The eviGroup Paddle Tablet’s Scale UI Leaves Me Queasy

With more tablets being announced each day, there’s a lot of pressure on market entrants to stand out. A custom user interface is a great way to do that! The eviGroup Paddle‘s stop-the-ride-I-wanna-get-off Scale UI, less so. See for yourself: The Paddle actually looks like a decent little tablet: 10.1-inch multitouch screen, 1.6GHz Atom N270…

Withings Wi-Fi Scale Review (A Scale For the Year 2010)

The Withings Wi-Fi would have been alien technology in the 1950s. “What do you mean, this scale posts your weight on the ‘internet’, and then graphs it on your ‘iPhone'”? And yet, folks, this is our world today. The Price: $160 The Verdict: Expensive, but worth it. How do we justify a $160 scale when…

CNet Scoring System Analyzed; 70% of all gadgets between 6.0 and 7.9

I’ve always teased friends at CNet about their rating system, which appears to always rate products between 7 and 8, meaning everything is more or less “very good” in score. Ecoustics has done the job of analyzing 1,325 reviews from 2007 (all of them?) and figured out the exact math: 96% of all ratings from…

Paper e-Ink Scale Design Looks Great on Paper, Might Not Be Practical

This e-paper bathroom scale idea from Duck Image Studio seems like a fantastic idea at first. It’s e-ink, so it’s thin, which means you can embed it into bath mats or floor tiles or maybe even into your shower. Imagine being able to see how much you weigh every time you bathed, or brushed your…

Although weighing your food is only really important if you’re a chubster watching your weight, this wall-mounted digital scale clock can do so much more than tell you how heavy your bananas are.
