(PRWeb UK) January 14, 2011

The T6 Water Dispenser, a funky new gadget is set to replace the traditional kettle and water coolers for homes and offices around the UK.

Named the T6 because its makers regard it as the sixth indispensible kitchen appliance, is a stylish water dispenser that is essentially a combination of a kettle and a water cooler. Fed directly from the mains water supply, the T6 dispenses water at four different temperatures; chilled, ambient, hot and boiling hot.

The T6 houses a triple filtration that removes odours, particles of sand, silt, rust and chlorine in the water supply down to a 0.6 micron. Chilled water is exposed to a UV lamp which destroys micro-organisms and its ?Zero Air Gap Technology? prevents bacteria.

Nick Heane, managing director at Tana Water which is launching the product for homes and small businesses, said: ?We have been so used to technology charging forward in all sorts of aspects of our lives.?

?But the kettle has been ignored during this technological revolution. Its basic form is pretty much the same as 100 years ago ? you put water into a metal container, heat it and wait for it to boil. It is very inefficient.?

?The T6 modernises this whole process by keeping insulated a supply of water just below the boil, ready to deliver hot water by the cup. No more waiting for the kettle to boil and no more waste by boiling too much water.?

?Not only does the T6 deliver hot water at temperatures for perfect tea and coffee, it dispenses triple-filtered chilled water which you can cool to a temperature of your choice. We believe it is going to be one of the must have gadgets in 2011.?

As it is connected to the mains water supply, the T6 Water Dispenser delivers crystal clear water, all day every day without the need for bottled water. It comes in 12 different colour schemes and is approved under the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme.

Sell those old electronic, mobile, and camera gadgets that you have lying around and save the environment.

We all have used electronic equipment lying around that you can no longer use but  don’t know what to do with. Yes, you could just throw them away but something in your conscious probably stops you from doing so.  You probably feel that throwing away that old game console, PDA, or LCD monitor will somehow end up causing harm to our planet.

If this sounds like you, you are not alone.  Many people feel the same way and simply don’t throw these items just because they feel guilty about putting something harmful in a land fill. They would rather try to recycle used gadgets or give them to someone who can make use of them.

The good news is that there is a way to get rid of those old devices in a responsible and financially rewarding. Not only can you recycle your used gadgets such as camcorders, camera lenses, and blackberry,  but you can actually get paid for them.  By doing this, not only will you be helping the environment, but you will also be doing your bank account a favor as well.

So where do you go to sell your used electronic devices toys?  While there are several websites out there that will buy them from you, there is one place that distinguishes itself from the others. This company is special because it is not only dedicated to giving you the most money when you sell used electronics, mobile phones, and other gadgets, but it is also dedicated to helping the environment. This company is called Gazelle .

Let me explain further why this company stands out from the rest. For starters, they don’t operate like a typical junk dealers.  When you send in your items for recycling, each piece is carefully inspected to see if it is still in good working condition or not.  If so, then the item is sold to a retail or wholesale outlet and hopefully bought by a new owner.

Keep in mind that although your interest is in getting rid of that old item, there are many others who would love to have that GPS or other device that you no longer want. Its kind of like that old boyfriend tat you dumped.  Although you no longer wanted him, someone after you was probably happy to get him.

The reason most people buy recycled items is than many either cannot afford to buy the products new or, in some cases, just aren’t willing to pay the “new” price. Even in cases where price is not the issue,  some people just like things that carry that old vintage look.  The Gazele system of recycling makes it possibnle to meet the needs of both type buyers.

If you are curious now about how the recycling system works, here is a brief summary. Once your item is received, your are sent an email confirming receipt of your item and one more email when your payment has been sent.  Next, your item it is  carefully inspected and evaluated for resell potential.

For any products that are in good working condition, they prepare them for offering through sales channel they have set up.  For laptops , old computers, I-pods etc., they extend the life by erasing all memory storage devices that might have had information stored on them.  Any electronics that can be resold “as is” or repaired easily, is cleaned up and set aside for further sorting.  This whole process takes about one week from the time your item is received.

