Albatron Rocker Mini Tablet Has Windows CE and Not Much Heft

AddyDugdale — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 07:30:00 EDT

An ultra slimline tablet from Albatron has been unveiled at Computex. The Rocker has a seven-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, 128MB flash memory, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, a webcam, and SD and MMC slots. Weighing just 343 grams, the battery runs for six hours on a single charge, and it runs Windows CE. Not too shabby, really. [Aving via JKK Mobile]

Rocker Kart Lets You Rock All the Way to the Shops

Haroon Malik — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:15:00 EST

The Rocker Kart is a bicycle alternative, retailing at £149.99 ($309), the three-wheeled kart lacks any form of visible steering, but that is where the Rocker gets interesting. Apparently, by leaning left or right a patented control mechanism comes into play, altering your course to follow the direction of your weight shift.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster to us, but as we all know such disaster can be equivalent to great fun, and so we want to try this baby out. The build of the device seems to be impressively well done, from the galvanized metal frame to the shapely front wheel, intended for better cornering and, of course, the bad ass flame design adorning the seat and frame. I see a Gizmodo Rocker Kart tournament on the horizon...I see Malik winning a Gizmodo Rocker Kart tournament trophy. I see dead people. [Product Page via Random Good Stuff]

Lullabub Automatic Cot Rocker

Travis Hudson — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 12:59:08 EDT

Useful baby gadgets are pretty rare around these parts, but the Lullabub Cot Rocker is easily the best baby gadget on the market. This gadget consists of four modules that are placed underneath the legs of a cot or crib. It will then gently rock the crib automatically in a choice of four rhythms to help the baby go to sleep. It even includes a night light, automatic timer and a remote control.

The Lullabub can simulate the motion of a mother's womb, mother's heartbeat, drive in a car or boat on water. It is currently sold out, but another wave is set for an august release. Pick it up for $230 and get some sleep. – Travis Hudson
