UBanana uCan Waterproof MP3 Player

Considering that most of us get our music fixes from iPods or other MP3 Players, it is not surprising that we want to take our audio experience into the water. If you are the type that wants your music in the pool, you could invest in something that will keep the MP3 Player waterproof, such as the Atlantic EGO icebar2.

Or you could take the whole MP3 Player and make it waterproof, at least up to 3 meters. This is where portable media players such as the uBanana uCan come in.

You may notice that the UBanana uCan sort of resembles the Opera Headphones that we reported on a few weeks ago. I don’t think that there is any copyright infringement going on here. The design is meant to fit on the back of the head, so you don’t have to worry about any pesky cords.

However, I can’t speak about the Opera on this, but the uBanana uCan can float. I guess this is for those times when you dive in and the UBanana slips off of your head. It should be a lot easier to retrieve when it’s not at the bottom of the pool.

The Ubanana Ucan is available for pre-order for about $154. It comes with 1 GB worth of memory and a battery life of about 15 hours.

Uno

18-year-old Ben Gulak is the inventor of Uno. It took him several years but the result is stunning. Uno has 2 wheels positions next to each other making it look like a unicycle. It works like a Segway, tilt forward to go forward and back to slow down or stop. Ben says he was inspired when he had visited China and saw the pollution. Uno weighs 120 lbs, has a top speed of 25 mph and a range of about 2.5 hours. Ben is currently looking for investors to put the Uno into production.

Universal remote concept reminds us of the all-in-one gadget dream

What if you could control everything in your home with a little handheld gadget? That's what this universal remote by David Chacon got us thinking about, with its roomy screen — a nerve center right in your pocket.

Simply called the Universal Remote, the device would be flash capable so it could display anything from channel listings to more elaborate menus. With a touchscreen, the right frequencies and support from outside companies, the remote would allow you to change your television's volume to turning on the oven or dimming the lights — and companies could create custom graphic user interfaces for a product, too

Instead, much like a grandfather clock, it relies on a weight that's wound up every day to provide it with the energy to keep shining.

There's no word on pricing or availability for this unique object, unfortunately
