The AirPod is the latest green car that will be launched on the market. The new vehicle is powered using compressed air system which uses the electricity in order to force the air to power the pistons of the engine.
The AirPod will have a top speed of 40 mph and a range of approximately 130 miles. The car can be refilled using a regular air compressor. AirPod will be available in U.S. by 2010 while the Europeans and India will get it sooner (and yet we’re not jealous.) No word about the price yet.
The are people that usually prefer having one thing good for everything, for example the 2 in 1 shampoo, the cleaner for glass, bath and floor and the list continues. But it is not a precisely a good option for gadgets cause sometimes more systems combined in one gadget may not be as useful as it seems. For instance the GPS system combined with a built-in gaming unit can’t be very useful. Let’s say you’re on a long trip and it’s one of the best time to play games but in the same time you need the GPS more than ever to guide. Not being able to do both actions in the same time what is the use of the complex gadget in the end? There is another device that tried to combine both systems, the PSP which now has also the GPS. And as a solution, the new PSP is smarter than GPS due to its Multilanguage GPS, the SD/MMC memory card, Bluetooth and a Samsung ARM9 400MHz processor.
Have you ever seen your kids bored in your long family trips? Well, today we have the solution: Carcade, a concept for an in-car videogame designed for the passengers, which actually captures the landscape and uses it as a videogame environment. For example trees and houses on your window will be recognized by the incorporated camera connected to a laptop, and then it will enter your game. Also, when the car accelerates, the game will become more difficult (that’s got to be safe.)
The bad news is that for the moment the game is only a concept. But who knows, maybe in the future you will be able to play you’re own live version of Midnight Club!
Some people don’t want to be away from their muscle cars, even if its buying more parts for them online. For people like this, “Road Mice” provides a wireless computer mouse in the shape of different models such as Ford Mustang, the new Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger or Chevrolet Corvette.
The funny accessory is compatible with both PC and Mac and features the latest RF and optical technology with a high resolution of 800 dpi. The scroll button is placed on the hood while the 4-wheels mouse received also a pair of working headlights.
For a teenager, there’s nothing like the feeling of independence that comes from hitting the open road. But now Ford is saying not so fast, Junior (literally). Ford’s new MyKey system (standard on the 2010 Focus coupe and optional on other models) allows parents to program a specific car key to play Big Brother. When used to start the car, the MyKey can limit top speed to 80 mph (as well as chime at speeds as low as 45), mute the stereo until a seatbelt is fastened, give early low fuel warnings, and perform other mothering tasks that will be sure to get your kids to give you the “that’s, like, totally unfair” look.
If Ford really wanted to do parents of teenagers a favor, they would set the system to warn if the car detected it was parked in the woods with two (or more—woohoo) occupants. But I guess for services like that you would need to get the trunk monkey.
