Digital Hour Glass Watch

Text Link Ads

Sand+Time Watch is a project that unites modern technologies and old ways of measuring time. Sand+Time offers its wearer the time in modern electronic hours, but the form of the interface has also been borrowed from an old sand hourglass. The watch functions in two modes. The first, the screensaver, takes the form of a sand hourglass counting a certain time unit set by the user to their preference. (The default setting for the hourglass is to count one minute.) The second mode displays the time in numbers – the most common electronic interface for the modern person.

Carl Zeiss's 1700mm Telephoto Lens

Text Link Ads

Lens manufacturer Carl Zeiss has made one of the world's largest telephoto lenses. I know you are still thinking of it as a "lens", then you're in for some shock. This lens is so big in fact, that you nearly need 10-15 titanium tripods to support it. Weighing about 256 kg (yeah that's KG), this baby has a focal length of 1700mm (over 5.5 feet!), a speed of f/4, and has 21x magnification. It will be displayed in this year's Photokina convention in Cologne, Germany starting September 29.

Based on the company's press release, it sounds like it was custom-built for a client who wanted to shoot wildlife at a distance on the very high-end Hasselblad 203 FE using 6 x 6 medium format film -- in other words, some rich dude might've wanted to impress his girlfriend. No word on if it will be ever made available to us normal people. I didn't even look for the price.

Tomato U7 Player

Text Link Ads

Not sure why any company would go and name their portable media player "Tomato U7 but one thing's for sure, the U7 may be small, but it has a host of features included. Weighing 25 grams, and its size being 38 64x14mm, it's smaller than a common cellphone and it yet manages to fit a 1.8 inch CSTN screen that displays 65k colors.

It comes in 512MB, 1GB or 2GB sizes, and plays a bunch of formats, including the usual MP3, MP4, WAV, WMA, ASF, OGG, WMV, AMV, JPEG. Aside from that there's an FM tuner, voice recorder, equalizer, e-book reader and games. Battery life is clamed to be 10 hours.
However, it looks like it might only be released in Korea and we have no idea how much it costs.

Set to be released sometime in the second quarter of this year, this piece should be just under $13000 when it comes out.
