We have seen various type of products made available or still in concept stage, about how you can trace and track your belonging and never lose them. There is a concept version for children, to look after a children so you won’t lose them in crowded area called Link Child Locator. There is also something like Insignia Little buddy child tracker that you can purchase one now.

However, if you dislike those solution, you can rest assure now as there is new solution called BiKN that will make everything easier. The only requirement is that you have to own an iPhone, the App and the tracker device that looks a lot like a mini flash drive and you are good to go.

BiKN for iPhone tracking system can let user figure out where the position of their “stuff” easily. For example, you can use it on your suitcase. You don’t have to search for your bag here and there again if you have properly tagged your suitcase with BiKN system. All you have to do is to fire up your iPhone, launch the app, and you can figure out where it is.

Even better, you can use it on your kids, or pets. So no matter how far they stray from their place, you can find them back in no time. According to the official site, BiKN tracking system is capable of tracking up to 8 tags at once, but the downside is that the tag has a battery that you must keep them in fit condition. It would be dangerous when the battery is out and your kid is not somewhere near you.

Do you watch the G-Force – hamsters secret agents? If you have ever watched it, then you’ll know a small fly character that looks so high tech, yet very small and almost invisible to the enemy. Well, we were looking at the “impossible” stuff that most likely will never exist since the ordinary fly is not smart enough to obey to some one. However, the current military gadget development has really developed something like this, electronically.

According to the report, researchers has created a super tiny spying tool known as the dragonfly aircraft, which is about 1/5 of your index finger size, and a wide wings that is so identical to a dragonfly’s wings.

This unmanned dragonfly aircraft was created at the Micro-Aviary at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for military spying purpose. Even it’s small, it’s been equipped with super-sensitive motion capture sensor, super tiny motor and two insect-like wings. You can watch the following video for the introduction:

Sadly, no more details offered for this dragonfly aircraft. It would be interesting to see how it work and how far it could fly. Could it possibly to fly to enemy’s camp, collect data, and fly back to the HQ to reporting in is still a big question mark.

Menas Zoom, which is the world’s first magnifying glass with zoom function created by German company is a special tool that has double-lens system to let user zoom from 2.2 to 3.4x. Of course, you really can’t compare this magnifying glass with the digital magnifier that can do about 20x zooming.

But what’s great on this magnifying glass is that it requires no battery for the operation. The image will stay sharp when zoom, and stay bright right to the edge of the glass. Sadly, you’ll have to pay approximately $135 USD (It’s £86.95 GBP) to own one of this new “world’s first” gadget.

Quality product “Made in Germany”. By Eschenbach.
Slightly rotate the lens ring on this magnifying glass – and your newspaper print, instruction leaflet, small print in contracts etc. is magnified by 2.2 to 3.4x. The images will stay sharp and bright right to the edge of the glass. The secret lies in the ingenious double-lens system: For the very first time the benefits of aspherical handheld magnifying glasses are combined with the light accumulating effect of a reading stone.

The reading area is 30% brighter than with conventional reading magnifiers. Without electricity or batteries.
The curvature of the upper meniscus lens does the trick. The aspherical lens underneath creates the crystal-clear, distortion-free image and the high zoom factor

If you don’t mind paying a lot for a magnifying glass, you can head on over to Pro-Idee Concept store to get one.

Fans of Pico or micro size projector? AAXA has just unveiled their M1 Ultimate Micro projector that support the native 800 x 600 resolution with a better brightness level at 75 Lumens. I guess this might be a better choice for you where you don’t really have to watch your content on a complete dark room anymore.

Well, the common Pico projectors are coming with 15 or 30 lumens at most. With 75 lumens (double of the brightness) it should be pretty good to view in a dim lighting room.

Apart from the better brightness, AAXA has also packed the M1 Ultimate Micro projector with 1GB of internal memory, and an SD card slot to expand the size. Which means you can watch movie or read document without hooking up with your PC or media player.

AAXA M1 Ultimate Micro projector is not a portable stuff when it come to the power option. This pico projector has a no internal battery to self-powered, but you can get an external battery that will let you works continuously for 1.5 hour.

AAXA M1 Ultimate Micro projector has a nice interface in form of a touchpad control and digital keystone at the top side, which let you navigate through the menu easily. And the best of all, beside it’s palm-size, AAXA M1 Ultimate Micro projector is enclosed in an elegant aluminum housing. Beside giving it a better look, it also helps (at least) throwing out heat produced by the projector.

As for the connection, AAXA M1 ultimate micro projecto has both VGA and AV connectors. It means it’s DVD players friendly and you can hook your console to this M1 Ultimate Micro projector as well!

If you are interested, this AAXA M1 Ultimate Micro projector is now available for $299.
