Hot Cam: 3D Webcam

The Minoru 3D webcam uses two cameras to put together a three dimensional view, the same way the human eye does. You have to wear “special” glasses to see the image in all its in full-facial glory. The Minoru software has stereoscopic anaglyphic processing that lets you be seen in three dimensions. The red and cyan anaglyph image produced by Minoru can be viewed by anybody who is wearing commonly available red and cyan 3D glasses (five pairs included free with Minoru). Minoru can also be used as a standard 2D webcam for anyone who doesn’t have the 3D glasses at hand.


ATP GPS Photo Finder Mini review

GPS is hardly new technology, so why we haven’t seen camera manufacturers falling over themselves to include it on their snappers yet is a mystery. Whatever the reason, ATP isn’t hanging around and has decreed we should all be able to pinpoint our escapades on a virtual map.
The Photo Finder Mini is a two-box geotagging solution, allowing you to addGPS coordinates to digital photos so you can view them ‘in situ’ using mapping software like Google Earth,
Picasa or Flickr. You can even plot the route you took while taking them.


Black + Blum Salad Plant Servers

There’s a revolution going on in kitchen utensilry. Thanks to a bit of lateral thinking and some Alessi-inspired frivolity kitchen tools are no longer hiding in drawers, and are serving up a healthy dose of irony along with your dinner.
These Salad Plant Servers will have you wondering at how you possibly managed to eat your assortment of leaves with anything as mundane as a set of ordinary tongs. Fashioned to look like a tall plant resting in a teracotta plant pot, they provide a funky addition to any modern kitchen.

Dinner party starlet
When not in use the bright green tongs will stand upright in their pot and double as a bold decoration to brighten up your tabletop or kitchen shelves. Similarly, if you’ve prepared your bowl of salad or veg, just stick your tongs in upright to create a dinner-party centrepiece.



iRobot Roomba 580 review

Life is short and cleaning eats up precious time that could be spent having fun playing with the latest gadgets. You could get a cleaner, but they’re not cheap and they won't put a smile on your face like an iRobot Roomba.

These robo-vacs promise to diligently trundle around your home cleaning your floors while you're doing something more interesting. Some, like the new 580 model tested here, can be programmed to clean once a day, seven days a week. That's a lot of vacuuming.

Easy to use
The Roomba 560 got four stars when we tested it in late 2007, and the 580 is almost identical, which bodes well. The main difference is that you get some extra accessories: a wireless remote, a third ‘Virtual Wall Lighthouse’, and some spare brushes and filters.

Operation is simple: hit ‘Clean’ and the 580 disengages from its charging dock and starts ambling around the room, vacuuming as it goes.
Review continues after the break...

Its movements may seem fairly random – it spirals, zig-zags, hugs the walls for a bit and then suddenly heads off across the room – but they allow it to build up a map of the floor area, so it knows where it’s cleaned and when a room is finished.

Finding the right path
When the Roomba senses an obstacle, it slows down, gently bumps into it, then turns by a few degrees and tries again until it finds a clear path. Should it get tangled up with a cable or the tassels of a rug, it’ll back up and try and unwind itself.

And if it gets really stuck, is full, or needs attention for some other reason it’ll bleep a few times and often tell you what the problem is – our 580 asked us to clean its cliff sensors, for example, which are what stop it from diving down the stairs.

The 580 will clean four average-sized rooms on a single charge, and navigates between rooms using the Virtual Wall Lighthouses – set these up at each doorway and they initially confine the vac to that room using an infrared beam to block the exit, but once the Roomba has finished in room one the beam switches off and it navigates to room two and so on.

Once all the rooms are clean, or if the vac is running low on charge, it uses the Lighthouses to find its way back to the charging dock.

Upgrades over the 560
The Wireless Command Centre remote replicates the buttons on the top of the main unit and adds directional controls so you can steer the Roomba yourself.

It lets you programme and control your vac from afar and drive it straight to a spot that needs cleaning instead of carrying it. The remote is large and plasticky, and probably of most use to people who have trouble bending down or lifting things.

The extra Lighthouse is more useful because it allows the Roomba to clean a fourth room in one session. It’s not strictly necessary to use the Lighthouses to separate rooms – the 580 will simply treat two or more as one oddly shaped space, but the cleaning is faster if you do.

