Tesla Roadster goes commercial enters production

Breaking free from the prototype stage, the Tesla Roadster gears up for commercial production. Tesla Motors’ all-electric sports car hasn’t hit the mass production slot however, the company will be rolling out about one or two cars a week right now, but it will steadily increase production. By early next year, it hopes to be producing around 100 cars a month. The A-listers who have already reserved (900 reservations so far) the car include Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman, and Arnold Schwarzeneggar. The spec sheet reads a two-seater car that will go zero to 60 miles per hour in just under four seconds.

The $98,000 Roadster was to come out in 2007 however technical problems with the transmission, among other components, caused delays. To overcome some of the technical hurdles, Tesla has created its own single-speed transmission. The first cars coming off the line will have the older transmission, which means these cars won’t hit the 0 to 60 in 4 seconds mark. Anyone who gets the older transmission can come back to Tesla and get the new transmission for free. A truly global car, the lithium-ion battery cells come from Japan and are packaged into an ornate battery in the U.S. The body and chassis come from Europe. Final assembly takes place in Silicon Valley.

Sound Bubbler an iPod dock with a Lava Lamp hang up

What good is a contraption that plays bubbles to the beats of your music and reminds you of a Lava Lamp? No good, but then again if I need a lava lamp why would I pick up one that brings out bubbles! The Sound Bubbler from Spi glows red, yellow or blue, setting the mood of the room. The output of bubbles is to the beats and rhythms of the music. I won’t blame you, if this kinda sounds like a farting machine, but on the other hand the device hooks up with a CD player or MP3 players via a a 3.5mm audio output. As the title suggests, it’s also an iPod dock.

LG VX9700- unconfirmed specs and pics

What I really like about upcoming, unannounced products is the gossip session that preludes the official announcement. Take for example the FCC approved LG VX9700, there is no official word on it but speculations on it have already started. Apparently the phone will be on Verizon Wireless, it will feature 3.2-megapixel camera, using a Schneider Kreuznach lens. Speculations also suggest that the phone memory can be expanded with microSDHC cards and sync can be conducted through a micro-USB port. It also seems to support T9 entry, multi-tap, or an on-screen QWERTY keyboard for keying text. An anonymous source has been kind enough to supply a photo and as can be seen, it looks pretty similar to the Prada phone, with a touchscreen being the highlight instead of a dedicated keyboard or numberpad. The VX9700 is alleged to be shipping by the end of March, but could be delayed as far as April or May.
