Well, seemingly we’re really in deep love of products from the Apple Company or those designed for the Apple, coz we’ve been focusing on the iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc for quite a continuous period. Here comes something for the iPhone too. It is a portable printer that can print out prints 4×6 photos with crystal-clear 300 dpi resolution directly from a docked iPhone or iPod touch. The new printer is easy to use, and can be controlled via a free downloadable app. Just imagine that any time you shot a photo, you can print it out almost at the same time, isn’t that great?
Any design that features a high efficiency while a low cost is always appreciated, especially when they can bring something good to the environment. That’s why we love the concept of the Inflatable Solar Power Light, an inflatable, waterproof bag built with an LED bulb inside. It can get charged with a solar cell and comes with a battery that holds enough electricity for six hours of light on the low setting. As the light is designed for developing countries that lack electricity, it would be sold at a low price after its launch in January of 2012.
It seems like a smart container, what do you think the item is used for?
A bigger scissor? Of course not, as the gadget is actually a laptop stand that is both affordable and portable. Dubbed “Prop”, the stand can lift your laptop off the table, thus to create better airflow and cool your laptop’s temperature down. Well designed, the Prop can fit nearly all sizes of laptops up to a size 17″.
Can you believe that the “Chopp” is claimed to be the last chopping board you need to buy?! Although I have no liking for exaggeration, I must admit that the ergonomic chopping board does deserve the praise. It’s a board with interchangeable functionality, including a hollow base to hold the chopped food, a cheese grater, a preparation aid for fruit, an egg holder and so on. Made of high density Polyethylene and ABS PC, as well as fused with Antimicrobial material, the Chopp is both durable and healthy for use. Hey, Alastair Crompton, reserve me a Chopp please.
How to slim pianos down and let them go into the houses of many more people? There’re several possible methods, one of which is this “Flat Piano” concept by Yun Jin-yeong and Jeong Seong-hun.

“My Writing Desk” is a workplace put forward by Inesa Malafej, and honestly that’s something I’m looking for. It features a storage tough around three sides of the table top, thus keeps the writing surface clean while still makes the user’s things close at hand. Moreover, the high edges can protect your cellphones, cups or tablets form falling onto the ground, and that’s why it is deemed as “the safest writing table”.
The ultra-compact wearable blood flow sensor is an invention of a research group from Kyushu and Tokyo Universities. Compared with common blood flow sensors that weigh 2-3 kg, this new device is much more compact and needs merely a 100 V power supply. It can be used to measure blood flow when the user is moving or just keeping still. Besides, the portable sensor can measure blood pressure as well.
Of course it seems like a handbag, but what could this be, if it is something else? Exert your imagination and leave me a possible answer.
Surely we don’t need to take a canoe all the time, but if we could do that, why not? This Foldable Canoe designed by Ori Levin is rightly a portable one that can shrink down to fit into a bag. It weighs about 4.1 kilos, lightweight enough to ensure an easy transportation. It is also easy to be assembled, costing the users merely 5 minutes to get the boat finished.
