Axbo Alarm Clock Wakes you at the Right Time
Remember the Sleeptracker, the digital watch that could purportedly track your sleep rhythms and wake you only when you're likely to be optimally refreshed (i.e., not when you're in the middle of a deep sleep or heavy-duty REM cycle)? Well, it's got a stylish big brother now, in the form of the aXbo, a sleek alarm clock that communicates wirelessly with a wristband that does basically the same thing as the Sleeptracker: it keeps track of your movements throughout the night, gauging how deeply you're sleeping by how much you're thrashing. You set a window during which it can wake you, and it waits for the right moment within that space. Of course, the aXbo won't help you sleep better, but it could help you wake up feeling a little more refreshed -- if you don't mind shelling out €200 ($241) for the privilege.[Via I4U]


Jens of Sweden: Mp-500 BLING
Looks like Jens of Sweden is back with a vengeance. The formerly bankrupt company has managed to come up with the MP-500, a sleek player in a familiar form factor (the company's press release arrived with a subject line boasting of the player's "nano format"), that includes audio, video, FM, voice recorder, and built-in speakers, with a fairly reasonable price of $242 for the 2GB version (a 1GB version is $189). Oh, and to differentiate this from that other "nano format" player, Jens is boasting that this one is scratchproof, and is available in both black and a bling-worthy gold finish (for $274).

Anti-Malaria Watch

Forget all those bells and whistles you may want in a watch, there’s nothing quite like the “Malaria Monitor,” which promises to sound an alarm if it detects the malaria parasite in the wearer. Basically, instead of being able to go underwater or check your heart rate, this watch will prick your wrist four times a day with a tiny little needle and test your blood for malaria parasites. Not bad for a timepiece. If the parasite count is over 50, it will set off an alarm and—you’ll love this—flash a big, bright mosquito on the face of the watch. So if the mosquito is flashing, it’s time to take your pills (which promise to kill the disease in 48 hours). The watch will cost about $280, so it would have to be picked up by aid organizations and given out for free to be of any use to the people who really need something like this.

Bling Bluetooth Headset for Her

Unless there’s something you want to tell us, we’re going to assume this Pink Diamante Bluetooth headset will be purchased exclusively for the lady in your life. Be it wife, girlfriend or good old mom, this is definitely a good way to get the female set a bit more interested in technology. And it’s a pretty good product too, with a lithium battery that lasts for about 5 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours of standby. Best of all, she won’t even realize she’s all geeked out. Priceless. Or, just $85.

Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Speakerphone

Finding a mobile phone speakerphone user is a pretty rare occurrence. Plus, people aren’t ambivalent about using a speakerphone, either—when it comes to using a speakerphone, most people either love it or hate it. Personally, I hate it, because with my crappy phone I have to concentrate twice as hard to understand what people are saying. Motorola is hoping to eliminate problems like this by enhancing audio quality while also allowing communication to be done wireless.
This device is able to provide a higher quality of sound using Bluetooth technologies. It also features full-duplex audio technology and has integrated echo and noise reduction filters. The device has a range of up to 30 feet and uses a rechargeable battery that provides up to five hours of talk time. For a small one-hundo everyone around you will finally know how drunk you got last weekend and also what disease you subsequently received.
