The Nike+Sportsband is finally here, being the logical evolution of the Nike+iPod kit. After all, that new release does away with the need for an iPod, but allows you to monitor your workout through the band contraption and monitor embedded within your Nike trainers. After all, not everyone enjoys working out while grooving to their favorite tunes, preferring instead to soak in the natural atmosphere of birds chirping away as they herald a new dawn. The Nike+Sportsband will offer real-time access to pace, distance, instance and calories burnt – and these documents can be transferred to your computer via USB later. It can hold up to 16 hours of workout documents, which ain’t too shabby for a £40 gizmo.

There is something about glowing products that seem to inexplicably draw society towards them – case in point, the Mini Tritium Glowing Keychain. that keychain uses the same radioactive material found in compasses, gun sights, watches and other items that glow at night. One good thing about using tritium is the fact that you don’t need to purchase any batteries, since it has more than decent “juice” within to glow for year after year even in complete darkness. The Mini Tritium Glowing Keychain will be able to go on glowing for approximately 10 years, ensuring you will never lose sight of your keys even after dropping them in the middle of the forest with the moon being blocked by ominous looking clouds. It retails for $9.80 each and comes in a choice of white or green glows.

There is nothing quite like a soothing back massage after a hard day’s work, but what happens when you’re too poor to afford a massage chair or even go for an hour’s worth of manual massage at the local parlor? Well, there is always the Massaging Backpack that vibrates constantly, pummeling your upper back for some much needed relief. I’m not too certain just how much battery capability that nifty device needs, but at €39.90 it is definitely worth checking out. One thing’s for certain – it’ll add a stutter to your speech while using that.

Soldiers could, in the near future, bring up a detailed 3D map of the surrounding area at will whether General Dynamics UK actually manage to pull off their project successfully. that “near real-time” 3D map system uses a wide range of technologies to invent it possible, including LIDAR, thermal imaging and x-ray backscatter techniques in order to display buildings, streets as well as the objects and humans living inside. Now that’s what I signal technology – no concept just how much processing ability is mandatory to churn all that info, but it will definitely come in handy where hostage situations are concerned.

Some humans believe that the AMD will spark a new “chip war” by releasing a bunch of products, but to me it sounds more like a potential “price war”, which is very different. “chip war” makes reader think that it is about technology. That’s not true. Unless AMD has a significant upper-hand in the efficiency (performance per watt, dollar…), they won’t be able to do anything more than a price war. It comes down to having a better architecture as the foundation for all new products. Without that, it’s all about the discounts.

One might say that Palm’s days are pretty stormy but today was a good day as the company announced that more than a million units of its entry-level Centro have been bought by customers. That’s good news for Palm, as many phones from big companies don’t even sell more than 100,000 units.

Unfortunately the margins on the Centro are not likely to be high, but we hope that it will be suitable cash to let Palm come up with a thinner phone.
