Gadgets Device

There are not that many places that you would be able to pull this off and not look entirely foolish, that said I am sure some places of employment would benefit from such a device, I am just not sure I would want to ever have to wear one. The “hip office” from hk-ergonomics allows you to easily work on your laptop in a variety of situations without having to need an additional table. The office is made from a glass-fiber prototype that slips around your waist which rests on your hips. The sides then continue out in front making a nice “table” to rest your laptop on. According to HK, this will be good for posture, but it seems like it would also be very difficult to type, after all the computer does sit very close to your stomach.

Posted Feb 9th 2008 8:01PM by Paul MillerFiled under: GPSIf you’ve bought a GPS unit in the past year or two there are decent odds it’s based on the SiRFstar III chipset, which has been about as good as it gets since it arrived on the scene a few years ago. Now there’s a new chip on the block, SiRFprima, which could have GPS aficionados kicking those SiRFstar III units to the curb. The unit boasts “industry leading” GPS performance, and is the first of its ilk to be able to work with GPS and Galileo signals simultaneously. InstantFixII — which promises 5 second start times — is built in as well, along with 3D acceleration for the fancy new maps hitting the scenes, and the capability to work with external devices like touch screens, DVD players, video cameras and so forth.
