The 10 most memorable Gadgets in Asia in 2008

2008 has almost reached its end and its time for the world as a collective whole to take a breath to gather his thoughts and throw away the lists of changes in the year that people did sit up and take notice.

While the first half could have been called a Mac (Intosh) attack (first was the MacBook Air, then the iPhone 3G) and second half of the year was ecopocalypse get even had more news and gadgets out there that drew attention people.

Here's what we thought were memorable gadgets to emerge from Asia in 2008 …

Asus Eee Netbooks

Could be its size, price or the fact that, for a time, manufacturers of portable Eee line of computers to the Linux operating system on their laptops on Windows and OSX, but I had a long way through a Taiwanese company statement this year.

The last entry on the market two models did everything thinner and added a 3G modem in the November release of the Eee PC S101, Eee PC 1002H captured almost as much attention as the beginning of the year.

HTC G1

Many of the rumors about the HTC G1 Android surrounded the operating software from Google (which is actually working for a U.S. company called Android before that Google bought the company in 2005 and served on the staff), announced in November 2007.

However, the Taiwanese company HTC, (better known in advance to the telephone contact as the HTC Touch and computers like the HTC Shift) was the first in line when making the hardware to go along with the software.

Many of the reviews of the HTC G1 have been uneven so far, but the signs are improving.

Chinavasion Projector Phone

2008 was a long year for the phones and the target = "_blank" title = "Chinavasion"> Chinavasion Projector Phone was one that called the attention of a lot of people. This could come from two places …

Pico projectors were as hot property as far as cell phones with companies competing to be the first to launch Pico projector gadget blogs business and trying to guess when.

3M seemed about to be the first in line for mass production projector on the market when Chinavasion has done more than win at the entrance. It was a bit of Mash Up Web 2.0 to create a phone mobile or projector.

Mind you, given the history Chinavasion current track, perhaps not a surprise.

Softbank 823SH Tiffany

Japan, famous for their love of cell phones, gadgets and anything weird.

Therefore, it should be no surprise when a phone provider Japanese Softbank Mobile was "ecopocalypse what ecopocalypse?" and took a smart phone with a case made entirely of silver and diamond jewelry Tiffanie New York "

The Softbank 823SH Tiffany has 537 diamonds, weighing 18.34 carats, embedded in the case and will cost around 13 million mark yen ($ 130,265 this is for U.S. residents). If you want better get your skates on because the company according tothe will initially only 10.

Pyocotan's Noriko San Goggles

While we're on the topic of "Japan is not weird" this piece of technology to hit the interwebs about October. The length of time people spend commuting in Japan is not exactly anything new, nor is the fact that people go to sleep in and miss their commute stop.

Hacker Japanese Pyocotan, came up with a new twist on the old sign around his neck and the smell of cheap alcohol, Noriko-san Goggles showing the destination they were heading to … people wake you up when?

Cassette MP3 Player

While Chinavasion launched by the company in late 2007 MP3 player Cassette does not really capture the attention of the blogger to the beginning of next year. Once people got the idea and held at least 12 months, was in mouth of someone somewhere.

Perhaps the success of this MP3 player is that is cheap, nice and people use equipment that could have been intended to be sold outside the boots of cars at flea markets and below overamps highway.

Styson scrimmage

Another cheap and cheerful gadget of Great China area (OK Taiwan) is the i-Knock. This gadget would be useful for 'set of social networks' hooked on their Facebook pages and messaging services Instant calls itself (and plays a tune If the program is fine) whenever it receives an instant message. The perfect place for pictures of the unused ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend

Hopefully the end of 2008 will mark the end of the i-motion. This movement voice makes me want to hit babies.

Samsung Touch Sight

Although still in concept phase of this would definitely be one of the coolest things to come out this year. The Touch Sight is a camera for the blind that takes an image with the Braille and sound that homeowners can store and share with friends.

Chinavasion Super Cool Mobile Phone Wrist Watch

The idea cell phone clock has long been, from a 1946 Dick Tracy strip, at least, but did not really hit the market until midway through this year.

This cool watch mobile phone was the beginning of a flood of phones in the wrist and the realization of the wonderful dreams of childhood half of many older men.

Watch Tokyo Flash

There have been too many months pass one of these clocks did not appear in the gadget blogs.

It takes special skills to work outside, using digital time if they do and are silver … it's a miracle that no thought for the first time in the 80's
