Apple is now moving on to updating their software after months of releasing new gadgets. The new Apple TV 3.0 software aims to up your TV experience, and battle it out with other television manufacturers.
The new software from Apple has a redesigned main menu that makes for easier browsing. Its content is definitely easier and simpler to manage. This will enable you to enjoy the largest selection of on-demand HD movie rentals and purchases, HD TV shows, music and podcasts from the iTunes.
You can also now enjoy iTunes Extra and iTunes LP in full screen display with your Apple TV. More, the software includes Genius Mixes and Internet radio via a home theater system.
In fairness to Apple, the new software will not rob you off your hard-earned money. It will come free (download) to those who already own an Apple TV. But for those who doesn’t have an Apple TV yet, it will come bundled with the 160GB edition for $229.
As much as I would like to go gaga over this new solar-powered iPod dock from Regen, I might have to pass on this one. A three-foot high device is not exactly my cup of tea.
Same as with Regen’s Renu, this new one (called Reverb) will both amaze and appall you. It is capable of shelling out 60 watts of power straight from the sun’s rays. The Reverb can also generate enough electricity to play your music for 4.5 hours at full volume and 12 hours at normal volume.
The device will, however, take 20 hours in order to get a full charge from the sun. But if you’re not that patient, you can plug it in an electric socket.
Honestly though, do you think a $2,229 worth of solar cells is something you need for an iPod dock. If only environmental geeks can produce eco-friendly gadgets for a cheaper price, then maybe there’s hope for climate change after all.
The Reverb will make its debut in April 2010.
Sleep deprivation seems to be one of the worst aspects of traveling. That’s why we’d like to see this Sleep Box, designed by Russian architects Arch Group, as a standard fixture in every airport in the world.
For rent for between 15 minutes and several hours, they’ll be a whole lot bigger than those cramped Japanese capsule hotels that resemble slide-out drawers in a morgue, yet smaller than the mini-rooms at New York’s Pod Hotel or the Singapore airport’s Ambassador Transit Hotel.
It looks just right, the perfect place to catch up on your sleep between long flights. We like its clever design, with sheets that are automatically changed by winding from one roller to another, just like a conveyor belt. Each Sleep Box is decked out with an LCD display, Wi-Fi, a place to stash your luggage, and plenty of sockets for charging up your laptop and cell phone. Sure beats sleeping in a chair.
If you’re always having troubles on where you should charge your gadgets when you are on the road, then this handy Scosche Powerfuze Pro might just be the one you need.

You can carry the Scosche Powerfuze Pro anywhere you have to go—home, office and coffee shops. You can even take them out camping with you, as long as you have a full-tank, fully-charged automobile like an RV.
For an additional $14.99 (that’s $34.99), you can get the Scosche Powerfuze Pro with iPhone/iPod sync cables.
Radios these days have become a thing of the past. As technology progresses, so does radios went into oblivion. But the Q2 Cube Radio makes owning another one of this classic audio gadget exciting and cool.
The Q2 Cube Radio has no dials for channel surfing or volume. With the Q2 Cube, you only have to twist and turn it around if you want to change channels or increase the volume.
In order to change the volume or radio stations, you just tilt or rotate the small cube. It works because of the gravity switch that is inside the cube.
However, the radio cube is still in the early stages of development. The company is only showing it to the general public, and they haven’t released a pricing for it yet. Hopefully, we can get a full blast of this cube when the time comes.

Gadgets have been known to make life easier for us. And the next one is no different. The Qooq is a kitchen computer that comes with 10 recipes from chefs in video. It can also connect to the Internet, and have regular updates based on a monthly subscription fee.

If you liked the idea of the Sound Egg but not so much its aesthetics, say hello the Martin Emila’s Media Chair. It’s the same idea: a comfy chair set up with speakers focused right at your head, but one that looks a lot classier. You know, without all that sound-dampening foam stapled in there.
With the Media Chair, you get to pick the color of the chair itself as well as the color and pattern of the fabric of the seat. At least, in theory, as this is just a concept. Which I guess, in the end, gives the Sound Egg a leg up. Being real and all.
