HYmini: portable, renewable power

The HYmini is a portable, renewable power supply that can harness solar and wind power to charge your 5v devices. So, what happens when it isn’t windy nor sunny, you ask? Well, in that case, you can simply blow on the Hymini’s fan turbine like a pinwheel. Or, use the armband kit and run around with it for a while letting the flowing air spin the fan. Just keep running or blowing for about an hour and you’ll get 15 minutes worth of power to your cellphone. But, ideally no manual labor is required. It’s meant to bathe in the sun with it’s solar panel attachment or naturally catch the wind.

The HYmini comes in green, black, or white. The solar panel is sold separately and you can attach up to four of them to a HYmini. The HYmini costs $49.99 with each solar panel costing $24.99. However, you can get the package which includes a Hymini, solar panel, and armband kit for $69.99.

It is a little unfair that the iPod is getting all of the cool looking portable speaker gadgets. But, what about the folks that don’t own iPods? Well, cry no more. Thanks to Intempo’s BTA-01, you can convert those iPod speakers to support your Bluetooth enabled MP3 device, like cellphones and PCs. Simply ‘dock’ the Bluetooth adapter into the iPod speakers and start listening to the tracks off your Bluetooth enabled phone or PC. The Intempo BTA-01 supports Bluetooth 1.2 and has a range of 10 meters.

Cellwatch M500

The Cellwatch M500 is a cellphone watch (as the name implies) that is a triband GSM phone that features a 1.5 OLED touchscreen (with stylus), 128×160 pixel resolution, MP3 audio and MP4 video support, 128 MB of memory, Bluetooth, and USB. The phone also boasts 200 minutes of talk time via a wired headset.

The touchscreen is laughable. I mean, come on. You’d have to have tiny fingers to “touch” those on-screen menu buttons. My own finger would end up touching half the screen and I have pretty small fingers. I know there’s a stylus, but who would want to carry a stylus for your watch? Also, what happens if I don’t want to use a headset? Do I have to speak directly into the watch and look like a complete douche bag?

If that doesn’t concern you, the Cellwatch M500 costs $999.99 AUD, so around $899 USD.
