TEC Lingo Mini Mouse

Tokyo-based TEC’s new Lingo mini mouse is probably one of the smallest in the world. It is expected to launch mid June this year. If you plan on getting one of these, but live outside of Japan, you should try asking the Japan Trend Shop, Gizmine or Geek Stuff 4 U to get one for you.

Retail price is not set although it is expected to retail around 5000 yen (about $50). Lightweight and versatile, Lingo weighs at 23g and has dimensions of a mere 27.5 × 60 × 19mm (width × depth × height). Charging is done via a USB cable and operates via 2.4Ghz wireless band and effective range of usage is at 10metres. Read more

Brother’s Quattro 6000D Sewing Machine

It’s not very often that we report on sewing machines here at Coolest Gadgets, but Brother’s Quattro 6000D is definitely worth talking about. I mean, I remember my mother had a Singer sewing machine when I was growing up, but it would look like a dinosaur compared to this guy!

Yes, my mother’s Singer never had a 4.5 x 7 inch Sharp HD LCD display. This screen is there for a close-up look at whatever you are sewing, as the machine has a tiny camera located right next to the needle.

The 6000D also has “embedded runway lighting”, which will give all the people who are vision impaired a little help, and will also insure precise stitching. For those that don’t have sewing experience, the 6000D comes with advanced embroidery features and built-in tutorials.

This is definitely a sewing machine prepared for this millennium as it comes with 3 USB ports. Don’t ask me what you would want to plug into them, but at least you can power up other USB powered devices.

So if you like sewing, then the Brother Quattro 6000D is probably your baby. There is no word on availability or price, but I can’t imagine it being inexpensive.

Well, it seems like Apple can’t hide it anymore. Apple might say “Hide what?” To hide that 3G iPhone that has been rumored ever since the iPhone was first released.

BulbDial Clock Concept Doesn’t Need Sunlight

Personally, I am really fond of clocks but there are some concepts that don’t impress me much. Somehow I felt that something was forcing me to show it to you. This clock concept was designed by David from Ironic Sans and it’s called BulbDial Clock.

The concept looks more like a clock of our ancestors but it doesn’t use sunlight to function, but some lamps that rotate around the central pole. Although it’s only a concept, it would look great in dim spaces and restaurants.
