Hasta La Gadget!

For a watch to look cool and modern, it doesn’t need to be complicated. Although this watch looks like one of those complex Japanese digital watches, it’s not. You just flip its the wall switch face and it lights up to tell you what time it is.

The Click Wall Switch Watch activates when you press on its face and switch on the LED display. It’s a very simple design that makes telling the time very straightforward. The nice, retro LED display reminds me of an old calculator but it can even tell the date thanks to the third position of the switch. There are some animations as well.

You can pretend that you switch time off and on, but you can buy the watch for $99.99(USD) from ThinkGeek or Watchismo in black, blue, red or silver.

I have a big Canon DSLR which I never use. I also stopped using my compact a very long time ago, when the iPhone 3G came out—a classic example of convenience winning over quality. But this tiny beauty, Canon’s new EOS-M mirrorless camera with EF-M lens mount, is making me droll for a gadget again based on its looks alone. More »

If you use a lot of credit cards for paying your monthly bills or for business needs, you probably know that different cards offer different rewards. I know some people that use one specific credit card to pay for everything because they get so many rewards they can go on a free vacation each year by using it. If you have a bunch of credit cards, you would want to use the one with the best rewards at that given time. That can be easier said than done.

This is where a new startup that launched this week called Wallaby comes in. Wallaby combines all of your existing credit cards on one card and then decides which of your card accounts to route transactions to based on where you get the most frequent flyer miles or cash back bonuses at the given moment. The first thing is you have to do is register all your physical cards with Wallaby, and the company gives you a single physical card to use everywhere.

When you register with Wallaby, you don’t have to worry about which card is the best, you simply swipe the card and pay as normal and Wallaby chooses which card to use automatically. Another example is if you go to a restaurant for lunch, and one of your cards has a special double cash back for the specific restaurant; Wallaby will automatically use the best card with no input from you. The first 5000 users to the beta Wallaby service will get a free card for 12 months and after the free year, Wallaby will cost $50 per year. This sounds like an interesting service to me.
