What could be best used as an auxiliary tooth brush stashed away in your glove compartment, the OHSO Pocket Toothbrush is also cheap enough to forget about.  Priced at $20, toothpaste is stored at the tip and it is easy to refill and clean.

OHSO was engineered to be the ultimate travel toothbrush. Besides looking good the OHSO is useful and durable. Toothpaste is stored in the handle for safekeeping and the window shows you how much paste is in the chamber. Turn the knob clockwise and paste is dispensed though the rubber nozzle on the bristle head. Tilt down and paste is delivered directly to the bristles.

Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR

Wild-Planet-Spy-Video-TRAKR-1-540x491

The Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR is absolutely everything you wanted as a child.  Broadcasting wireless audio and visual feeds from the TRAKR to the remote is simply awesome and you can even hook it up to your PC via USB and program commands into it.  I’m not sure how deep this programming goes but it’s got to make this thing that much better.

What is easily the most notable feature however, is the inclusion of the microphone on the remote and the speaker on the RC drone.  You can broadcast your imminent arrival from afar, or simply sneak up on somebody and scare the hell out of them.

The Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR will go on sale in October of this year for a retail price of $120.  I gotta try one.

Ain’t Nothing Nice: NetFlix Streaming Won’t Be Available On The iPad

January 28th, 2010 4:55 PM | by Jeff Bordeaux

Yesterday Steve Jobs touted the iPad as being the best way to view mobile video.  While iTunes will quench most people’s thirst for movies and Tv programs, as of now NetFlix streaming will not be available on the iPad.

NetFlix CEO Reed Hastings has said that they are not currently developing an app to view streaming content for the iPad or any other Apple device.  Reed laid mention to the fact that they are still trying to conquer the “large screen” format and want to primarily focus on that for the time being.

What most people might not be aware of is that NetFlix uses Microsoft’s IIS Media Services to stream content through the Silverlight plugin, and has as of recent enabled IIS7 to transcode to an iPhone-compatible stream so you can use it through mobile Safari instead of needing a separate app to do so.

The bottom line is that the technology is there, but so far NetFlix isn’t interested.
