The Japanese R/C model car company KYOSHO is about to release the dNaNo series in USA and Europe. These micro cars are super realistic 1:43 scale replicas and they’ve got the same level of details as the Die-cast models do.

Here’s a video clip showing the Kyosho dNaNo cars in action:

What makes dNaNo really outstanding, beside its impressive performance, is the USB compatible control unit. It allows the user to setup the car via the Kyosho web server.

By registering the car and entering the special circuit, the dedicated ID assigned to the IC tag on each car during production links to the circuit and starts measuring lap times. While displaying your data on the circuit display, all circuits are networked to the dNaNo Server, which automatically gets updated with your lap times.

You can access this webpage from your PC. This amazing system made possible with the dNaNo provides you with a deeper involvement with your racing machine and its performance, bringing you closer to the racing experience than ever before.

Head on over to the kyosho.com and dnanoshop.com websites for prices and more information about the dNaNo USB R/C micro cars from Kyosho.

Here are the specs:

• SONY Digital Navigation System #NVX-F160
• SONY Pre-Amp XDP-U50D
• SONY Magic Link System with pager. This is the original vehicle PDA system before there were PDAs. Google Sony Magic Link System to get an idea. I do not know how to use it but it is there. I think you send emails, messaging, etc.

• SONY Hi-8 VCR

The Santok SP500 is the first visor mounted speakerphone to feature caller ID that automatically synchronises with the contacts list in the phone it’s being used with, displaying the caller’s name instead of just their number.

It features advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) with automatic echo cancellation using a technique similar to that found on high-end noise cancellation headphones. Additionally, it also has the benefit of an extra long battery life between charges – up to 600 hours standby time, or eight to ten hours talk time.

Attention has been paid to the little details to set this aside from other similar products too. For example – it has charging sockets located on both sides of the unit. This means that if it needs to be plugged into a 12v socket to charge whilst driving, it’s far easier to ensure that the cables don’t get in the way. In addition, the LCD caller display is adjustable so that it can be tilted to the most useful angle.

Compatible with all Bluetooth handsets and with no complicated installation procedures necessary, the SP500 offers a convenient way to safely take or make phone calls in a car, and is also a great way to go hands free in the office or at home too.
