This is the latest gaming gadget announced at the CES in Las Vegas. It brings the PC gaming experience at your finger tips like never before.

The Switchblade would be Intel Atom-based, having a touch screen and a dynamic tactile keyboard that adjusts its layout and configurations on the fly based on the game being played. Razer’s CEO, Min-Liang Tan, believes that mice and keyboard development have led to a natural evolution to a full portable gaming system. “Razer isn’t just about bringing innovation to the PC, but creating products that will change the future of gaming. The Razer Switchblade is one such product.”

Will this remain a concept device or actually come into production is still an unanswered question which will become clear in future.

Here is a video showcasing the device:

Citigroup is soon going to launch the trial of a credit card which would enable you to pay using your regular card account or the accumulated reward points. The user needs select the button on the credit card and select what method they want to choose for payment. Selecting the appropriate button would electronically re-write the card’s magnetic strip and the chosen account would be debited by the card swipe machine.

The Dynamic group is developing prototypes of these cards and claim that it would be as thin as the normal card and also have security features such as coded keypads. When not in use the card’s number display and magnetic strip would be locked. More details about various mechanisms and features would be released later. Now, I would love to have such smart credit cards in my wallet soon and I am sure you would too.

In the over crowded world of digital compacts the competition has now reached at a level where your camera must be innovative and completely different from what others have to offer. And that is where the new Casio Tryx beats or at least tries to beat its rivals. This camera can actually stand-up and the stand acts as a tri-pod for the camera. The Casio Tryx costs $250 and its super thin frame rotates a full 360-degrees, transforming it into a tripod, hanger, or handle. It sports a 3-inch LCD touch screen capable of rotation upto 270-degrees which makes it easy for the photographer to grab shots from almost any angle keeping stationary himself. You can use this camera across the wall to spy on someone with the features it has on offer 🙂 . It has an ultra-wide 21mm lens, hence is capable of capturing a large amount of landscape in a single pic. It capable of 1080p video and has a 12.1-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor. Now that’s an innovative and a different camera I have seen after a long time.
