While most calculators these days are dual-powered (that is, they rely on either the batteries within or on natural sunlight), who would have thought of a water-powered calculator? Well here you have one in the flesh, where electrolytes within water will enable you to ensure that your tax returns are all properly balanced. While this is a rather interesting device to own (at $8.99 a pop it is worth checking out if you have the loose change to spare), one does wonder whether you would use a calculator anywhere else without light. Perhaps a water-powered wireless mouse would be a much better idea.

NTT DoCoMo has revealed a new safety device which is capable of obtaining high-precision location information courtesy of its GPS function. This device enables location tracking whenever the slide switch is pulled, allowing family members and authorities to get a better idea of just where the user is at the moment. In addition, the slide switch also functions as a crime prevention buzzer switch on the device itself just in case you get into a rather sticky situation. Dubbed the CTG-001G, this device was developed by Giant Electronics on behalf of DoCoMo. Would be nice to see more of such devices here in the West.
The folks at Amosu have taken the Motorola RAZR 2 and added an extra layer of bling for those with way too much cash to spare. This luxury version of Motorola's svelte clamshell has been christened the RAZR2 V8 Luxury Diamond Edition, and from its name alone, you can tell that it costs a bomb. It will be available in extremely limited quantities - 5 to be exact, so if you're aren't in the millionaire's club, you can forget about wrapping your mittens around this baby. 
Looks like there is a new Asus M930W smartphone in the works, and this Windows Mobile 6-powered device features a Marvel PXA270M 520MHz processor.

Doraemon lovers, rejoice! There is a new remote controlled Doraemon in town which is sure to please fans of Japan's famous robotic cat. Known as the Doraemon RC helicopter, he is easy to navigate with the dummy proof remote controls. The Doraemon RC helicopter measures a mere 7cm in height, tipping the scales at 21.3 grams. I suppose anyone (regardless of whether adult or kid) with a soft spot for Doraemon will find this $64 toy a purchase worth every penny.

Looks like Wal-Mart won't be offering its online video download service anymore, and this news comes as a shock since the service has been live for less than a year. This came about after HP discontinued the technology that powered it, and Wal-Mart won't be looking for a different technology partner as well, hence the closure of the video download-only merchant store service. At the end of the day, it is profit that matters, and since this organ failed to translate to a surplus of dollar signs, it is but wise to can the entire service. Have you downloaded movies before, and do you think Wal-Mart has no faith in the long term advantage of movie downloading?
