The Bond Gadgets

A lot of gadgets can multitask in the silicon age. But there are still others that do the same and yet are different. You could even say they suffer from a pyschological problem for they live dual lives. They function like what they were manufactured for. And then they boast an additional skill that none from their families have. For an end consumer, these gadgets eliminate the need of the second device. Their ability to change from one device to another makes them our Bond Gadgets.

CAPTURE AND PROJECT
Nikon's S1200pj is a point-and-shoot digital camera equipped with a 14.1 MP sensor and 5x optical zoom. What sets it apart, however, is its built-in Pico projector with 20 lumens brightness and a contrast ration of 200:1. Similarly, Sony has come up with a camcorder with a built-in projector. The PJ50E has a CMOS sensor with 220 GB hard disk drive with projection of up to 60 inch diagonally. But unlike the Nikon camera, this camcorder is fairly costly.
Prices:
Sony PJ50E: Rs 59,990
Nikon S1200pj: Rs 14,950

PHILIPS COOLING PAD
Cooling pads can be clunky platforms that protect your knees from the heat generated by laptops. In addition to this, the Philips Notebook cushion speaker pumps up the volume of the notebook (of course, it uses up a USB connection too). The Notebook sleeve, on the other hand, protects against heat and doubles up as a useful protective cover for carrying the machine.

It can also be connected to an MP3 player or CD player via the auxiliary port.
