  • Fujitsu’s Smart Dog Collar Lets You Obsess Over Your Pet’s Health

    Are you the sort of “pet parent” who worries about every sneeze, shiver, and cough that comes out of your furry companion’s tiny little body? If so, Fujitsu’s latest technological contraption may help soothe your endlessly jangled nerves. Or, alternatively, it might cause you to obsess over the smallest details of your dog’s lifestyle to the point that it controls your life. Either way, you’ll have all sorts of information at your fingertips.

    The collar, which uses cloud-based technology to help you keep track of all that important doggy data, will give you access to a wide variety of information. Want to know how many steps your dog has taken today? It’s right there. How many times did the poor little thing shiver last night during that unusually fierce thunderstorm? You can track that, as well. The collar, which can be worn 24 hours a day, collects and stores all of his helpful data, which you can then upload to your Android phone or computer. What does all of this information mean, precisely? Well, you can keep an eye on any changes in your dog’s overall well-being, allowing you to catch problems before they become serious issues.

    The only thing missing from the device is a GPS tracking system, though Fujitsu’s collar can be supplemented with other gadgets that are currently on the market to correct this particular oversight. Before you know it, you’ll have a pet that’s part machine and part animal, with nearly every aspect of their lives documented, processed, and uploaded for your own personal satisfaction. So the next time your doggy gets a cough, strap on the Fujitsu dog collar and track just how severe these conditions might be.

    Going to be in the Tokyo area on Thursday and Friday? According to the folks at Ubergizmo, the aforementioned collar will be on-display this Thursday and Friday for you to check out.

  • Take A Swim With This Waterproof Tablet

    Take A Swim With This Waterproof Tablet

    How many times have you had the urge to take your tablet device with you in the shower? Or maybe take it for a swim? I’d sure like to catch up on Breaking Bad while hanging out in the hut tub.

    The reason I ask this is because the Fujitsu “Arrows” F-01D tablet has been spotted in the wild, and it looks like it likes to be submerged in water. The existence of said tablet was confirmed back in late August, and the speculation was to whether “waterproof” meant it could survive a splash or be used in the bath.

    Now, thanks to ndevil.com, we see that it can take a pretty good soaking. This video shows the tablet loading up a web page while being pretty much immersed in water. As you’ll see, the tablet sports micro-USB and micro-HDMI ports, that can be sealed up nicely with little waterproof covers:

    And here are some specs, courtesy of Android Community –

    Obviously from the name you’ll know that this tablet will be rocking 4G LTE. The specs include a 10.1″ 1280 x 800 HD display, Android 3.2 Honeycomb, a 1.0 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor is on board, not the TI OMAP 4430 as original leaks suggested. We have 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage with 32GB being optional.

    As you might have heard during the video, this tablet is currently only available in Japan.

    Here, in another video from the same demo, you see in the background (around the 1:30 mark) that the tablet can be submerged for a pretty long period of time. Unfortunately, you wont be able to take much else from it unless you speak German.

    Considering that it is truly as water resistant as it looks, this could be pretty successful if and when it’s launched overseas. What do you think? Can you see a use for this kind of device? Let us know in the comments.
