Zath’s Technology & Gadget Roundup (20/02/2010)
February 20, 2010
It’s the end of another week in the online world of hi-tech gadgets and technology blogging and as usual there’s been a lot happening out there, so here’s a quick roundup of some of the stuff that we’ve found particularly interesting this week, let us know what you think to them too!
Linux Training Week on Zath – I’m sure we’ve all heard of Linux, but for me personally it’s not something I’ve ever seriously looked at because I always assumed it wasn’t worth the hassle of installation for something that wasn’t that worthwhile, well clearly I was wrong on that one! As you can see from this useful series of articles about the Ubuntu distribution of Linux – it’s easy to setup Ubuntu, it’s an easy to use the Ubuntu interface and there’s lots of software available for Linux.
Heineken Beer-Serving Robot of the Future – oh yes that’s right, in the future we won’t need to get up from the comfort of the sofa, instead the robots will bring the beer to us! This particular robot makes for a great novelty, but it does make you wonder about the potential of robots in the future.
Buy Walkie Talkie Watches? – admittedly walkie talkies aren’t exactly hi-tech these days or even that wanted by people now we all have modern mobile phones such as the iPhone 3GS and Nexus One, but these particular ones can be strapped on your wrist and would make for great free-to-use communication devices if you like to be out in the great outdoors or perhaps having a multi-car roadtrip given they have a range of up to 5km. I just wish I had some of these back when I was a kid!

December 3, 2009
The Tao Digital Photo Keyring really does exactly what it seems. You may have seen or own a digital photo frame which can display a slideshow of all your favourite moments. These are definitely a significant improvement over a single still photo if you’re one for a gadget. So why not carry a miniature on your keychain.
Unlike the larger digital frames though, it does not cost the earth. At £13 it is perhaps a bit more expensive than a regular key fob, but this comes with 8MB of memory to store images and can display all of your photo’s in a constantly crisp display, rather than one old and faded one.

You must have seen those adverts all over the internet for ‘cartooning’ yourself. If not then you probably have seen those artists down by the beach or in city centres who offer to draw hilarious cartoons of you. Either way, the MiniMee personalised custom keyring is even better.
For just £19.95 you can have a small 3D version of you made to hang on your keychain!
All you have to do is send in a plain photo of yourself with no goofy sunglasses or interfering friends in and 3 weeks later you receive your mini keychain. You also have to disclose your eye colour to avoid confusion with photos.

November 23, 2009
Are you the sort of person that can never find your way back? No matter where you parked the car, agreed to meet someone or even where you live(?) then the ECCO GPS Keyring is for you. Just set it as you leave and activate it when you want to head back and a small arrow will guide you back. There are only 5 buttons on the device so it’s as simple as you could possibly want from a GPS device, especially one the size of a keyring.
The unbelievably simple interface is completely idiot-proof. Just follow the arrow. It even estimates the distance back to your starting point. It has a tracking range of up to 9,999 miles. Surely further than you would venture from your car and still use one of these.
