Hi Folks! Thanks for logging in! I had so much fun looking at new technology last week that I want to do it again. Follow this link:

Yanko is a company that's really heavy on the design aspect of things. Everything this company posts is B-E-A-UTIFUL. Once you've looked at the technology stuff, take a minute to explore the website and see some of the other stuff they have listed.

So for your post this week please tell me what you think about something that you find on the technology portion of the Yanko site.

Now about that phone that smells like lavender . . .

Some of this stuff is really weird. The thing that I liked the most was the thing that you could write down music on, or sing into and it put it all together to make a song for you. I thought that was pretty dang nifty.

I know, right?!? said...

First a ibook. Now a lavender scented phone.....I sure hope you plan on finding me a rich hsuband so if you plan on getting all of this expensive stuff...lol

McCorvey,T-1 said...

What i like about the website is that it has, alot of intresting things to look at.My two favorite ones were the Ply Phone,and the Electric Slide Phone they both has intresting features.

Gilbreath,J-1 said...

I'd have to say that the Third Eye sounds rather interesting. I mean, come on! Who doesn't want a wikipedia and GPS in a single, monocle-sized piece of hardware? Such a device would be awesome to have!

But the iPhone Laptop...That's a bit much, don't you think? Too many 'i' products today, as I said in our last discussion.

Rigsby,D-1 said...

i like that big ipod alarm clock thing. That would be very nice to have but dang that thing is big as me i cant be carrying that around. Nice idea just to big.

Thompson,O-1 said...

i like the mp3 for life thing. that would be tight if in the future you could have like an iPod implanted in your brain so when you thing of any lyric in your head it continues the song.

Cole,R-1 said...

I like the OHM Personal Energy Device, just because I like to ride bikes, and they would just give me another reason to ride my bike.

The Pea Speaker system seems like fun to, I could place certain ones in different places or just roll them into random places. Though it might annoy my mom

But a lot of the things on there are cool

Calderon,A-1 said...

some of the stuff are so cool, i love the iphone laptop, because you can have two things at one. is going to be really sad if you lost it or got it stole because is two expensive so i will get really mad if i lost it or got it stolen. i hope that pretty soon we will have more technology and better than this products that YANKO COMPANY is offering us.

murillo, j - 1 said...

The runners know music can provide that extra oomph to make that last miles. The right music can relax us put us to sleep or heal us so it make sense it can also energize us.

Ashley Manis said...

Most on the stuff is interesting, but my favorite would have to be all the different designs for the USB cords. How awesome is that fish thing under gadgets?? And the asterick one is appealing to the eyes as well.

Broadway,M-1 said...

Some of this stuff is realy cool, but weird. The lamp that feeds off alkaline batteries is cool. The MP3 thing sound weird. But over all this styff is cool.

Hollingsworth,C-1 said...

The "Urban Security Suit" is scary looking. I guess it would be "stylish" if it didn't have such a freaky gas mask...it kinda reminds me of the Wall...
The digital pot that tells you what your plant needs seems really cool. All my plants die so maybe if there was a face on the pot glaring at me to water it, it might live.

rodriguez,stephen-1 said...

I like the bodibeat but 512 MB is too small and i have a ipod shuffle, (the little one clip not the cube!) so most my music is itunes "protected". It sux so much. It would be a nice thing to have but i would have buy a blank CD's(so primitive now lol) just to convert all my muic to MP3.

martines,j-1 said...

i think that some of this stuff is preaty cool and some of it is helpful. like the third eye that can help you if your lost. or like the alkaline battery lamp that disposes of alkaline batteryies safely

Liles, T-1 said...

Once again, another page of epicly stupid ideas, ill give you some of them are usefull in their own way, but i want to focus on the LAVENDER PHONE. WHAT A COLOSSULY STUPID IDEA! How does a phone that smells like an old lady help anyone? And what happens if the phone runs out of smell, the asthetic is completely ruined. I hope people arent fooled into actully buying this junk.

Driver,K- 2 said...

The majority of the things are really wierd and I dont like any of them. But I think the MP3 for like thing is great and it really is a good idea

Baker,M-1 said...

The energy seed is awesome. I'm a bit of an environmentalist and I think that anything that can help with the landfill problem is greatly needed. I have hundreds of batteries around my house and nothing to do with them. Turning them into energy is the first step in helping us transfer from nonrenewable resources like oil to renewable resources like electricity

allensworth, z-2 said...

all of this stuff seems pretty weird......that lavander phone for instance...how on earth did that andrew guy even come up with that? i for one don't like the scent of lavander but i also think the bacteria killing feature is neat.......i just don't get it though.....people are weird

mayfield,s-1 said...

Most of this stuff is really neat, but I would like to really get the iPHONE Laptop and the Zune phone.

reed, k - 2 said...