The next step is to deal with the items that cannot be resold. Instead of just junking them, these items are taken apart and salvaged for parts. These parts are then sorted and sold to other recycling companies, who in turn, use them to create new products.

For example, if you were to sell used gadgets to Gazelle, even if they didn’t work, they would still be recycled in a responsible manner. If you sent them an old laptop, and it didn’t work,  the mother board, sound card, and other salvageable items would be removed and used in other laptops they had that needed these specific parts to work again. The other parts:  cases, monitor screens and such, would be recycled as well.

This is a win-win situation for all so go ahead and clean up that storage area of old, unwanted gadgets and make some money while you are at it.  They will even pay the shipping and will even send you a box.  Sell your items today!

Being Bond with Cool Spy Gadgets

Sometimes, feeling secure in your day-to-day life means going covert and using cool spy gadgets .

These incredibly inventive devices for getting the truth, or just protecting yourself, vary in size and shape. Making them look like ordinary objects was a concept derived from the Cold War, when government espionage was a way of life and a means to providing the best in National Security.

Now, the same ideas that were used then by the government, can be yours for use in our home, or office. Looking in on your employees to track their movements on the business computer, or just picking up evidence of an audio or visual nature regarding personal attacks, is as easy as fitting a camera inside a shirt button.

For visual and audio evidence of any kind, you may need to go small. Cameras and microphones are simple to hide today using devices that look as though they belong. With a remote audio recording ear piece that fits deep inside your ear canal, you can look natural while you record conversations, arguments, and even confessions.

If you are needing visual evidence to go with the audio, then a cleverly planted camera hidden inside a functioning Bluetooth connector can pick up on all your video needs. If you are needing further evidence of wrong doing, catch the criminal in the act with a hidden camera refillable lighter with a microphone.

Most of these come with internal memory, or have an SD card port for extended memory. It can record everything that happens and then can be downloaded onto your computer and reviewed later.

For further video evidence, you can use any number of hidden camera devices, such as a CMOS camera, roughly the size of a pinhole. This camera is so small, that next to a dime, it is about half the size of the dime.

There are also cameras disguised as screws and shirt buttons and come in different sizes. These cool spy gadgets are easy to use and helpful when trying to catch someone in the act doing something they are not supposed to.

If you are having a difficult time tracking evidence of your secretary, or other employee, improperly using the company computers, then there are other ways to track your employees computer uses.

Keyloggers can record the keystrokes typed and store them on the device. There are many different designs for keyloggers, but most are not reliable as they can suffer information loss when they are unplugged. Others rely on spyware programs that can be detected and removed. However, there are several designs that function in the background and cannot be detected as easily.

Welcome To Gadgets 2010

Gadgets 2010 is your source of information and opinions on the newest gadgets and gizmos from around the world.

What Are Gadgets and Why Should You Care?

Although for many the term “gadget”  itself is somewhat abstract, we all use them in some form or another in our daily lives and often refer to them using  our own original terms – “thinga ma jig” or  perhaps something more creative .   For starters, I guess we should paint a clearer of picture of just what they are.

Gadgets, also known as gizmos, are objects, electronic devices, and software applications that have a particular function and are usually developed based on the latest trends and technologies.

These  “technological” objects and appliances enhance our lives by making daily task easier or more exiting and enjoyable.  To get a feel for just how much of an impact gadgets have in our lives, try imagining what life would be life without mobile communication devices such as the iPhone and all of the wonderful applications that can be used with it.

If you were to lose your mobile, would you even know your friend’s telephone numbers? I’d be in a bind. Personally, if I don’t have my mobile with me when I leave the house for work, I feel as though I am leaving the house only partially dressed.

Your indispensable gadget might not be your mobile but be assured that there is some gadget that you rely on daily and getting along without it would take some adjusting.

If you are one of the rare few who feel you don’t need any gadgets in your life,  just think about some daily task that you dread doing.  Now, think of a way that task could be made easier or more enjoyable. Now, you guessed  it, find a gadget that is suitable for the task. More than likely there is one available to meet your particular need.

A Wide Variety of Gadgets Available

Fortunately, when it comes to gadgets, there is an endless stream of new stuff hitting the market every day.  And there is practically no limit as to the variety of gadgets that you can find.

