Do you think that electric vehicles are puny little things that can't muster enough speed? If you do, that's probably because you haven't checked out the MotoCzysz E1pc, an electric bike that sports a whole bunch of batteries, about 10 times the capacity of the Toyota Prius, giving it enough juice to reach speeds of 140 mph. The added bonus is that it looks really cool and futuristic, and you'd be doing your bit to save the environment. Check out a video of it after the jump.
What's 3D mouse will you ask? This time around, this is not an Air Mouse that can be waved like a remote. Instead Lexip's 3DM Pro looks like a regular mouse, except that it comes with additional controls and sensors that give you 6 degrees of freedom. In addition to being able to pan on a 2D plane like any mouse, the 3DM pro also has a mechanism that lets you control the Yaw (x-axis) and the Roll (z-axis, looking forward) by simply applying pressure to the front, back, left or right side of the mouse. An additional joystick placed on the right thumb (if you are right-handed) lets you control the Pitch
The Guitar Hero franchise has certainly come a long way since its inception, and the upcoming title, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will offer a controller redesign that is not only wireless, but will merge all of the electronics into the neck and fretboard. Basically, this means the body does not have the responsibility of holding sensitive electronics apart from looking good in your living room when you rock it out. Since there is no built-in circuitry, you are able to swap these guitar bodies at any time you want, which will be attached to the fretboard in a two-part wing formation. What do you think of this redesign - will the hardware influence your purchase of the game?
This is still very much a rumor and speculation at this point, but with WWDC just around the corner, you would more or less expect it. According to the folks at Boy Genius, the sales quotas for AT&T store reps are incredibly high for the month of June, increased by about 25-30%, leading to speculation that the iPhone 4G will be launched in June. That being said, they're speculating that if the iPhone 4G were to be launched on Friday the 25th, the sales quotas wouldn't be met in time, which leads them to conclude that the iPhone 4G will be launched on Friday, June 18th. Do you think that June 18th could be a possible launch date for the iPhone 4G?
Concept phones always look interesting, though very often the design isn't practical for day-to-day use if it were made into a real product. The Flutter was an entrant for LG's recently concluded Design the Future contest that encouraged users to come up with concept designs. This design didn't win the competition, though it did manage to grab the Prop Master's Choice Award. When closed, the Flutter looks quite sleek with only its numeric keypad showing, though we're not too sure how the user is expected to see what's going on. The phone can be split open to reveal a display that fans out, sporting a user interface that looks like an exact clone of Apple's iPhone. Don't expect to see this phone appearing in shops anytime soon.
The RUB Chopper that you see here is truly one of a kind, where it sports a working smoker that is attached at the side, thanks to the brilliant folks over at Orange County Chopper. You won't be able to find this anywhere else, that's for sure, and we'd be extremely careful when riding one of these just in case one accidentally forgets that the side holds a smoker and leans against it by accident. Forget about road rash - this will be a whole lot worse.
