Juicebar: A Super-Thin Disposable Cellphone Charger
The British company behind the Juicebar are billing it as "the world's slimmest emergency phone charger." The device looks about as big as a cardboard coaster, but apparently it is capable of powering up a phone for up to 480 minutes of standby, or around 60 minutes of talk time depending on the device. Full charge is reached in about an hour, but you are free to talk anytime during that period. More »

Disposable Microscope Card Lets You Check your Sperm Count on the Go
Huzzah for slightly weird gadgets such as this disposable microscope card that, depending on the light source, magnifies things by 500 or 1,000. So what kind of things does it suggest you blow up on the go?

Single-Use Video Camera Concept Takes the Pain Out of Converting Video
Here's another video camera concept from the folks at Yanko Design. The Glide, which is the brainchild of Greg Schramek, is a USB drive with a lens and controls for shooting video. Once you've finished shooting your digital masterpiece, you trade the drive in at a grocery store kiosk where it's converted into a DVD for you. No word on how much memory each device will have, and you'll be using a tiny LCD to frame your subjects, but I'd rather keep one of these in my gadget bag than an actual camcorder that can be lost or damaged. Plus, it looks a lot nicer than the CVS option. More »

Disposable Video Cam Concept is Slimmer, Easier to Use Than the Real Thing
Tired of shooting with CVS' fugly disposable video camera? Then check this one out. It's a prototype for a new breed of disposable vid camera, one that would save you money by letting you keep the camera once you're done shooting. All you need to replace is the DVD. This would be a great option for newbies who just shoot video once in a blue moon. Design-wise, it's also nicer than some real video cams. This is one concept I'd like to see become a reality. More »

Dissolvable Dress: Let It Rain
When scientists aren't working on curing world hunger/cancer/AIDS, they create dresses that will dissolve in water. The "fabric" is made from polyvinyl alcohol, which will partially dissolve into recyclable (liquid?) material when washed.During a forthcoming exhibition, up to eight dresses made from these textiles - minus their wearers - will be lowered into enormous goldfish bowls where they will be left to liquefy.Minus their wearers? I think we're missing the point here.

Disposable Camera Made Permanent: Priceless
Who says that camera is disposable? If you're looking for a digital camera to document those Fourth of July festivities but don't have the bucks for, say, a digital SLR, spend $10 on a disposable camera and then use the instructions from Elephant Staircase to modify it into one that you can use over and over.

More Fuel Cell Info for Portable Stuff
Last week we told you how Panasonic was working on a smaller, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell system to power portable electronics, but there's more going on out there in this category than we thought. Take the fuel cells from Medis Technology, which use borohydride alkaline solutions instead of the Methanol. For under $20, these disposable products promise 30 hours of talk time on mobile phones or about 60 hours of music playback on an MP3 player, though it doesn't look like they can be refueled (at least for consumers—the military may get a refuelable power pack from the company). But don't go out scouring stores just yet, these nifty products won't be for sale until the end of this year. More »