There were some intersting things on this website the thing that caught my eye was the iphone notebook it really does look like an iphone in a way so I thought that was really cool idea to come up with.It is very expensive though.

villanueva, manuel, N. 1 said...

i Really like this website but there were two things that really interested me and that was ipod alarm and the electric slide phone

packard,a-2 said...

i love the lavender phone!!! my favorite color is purple so i love it!! and it's very sanitary and when smelly people borrow your phone it will clean it all away!! and i think the third eye is a must have for travelers!! i want one because i will travel the world one day and i will be lost without it!! and it takes up less room than a camera, gps, encylopedia, and all the other things that this thing acts as!!! LOVE IT!!

Johnson,O-2 said...

I like the Energy Seed and the Voice Stick. I love The Experience Recorder & Paki The Hippo Is Eco-Edutainment. not much to say to it took a while to read all those articles

Dietrich,R-3 said...

I would enjoy the thrid eye because i mean come on its a monacul with a gps put into it. think of how fancy you would look with a freakin monacul with a gps on it. though still they should make it shoot out a lazer light. also the Iphone thats a laptop looked pretty cool. But now they should make a grape kool-aid smelling phone or car. they should totaly make a grape kool-aid smell for car scent. that would be freakin awesome

Patton,A-1 said...

it would be weird to have a phone that smelled like lavender.at least your phone wouldnt stink though.i like the iShow the ost.i thought that was really cool.

edlin said...

I think that all of this things are wierd and that i dont find them that useful. The only thing that got my attention was the iphone laptop i think that its pretty cool.

Kellerman,R-3 said...

I like the IPHONE Laptop idea... I read some of the comments they had for it on the site, and i have to agree with some of them. The iphone in the laptop is acting as a mouse pad, and like a plug in device. It isnt running the computer as a whole. Its just a part of it. The whole idea is pretty neat. Like how you can recieve and make a call while your phone is plugged into the computer. (hopefully when you have your phone plugged in it's charging).

anderson,p-3 said...

i like the third eye but i think it kind of weird and i dont really get it. All the "i" stuff is pretty cool. my favorite is the iPhone laptop.

och,s-4 said...

I got a bit sleepy reading about the iSleep thing. That sounds pretty relaxing but I don't know if 10 minutes is enough time to rest up.

The Pling Plong is interesting. I like the image of a parent reading to a child, but if there isn't time for that I suppose this would be a good alternative. It would probably cause independence in a child, which can be good. But is it causing technology dependence at a young age? I guess not if a parent makes it a point to not be busy every night.

The Airport Jitters sticker is a really neat idea. I remember going to California this summer. It was very nerve-racking. It would be great to have anything that would make the experience easier and less stressful.

Campbell,A-4 said...

Wow this stuff is awsome! I like that third eye thing the most though...although I wonder if it has a wi-fi connection or does it just have a HUGE memeory? Still it would be cool to look at something and know all about it.

borerw-4 said...

I like all the technology listed but my favorite for some reason is the third eye camara, it tells you every thing you want to know about a certain place like binoculers with an encyclopedia built in .Thats realy cool.

GARRETT,K-4 said...

i enjoyed looking at all the new items even though some were a waste off invention. the one that seemed to grab my attention was the silent alarm. waking up on time without all the noise is oh so awesome.

edwards, a - 4 said...

Wow. Seeing all this tech stuff is making me all dizzy! Yanko Designs are kind of cool and very innovative but they're also kind of bizarre. Unfortunately, I, too, am very bizarre and I like bizarre things. And I...really, REALLY want the i-sleep pillow! It's very useful. I'm extremely a light sleeper. I want to sleep peacefully without certain people *cough*mama*cough* waking me up at night and turning on every light on in the house, and TV turned up so loud. MAN, I really want THAT and the Fem-bot that tells stories about ancient times.

Abdul-786 said...

it was really fun looking ate these new inventions although some of them were the same the best one i liked was the iphone laptop.

Maness, J-6 said...

Its amazing to see what things people are coming up with, but some of these people just seem to have too much time on their hands. I mean, whats basically a computer shaped into a monocle? Some of these designers are aiming for the stars with their designs, not to mention that these look so complicated that they will be worth more than I, along with several other people, will be willing to pay

Meredith,B-6 said...

wow this tsuffs pretty cool just shows you the crazy technology people are coming up with these days i like the iphone idea because it plugs in but you still use it as a mouse so its working in 2 ways

wallace,c-6 said...

the third eye thing was crazy, i wouldnt mind one of those. except i would like a superman eye wear thing where i could see through walls and buildings and stuff.

taylor, Q - 6 said...

i ♥ lookin at all these different technolgies...they actually interest me...my favorite or mose usefull one for me would be the water prook phone...i so need it...i personally have dropped 3 phones in the sink,toilet, etc...sssh my mama doesnt know lol...lovin all of them tho

Cuarenta,A-6 said...

my favorite was the heart music thing. that would be great!!! i think that would give me the motivation i needed to do my workout☺
but people do have a lot of free time on their hands to invent all these new things...

