Honda Japan has designed dog friendly car, termed as the WOW concept. WOW stands for Wonderful Open-hearted Wagon. The WOW was first introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. The WOW was designed to fit the needs of both a person and their dog.

Slightly smaller than a Civic, the 157-inch W.O.W. has front and rear sliding doors on either side and a pair of big commercial-style doors at the back. Honda provided no engine details, but should the W.O.W. make it into production, it would likely have a 1.5-liter four.

The W.O.W. has three rows of thin designer seats mounted on a wooden floor. Six people can ride in style or the two second-row seats can transform into a flexible dog cover. Honda has also built another (small) dog storage bin into the left side of the dashboard.

A special crate for dogs in the glove apartment allows owners to interact with their pets while driving. A bigger crate pops up from the floor in the back seat area and can be folded back into the floor when it’s not needed. For even bigger dogs, just buckle them up with a special seat belt to the floor.

This retro style of iPod dock needs no battery, draws no main power, but still manages to play music from iPod or any MP3 player. In the same way as the old gramophones worked, the Phonofone II takes the tiny vibrations of your earphones and channels them through its ceramic horn into the room. Clever and cool. The price is US$500 via Charles & Marie.

One day, all mobile phones will turn into this, or at least that is our expectation.

Mimique, a cellphone concept by RKS Design, can be adjusted according to your wants. Thank’s to the new Android open-source cellphone software which will allow you to download features and skins.

With downloadable upgrades, you won’t need to buy a new phone to get new features. And the skins will allow you to change the graphic to match your mood or preferences.

If efficiency is your cup of tea, set it up, so that cellphone is user friendly. And if you are in creative mood, set the menu so that not many people would know how to use it. This is a promising future technology of mobile phones…

Wii had brought the revolution on how we interact with games. But is it possible for Nintendo to overcome that with Mind Controlled Wii2? There is a talk of a mind-controlled console that would translate brain activity into movement. Maybe in 2010, you might use Wii Wand wireless to control Mario in a race and using your brainwave to throw a banana.

• By strapping the claw-like unit to the head, this would catch your brainwaves and translate them into movement and other commands to Wii console and the remotes.
• The small neuro-receptor unit will catch your brainwaves, no matter how thick your hair was.
• Integrated earphone will plugged into your ear to make sure you can hear every sounds clearly.
• The ordinary Wii Remote 2.0 will still available, but with only one button needed and your brain will decide which function it would be.

My husband just bought me a new cellphone. It’s HTC Touch Diamond. After use it for a week, I think it’s the coolest cellphone for this moment. Take a look at the video below for the preview..

What I like the most is the TouchFLO 3D feature. Just use your finger to scrolling through contacts, messages, emails, musics, weather and your favorite programs. This is what you can’t find in any other cellphone.

It’s only 11.35 mm thick with 2.8 inch touch screen, 640 x 480 large display, 4 times more pixel than most phones and the picture is sharp. You can use your finger to swipe over the screen, or you can use the stylus pen they provided. It’s your choice.

The built in camera is 3.2 megapixel. And with 4GB of internal storage space, you can take all the pictures you want, record the video of every precious moment, or keep everything that important to you, whether it’s a movie, music or your files.

They have auto rotate feature, so when you are surfing the web or browsing your photos, the screen automatically rotates the way you hold it. You can surf or download with HSDPA (3.5G) connectivity.

The point is, I like this cellphone so much. And so far, I enjoyed using it. If you plan to get yourself a new cellphone, consider HTC Touch Diamond. I know you won’t regret it..

The battery cell which powers the coil can be recharged from USB. Just push a button to reveal the USB connector. The cool aspect is that there is some flash memory where you can store your personal files.
