The Telikin Touchscreen PC is a new touchscreen PC designed for less tech savvy seniors. In other words, older people. It’s basically an Asus all-in-one PC repackaged with super easy to use, touch based software. Grandma should find this one easier to use. We hope.

Old people sometimes have trouble with things like viruses, firewalls, etc, so Telikin is designed to work out of the box with minimum setup. It comes with Video Chat, Photo Sharing, Email, Calendar, News, Weather, Address Book Web Browsing software and even games like solitaire, blackjack, memory, majong, and photo scramble. The U.I. organizes all of the features into an easy interface.

If you have a spare $40,000, these Mark Neumann Coliseum XLS speakers are what you want. Only 13 pairs will be produced. They reproduce audio using 360 degree disbursement capabilities inspired by the grand piano.

Made from wood, these speakers each measure 43.75-inches tall, 18-inches wide and 22-inches deep. They also feature a few 7-inch E7 reference drivers with high frequency tweeters on each channel and a bass system that features two 8-inch woofers with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz.

Where would we be without colorware? Our gadgets would be just a monochrome void. Now it is the Apple iPad 2′s turn to get the Colorware treatment. You can make it as beautiful or as ugly as you want. Just be prepared to pay a premium.

It will cost you $910 for the base 16GB WiFi configuration and you’ll need to wait about 4 weeks for it to arrive. Once it does, your device won’t look like everyone elses and your friends will all know that you are down about a grand.

Roku made a grand entrance onto the retail scene on Wednesday, by landing a deal with Best Buy. The stores will carry the Roku XD both in retail and online. This is the first time one of the company’s networked media hubs will be available at stores across the US without a rebranding.

To refresh your memory, the XD can play 1080p video, supports 802.11n Wi-Fi and has a remote with the instant replay button. It lacks the dual-band Wi-Fi, component video out and USB of the XDS, but both can do Amazon Video, Hulu Plus, Netflix, and live sports from the MLB and NHL.

Looks like the cash register is dead. Or soon will be. The iPad is already an essential business tool for some small business’ and a new cash register application should make it even easier for small businesses to take payments via their iPad. The application created by shopkeep.com has been put into service in the Joe coffee shop in Grand Central Terminal in New York. The new point-of-sale app will also print receipts and even makes the mandatory ka-ching when sales are rung up.

It will also transmit sales information to its web-based system so that managers using ShopKeep’s BackOffice software can track sales in real time, manage their inventory, run reports and export the data for use in other applications.

This isn’t your grandmother’s sewing machine. The Brother Entrepreneur Pro PR-1000 is the world’s first 10-needle embroidery machine with built-in camera-like technology, low-cost digital garment printer, and the first sewing machine with a built-in scanner.

Yeah, your grandmother might not even know what to do with this thing. When the machine was launched in Europe earlier this year the price was around £7999.00 (USD $12,500). This one is for the serious diy-er who has some serious money.

The Steampunk PC looks like it belongs in Doctor Who’s Tardis. Or on your great grandfather’s mantle. It looks like an old victorian clock on the outside but inside it is packing an Athlon 64 Dual Core 4400+ CPU, 160GB Hitachi SATA Hard Drive and 2GB of DDR2 / PC 800 RAM.

The finish on the case is a nice dark one and it even comes complete with a skeleton clock. The Timekeeper will cost you $1099 and ships from the land of the rising sun.

Amazon has an interesting patent registration for a gift conversion system. The idea is that you’ll end up with the gift that you really want, instead of getting socks or a sweater from your grandmother. The patent describes a system that allows gift recipients to set parameters for the things they want.

For instance “convert all gifts from Aunt Mildred,” or “no clothes with wool,” and “convert VHS to DVD,” etc. So if Aunt Boringpants buys you a VHS movie, you could easily convert it to a DVD.

If your Lazy-Boy isn’t lazy enough for you, how about an iPhone-controlled massage chair? Well, the Acutouch HT-9500 is now available for just $4,999. They’ve knocked a full grand off the MSRP. It comes with the HT-Connect app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

This means that you can wirelessly control the chair and get “instant access to a world of resources, massage programs and expertise designed to improve your wellness and life.” Sounds good to us.

Sony Insider has some new info on Sony’s Google TV sets. According to the site, four models will be introduced first: NSX-24GT1, NSX-32GT1, NSX-40GT1, and NSX-46GT1. In order of mention those are 24-, 32-, 40-, and 46-inch sets.

No price info on the smallest, but we assume it will be under a grand, since the others are reportedly priced at $1299.99, $1499.99, and $1899.99. It’s basically a TV with an Intel processor and the ability to fully surf the web (including flash sites).

RockStar games has announced that it will be launching a version of GTA for the Apple iPad, Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars HD. That should make some iPad users very happy. Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars HD will be available on the iPad on September the 9th for $9.99.

That seems a bit expensive, but then again it is a GTA game. At least Chinatown Wars HD comes to the iPad with brand new, updated high definition graphics.

Why is it that the Japanese make so many robots and give them the creepiest designs they can find? What happened to robots that looked like robots? I’d be more comfortable talking to Robby the Robot than the creepy ass Telenoid R1.

This robot is so creepy it makes Gene Simmons look like a nice guy. The idea is that the blob-like android would be teleoperated and is the size of a small child and is used by kids to transmit their presence to grandparents and others that are far away.

I would not think that someone who had $100k to drop on a suborbital space flight would quibble much about an extra few grand or even an extra hundred grand. The folks with the disposable income to take a joy ride into space probably don’t think twice about that kind of money.

A company called Xtraordinary Adventures has announced that it is pre-booking suborbital space flights on its reusable Lynx spacecraft for $95,000. The company points out that its price is $7000 less than Space Adventures and $100,000 less than Virgin Galactic’s price.

Jackpot Slots is both an iPhone app and a dock. Seems like it is perfect for the grandma in your life who gambles. That’s right, your iPhone can now become a tiny one armed bandit.

As is often the case with gambling, you will lose more than you make. The Jackpot Slots dock costs $40, so you are out that much right from the start. It includes the eponymous app which gives you access to several different slot games “of varying levels of difficulty.”

The folks at Lava International Ltd have come up with a couple of handsets called the Lava B2 and Lava B5 They look like a BlackBerry at first, but use Alpha keyboards instead of the familiar QWERTY.

The Alpha features a totally radical alphabet arrangement in fact, using alphabetical order. This would be good for those who use cellphones, but are not comfortable with QWERTY keypads.
