Both men and women look forward to check out the latest gadgets available in market. I intent to introduce some of the best tech gadgets you can ever lay your hands upon and these are said to be “the coolest gadgets of 2009”.

Video Phone for Deaf

It's nice to see a well-designed device that also addresses problems that many of us

will never have to deal with, like being deaf. This wireless touchscreen videophone from Viable is a fully functioning videophone that also happens to have been designed by a deaf person. In fact, Viable is a deaf-

owned company whose tablet-sized VPAD+ gives instant access to ViableVRS, a video-based telephone interpreting service that allows the user to use sign language with a skilled intermediary who then relays the phone conversation. The VPAD+ uses flashing LED lights for alerts and has Bluetooth connectivity as well as dual USB ports and A/V in/outs.

Exergaming

With the incredible success of the Wii Fit, we expected to see some more forays into exercise gaming(Exergaming) at this year. One of the first products

to catch our eye was the jOG from New Concept Gaming. This motion sensing controller, which consists of a pedometer that clips onto your belt and also plugs right into your Wiimote, lets you control gameplay onscreen by jogging, all while counting the steps you take. Once connected, no matter what game it is that you’re playing, you’ll need to be moving your legs as if you were running or jogging. If you stop, then your character within the game (for example, if you were playing Shrek) stops moving… thus you die - that’s no fun! It may not sound very fun, but for those who really need the exercise will bound to shred loads of jOG also has a pedometer attached so it counts how many steps you’ve done, I’m pretty sure you’d be amazed how many steps will have been taken in order to play a few minutes of Wii.
