Top Five Best Gadgets You can Buy at Walmart - http://clapway.com/2016/01/15/top-five-best-gadgets-you-can-buy-at-walmart/

When it comes to purchasing technology, Walmart does not exactly come to mind right away. However, there are a few gadgets there that might make you consider going, and here are five.

GADGET 1: THE GATEWAY LAPTOP

Walmart offers a very exclusive laptop, and it is called the Gateway LT3120u. This laptop comes with 160 GB of hard drive space, as well as a dual-core AMD processor. It also has a respectable screen size of 11.6 inches, with backlit LED lights. The price of this Gateway is also not over the top as it comes in at $348.

GADGET 2: THE LEXMARK GENESIS ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER

The Lexmark Genesis S815 all-in-one printer is quite the machine. It has a very futuristic-looking design, as well as being very functional. There is a 10-megapixel digital camera that is embedded inside the printer. Not only that but a document can also be scanned in the lightning fast time of about three seconds.

GADGET 3: THE TOMTOM XL335SE

You are probably asking yourself what on earth this product is from Walmart. This TomTom is a smartphone that offers a 4.3-inch screen, as well as having many GPS capabilities. This is a brand new model, and it is only $69.

GADGET 4: THE VIRGIN MOBILE BROADBAND2GO

Now it is time to look at a device that will create a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go MiFi 2200 will create a 3G-powered hotspot, and up to five devices can be connected to it at one time. Although further payment is required, the starting price of this device is $129.

GADGET 5: THE WINTEC 8 GB FLASH DRIVE

One of the most important tasks to complete when using a computer is to back up all of your important data. This can be done with a flash drive, and Walmart offers a very good one. The Wintec 8 GB flash drive will suit anybody well, as long as you remember to eject it before removing it!

Turkish Boy Makes Shoes that Can Charge Your Phone - http://clapway.com/2015/10/20/turkish-boy-makes-shoes-that-can-charge-your-phone123/

To all people who struggle with keeping their phones charged while on the go, and to others who forget their chargers at home when they need it the most: there is a possibility that you could one day buy a pair of shoes that can charge your phone.

No Catchy Name For It Yet, But It’s A Promising Project

Furkan Faruk Aslan, from Meslin, Turkey, is developing shoes that can charge your phone as you walk. Hikers, tourists and general people that are always on the run could have the chance to keep their battery life safe. For those who are more sedentary, perhaps the setback will encourage a little extra exercise in the absence of an electric plug.

Faruk Aslan, a high school student, already has a prototype of the project, and he explains that by inserting a magnetic dynamo on the shoe’s heel and moving it, it’s able to release electricity from a 9-volt battery. As of now, a 200 meter jog, the phone starts to recharge.

This project is not the only one of it’s kind, as we’ve seen in past years other people from around the world attempting to build shoes that were made for charging, and they all faced a similar plight: the time for exercising vs the time for charging was too large.

This is Not The First Time It’s Been Proposed

Fifteen year old Angelo Casimiro had a similar campaign in 2014, but one had to jog for at least eight hours to charge a lithium ion battery, and nearly two hours of heavy exercise for a ten minute phone charge. Similarly, a campaign named SolePower designed a shoe insole that charged a battery strapped to the shoe itself, which can then be removed to charge your smartphone. This design, however, is bulkier than Faruk Aslan’s idea, which does follow the principle of charging while walking.

Faruk Aslan hopes, if his project gets green-lit, to close this gap, as well as to find a way to use clean energy without fuel to set the shoe in gear.

Though the idea is not original, it’s still fresh and hasn’t been spread to the mass market yet. The fact that this campaign fights both for clean energy and encourages exercise is enough indication that projects like these are the ones that should be widespread.

The WalkCar Is Basically the Segway 2.0 - http://clapway.com/2015/08/09/the-walkcar-is-basically-the-segway-2-012/

The Segway never revolutionized personal transportation the way that its creator might have hoped it would, but one Japanese inventor is looking to take another crack at it with the WalkCar.

