Sharp's AQUOS Photo Player Prints

Sharp has decided to liberally splash its AQUOS labeling on an all new photo player, which pulls double duty as a photo printer and a photo, um, display-er. So far as we can tell, users can load up images via a variety of memory card slots, Bluetooth, Infrared and even the local network (HN-PP150 only), and from there, they can either print for showing to grandma or output the content through HDMI. For those who connect it to an AQUOS LCD TV, they can also utilize the music playback functionality that's baked in.

Automower solar-powered robotic lawn mower

Good thing we have advances in technology such as the solar-powered Automower. It looks more like a miniature war vehicle or something out of a futuristic video game, but instead of blowing stuff up, it was specially designed to keep your pre-wired green lawn short and trim. Heck, you even have the choice to create ‘islands’ by laying the wire around plants and flower beds. Don’t worry about riling Greenpeace activists since this is 100% solar-powered, which equals to zero emissions. It also comes with safety features that prevents it from harming pets or kids, although I’m not too sure whether it will avoid snakes or not (if you’re into those kind of pets). The Automower will retail for around $3,100 and is able to trim a quarter of an acre with 10 hours of charging.

Memorex MVBD-2510 Blu-ray player

Memorex's Profile 1.1 MVBD-2510 was only $269 from the get-go, but busting through the unofficial $150 price barrier is a pretty big deal for Blu-ray. Granted, we're totally expecting a few more to join the fold come Black Friday, but who's not all about buying from the comfort of one's home versus braving frigid temperatures only to catch eight airborne diseases and shave 2.85 years from your life due to statistically significant levels of stress on a day off? Bottom line: $139.99 for a BD deck is pretty darn cheap (even for Woot's standards), and even if there's no BD-Live support baked in, it'll still handle the 1080p basics.

Flip Mino jumps on the High Definition

Known as the Flip Mino HD, this is touted to be the smallest high definition camcorder in the world. It is extremely easy on your pockets, tipping the scales at a mere 3oz., making it a snap for you to carry this just about anywhere you travel, capturing those precious moments in high resolution video for future viewing. The price tag also won’t eat into your kids’ college savings, retailing for $229.99 a pop. The Flip Mino HD has the ability to record up to an hour’s worth of HD video, and with the bundled Flip Video’s new FlipShare software, you are able to turn just about any computer into a platform for drag-and-drop video organizing, editing and sharing on YouTube, MySpace, AOL Video or via email.


Features of the Flip Mino HD include :-

* Resolution: HD 720p
* 4GB internal memory
* 1.5″ anti-glare LCD display
* Internal lithium ion battery
* One-touch recording with 2x digital zoom
* Touch-sensitive buttons for recording, playback, fast forward, rewind, pause and delete

Sounds like a decent Christmas present to bring home this holiday season, eh? I would have preferred to see a memory card slot thrown in for expansion options – 4GB of internal memory just isn’t enough especially when you plan to record an event that is longer than a single hour.

The LED Micro Task Light

The light has four LED lights which would give you a decent amount of lighting. The light also rotates 360 degrees to make it easier to work. To keep it powered you’ll need three AAA batteries. Apparently the light doesn’t produce any heat either so the batteries will last longer. The light can last up to 100,000 hours. You can pick it up on Solutions for $12. So it would be fairly affordable, plus you can save yourself a battery run and add an extra $2 and they’ll throw in two batteries.
