The new Yamaha YSP-3050 certainly isn’t the first sound bar speaker system we’ve previewed, but its features show it may be one of the coolest. It will cost you though at around $1,400.

The Yamaha YSP-3050 is described by its maker as a digital sound projector and it is designed to work in conjunction with a HDTV. It can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf for this purpose. General features include 1080p HDMI support, multi-channel surround sound and video up-conversion.

This Yamaha-branded Deus Ex Machina concept motorcycle was dreamed up by Jake Loniak, an Art Center Pasadena student. It obviously looks awesome. Like a robot and a vehicle all in one. Since it’s a concept, Jake went a little crazy with the specs. It will be powered by ultra-capacitors and doped nano-phoshpate batteries (like those in hybrid cars). 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators are set along a spine consisting of seven vertebrae, and that’s what keeps it in control.

Another cool touch is that the helmet is pneumatically attached for ease-of-use. Jake claims that his design can reach a top speed of 75mph, I’m just not sure how well protected a human would be in this thing. I do know that I want to see it in action NOW.

Here’s a first. This is a notepad with an integrated keyboard. This is perfect for musicians and composers. It allows them to try out their tunes right then and there, with or without using the built-in headphone jack. No word yet on availability. I suppose if you don’t have headphones with you, you could really annoy people with this one, in say, a subway car or something. Then after you annoy your fellow man and call attention to your sweet new device, he can steal it and sell it to some other dude. I hope not. I’m, just saying.

Basically somebody at Yamaha had a notepad sitting next to their keyboard and went…”Whoah”. No word on availability yet.

Yamaha has a new concept digital musical instrument known as “Tenori-On”. The device’s LED buttons are used to play phrases and tempos, making it pretty unusual and unlike any other musical instrument. Both rear and front sides feature 256 LEDs.

The LEDs on the front side can be pressed by the user to play music and compose songs, while the rear side LEDs show the same pattern in order to provide viewers with a visual presentation to complement the audio part. You can save the songs you created on the Tenori-On by recording them to an SD memory card. This concept digital music instrument will retail for $1,158 later this May.

Some things are meant to be. Peanut Butter and Jelly, Ben and Jerry, Brad and Angelina. And now apparently, biking while surfing the web. I’m talking about the Bobby prototype electric bike from Yamaha motors. Pedestrians will never know what hit them, while you read your favorite blog. Aside from distracting you with the wonders of the web, the bike can be easily turned on and off using specific cell phones.

Some other features you can use when you are no longer impressed with having the web on 2 wheels are: a collapsible seat, fold-in rear wheel, handlebars and footrests making the bike a breeze to store.