If your home has more than four rooms you want to be regularly cleaned, you can buy extra Lighthouses for £25. However, unless they’re quite small the vac will have to recharge itself before carrying on.

The extra brushes and filters, meanwhile, would no doubt prove useful as parts wear out, but they seem a bit of a odd inclusion to a new purchase. Time will tell whether they’re included because the parts don’t last very long. It’s worth noting that a maintenance kit of the same parts is available for £20.

Keen cleaner
The 580 performed very well, keeping our floors cleaner than normal, not least because of the frequency they were vacuumed. Of course, the more the Roomba cleans, the more you have to empty it out, but that’s a fast and simple operation.

Cleaning the brushes is less so, and iRobot suggests you do this after every three cleaning sessions. That could become a bit of a chore, but a quick scan of the internet suggests that it’s needed to prevent your vac breaking down pretty quickly. Still, five minutes of brush cleaning every week is better than an hour or more of vacuuming.

Granted, it’s not got the power of a Dyson, can’t climb stairs, and won’t get into the nooks and crannies a human would target – but it does most of the cleaning for you, and that’s got to be a good thing.

The 580’s biggest drawback is its price – £400 is a lot of money for a vacuum cleaner, and the 560 can now be picked up for less than £200 with the extra accessories available for another £75. Still, we’re fans of the Roomba and are now hankering after a hovering nanobot that’ll do the dusting as well. iRobot, over to you.


Brick USB Memory Stick

We’ve seen some crazy USB sticks in our time. Stashed away in our mini musuem is a sushi stick, a USB drive shaped as a syringe, and a thumb drive shaped as, you guessed it, a severed thumb.

None, though, quite strike the balance between childish charm and utility quite like the Brick USB Memory Stick.

Lanyard ‘bonus’
Available in 2GB and 4GB capacities and in a choice of red, yellow or blue paint jobs, the stick comes packaged in an unassuming plastic tube with, somewhat curiously, a lanyard. We’re pretty geeky, but wearing a USB stick round your neck is always a social catastrophe.

The USB connection itself is revealed by pulling the Lego brick in half. To make sure you don’t lose the cover, and to help deliver full Lego satisfaction, the spare half stacks neatly on top of the other.

Easy to lose
More usefully, the USB Stick also has a small ring that lets you connect it to a keyring. This is recommended: while the bowling ball USB drive we saw recently (no, really) is somewhat difficult to lose, this teeny brick will easily disappear down the back of a sofa.

All that remains is for you to stuff it with data. Our 2GB model had 1.86GB of free storage, but that’s more than enough to do a life-saving back-up of your most important files.

It’ll certainly tide us over until one of the greatest concepts we’ve seen – a drive called the Flash Bag that inflates like a balloon as you load it with data – makes it to production.



Garmin Nuvi 765T review

Perhaps befitting a sat-nav company as successful as Garmin – it’s the market leader in the US, and only prevented from being so in Europe by the pervasive efforts of Dutch company TomTom – there’s a bewildering array of products in its range.
We counted 25 in-car Nuvi models alone on its website, not to mention its outdoor, fitness and marine products. The Garmin Nuvi 765T, however, is the one that best matches the TomTom 730T, our most recommended sat-nav.

Free traffic updates
The 765T has full European mapping, 3D landmarks, lane assist and junction view. It also comes with free lifetime FM traffic information and avoidance, which is a good thing at this price, but with one caveat.
The FM TMC aerial is built into the 12v charger plug, which means you have two cables to disentangle and safely route along your dashboard every time you plug in.


Geneva Lab Model XL review

One person’s brilliant is another’s ridiculous, and both words were used in equal measure when the Stuff team came face-to-speaker with the Geneva XL for the first time.
One thing’s for sure: it certainly provokes a response. But then, how many other gigantic, 38kg, square iPod docks are out there?
Premium stand
You could place the XL on a table-top, but it would have to be the kind of granite affair used by lake-wading kings to support the weight. Much better is the bespoke stand, which is a £150 premium, but pretty essential in our opinion.
The unit’s glossy top houses a slot for CDs and a flap that conceals the dock; below, you get line-in and FM connections.



