Eco-friendly!
Solar mobile
All of today's cell phones are equipped with a rechargeable battery.One of the most important features is how long the battery will hold, both while you are using the phone and while it is on stand-by.Now, Motorola has decided to develop the first cell-phone that is rechargeable on solar energy. Well, it seems like this phone recharges itself taking energy from the sun through its LCD screen. Not to mention that alternative energy sources such as solar energy are the energy sources of the future.

Digital Microscope
Those who have a hobby out of things like forensics, inspection or jewellery quality this is the perfect gadget. Just connect the USB Digital Microscope to a USB slot in the computer. After that install the software available for the device and all the things you target its lens towards will appear enlarged on the screen of your computer.While doing that the gadget is able to take photos or record videos of the targeted objects.The lens is able to enlarge the objects upto 200x. You can also move the device so that you can get closer to things or enlarge those that are further away from you!

Technological book....UUH??
E-Book Reader
Reading a book online doesn't give the feeling of holding a real book in our hands, also our eyes get more tired.Now forget all about that because Amazon has released their E-Book Reader. The Mobipocket software with which the gadget is equipped with provides the owner to directly download from the internet to the reader, thus saving precious time and giving the book lover the chance to actually hold something real in their hand when entering the fantasy world of books.

Sci-Fi Chair
After the development of gaming chairs that move according to the games action and computer beds, now G-Tech Neber releases a chair that confirms the theory that sitting correctly on a chair is so overrated. This new Sci-Fi chair gives support to the back, head,hands, wrists, and feet. In other words, the chai is completely ergonomical. Also, having the curved back, the chair gives the oppurtunity to sit in any position.
It's certainly on as a choice for my birthday gift this year!

PDA
Anybody remember Apple's "Newton" from 1993? Not really pocket-sized (7.25" x 4.5" x 0.75"), and weighing nearly one full pound, it managed respectable handwriting recognition and had a pretty decent screen.

The gadget would have been more attracted to if the name was Newton's apple !!!!(just joking) I think I saw the gadget in a show in a news channel called NDTV. The show is called Gadget Guru.

Cell Phones
I can't think of any other technology that has developed -- and been accepted by the public -- as fast as the cellular telephone.

I think that it is a record made and .....well, has been made! That cannnot be broken! Moreover, the cell phones are beggining to become mini-computers, mini-ipods, mini-cameras and mini's of so many other things.The invention of the cell-phone is a revolution!

Segway scooter is cool! This two wheeled, self balancing electric vehicle...ok, ok, write about it yourself. Mention a link also which leads to more info and pics of it , if you can.

OKay. The Segway is a self-balancing scooter that runs on electricity. Software controls the wheel movement to keep it balanced upright, and the rider can go forward, backward, or stop just by leaning forward or backward.
Here's the Wikipedia article, with photos:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway
And a Youtube video. Nothing like seeing it in motion:
edit added: from the Youtube video, you'll see links to lots more Segway videos. Pretty cool stuff.

Has it come into the markets? Do you think it is safe?

According to the Wikidpedia article, they've been available since 2001 or 2002 and cost about $5000 to $6000. As for safety, I've never used one or seen one in person, so I don't know. It looked pretty fun on some of the youtube videos I watched.

Anyway, I just read about.....Hybrid Bikes!
This is really like, " Say hello to the new generations of roaring motorcycles(Well, it actually makes no sound, not even a grunt!)".They are due to appear later this year. This hybrid bike goes upto 150 MPG with propane,diesel or gasoline. The biggest difference between them and the classic ride is the monocoque frame, stronger than the original one. Just like many of the hybrid motor rides designed today, this has a motor, powered by the battery used for accelerating as the one powered by fuel charges the batteries, but unlike traditional bikes this bike makes no sound!!!!!
