Auto Mee S - Robotic tablet cleaner

Image


The robotic device, called the Auto Mee S, slides around the glass display of any phone or tablet, cleaning the display to a perfect shine with two rotating cleaning pads. It can sense the edges of your device to avoid falling off (and breaking from the minimal fall, of course), and completes the cleaning job in about 8 minutes for a tablet or 4 minutes for a phone.

Coolest gadget? The Superbook!

The Superbook is a shell that turns your Android smartphone into a complete laptop. Get the freedom of using just one computer.

Image


Your smartphone is an incredibly powerful computer.

You already do a lot on your smartphone: it's convenient, portable, and holds all of your apps, files, and contacts.

In fact, you could accomplish a lot more with it, but are often held back by its small screen size and limited mobile interface.

That's why we created the Superbook - to remove those restrictions and give you the freedom of using just one computer.


Back this project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/an ... a-laptop-f

The more backers, the more options they will add. Only a few days to go!

Charger SkyRC NC2500

Image Image

SkyRC mainly makes equipment for RC, that is chargers, power supplies, controllers and measurement equipment. This charger is a four channel analyzing charger, i.e. it can both charge and discharge batteries. It has a Bluetooth link and a app can be downloaded to monitored and control the charger from a phone (Android or iPhone).


I have a SkyRC charger for a while. It is a nice working charger in combination with the smartphone app. You need to study a bit about charging principles, but once you you're used to it you shall be amazed what you can get out of those little batteries once you start tweaking the charging settings. Very cool! - Zach

Dyson Pure Cool Link Air Purifier

Image Image

The Dyson Pure Cool Link Air Purifier is a Wi-Fi-connected fan that cleans the air in your home. It uses an array of sensors, a 360-degree HEPA filter, and a motor to monitor indoor air quality, automatically remove pollutants, and of course, to blow air. The fan can get noisy at high settings, but if you're looking for a sleek, high-tech air purifier and cost isn't a concern, the Dyson Pure Cool Link is an attractive option.


Surprise surprise... I have one in my bed room. I put it in 'silent' mode at night, and switch to automatic during the day. It's WiFi controlled, so I can tweak controls when I'm away. Great device, and... very cool! :D - Zach