I mean there are gadgets for computers, games, phones, kitchens,  home bars, radios, solar energy, camping and outdoor, and even special categories of gadgets for geeks and men.

Gadgets 2010 Vision

The aim of this sight is to keep you informed about the many cool products that are hitting the market every day. In the form of product overviews, reviews, videos, RSS feeds, and ongoing discussions, we hope to keep you informed about the latest happenings and product releases in the world of gadgets.

Broken down by category,  are brief overviews of just some of the categories of gadgets that will be featured on this site.

Go ahead and read through the rest of our home page or, if you come across a category that is of interest to you, go ahead and click on the section header to access that section of the site.  As the site is still in development, please understand that some sections might not have a lot of content at the mo0ment. Over the next few weeks, I will be adding more and more content and features so make sure to keep stopping by to see what’s new.  Pretty soon you will be able to sign up for my alerts and get notified of new content as it gets posted.

Gadgets 2010 Site Category Overviews

Geek gadgets

I decided to start out with this category as the two terms “geeks” and “gadgets” tend to be inseparable to many. This is a sort of a broad category under which we will be placing shall I say, “more unique” or “geeky”, items.  A few such items that that would be suitable matches are  the Star Trek wetsuit and the underwater scuba mask with camera attached.

And , how about a USB powered mini fridge to make sure you always a have a cold beer within an arm’s  reach when working on your computer.  As you can tell, this section is reserved for some of the stranger items for only super geeks.

Computer Gadgets

Closely related to and somewhat intertwined with the geek family of gadgets are those related to Windows and Mac operating systems. These items come both  in the form physical item as well as software applications.

As one might guess, software gadgets function to simplify or to make the performance of computer-related tasks more enjoyable.

One such application is Clean My Mac, which does just that. It helps you clean up unwanted files, unneeded  languages, and trash  left behind by applications thus helping your computer run more safely and efficiently.

There are also sidebar gadgets, which are mini apps that allow you to perform a wide variety of computer-related task right from your desktop. Usually accessible via graphic icons on your computer desktop, these mini programs are used to gather weather and business data, stream radio over the internet, and even generate slide shows of images.

One of the most popular such application is the calendar app, which, yes, acts as a calendar.

And, for computer condition monitoring, there is a CPU temp gadget to help you monitor the temperature of your processor? Now how cool is that!

Hardware Gadgets

This category would not be complete without mentioning the various hardware gadgets that can be used with computers. At the top of the list are webcams which can enhance your online communication experience by allowing you to send visual images, in almost real time, across the internet.

Two other really popular items are USB storage devices and USB mini lamps that run off the power provided by your computer.

Electronic gadgets

This is actually a broad category under which many other categories of gadgets could fall under. I say this because basically everything nowadays relies on a source of power in order to operate. If  the product does not require electrical power, then an electronic version of that product does.

Some of the hottest items I have found through research are mini portable speakers that are perfect for use with laptop and notebook type computers. I predict these will increase even more in popularity in 2010 as they are conveniently small, require no extra power source, and are stylish looking.

Speaking of looking,  here is something  to enhance our viewing pleasure. Advances in LCD technology will bring new super thin 2.6mm thick screen viewing to the TV seen.

You can also look forward to some improved models of e-book readers equipped with batteries that can last as long as 10 days before needing a recharge. Imagine taking one of these on vacation and not having to recharge the battery the whole time.

Phone gadgets

Just when you thought they had done everything possible with regards to enhancing phone features and designs. Yes, applications for the Iphone keep on coming and one of the latest the applications is called befreeiphone. This app allows you to use your phone to access and control your desktop computer from a remote location.

Not only are there new apps for use with mobile phones, but some really cool physical design concepts are in the mix as well.

The newest creative concepts in this area involve the use of  transparency and flexibility  in designs. These attributes give newer phones a futuristic look and allow them to be bent into various forms and in some cases even be worn around one’s wrist.

Along with the development of new applications and designs for phones is an increase in the number of phone features. Slowly phones are becoming all-in-one sort of devices that will soon become multi-functional accessories with all sorts of capabilities.