Cool-er eBook review

It seems there are more eBook readers coming out than paperbacks these days – we recently tested Elonex’s eReader, and now specs have leaked for two new Sony models.
But while most eBook readers look largely the same, British start-up Cool-er is the first to attempt to introduce Apple-style design. Its model comes in a range of nano-esque colours and a D-pad that’s reminiscent of the famous clickwheel. It also has the fastest Linux processor in the eBook world – but can it mix it with the big boys?

Easy transfers
The Cool-er comes equipped with 1GB of storage, which is enough to handle around 1,000 ebooks, and an SD slot that can cope with a 4GB card. It’s easy to transfer files, as the eBook uses a simple drag-and-drop system and it also works with Adobe Digital Editions.
There are thousands of free ebooks available from Project Gutenberg, andWHSmith is a great option for those looking for the latest titles. Once downloaded, you simply connect the book to your computer via USB and transfer away. The Cool-er is PC and Mac compatible, (unlike Sony’s Readerand the ILiad), and a simple micro USB connector is the only cable you need.

Format friendly
The majority of ebook files (barring LIT) work on this reader, and it lets you view JPEG’s and play MP3s as well. Fonts are crisply displayed on the 6in screen, but we found the clarity to be slightly dull when compared to the Elonex eReader.


Navigon 7310 review

There’s a trend at the moment for big, high-design sat-nav, but the Navigon 7310 doesn’t follow it. Other Navigon models do, of course, like the 8110that we’ve already tested and the upcoming 8410.

The 7310 treads a more conventional path with black plastic finish and 4.3in screen. That’s not to say it’s boring, though. It’s stylishly finished, well built and, crucially, showcases many of Navigon’s high-tech mapping skills.

Neat design

The initial out-of-the-box impressions of the Navigon are a bit of a rollercoaster ride. The device itself is neatly designed and solidly built, with an attractive concentric line design on the rear.

Delving further, we find the windscreen mount, which requires screwing together to become ready for use – slightly annoying when you’re sitting in a hot, stationary car trying to get everything up and running.

Luckily, the 12v power cable has the TMC traffic-report-receiving FM aerial built into it, meaning one less thing to plug in and one less wire to get caught on your indicator stalk during a crucial manoeuvre.

Stylish software

But it’s the Navigon’s software that makes it special. The look of the menus and maps is stylish, with black and orange accents befitting the Navigon logo.

As with all sat-nav, a certain amount of learning is required to discover how the process of entering addresses is done, and how to do cleverer stuff like tell it that you want to stop at a petrol station on the way. It is, in this regard, only marginally more difficult to use than a TomTom, and that is high praise indeed.

The basic 2D and 3D mapping is attractive and clear, but it’s the special mapping that differentiates it. Landmark View 3D we have seen before, displaying a 3D render of significant buildings as you pass them. If you didn’t know you were passing Big Ben, then the Navigon will show you, and just occasionally this apparent gimmick will help you orientate yourself.

City View 3D is a little more advanced, displaying solid, grey 3D buildings – in supported cities and areas – the shape and relative size of actual buildings. If the nexus point for sat-nav is photo-realistic Street View-esque representation of what is outside the car, then this is a positive step towards it.

Panoramic view

But, for us, the piece de resistance is Panorama View 3D, which displays contours, hills and mountains as they really appear, with your chosen route winding over them. It’s really very attractive, and possibly entirely frivolous – but, in terms of having a sat-nav that does clever things you can show off to your friends, we like it.

Another nice feature is My Routes. When you enter a destination, the device suggests three different routes to it, based on your driving history – whether you normally take the motorway, or weave around B-roads, for example. Plus, as you near your destination, a parking icon comes up on screen. Hit it and the 7310 will show you nearby car parks. Nice.

Standard sat-nav functions, like Bluetooth connectivity, voice control and TMC are all present and worked well.

Poor battery life

One major drawback to the 7310 is battery life. Forget or lose your 12v cable, and you aren’t going to get much more than an hour and a bit out of it.

This is disappointing, as is the fact that instead of warning you the battery is close to dead – giving you time to pull over and buy a map, for example – the device just instantly stops working. As we discovered...mid-roundabout.

So, to sum up, the Navigon 7310 is nicely made, with sophisticated and clever mapping. If simplicity is your main prerequisite for sat-nav, then aTomTom GO 740 LIVE might better serve you, but for geeks, this is definitely worth a look.


