There was be alot speculation about the upcoming Sony Rolly robotic music player. If you haven’t heard…where have you been?  Bluetooth streaming, programmable movement, amazing sound, and a heck of a design.

Rolly has two stereo 20mm active speakers with an output of 1.2W each, but the best part is its movement. Rolly will move all over your room, roaming and playing your favorite tunes via 1BG flash memory or streaming from your PC via Bluetooth!

While moving to the music, Rolly also lights to the tunes with blue, orange, and green LEDs that bounce right along as Rolly does. It’s volume controls are on the rotators, whose movements can also be customized with the “Motion Editor” software that comes with it.

All in all, this is one of the most exciting audio accessories to come this year

Although a predecessor or two exists, the Sony Watchman is generally recognized as the first and most successful line of mass produced pocket televisions.

The original FD-210 model featured a 2-inch Black & White screen that was actually a flat cathode-ray that projected the picture onto the screen from below, unlike most cathode-ray screens that project from behind  (other products were using a mirror). This technology was later replaced by LCD, which allowed for the introduction of larger, color screens in smaller packages.

The Watchman ran on 4 AA batteries, which provided about 2-3 hours of watchable TV time. Rechargeable battery packs lasted a bit longer. It also featured a flip-out stand on the back so you could rest it on a table for easy viewing. Originally, the Watchman retailed for about $300. And, no, there was no remote (-_-;) !

These $25 Tyvek wallets that look like folded-up dot-matrix paper are pretty sweet — the store also sells nice wallets that look like folded up newspapers and air-mail letters

This controller was built with security systems in mind, but I’m sure that someone could use it as an ultimate remote control for their entertainment PC. It’s the Cyber Controller 4000J by Win4net and it comes with a built-in 5-inch TFT screen.

It’s built to easily toggle between and manipulate an array of cameras. In fact, it can handle up to 999 cameras. Unless you’re running a 200-story casino in Vegas (is there ven something like that?), it’s doubtful that this controller will ever even test that limit in practical applications, but i love when there’s a spec that just sounds really cool.
