Gadgets – March 2010
Samsung MD320
Samsung's six-panel monitor is the first to show multi-screen high def. When paired with an AMD graphics processor, it can show one image (as large as a 60-inch display) or six separate views. $3,100
Whirlpool Vantage
This Whirlpool is the first washer you can teach how to handle clothes. Its built-in USB port will soon let you add custom cycles (downloaded to a flash drive from your computer) for garment-specific instructions. Price not set
Sharp Aquos LE920
Our eyes are capable of seeing millions of colors, and this HDTV is the first to re-create just as many. Sharp's LCD adds a separate yellow filter to the usual red, blue and green, so it can mix more than a trillion colors. From $3,600 (est.)
New Kinetix Re
The Re dongle and its app make your iPhone a remote. Its infrared emitter stores the codes for your TV and other devices, which it can learn from other remotes by capturing and replicating their signals. Price not set
Recon-Zeal Transcend
Read your current speed, temperature, altitude and more from the inside of your goggles. A lens and mirror make the image from a 0.6-inch LCD in the lower right-hand corner appear as a virtual 14-inch display. From $350 (est.)
Haier Trainer Earphones
Haier's earbuds turn any MP3 player into a heart-rate monitor. A sensor on the controls takes your pulse through your thumb, and the data is dictated to you and saved for review on a PC later. $40
Sony Dash
Get headlines automatically. This seven-inch Wi-Fi display updates and scrolls your picks of thousands of free feeds. Its apps (including Reuters news and others from gadget company Chumby) broadcast changes whenever fresh info pops up. $200
