It's been awhile since we last saw the xpPhone, a quick, quiet demonstration at Computex that left us doubting whether the thing would ever see the light of day outside a packed showroom floor. It seems our doubts are about to be put to rest as ITG, creator of the thing, has thrown up a pre-order page on the phone's website. There's no mention of a price, and indeed you won't be asked to plunk down any cash right now (it's not much of a pre-order), but what's interesting is that it asks you to choose between 3G modules for Vodafone, Orange, or AT&T. That means ITG seemingly has aspirations of a global release for this thing, and while we're not sure how many people are going to want to lug around a MID-sized monster celly with a "super big" 4.8-inch LCD and a weight of nearly a pound, surely some nation in the world has pockets big enough for this.

Guess there's no one who haven't used a ruler which have pointings running along the edge of the ruler, but have any one saw a ruler thats digital. Yeah you have heard it correctly, designer Shay Shafranek recently came up with this new concept that adds a bit of newfangled technology to and old fashioned wooden ruler. The secret, it seems, is a line of tiny metal points running along the edge of the ruler, which can detect when you touch 'em with a pencil and display the exact measurement on the LED display discreetly hidden inside. Better yet, the ruler can apparently store measurements and add 'em up as you go along, eliminating the need for any pesky remembering or math. Of course, it is still just a concept, and there's no indication that Shafranek has any commercial plans for it just yet

No idea which man would want to hide the fact that he carries a shaver, but if you’re one who places space in your luggage as a premium, then the USB Card Shaver would fit into your agenda very nicely. This device has a diameter of just 1cm, and is perfect for business and travel. A full charge will last for up to 12 hours of shaving, which ought to be more than enough to go through a week’s worth of stubble with juice to spare. In case you don’t want to charge it via a notebook, there is always a USB-to-AC adapter to keep it charged. The USB Card Shaver will retail for approximately $32 each, and it would be nice to see future improvements include integrated memory (with waterproof specifications, of course).

Get ready to do wonders with colour. Here is a digital brush with a natural palette! Yes with this you can pick the colour of your hair to make your digital paintings realistic. Or even the pattern of your tie to turn the background very artistic. But how?

I/O brush is the wonder boy. You can use the brush to pick up textures, colours and patterns from anything and then paint it onto a digital canvas. So how does it work?

The inside of brush has a camera, lights, touch sensitive optic strands. When the brush comes in contact with a surface, the optic strands sense it and lights up the bulb. Once the frame is clear the camera takes a snapshot and stores it in an internal memory. And you can retrieve it onto the digital canvas whenever you are ready to paint. The I/O brush is now in its conceptual phase. Surely the artists of tomorrow can make real use of it.