Navigon 8110

Navigon has got some cojones, entering into the saturated UK sat-nav market after most manufacturers have consolidated or shipped out.

It already has a wide range of products on sale here, but the high-end 8110 has a couple of talking points that might just see it get on people’s Christmas lists this year.

Full metal front
Firstly, in true Stuff fashion, looks. It has a solid metal front and hefty feel that shames other best sellers. Not so good if you’re leaving the car and want to keep it in a pocket or in your bag, but it’s nice to spend nearly £400 on something that feels well-made.

Its windscreen cradle is massive, a solid, long item that seems preposterous but actually suits most modern cars that have steeply raked windscreens and deep dashboards. If, on the other hand, you have a classic Mini, you’ll have to lean back to see the screen. But it holds solid on the glass.

One gripe is that the 8110 won’t charge through its own USB port once it’s plugged into the cradle; you need to plug into the difficult-to-reach USB port on the cradle. Presumably, the TMC aerial is built into the cradle, and also needs powering.

Panoramic views
The 8110 also manages to have useful hardware buttons for volume and muting, without messing up its lines. Even with a TomTom, the established master of simplicity, it can occasionally be a pain to adjust the volume through on-screen sliders.

The second talking point is in the software. In addition to standard 3D viewpoint, the 8110 renders terrain, so you see hills, valleys and tunnels just as they are out the window. Navigon call it Panorama View 3D.

This is unique: some 2008-onward sat-navs register the height difference between bridges and the roads that pass under them, but not the rolling landscape. It works very well, although it’s more clever and stylish, than useful for navigation.

Speedy processor
We were concerned that landscape rendering would slow the 8110 down, but it has a Samsung 533MHz processor and a dedicated graphics accelerator and managed very well.

Which actually leads to a gripe: if you miss a junction the 8110 so quickly re-routes and re-renders your position you often miss the fact that it has done so – there’s no audio feedback when it does so. (Many sat-navs audibly sigh, announce that you’re an idiot and ponderously re-calculate your route.) With the 8110 you might not realise that you had missed a turn and added time to your journey.

Average software
Elsewhere the software is decent, if not up to class-leading standards of Navman, Garmin and TomTom. The menu colour schemes are grey and orange, reminiscent of the now-departed-from-these-shores Sony Nav-U devices.

The on-screen keyboard is a little fiddly, but there is a stylus slotted in the back of the device if you prefer. Some key functions are difficult to access, but none dangerously so. The speaker is strong, and the voice instructions mostly clear if occasionally a couple of heartbeats later than was comfortable when approaching complex junctions.

So, does the 8110 arriving in the UK pose a problem for rivals? Very nearly. It’s a solid lump of technology with Panorama View 3D smarts that might make it irresistible for gadget fans, but it isn’t quite special enough to threaten TomTom, Garmin or Navman. If we were them, we’d be more worried about the Navigon 8110 v2.


Hubless Clock

Remember the really cool choppers with wheels without center hubs? This clock is kind of like that. Designed by Peter Knudsen, this clock literally has no center - just a circle with little box-shaped nubs that rotate around it instead of hands; creating this really cool floating hand effect. If you're into minimalism, this clock's design will surely tick-cle your fancy.



Watt Time Lightbulb Clock

Watt Time takes the familiar shape of the classic light bulb and incorporated it into your alarm clock - thus the name; Watt Time? Get it?
Watt Time is made of high gloss, hard plastic which lets the digital time and date glow through the "bulb's" outer wall. The time and date is illuminated by bright blue LED display. To turn the alarm off, or if you need "5 more minutes" which I'm sure you do, the snooze button is easily accessible at the top of the bulb's socket end.


Hot PC: Napkin PC

You have seen desktop, you have seen laptop and palmtop and tablet PC and many more. You have seen napkin too. Now its napkin PC time. This touch interface concept allows multiple users to collaborate on brainstorming projects, make notes or play noughts and crosses or, as it will henceforth be known, Futuristic Noughts and iCrosses. It uses “E-paper” which doesn’t require power to retain an image. Microsoft is behind it and t3.com let us know about it.

POWERSHOT D10

The PowerShot D10 marks Canon’s first plunge into the world of waterproof digital compact cameras. While that might come as a surprise considering the company’s long history, what’s even more intriguing is that Canon has given the 12.1MP D10 such a bold, chunky design. Unlike equally robust and water-resistant cameras such as the Panasonic DMC-FT1 or Pentax’s Optio W60, the D10 is bulky, with its curved contours giving it a toy-like appearance.

