Do you have trouble keeping track of whether you’ve walked your dog, fed it, or given it any medication? Well, if you’re that forgetful, you’ll probably want to rely on the wonders of technology to help you take care of your dog. The Dog-e-Minder is a waterproof, three-button device that you can hang around your pet’s collar, and it’ll help you keep track of whether you’ve fed, walked, or given it medication. Once you’ve done any of those tasks, you just have to hold down the corresponding button for 3 seconds, and it’ll record it down. Of course, you could probably achieve the same result with a notepad and a pen, but your dog wouldn’t carry those around for you, right? The price of forgetfulness is $19.95 in this case, so it’s up to you to decide whether you need to pay it.

Adapt has sent word that they will be rolling out the ADPP-450 micro projector in March, where this tiny wonder boasts 100 lumens of brightness as well as 800 x 600 resolution, a 200:1 contrast ratio, DVB-T support and the ability to throw images of up to 150" in size. At that blown up proportion, we wouldn't think the image would look very good if you're talking about watching movies, but text and pie charts should do just fine. Despite being possibly the world's brightest micro projector, it will still require a fairly dark room to impress. This LED-based projector comes with a built-in 4 watt speaker and is capable of accepting A/V, VGA, USB and a SD memory card. No idea on pricing, but since its battery is external, you will need to lug around an extra device on your travels.

Netgear's latest MBRN3300 is the result of a collaboration with Ericsson, where the device is capable of using an internal 3G modem which includes HSPA+ at roughly 20Mbps, while sharing that link via either 802.11n Wi-Fi or through a quartet of 100Mbps Ethernet ports - it all depends on what your home network setup is like. Both Ericsson and Netgear is priming the MBRN3300 for households where regular cable, DSL or fiber isn't available, as well as those who rely on completely mobile local networks. Heck, you can juice it up with you wherever you go in a car, thanks to the optional car charger and a battery pack that does not need a traditional plug. No idea on its pricing since Netgear hopes to make the MBRN3300 available from various telco carriers.

Not everyone is able to upgrade their notebook every couple of years to keep up with the latest and the greatest, so if you're still on a computing boneshaker and want to play games on it while viewing all its past graphical glory on a HDTV, then the Atlona AT-HDVieW ought to be your cup of tea. Powered via USB, it will take both VGA and 3.5mm audio by merging their signals together, sending the resulting output at 1080p via HDMI. On the plus side, the scaler/converter will communicate with your HDTV so that the right output resolution is achieved just in case 1080p looks weird. Looks like a no-brainer of a device which retails for a mere $120.

Elecom has a couple of new memory card readers available in Japan - the USB-style MR-A001BK as well as the cable-type MR-A002 series. The former is capable of handling up to 10 different types of memory cards, including the latest SDXC format which maxes out at a whopping 64GB, while the MR-A002 series plays around with 32 different types of media including SDXC, alongside the Memory Stick range from Sony sans an adapter. Design-wise, there is nothing much to shout about although we're pretty happy with them in terms of practicality. After all, isn't it better to be prepared than get caught with your pants down?

Handheld has rolled out its Algiz 7 rugged tablet that is able to take its fair share of knocks while getting on just fine without missing a beat. After all, it features plus IP65 and MIL-STD 810G ruggedness, running on Windows 7 Professional while featuring a 7" widescreen tablet display, with an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor running within. The Algiz 7 also sports a 64GB SSD as well as 2GB of RAM, coupled with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS navigation, a 2-megapixel camera with LED flash and optional 3G cellular capability for you to remain connected on the go via high-speed GSM/UMTS/EVDO data transmission. Being Gobi 2000-ready, it has built-in antennas and works great outdoors thanks to its special MaxView screen technology. It has a hot-swappable 2,600mAh dual battery pack which allows you to change batteries on-the-fly without having to shut down. No idea on pricing though, which is a bummer.

