The Mutewatch does have a screen, but the hidden screen only activate with you swipe to scroll between the timer, clock, and alarm. Rather inconvenient somehow. But it also features a silent alarm in the form of a vibrating wristband. Priced at 199 Euros or around $260, the Mutewatch is currently available in white, gray or red.

Designer Shyam Balasubramanian has developed a multifunctional computer that allows great flexibility to enhance the experience of the user. Known as the Chip Tablet PC, this multi-use computer is designed to be used as a desktop, a laptop and tablet computer, though I can’t see how that is possible. The aim is to provide an optimum user experience by giving flexibility and compact design that will suite the user’s purpose and needs. The Chip Tablet PC concept has a removable screen that separates from PC to become a tablet for personal use. The keyboard layout is designed identically to those like a notebook, with a touchpad and no numerical pad. The display seemed to be too thick to even be called portable. The display seemed to be identical to a desktop’s design, but I doubt that with such size, you can’t actually fit ‘desktop-spec’ hardware into it. It doesn’t seem practical by my standard.

The new Casio LW-S200HT Tough Solar watch is specially designed for sporty women, who like to stay fit and healthy through jogging. As part of the Casio Collection Series, the fitness watch comes with a display illumination that ensures that the face can be easily read at the press of a button, even as darkness falls. Sounds rather typical actually. Anyway, the watch also features five alarm slots, a snooze function for your alarm, and world time for 48 cities. The integrated database function Lap Memory ensures the logged stop and lap times, and intervening periods can be stored together with the date, enabling comparison at a later stage, and perhaps for you to create a chart of your exercise routine, which I really love. The memory features enough space for 120 data sets (about 3 months record), ensuring that you always keep your running performance in sight. The Casio LW-S200HT Tough Solar watch retails for 5,700 Yen ($66) in Japan.

Saudi Arabia will test what it is billing as the world’s largest clock in the holy city of Mecca during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan which started few days ago. The four-faced clock pylon will top a colossal skyscraper that when completed will be around 1,970 feet (600 meters) tall, trailing only behind the tallest in the world, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (formerly known as Burj Dubai) which sits at 2,717 feet (828 meters).

This new 3.5-inch drive has a USB 2.0 interface and can be installed horizontally or vertically.

In a world where everyone’s starting to pick up digital reading frenzy, Asus will join in the fun for the ‘lulz’ with their new 8-inch e-Book Reader. Asustek Computer will release a new e-book reader with an 8-inch 64-grayscale TFT-LCD screen without backlight in October 2010 (ouch, you’ll need a torchlight when it’s dark). The LCD panel of Asustek’s e-book reader is provided by Chimei Innolux (CMI), which makes it with a special process to improve reflection, but is still no match for e-paper in terms of contrast ratio and reflective performance. The display also supports a fast response time. The Asus 8-inch e-Reader will retail at below $599. Asustek is also facing a difficult fight as it currently has no content support for its e-book reader and the price is much higher than the US$100-200 for current mainstream e-book readers. Sadly that’s the only spec given, so stay tuned for more.
