that, you'll need to step up to the Forerunner 305 -- but it's a great way to get basic GPS location and performance data.

With the Garmin Forerunner 205, form meets function with a sleek and stylish personal trainer. Designed for athletes of all levels, this running partner and personal trainer tracks your every move with a super-sensitive GPS. The GPS tool even works on tree-covered trails and near tall buildings. It continuously monitors your speed, distance, pace and calories burned so you can train smarter, more effectively. Don't let their good looks fool you -- these taskmasters will continually push you to do your personal best. Virtual Partner lets you train against a digital person at specified time, distance or pace goals AutoScroll cycles through data pages during a workout Auto Pause pauses and resumes training timer based on a specified speed Easy to use - No calibration required, just turn it on and go Multi-sport capability lets you transition between sports without resetting -- you can use it for running, biking, and more Customizable screens let you view up to 12 data fields on 3 data screens for immediate feedback Lap Memory - 1,000 laps Rechargeable internal lithium ion battery - life of 10 hours (typical use) Waterproof - Submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 mins. Transfer data from Forerunner to your PC for a detailed analysis of your workout Create, schedule and download workouts to your Forerunner View data for each workout, including your heart rate, time, distance, speed, pat Display Size(WxH) - 1.3 x 0.8 (33 x 20.3 mm) Physical Size(WxHxD) - 2.1 x. 7 x 2.7 (53.3 x 17.8 x 68.6 mm) Weight - 2.72 oz.
