Blackberries for Babies?
There was a time when only lawyers carried blackberries(at least in the music business). Kelis actually had the original blackberry which she used in 2000 on her first tour(see picture after the jump, it worked on 1 AA battery and did not have a phone). Leapfrog which makes great educational toys for kids is now launching a blackberry for babies. It’s interesting to see things develop:

Massage Chair
I guess these can be good for people who do not like strangers touching them.. They have massage chairs at Narita Airport in Japan and they can feel like torture. This Sogno Massage Chair is made by Inada and the retail price is $5999.00. The Sogno chair won the Innovation Award at this year CES convention. They need to just start putting these in planes.

Where are the wings
This car looks like it should have wings but it’s just an electrical car. Again looks really fragile for the intense road raging US streets and the pot holes. BTW, it only has 3 wheels! Made by Aptera, it will be released in California in October. No final price but it will be between $25K and $40K. More info at engadget.com.

New NASA Lunar vehicle unveiled
We did get a glimpse of this vehicle at the end of the presidential inauguration parade but they did not give it much light but someone in the grand stand got some good footage. Hopefully President Obama won’t be cutting NASA’s budget too much and we can head back to the moon soon (2020). The Lunar Electric Rover was tested in the Arizona desert last October and is run by a plug-in electric Lithium-ion battery.

Roadable Aircraft
We’re not sure this is a good idea even though we like the concept. A fender bender could really create some real issues once in flight? Plus you still have to drive to the runway, but once you get there you can fly 500 miles on a full tank of gas. Test flights are set to begin and thus far 40 people have put down deposits. Price tag: $194,000.00. Made by Terrafugia:
