Yamaha Japan today announced the YSP-5100 [JP], a digital sound projector for your home theater. Sized at 1,200×90×212mm and weighing 11kg, Yamaha says the device is suitable for 50-inch TVs or video projectors. It supports 7.1 surround sound and is compatible with dts-HD, dts ES and Dolby TruHD/Digital Plus/Digital/ Digital EX/Pro Logic and Pro LogicⅡ/x. The 120W(2W×40+20W×2) projector sports five HDMI interfaces, an iPod port and an additional sub woofer connection. It will be out at the end of this month in Japan (price: $2,280). The projector has both Japanese and English menus so we can expect it to hit international markets soon, too. Notion Ink smartpad comes with Tegra, aims to be first Pixel Qi. Now here's a way to excite all the tablet naysayers. Slap that ultra-efficient Tegra chipset inside a 10.1-inch touchscreen tablet, make the display a matte (yay!)

Pixel Qi slice of glory and then stand back as all of geekdom rejoices. We're still only looking at renders, but this device is all set to make waves at CES with an impressive spec sheet that also includes WiFi, Bluetooth, UMTS/HSDPA, and A-GPS on the wireless front and connectivity via USB, HDMI, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The most important thing is still that display, though, whose efficiency leads to the unnamed device boasting 48 hours of battery standby juice, also good for 8 hours of HD video playback or 16 hours of WiFi-enabled Engadget reading.

Driven by a default (for now) Android UI and supposedly capable of running three simultaneous 1080p streams with little frame loss, this should be one hot piece of kit come January. For now, we have another shot after the break as well as the full data sheet. Comments. USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA to Video Display Adapter. Increase Productivity By As Much As 50% Multiple displays (previously used primarily by financial traders, graphic designers, and video gamers) are now a common requirement for modern, everyday computer users that require viewing a volume of personal content and websites simultaneously. Studies have shown productivity gains of 10% to 50% with multiple monitor use, because users are able to perform more work in less time and with fewer errors.

Examples of such features are Keynote Presentations, iPhoto Slideshows and iMovie. Add a monitor in 3 easy steps... 1. Plug the Newer Technology USB 2.0 Display Adapter into any of the computer's available USB 2.0 Ports. 2. Iron Samurai - Japanese Inspired Red LED Watch.

There are already a thousand gadgets in the marketplace that will analyze a person’s fitness level.

It was only a matter of time before devices that offer sleep analysis begin to enter the marketplace, the WakeMate is one of those devices. The WakeMate is a Bluetooth sleep analysis device specifically for phones. The WakeMate itself is a wristband that works in conjunction with cell phone technology to allow people to sleep and feel better. The device works by analyzing a person’s sleep to find the optimal time to wake the person. This way they feel energized and refreshed when they wake up.

The problem with traditional alarm clocks is it that they wake a person at a random point in their sleep cycle. The WakeMate can also help a person sleep better because some people wake up and still felt tired due to low-quality sleep. The WakeMate works with a phone. Via CoolestGadgets.

Concrete Canvas. Need a semi permanent structure? Well this concrete cloth by UK-based company Concrete Canvas’s has just won material of the year 2009. Once the cloth shelter is erected the hardening process is then started by just adding water. Originally designed for concrete canvas shelters the British army now use it to create fortified positions using sandbags and lining trenches etc.. Concrete Canvas Shelters are rapidly deployable hardened shelters that require only water and air for construction. The 25sqm variant can be deployed by 2 people without any training in under an hour and is ready to use in only 24 hours. The key to CCS is the use of inflation to create a surface that is optimised for compressive loading. This allows thin walled concrete structures to be formed which are both robust and lightweight.
