Blackboard offers you a new way to write

blackboardNo, this is no ordinary blackboard that the older generation grew up with, where the use of chalk and a duster educated millions of children during their formative years. This is the blackboard of the 21st century, where technology has been fused to an ancient idea in order to deliver the best of both worlds. The folks behind the Boogie Board has come up with the definitive Blackboard, where it has been described as an electronic writing tool that features Liquid Crystal Paper, enabling one to write, edit and erase as though one was using pencil on paper.

Arriving in time for the holiday season later this year, the Blackboard has been touted to be the next evolution when it comes to writing. This revolutionary new electronic writing tool is the first of its kind that boasts of Liquid Crystal Paper, opening up new avenues for one to plan, write and design using one’s hand. In fact, it is so comfortable to use with your hand, it might not even feel new at all despite all of the high end technology infused within.

The Blackboard will write and erase electronically without requiring the use of ink or paper. Not only that, there are also new innovations which have been thrown into the mix, not the least of it being the proprietary Liquid Crystal Paper feature set that results in the most comfortable and natural paper-like writing experience to date. There is no lag or delay to worry about, and neither do you need to turn it on or plug in, which means no charging is required. The button cell battery has been touted to last for a good 5 years before a replacement is required, now how about that? If you want to get your hands on a 8.5″ x 11″ Letter-sized, semi-transparent writing surface, then the $44.99 Blackboard is right up your alley.

Mitte smart healthy water system

mitteThere are many different kinds of water purification systems out there in the market, with some of them even having special plates that will increase the alkaline count of the water, claiming to be able to play a role in alleviating certain illnesses and sickness. Mitte would like to jump aboard the water purification bandwagon, but offer a twist to the situation instead by being a smart healthy water system. In other words, it will make use of the distillation process to purify your water, but also offer customized mineral enhancements that ensures each cup of water you drink is healthy.

Tap water tends to carry its fair share of impurities and is not the best barometer for life giving water, while traditional water purification systems simply purify but do not enhance. Mitte will offer the best of everything, resulting in a mineralized and contaminant-free water wherever it is installed. Gaining inspiration from nature, Mitte will feature mineral cartridges that replicate the naturally occurring process whenever pure water flows through rocks at the source, picking up minerals as it flows. With Mitte, users have the option to personalize their daily drinking water via 3 different mineral cartridges that will carry varying levels of natural minerals and ingredients.

Right now available as a Kickstarter project, it can be yours for as low as a pledge of $234. This is definitely a new solution that will help to go up against a long term global issue: access to pure, healthy drinking water. The trio of mineral cartridges offered include Alkaline with a high pH level, a Balance cartridge that will add basic minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium so that a softer water with a neutral taste is created to deliver better tasting coffee or tea, while the Vitality cartridge offers a higher concentration of such basic minerals in addition to a dose of trace minerals like manganese, iron, selenium and zinc, targeting those who live an active lifestyle and would like to survive on a healthy diet. Each cartridge is able to produce 400 liters of pure and re-mineralized water.

808-xlv808 Audio might be a relatively young company, having started off in 2011, but it also happens to be one of the fastest growing and top performing audio brands. This goes to say a whole lot about just how great its products are, and the company has just announced the 808 Audio XL-V, making it the very first venture into the smart home market that will help expand its range from the portability of the CANZ products.
