Keyport ships Mini-LED, offers Slide in four splendiferous new hues

It ain't a mind-bending concept, but the Keyport Slide solves a problem that far too many humans have. Put simply, this multi-key tool allows users to store both key imprints and digital files in a single device, and for those on the hunt for something to match their Sunday best... well, look no further. The outfit has just introduced a foursome of new Slide colors: Gunmetal, Zircon Gold, Copper, and Champagne. Starter bundles are still listed at $79, and if you believe the outfit's CEO, there's "much more on the horizon." You know, like the initial shipments of its $10 Mini-LED, which was also revealed today. Tap that source link if you're gushing with joy (and we know you are).

 
Keyport's Mini-LED for the Ultimate Keychain Alternative Is Now Available Along with New Slide Colors

Keyport's Universal Access Device Shines a Light on the Shortcomings of a Bulky Keychain

HENDERSON, NV- April 4, 2011-- Only a month removed from introducing its USB flash drive insert, Keyport, Inc. announces that its mini-LED insert, designed to fit securely in the Keyport Slide V.01, is ready to ship. Lightweight and compact, the Keyport Slide consolidates keys and other personal items (thumb drive, bottle opener, LED) typically crammed onto a keychain and streamlines them into a single universal access device. About the same size as a traditional key fob that holds only one key, the Keyport provides access to each of the six ports with just the slide of a thumb.

For a look at the Keyport Slide in action, please visit http://www.youtube.com/thekeyport.

Keyport's new water-resistant Mini-LED features two lithium ion batteries that last up to 15 hours. "Adding a light to the Keyport's growing set of features not only illuminates darkened hallways and difficult to find keyways, but it also shines the light on the inadequacies of a bulky keychain. In this case, bigger is definitely not better," says President David Cooper.

Keyport Advantages

* Compact and Lightweight - Keyport's sleek design weighs only 2.1 ounces fully loaded and fits comfortably in the 5th pocket of a pair of jeans
* Handles Most Keys - Keyport accommodates the vast majority of key types including most high security and chipped auto keys
* No Pain, All Gain - Keyport does not rip up pants pockets or stab the user in the leg and eliminates pocket jingle
* Motorcyclist's Best Friend - Keyport is designed to eliminate scratches on the handlebars from dangling keys without having to carry a separate key
* Lanyard Attachment - Keyport comes with an optional quick-release lanyard to be able to add loose items such a car alarm fob
* Lost & Found - Each Keyport comes with a laser engraved serial number which, when registered, can be used to reunite a recovered Keyport with its owner

Keyport also announces the introduction of four additional Slide colors - Gunmetal, Zircon Gold, Copper, and Champagne. Keyport's Founder and Chief Product Designer, Josh Downes summarized, "Our new colors and inserts, like the mini-LED, continue to expand the range of options a customer has to personalize his or her own Keyport, and this is only the beginning. There is much more on the horizon."

Keyport starter bundles are $79 and come with a Keyport Slide V.01, six color Nodes, six key Blades and a detachable quick-release lanyard. The LED light is available for only $9.99 at www.mykeyport.com.

Scientist cooks up adjustable strength metals

As you may know, crafting a katana is a delicate process that involves carefully constructing a razor-sharp high-carbon edge around a soft shock-absorbent core. One day though, smiths and forging fires could be replaced by electrode-wielding mad-scientists, with the technology to selectively harden and soften metal at will. At least that's what we envisioned when we read about Jörg Weißmüller's breakthrough research in the field of nanomaterials. The German scientist discovered that by placing precious metals in acid he could create tiny ducts through corrosion. Once those channels are flooded with a conductive liquid, electrical currents can be used to harden the material and, if you change your mind about the brittle results, the effect can easily be reversed to make it soft again. The tech could eventually lead to self-healing vehicle armor or scratch-resistant cellphones -- but, really, we just want to zap our way to a high-quality samurai sword. Physorg

Compal's 'Ultra Mobile' Ultrabook eyes-on

Intel's already teased Compal's "Ultra Mobile" Ultrabook from afar, but when this Ivy Bridge laptop popped up on the show floor after the Computex keynote, we decided to give it a closer look. While this prototype isn't quite in the same league as ASUS' gorgeous UX21, do bear in mind that we're still looking at a relatively slim package for a 14- to 15-inch Core i7 rig. Also visible around the machine are a couple of USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI-out port, a LAN socket, and an SD card reader. Until we hear more about this Ultra Mobile, enjoy our eyes-on photos below.

Commodore USA puts the new C64 up for pre-sales, unveils far-less-retrotastic VIC-Slim

Desktops Commodore USA puts the new C64 up for pre-sales, unveils far-less-retrotastic VIC-Slim By Sean Hollister posted Apr 6th 2011 8:43PM Now that Commodore USA has sufficiently piqued your curiosity with a revamped Commodore 64 prototype, it's ready to capitalize on the idea. Quite literally, we might add. $595 buys you the basic basic model with an 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom D525 chip, NVIDIA ION 2 graphics, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive -- which it promises to deliver by "early June" -- with hundred-dollar increments adding premium features like an additional 2GB of memory, a Blu-Ray drive, up to 1TB of storage, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth. However, if you're simply looking for a compact keyboard computer (rather than reliving 80's nostalgia) there's another option on tap -- a likely rebadged thin wedge of a machine that Commodore's...