It Doesn’t Get More Literal than the WalkCar

The name implies almost everything you need to really know about the purpose of the WalkCar. The device has a very portable design — it’s about as large as a typical laptop — which allows it to be carried with the user just about anywhere. Just throw it in your bag and you’re well on your way. “I thought, ‘what if we could just carry our transportation in our bags, wouldn’t that mean we’d always have our transportation with us to ride on?” said WalkCar creator Kuniako Saito in a recent report from Reuters.

The WalkCar is More Than Capable

The $800 mobile device is surprising in more ways than one. The WalkCar is composed of aluminum and only weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of four to six pounds. Even with its lightweight body, the device can still support a person weighing up to 265 pounds. Riding on the WalkCar is interesting, and it’s best thought of like a skateboard. The device activates and goes when the rider stands on it. To guide the board the user just shifts their weight, similar to a skateboard. The max speed of the WalkCar is around 6.2 miles, which is just about on par with a brisk walking speed. To make the device stop, the user just needs to step off the vehicle. So far the device seems to work largely as expected. The biggest complaint users have had so far has revolved around how loud the motor can be while riding around.

So When Can We Get One?

The good news is that people interested in the project will be able to reserve one sometime this fall when Saito says the Kickstarter page will go live. As stated previously, fans will be able to pick one up for right around $800. The current launch date is set in Spring of 2016. So what do you guys think? Will the WalkCar be able to accomplish what the Segway couldn’t?

"Bringing these gadgets to travel with you on your adventures will break any cultural or language barrier, while boredom and fatal signs of caffeine withdrawal can be resolved in minutes." - http://clapway.com/2015/06/21/the-best-gadgets-to-travel-with-this-summer/

To me, the concept of travelling is one big oxymoron. On the one hand, it is fun. Going away anywhere new brings out that inner childlike excitement in me, a sense of adventure and occasionally, relaxation. However, this ideal notion of rest and de – stressing never normally lasts. Getting lost in East Harlem, ordering the wrong drink as a result of my bad French accent and being unable to contact anyone unless I am near a wifi friendly zone are just some of the first world problems I have recently faced on my travels. To make my life a little easier from now on, and yours too, I have come up with a list of life-changing (at times also saving) gadgets to travel with on my next get away:

iTranslate

We have all been there (I hope it’s not just me). Mispronouncing a word, nodding ferociously at anyone conversing with you (hoping they aren’t secretly telling you that you are weird) or ending up with Snail Pie after politely pointing at an exotic sounding dish from the menu. Now, thanks to iTranslate, language barriers can be broken. Free to download on Itunes, this app will translate words, phrases and text in over 90 languages.

Apple Airport Express

Want wifi? Check. Need to print your boarding pass? Check. Want to listen to your music through speakers? Go on then. The multi functional Apple Airport Express certainly knows how to spoil you. Allowing you to print wirelessly, share photos and manage your very own wifi network. What’s better, is that this device is just $99. Those airport waits are about to get a whole lot more fun.

Wacaco Minipresso

Travelling is tiring and sometimes you need the help of caffeine to get you through to the end of the day. Spending money in coffee shops can be expensive and depending where you are, they might be few and far between. The Wacaco Minipresso is a hand operated, compact espresso machine that is small enough to carry around in your bag and take out after your next energy slump.

Scrubba

If you are going to be backpacking around Europe this summer, you will be having to limit what you take. However, what happens when it comes to running out of clean clothes? Scrubba is a compact wash bag that allows you to wash your clothes wherever you are. What’s better, is that you can dry them too. Who needs a washing machine?

Satechi Smart Travel Router

I have lost count of the number of plug adaptors I have collected in the past few years. If you are unlikely to travel back to that country in the near future, it can lead to an expensive investment. This smart Satechi Smart Travel Router adapts to fit the most common plug configurations in one small, neat cube. Result – a fully charged phone to entertain me at the bus stop.

Bringing these gadgets to travel with you on your adventures will break any cultural or language barrier, while boredom and fatal signs of caffeine withdrawal can be resolved in minutes. Compact, light and forward thinking, these gadgets will send you back from your holiday as relaxed as when you arrived.
