Feel Clean And Refreshed Each Time You Use The Toilet

TOTO electronic toilets have been around for a while, what makes this worth talking about is the promotional video they have posted on their site. It's halarious! Be sure to check it out and for those of you actually interested in the WASHLET E200, upon activation, the automatic wand extends to provide a gentle stream of warm aerated water. It gives you what they call, "an unparalleled level of comfort and clean" feeling. For maximum soothing, they've included a massage feature, a warm air dryer and a temperature controlled heated seat with energy-saver functionality. A must for someone that has it all... [Thanks Reece!]

micromp3pro.jpgOh my! Kanguru Solutions, has released a "high quality" MP3/WMA Player, Digital Voice Recorder and portable USB flash drive called the Micro MP3 Pro (what a catchy name). It's just over 3 inches long, it works with pretty much any device that accepts USB flash drives and has a back-lit LCD which can display ID3 tags, like Artist/Song Title. These are small and cheap... $75 for a 64MB, $100 for the 128MB, and $130 for the 256MB version... a 512MB is coming soon.

It was bound to happen, Sony Connect Inc. formally announced the domestic launch of its new Connect online music store, offering an easy-to-use, affordable and legal way of purchasing music online for download to a wide variety of Sony portable electronic devices. Connect.com has licensed more than 500,000 tracks from all major and many independent music labels, as well as exclusive content from such artists as Avril Lavigne, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, and Toby Lightman. The store will not employ a subscription model; rather, it will offer content ala carte-style, with singles starting at 99 cents, and entire albums starting at $9.99. Users may play the Connect downloads an unlimited number of times on up to three personal computers that are registered with the Connect store, including the personal computer on which the Connect Downloads are originally downloaded. In general, users may then transfer the licensed Connect Downloads an unlimited number of times onto portable music devices and media that are compatible with the store. In addition, users may "burn" up to ten CDs (five in ATRAC format and five in Redbook format). Connect users can define their own genre home page to customize their shopping experience, and Connect is the only store with album pages for every artist.
