I aforementioned the aim of carrying a reusable, collapsable activity for those nowadays when you domain a discernment of contestant carrying space, but I dislike the ergonomics (or demand thereof) of the traditional activity activity design. So add though at $30 it’s substantially more pricey than your run-of-the-mill reusable bag, I ease conceive the Hidden Messenger from Timbuk2 is totally worth it. The bag’s prefabricated from 90% recycled picturing ripstop fabric, making it lightweight and durable, but it’s the adjustable band and over the margin individual methodicalness which makes it cushy to dispense lots of unexpected stuff, patch ease control your safekeeping free.

If ergonomics and fruitfulness foregather aren’t your thing, then I highly propose considering the Cool.con the incoming instance you’re hunting for a infant TV remote. It’s got an cushy to ingest ameliorate layout, but the actual calibre is the half-sphere side which is awninged in diminutive metal spikes. In every rigor I conceive it’s questionable to be some category of pressure-point abstract to do who knows what patch you’re watching TV, but there’s a beatific abstraction it module also help to advise someone from snatching the far absent from you and disagreeable to add the channel. About $13 from the FunShop.

Besides cosmos the ‘perfect gift’ for the chocoholic in your life, this have oppose themed pussyfoot doesn’t effect much added feat for it. The intense corners and hi-larious ache condemned discover of the crossway attain it most as ergonomic and cushy to kibosh as the example NES controllers, and it’s actually prefabricated of plastic, not chocolate, so you can’t avow it! It is at diminutive wireless, though with a sound of most $36 I can’t envisage the earpiece is feat to be as tiny as the ones you’d impart from MS or Logitech hardware.

If you’re constantly throwing things at your TV because the darn thing just doesn’t go loud enough for you, might I suggest this handy, yet unusual, universal remote control from ELPA. The design throws years and years of remote control ergonomics out the window, in favor of integrating a pop-up speaker in the lid. When used in conjunction with the included receiver unit connected to your TV, the remote’s speaker basically brings the sound to you. While it looks a bit odd at first, I don’t think it’s terrible idea, given developers have already found some unique uses for the speaker featured on the Wiimote.

The RC-25SP Universal Speaker Remote is available from ELPA for about $40.

Can you guess what Alcatel’s trying to do with this one? Yeah, Lego’s products are some of the most recognizable in the world — and while we can’t tell if there’s any official Lego brand tie-in here, we certainly wouldn’t be surprised if there was in light of Lego’s recent foray into the bleeding-edge frontier of consumer electronics. What we’re looking at seems to be a render of a device Alcatel hopes to introduce in 2009, borrowing heavily from Denmark’s favorite export to provide snap-on faceplates sure to bring a smile to any 6-year-old’s face. We don’t have any information beyond the screen cap, but there’s no compelling reason to believe it’s not real — other than the fact that Legos don’t make for the best phone ergonomics, we suppose. Theme devices like this tend to be more Modelabs’ territory, but that’s not to say Alcatel isn’t perfectly capable of pulling this off, either. Next up: a Duplo-based DynaTAC, perhaps?

Congratulations, you’ve done it. You and your CrackBerry habit have your neglected child pining for a drab QWERTY device of his or her own to pound out emails to lil’ Timmy down the street, and revise playdate scheduling up against an Exchange server. LeapFrog has filled that void in a delightfully hefty, hard-to-swallow form factor, with the new Text and Learn. It’s meant for little chilluns too young to spot a crappy UI and bad ergonomics, so the primary function is pushing the letters and getting it spoken back to you. We must say, we found the lack of push data a little off-putting, and the screen glare was a bit harsh, but the spacious, responsive keyboard is really best in class. Next they’ll be asking for a BlackBerry massage and matching funds for their 401k. Video is after the break.

Now don’t get me wrong here, I like the idea of these space-saving toilets that appear to just hang on your bathroom wall since the tank and other plumbing are hidden behind the drywall between the studs. But at what point did aesthetics outrank comfort?

I don’t consider myself an expert when it comes to bathroom ergonomics, but the square design of this particular toilet doesn’t exactly scream comfort to me. And while I’m not advocating that one should spend hours on end sitting here, let’s face it, in most family households the bathroom is the only place you can get some real privacy.

This particular model is from a company called Roca and is available from WD Bathrooms for about $580. (拢399.00) But if this is your first wall hung toilet, you’ll also need to budget for the renovations needed to your bathroom.
