Touch Screen RC Star Trek Enterprise Boldly Goes Where No RC Vehicle Has Gone Before
Interstellar space flight may have been poo-poo'd on by astrophysicists this week, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little pseudo space-faring fun with this first-of-its-kind RC Star Trek Enterprise. Due to arrive in May 2009, the $80 foam flyer is controlled via a vintage Star Trek touchscreen communicator (Captain James T. Kirk womanizing is not necessary, but recommended). More » -

"Real" Star Trek Tricorder Invented
If you ever watched an episode of Star Trek and wondered when we were going to finally get our hands on some cool medical gadgets like the tricorder, you will be happy to know that a primitive version already exists. Researchers knew that current medical scanners were too bulky and expensive to reach their full potential. So, in order to remedy the situation, they developed a simple portable scanner that can be plugged into a standard cellphone. The phones would send the raw data to remote processors, which would interpret that data and relay it as a image that is viewable on the cellphone screen. More » -

Star Trek Medical Tricorder Goes Beep, Won't Diagnose Alien Disease
This replica medical tricorder from Star Trek TOS is hugely detailed and looks pretty much like the "real" thing. It even comes with the removable scanner thingy. Plus it's got light and sound effects built-in, so you won't have to hold it over alien flu victims and whisper "widdlyweep... widdlyweep..." Mind you, I'm pretty sure that's what Bones used to do anyway— he never seemed to know exactly what was wrong with people, did he? With one of these and a bit of carpentry to construct one of those beds with the heart-monitor thing that went "thum... thum...," you could reenact the Enterprise medical scene of your choosing. Available soon for $39.95. [Geekalerts] -