Sauceda, Maria=]- 6 said...

Only a few of the stuff was kind of cool. The ipod laptod doesnt seem to credible but hey if its out there i would buy it!!.the phone that smell like lavender would be a good present.=].lol

Copeland, Juston7 said...

the products on the yanko were really cool especially the lamp to me because unless the alkaline batteries are recharable you have no use for them so the lamp to me was a good way to use dead batteries for energy other than that the other items were alright

Morgan,R-7 said...

these some of them are so cool i should to have them lol they are so intresting to me so much oh well some those are weird but i likes those alike iphone, laptop and more stuff i really want some of them lol ;) well these are so expensive!!!! WOW

arnold.t,7 said...

the thing that i like that i think is cool is the iphone cause i never seen one of those thing and i want one cause it is cool....then you can do alot's of things on that phone so that why i think it is cool....then i like the electric slide phone they both have good intresting features.

brittain,w-2 said...

I like the Twinned MP3 player. The thing thats so cool about it is u can load it up (or make your own playlists) and break it in half so 2 people can have the same music/playlist. the only way you can put more music on it is if the 2 parts are together

its ideal because if someone steals 1 half they cant delete/change the songs on it. but it probably doesnt have much memory right now

lathan,l-1 said...

we have some cool, most of it i dont know how to use. Im trying to learn how to use almost everything but i cant so i'm just trying to do.....! It's just realy fun to see alot a new stuff because people are gifted.

arriola,brett-1 said...

everything on the site looks cool but the thing i like most is the psp2 it would be awesome if you could roll it up and put it in your pocket. but it will probally never happen D:

mcgown,a-1 said...

Alot of the new gadgets are really cool, but most of them are not anything that i would want to purchase. Some of the items are not really practical for everyday use. I do really enjoy the website though because it show how technology is taking things to higher and higher levels.

Hernandez, Ruben 3rd said...

i think that this is good technology but i never seen this here in the USA, but after that everything is awesome cant wait to get it.

payne, j - 3 said...

The new psp 2 is going to be awesome!!!! The lavendar phone? What kind of gimmick is that? I dont buy a phone to smell it.

Brice, R-4 said...

Does anyone else think the Eye candy lollipop is the most amazing thing ever?!?!?!
Theres so many possibilites you could have with that thing.
Lick it and you get a image in your head...I am definatly gonna get that

morrow,k-4 said...

a lavender scented phone? who cares what a phone smells like sheese, freaking crazy but kinda cool if you like lavendar. the iphone laptop was a pretty awsome idea but too bad it prolly won't happen. people have some very...odd ideas for technology these days

Bixler,T-6 said...

the gates are awsome and I would love to buy and get some of these things.I would love the lavender gate.

Byrd,N-6 said...

So i think that third eye do hikey is pretty cool. I like the fact that you can use that instead of having to have a really annoying tour guide tell you about historical facts.

lee, s - 7 said...

Lot of stuff is relly weird. The thing make me crazy. something like new iPhone computer or iwhat other. other is really weird.

Lopez, M-1~☺ said...

That has got theo be the most coolest items that I've seen so far. That PSP 2 sounds awesome. All these things that were seen are basically the future things that we are needing now a days. As well as the lamp that uses used battries, that's pretty nifty if you ask me.

cano,ruben-7 said...

The stuff shown in YaNko were really cool high tech-things...wow the ply phone is something out of this world...I just remember like 3 years ago the Motorola Razer was the bomb and now its just the old stuff i mean can u belive this!!

Trikosko, M-1 said...

Some of the stuff on the site was unpractical, like the third eye, but I thought the battery recycler was neat. I liked the i-phone laptop but not very many people need one because not very many people can afford an i-phone in the first place.

Tri-Edge said...

after surfing the site I came accross some very interesting stuff.
I like the idea of having a barral shaped thing going around your yard and cutting the grass while at the same time using said grass to make a ball or a disk.
And I was a little creeped out by the light liquid I found.

robles,l-3 said...

the thing that i thought was preaty cool was that third eye thing. come on who would not want to use it. and that mp3 for live thing is nice. i also liked the electrict slide phone. man i wonder what else is going to come out. this is a preaty nice website.

Lanham said...

graded

tutt,matthew said...

some of the new tech makes some of what we had on the old blog last time look bad. the new touch screen phone looks cool and the one that smells like lavender is just out of the ordinary.

ibarra,j-4 said...

i will go for the peugeot flux car..!! its really nice, the design of cars are getting better and this one is one u would like to look at.
it has some parts of metal in it,, if its beetween 20 thru 40 thousand i would have for my graduacion gift :)
