Toyota :)
In 2012, whoah seems like a long time from now, but.. time goes by fast, anyways, Toyota will begin selling electric vehicles in the U.S.. They are determining what platform and what model will be battery powered.
"Bill Reinert, national alternative-fuel vehicle manager for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., said Toyota is determining the new vehicle's range between charges."
"We are wishing for the sky and making deals with the devil as we go down the road," Reinert said at the Detroit auto show. "We are looking for a 50-mile range right now" when such features as the defroster, heater, windshield wipers and stability control are operating at the same time.
The front-drive FT-EV, a concept based on the small, two-door Toyota iQ, was displayed last week at the Detroit show with electric power. That concept shows the size of the electric vehicle Toyota plans to offer. The Toyota iQ is sold in Japan and Europe. There is no electric iQ.
Toyota expects the electric production car to be used as the second or third vehicle in a household, primarily for urban driving.
Reinert expects a charge will take about six hours using a 110-volt outlet or about two hours using a 220-volt outlet. The car will be powered by lithium ion batteries.
Toyota still must decide whether the vehicle will be offered regionally or nationally when it is launched in 2012 and whether it will be available for purchase or through a lease, said John Hanson, a Toyota spokesman. Price and import volume for the first year have not been determined.
Asked about the potential size of the market for electric vehicles, Reinert said it will depend on how fast and how extensive the infrastructure is put in place for recharging.
He said other factors are battery development and consumer acceptance of vehicle range and recharging times."

Camera Hidden in Belt Buckle

When you are up to a secret video and audio recording, you have a full set of possibilities. Every modern cell phone has a voice recorder inside, many of them have cameras. However, it would be clearly obvious that you are recording if you are holding phone in your hands. There are some special gadgets that are carefully designed for making discreet recordings, so it would be smart to use one of them. Usually they look just like ordinary things - pens, pencils, watches… This one looks like a belt buckle, and it really is a buckle - however, not the simple one. Details follow.This buckle has a secret hidden inside of it - tiny video and audio recorder. While looking like a usual accessory, it turns out to be an ultimate spy tool. Inside of this buckle rests a useful gadget that can record video and audio, and is beautifully camouflaged! Wireless cameras are a no-go in places where they can be detected by wireless camera detectors, so when you are forced to use another way of recording - put it on your belt and it will film everything you want, with practically no risk of getting caught. Miniature camera records video in 3GP video format (176x144, QCIF) with sound , which can be saved on the microSD card from 128 MB up to 2 GB. After that, recordings can be played on PC or on your mobile phone. It can live 3 hours on one battery charge, but if you want to record a 3 hour length video you'll need some spare cards - 1 GB microSD card can only take up to 33 minutes of video. It is available in two models: classic one, called Buckle DVR, and strangely shaped one called Obaba DVR.This gadget, named Ajoka Obaba Buckle DVR Camera, will be very useful for investigation or evidence collection. It can't be seen by wireless camera detectors, it is comfortably hidden inside your belt buckle - a perfect companion in such missions. However, not everything is so bright. Camera records in a very small resolution - even modern cameraphone can do much better. It will be very difficult to see small details, if not impossible at all. Quality was sacrificed to the size and comfort - so if you want almost invisible camera that is not detected by any sensors then you can give this gadget a try.

Laser Light Lane Eases Bicyclist's Life
Because Bicycles are much cheaper and less complicated than cars, like paying fees for entering city centers and doesnt use and fuel. Bike are more mobile than cars because u dont have to get stuck in traffic. But Many citizens who use bicycles everyday wants to buy cars as soon as possible so they can travel in more comfortable way and they want to feel themselves safer.
The Altitude Inc. has designed a awesome laser light lane gadget that is attatched to the bike. The gadget draw shape of a bike lane. "It was design in a way so the rider will be visible in the dark. That way drivers won't brake into his own space. Laser light will probably grow dim in the lights of a vehicle or street illumination. If we dive into Highway Code, we find out that bicyclist is a participant of the road traffic, which means he can use a full lane. Why to bother with gadgets and confuse drivers in this case? Anyways, if LightLane helps to avoid accidents on the road, it will by highly appreciated. LightLane shouldn't be an expensive device, so why not to reinsure then?"
