Dixau Can Copy Text From Your Book And Paste It Onto Your Computer
I’ve always wanted a gadget like Dixau. It can easily copy any text from your hard copy material, like papers, books or magazines, and shift it directly to any laptop. This feature enables people transferring full pages into their computers or just copy a word / line and translate them with online dictionaries. To do so, just drag it down the paper, mark the desirable section and copy with the built in camera. The text will be displaced onto your screen and will be available to use digitally. Available in Korea for $90, the Dixau can be very useful, specially for students, bloggers and journalists. Having said that, we have no details concerning language support, so you might get stuck with Korean content.

Ikea Mobile Kiosk Uploads Deals And Barcodes To Your Cellphone
I was always intrigued by the idea of receiving daily/weekly deals directly to my mobile when i go shopping. This Ikea Mobile Kiosk was discovered in one of the stores in Seattle, allowing you to sync your mobile phone through text messages or by scanning barcodes. The synced info includes coupons and other breaking news on weekly sales and special discount offers. I don’t think this technology can replace Ikea’s catalog, but it is an adequate way to update consumers.