We would say that the North Paw anklet is some sort of mystical geek device that ought to thrill nerds out there who do spend a fair amount of time in Role Playing Games - after all, this nifty little anklet will always let you know where North is, thanks to eight cellphone vibrator motors located around the ankle. A control unit that holds an electronic compass will sense magnetic north, jump-starting the appropriate motor to inform you of where North is at that point in time. The North Paw anklet is the result of a subsequent experimentation with the Feelspace research performed at the Cognitive Psychology department of the University of Osnabrück in Germany. Nifty - we would like to see this commercialized to come with a GPS navigation system for outdoor lovers.

It is true - sex sells, which is perhaps why Cube came up with this rather provocative shot of a pouty chick to market their yet-to-be-released ebook reader which supposedly comes with a 6" capacitive color touchscreen display, Wi-Fi connectivity and Windows Mobile 6.5 as the operating system of choice. Hmm, this is a new marketing tactic, or is it? We do know that the final product will not cost anything more than $150 after conversion in China, so it would be interesting to see whether there is enough back end support to make this ebook reader a success in its motherland.

Want to let your loved one know how much you love them, that giving them a tickle from time to time shows your affection? That's what the Hap.tickle Greeting dress designed by Lina Saleem is all about, where it comes with its fair share of ruffles, frills and vibrating motors on its back and sides. Whenever the dress receives an SMS, the motors will automatically get to work, sending tickles through your sides and spine. Not recommended for those who are in an important boardroom meeting talking about the company's performance as well as goals to its board of directors, that's for sure.

The GuruPlug is an all-in-one server that is ready for pre-order if you lack the technical know how as well as wizardry to build one of these for yourself. This next generation SheevaPlug comes with new goodies including a couple of Gigabit Ethernet ports, a solitary eSATA connector, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity (also found in the original) in addition to all that is available on the original SheevaPlug. It retails for $129 which is $30 more, and the fact that it sips a mere 5 watts of juice makes it all the more interesting.

Granted, anyone who wants to top the iPod Shuffle's position in the MP3 player market isn't aiming high, but that has not stopped Samsung from unveiling its TicToc MP3 player which boasts an integrated motion sensor that makes switching tracks a snap - all you need to do is shake the player in the right manner and you will be able to perform various functions such as slow down a song or speed it up. A large button allows you to power on/off the TicToc, although you can turn it off permanently by throwing it against the wall with all your might until it breaks open. The Samsung TicToc will hit the market later this year in 2GB and 4GB capacities, where it carries 12 hours of non-stop playback on a single full charge with support for MP3, WMA, OGG and FLAC audio formats. No idea on pricing though.

Information and data theft are getting rampant these days, and many a time those incidents could have been avoided if one had implemented more stringent security measures or employed tough-to-crack hardware. Bill's USB concept is one of those devices that fall under the latter category, boasting a physical lock that requires the right combination of turns before you will be able to access the USB connector to plug the device into any computer. Too bad this concept could have done better with software encryption as well as a password protection system. You can't be too safe with mission critical data after all, can you?

The Openmoko WikiReader will be able to receive its Spring 2010 software update now which offers math equations that are rendered as crisp bitmap images, alongside updates to its database of more tha 3 million Wikipedia articles. Apart from that, the on-screen keyboard has been refreshed to resemble key presses similar to that on the iPhone (we wished they wouldn't have copied it that blatantly though), while readers will certainly appreciate fluid scrolling and the indispensable back button. Of course, would you rather access Wikipedia from your computer at home or a tablet PC instead of forking out $29 for a year's subscription service to Wikipedia alongside two pre-loaded microSD memory cards?

Amusity is a zany table that ought to make its way to your music collection, simply because designer Idan Arbel who came up with the Amusity wants to turn your coffee table into a tangible user interface for your whole music library. With the Amusity, one is able to play music videos, access information concerning the artist, song and album among others in order to control the flow of the songs. Whenever you activate a song, there will be a bunch of possible paths that are available to you to move on to other tunes. As for the circle pieces, those function as speakers that plays the song when it is placed on the board. Interesting! We do wonder what the power consumption of this thing is, alongside the type of operating system it runs on.
