Here is a great little gadget for the neurotic hypercondriacs like myself. The Samsung MyFit is more than just an MP3 player. This little device tells you how to stay fit and healthy. In the video you can see it check my stress level (it was “very good”) and even can tell you your melanin level (I was 175 due to my Greekness). But that’s not all, it can even tell you how fat you are… by serving up your BMI index. This little gadget is so feature packed you’ll burn calories just navigating it.
There is no release date or price yet… however, this will definitely be on my gadget wish list.
The 2010 Range Rover will feature a 12″ TFT LCD instrument cluster which has traditionally been analog dials — I think this is really, really, really cool! You can see in the above photo how this display will look. Using a LCD screen Land Rover can change the display based on the type of mode the car is in as well as offer a menuing system — this would have been a sweet project to been a part of! Being a Land Rover enthusiast myself, I love how they kept with the look and feel of the current analog dials. I can’t wait to see this technology in all cars.
“The new display technology used by the 2010 Range Rover is a major advance. It gives us tremendous flexibility in presenting information, so that the driver gets precisely the data they require, in all driving conditions,” explains Nick Rogers, Chief Engineer, New Vehicle Architecture.
