Easily capture and share memories
Samsung’s CL65 digital camera lets users make a visual connection. The sleek CL65 offers the combination of geo-tagging, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi, and DLNA compatibility. The camera’s wireless functionality enables users to send and post pictures almost as quickly as they take them. Its GPS capabilities keep track of where users travel, giving them the ability to manage their images intelligently with geographical location data embedded directly into each corresponding EXIF file. The CL65’s built-in geo-tagging allows users to record the details of the location and time the image was taken. With the embedded PC software package “intelli-studio,” users can also easily edit and manage their pictures right on the camera before uploading them to photo-sharing sites.
Bluetooth 2.0 allows images to be distributed wirelessly to supporting devices such as mobile telephones, and Wi-Fi means that users can now e-mail photos directly from their camera and upload their photos or videos to popular social networking websites. The camera’s DLNA compatibility also allows it to wirelessly connect to another DLNA compatible device, such as an HDTV, within a user’s networked home so images may be viewed through alternate types of consumer electronics.
Pill-popping alert
Vitality GlowCaps fit standard prescription bottles. A wireless chip inside the GlowCap reminds a person to take medication on time, helping to ensure that the individual adheres to the prescribed treatment. GlowCaps use light and sound to signal when it is time to take medications, record when a pill bottle is opened and wirelessly relay this information to compile adherence reports. These reports are e-mailed weekly to the person using the GlowCap and, if desired to family members or a physician. Each GlowCap retails for $99 on Amazon.com.
Get with the beat
SanDisk’s slotRadio player is a portable device that plays music directly from pre-loaded slotRadio cards, eliminating the hassle of software installations, time-consuming music selection and file-by-file downloading. Most slotRadio cards contain 1,000 songs featuring hundreds of artists from Billboard top charts. The music on the cards is professionally arranged into a variety of genre-themed playlists.
Each slotRadio card contains pre-programmed locked music playlists for unlimited playback with either a slotRadio To Go player; slotRadio player or Sansa Fuze player. Much like radio, these songs are played in sequence and cannot be rewound or rearranged, and song and playlist files cannot be copied or viewed. Individual songs can be manually skipped and the cards are affordable compared to most legal music downloads. The slotRadio Player with one card retails for $99.99. Additional cards containing 1,000 songs are $49.99. Check it out at http://slotradio.org/slotRadio/home.
