Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

I think I can give you one thing most people like and one thing most people hate.  Beer and waiting (in that order of course!).  There are been novelty gadgets for beer ever since novelty gadgets have been invented, but this is something new, innovative and something you could see in bars and stadiums before long.  I give you, the TRUfil from Scotsman Beverages Systems: the gadget to provide beer without the waiting.
Let me give you important information first: this machine can give you 10 pints in 10 seconds.  That’s right, a pint in one second.  Keep reading for more details.

You may remember earlier this year Thanko, a Japanese company, released the imaginatively named “Thanko Cooler USB keyboard.“ 

For those that don’t, here is a brief recap: it is essentially a solidly build keyboard complete with three fans that are designed to keep your hands cool whatever the weather.  So, what now?  Well, in keeping with their unimaginative naming method, the new “USB Hot Cooler Keyboard” does exactly what it says on the tin.  More after the break.

With its one-of-a-kind circular, metallic-looking keypad, the Cool G108 cellphone seems to be what the Motorola RAZR would look like if it was made into a wristwatch. I don’t know if any normal people really get excited by gadgets like this, but just in case you’re in the mood for a little discreet telephony, I guess this could prove useful for you.

The G108 is part of the Chinese-manufactured Cool Series, and its features include Quadband GSM, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. It also has a 1.5-inch screen capable of showing up to 256k colors at a 128 x 60 pixel resolution. And make no mistake, it’s not as small as it is. Because impressive as all of the previously mentioned features may be (as far as cellphone watches are concerned) the G108 cellphone watch hides even more tricks up its sleeve.

For the inner spy in you, you can fire up the Bluetooth feature on this baby and wirelessly make phone calls via a Bluetooth headset. You can also check for vital information like battery life, signal strength, and current time from the external display, since this comes in the clamshell form factor. When you’re bored, just groove to your favorite tunes with the built-in media player. And did I mention that it also has a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera? Oh, I guess I just did. Suddenly China doesn’t seem so lacking in originality now, doesn’t it?