Mens Gadgets

Since men tend to be the most captive audience when it comes to new gadgets, there is a category of products specifically geared towards men known as “mens gadgets” or “boys toys.” Since men tend to love sports and sports cars,  this category will feature things like portable navigation systems, tech devices, and other gizmos that are in sync with the interests of most men. Pretty much anything that will enhance a man’s sports viewing or music-listening experience, is appropriate for this section.  Some things that come to mind are head phones, boom boxes, and even portable televisions to make sure he doesn’t miss that opening kickoff of the super bowl.

Cool Kitchen Gadgets

Now let’s move on to some useful devices that moms might be more interested in. How about an automatic egg cracker with a built in separator unit? Or, perhaps,  she’d like a new automated pancake maker that makes perfect pancakes every time?

Since cutting and slicing are a common task in every kitchen, an all purpose, light weight knife designed for slicing, cutting, mincing, dicing or cutting, would be a nice gadget to have. And if you love garlic, but hate to have your hands smell like garlic days later, a garlic slicer would be a perfect addition to your kitchen.

Along the same lines is the gliding peeler that allows you to peel cucumbers and other vegetables in a matter of seconds, while eliminating the risk of you cutting yourself. These are just a few examples of the many things you can find under the latest cool kitchen gadgets category that we will be including. Let us not be confined to only the kitchen as there many gadgets made for use in other parts of the house as well.

Home Gadgets

With the growing concern about influenza and the spread of germs in general, there are numerous gadgets that are designed specifically to help put your mind at ease. One example is the germ eliminating wand. It is equipped with a UV-C light and is designed to kill 99% of mold, viruses, mites, and bacteria from different areas of your house. And, if you need protection outside your home, you can try using a potable ionic USB air purifier. This one is great for hotel use as well as in the home.

Getting away from the topic of bugs and germs, let’s move on to something more pleasant: home entertainment.  Although the flat screen TV, new speakers, and gaming system are great for entertainment, nothing seems to set the entertainment scene like a nice home bar. And to make life easier for our home bar tender, are home bar gadgets to make drink mixing and serving a more enjoyable experience.

Check out this section for these and other home-related gadgets, to include those for home security.

Camping and outdoor

And when you are not at home, at the office, or in a hotel, you are probably outdoors soaking up some sun or participating in some fun outdoor activity.  Well, fortunately are many useful gadgets for enhancing the time you spend doing  outdoors activities as well.

One popular activity, camping, is one in which camping gadgets and equipment can really come in handy.

For those of you who are into camping, I am sure you know just how burdensome it can be carrying around all that heavy camping gear.  Well to the rescue is the  Micro light silicone solo tent.

And for you family of campers, you’ll be happy to know that you can camp with the family and still have privacy.  Tents with removable separator panels make it possible for the whole family to sleep under one tent yet still maintain some degree of privacy.

Spy and Police

And since no site about gadgets would be complete without including spy-like devices, we have included a section for spy gadgets as well.

For all you James Bond, I-spy, and Inspector Gadget lovers, we’ll be featuring an assortment of cool listening, recording, image capturing, and other spy gadgets like the ones seen in movies.

Made to look like everyday objects, you can get data gathering devices in the form of pens, radios, sunglasses, and even soda pop cans. Whether you are on a mission or just having fun, these devices are sure to meet your needs.

On a more official level, even police authorities are taking a greater interest in advanced information gathering and enhancement devices that make it easier for them to perform their jobs.

One item that seems to be at the top of many police departments wish lists are the new tasers that come with mounted cameras. These are of particular interest because the added camera feature  will help in providing proof of how a device was used on a suspect.

Also hot are gadgets for video enhancement to add clarity to video captures of criminals caught on film.

Come on Inside!

Come on inside and have a look at the information and ongoing discussions we have about all sorts of gadgets from around the world.
Feel free to leave comments and make sure to come back frequently to see what is new on the site.

Since I live here in Tokyo, I plan to feature a lot of Japanese gadgets that are available in home centers and department stores across Japan. I also plan to feature a lot of goods that can be found in Tokyo’s geek capitol: Akihabara.