NOKIA 5230

Nokia has decided to reveal some details of one of its coming products, which is called Nokia 5230. It is a new smart phone with a really nice design. The official launch is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of this year. Probably, it will catch the attention of many people around the world, and a lot of comments from the media (including blogs and websites) due to its low cost.

NOKIA 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia's touch screen phone aimed at fighting back against the Apple iPhone. Very sexy to look at and an impressive spec means this should be a big seller. Looking forward to trying one of these.

LG CHOCOLATE BL40

The best chocolate comes from Europe. Go on, try and argue with me. Now, look at the new non-U.S. Black Label Series LG Chocolate BL40 and try and argue with me again. Can't do it, can you? Thought so. Shielded in tempered glass, the premium phone has a 4-inch, 800-by-345-pixel LCD widescreen. Its 21:9 aspect ratio is wide enough to display full 70mm movies across the entire screen. Yum.
In landscape mode, the phone has enough screen real estate to view web pages at full width, have a comfy on-screen QWERTY keyboard, and one slick user interface for browsing the net, media, contacts, and writing e-mail. The screen is also roomy enough to display two panes at once without toggling back and forth between windows; think of it like the preview pane in Microsoft Outlook or Entourage.
The BL40 will go on sale in the third quarter of 2009 in 54 countries (other than the U.S., of course). There's been no official word as to whether it'll make an appearance stateside, but in the meantime, you can enjoy this sweet demo video.

But the updated version is tipped to offer dual touch screen capability, a wider screen, updated wireless capabilities and a camera. The current model costs about $AU188, but the 2009 DS is almost certain to cost more.
If you’re constantly stuck on long plane flight or in taxis, a DS may help the time pass a little easier.

Activision DJ Hero preview


Hit the decks
The final track listing for DJ Hero is, at the time of writing, still a mystery, but plenty of other details of how Guitar Hero’s simple but addictive gameplay will translate to the decks have emerged.

The decks themselves will have three buttons, each representing one note. This might seem like small beans compared to Guitar Hero’s five coloured buttons, but there are plenty more controls to fiddle with.

Vivienne Tam Curvy MP3 Player



Designer Vivienne Tam created this sexy, candy-apple-red mp3 player for her 2009 VIP customers. The Mp3 player is sleek, and curvy - a Vivienne Tam design trademark. What's so cool about this is that the design for it first came out on the web 2 years ago - but the actual players are just making their way into the hands of Vivienne Tam VIPs.

Introducing iTunes 9

The highlight of iTunes 9 is the Genius Mixes function that finds songs within your library that go great together, and then create multiple mixes automatically.

iPod Nano with Video Camera



Apple asks you, "Why settle for just a small camera that just takes videos and posts them on YouTube when you can have a really cool media player with a video camera on it?" (Yes, it is talking about you, Flip.)
Introduced at their 09 09 09 event, the new iPod Nano now has a H.264 VGA video camera that captures life's precious moments of out-of-the-blue instances into 640 x 480 clips in up to 30 frames per second. Take videos either in portrait and landscape, then sync your Nano with the Mac so you could upload those clips in YouTube, Facebook, MobileMe, or simply e-mail them to your friends. It even has a built-in microphone and external speakers so you could also hear the video while playing back your video on the larger 2.2-inch color display.

iPod Shuffle Now Comes in Color and Stainless Steel



Apple has added color to the iPod Shuffle. Users can now choose between pink, green, and blue aside from the usual silver and black anodized aluminum enclosures. Oh, and did we mention that the smallest media player will also sell at a lower price, much like its cousins? Now, the 2GB model can be bought for just US$59 while the 4GB version is now available for only $79.

Shopping Bag-Shaped iPod Speakers



If you are looking for a really unique iPod speaker this is it, the portable shopping bag-shaped iPod speaker. Designed by artist Yoshihiko Satoh for Marumiya Furniture, the speaker really does resemble a shopping tote bag. It has straps that you can use to hang it up on a hook in your room. It even functions like a shopping bag - to some extent- you can stash your iPod on top of the "shopping" bag where it's hollowed out a bit.
