JOHN DOE Amsterdam “John’s Phone”


Devoid of any awe-inspiring features as well as the most common alternative means of communication – SMS – John’s Phone lives up to its concept and title of being the most basic cellular phone in the world. The aesthetic itself provides a strong projection of simplicity and practicality as it comes equipped with large buttons, a flap for customized address book, an opening with a small ink pen, and a small screen that displays inbound and outbound calls. The built-in quad-band fuels the phone’s functionality as it can make and receive calls anywhere in the world. Created by Amsterdam-based full service advertising agency JOHN DOE, the phone is now available for purchase through colette, priced at $100 USD.

BioLite




Is it a portable stove or a gadget charger? How about both. The BioLite ($130) is a compact, portable stove that burns sticks, twigs, pine cones, and other renewable resources instead of petroleum gas, lighting quickly and bringing water to a boil in no time. In addition, it packs a USB port on the front that draws its power from the heat of the fire, letting you charge your phone, GPS, or LED lights miles from the nearest outlet.

New Nikon D800


While it might not be what everyone was hoping for, the Nikon D800 ($3,000) is sure to make a lot of shooters out there very, very happy. Designed with resolution heads in mind, the D800 features a whopping 36.3-megapixel full-frame sensor that will likely cause sleepless nights for some medium format cameras, the 91,000-pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering III sensor, an improved 51-point AF system, full 1080p video capture with professional features like uncompressed HDMI output, full manual control, and a dedicated headphone jack for accurate monitoring of audio levels, a 3.2-inch LCD monitor, 4 fps shooting — 6 fps with the optional battery pack — SD and CF card slots, and the Expeed 3 image processing engine. Arriving in late March, but you'd best get your pre-orders in now.

iPhone 4/4S GunnerCase



Ask any competitive shooter, and they'll tell you about the benefits of the recoil pad, which saves their chests from bruising. Now you can add the same sort of protection to your iPhone 4/4S with the GunnerCase ($TBA). Made from lint-repelling TPU, the case features internal Air Cell pockets that collapse to absorb impacts, providing the same protection as a case twice as thick. Included with the case are a screen protector, micro cleaning cloth, and lifetime warranty that provides coverage against anything.

Rolex Milgauss Watch



If you ever got a hand-me-down Rolex from someone who worked in a power plant or secret government research facility, you might have gotten your hands on an early Rolex Milgauss Watch ($7,500). Introduced in 1956 for the scientific community, the Milgauss is capable of withstanding magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss — or more than you'd ever wish to be exposed to. Corrosion-resistant 940L steel does the trick with the case, as does an amazing green sapphire cover.

Apple iPad 3 Event San Francisco



While it’s not 100 percent confirmed, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco is where many people speculate that the Apple iPad 3 will finally be unveiled.

From the image we can deduce that the display seems to be much higher-res and the outer casing looks darker than current models. Stay tuned for more info. Source: The Verge
