Digital Life – It’s a jungle in the Javits Center
That’s right humans I’m going to the Big Apple to hang out and review and test out some of the newest products to hit the market. I’ll be in there Thursday Thu Sat afternoon gathering stuff for the site and getting all the inside information to share with everyone on the site.
Here’s a little preview of a few products and services that grabbed my interest. I try to pick products that aren’t boring and that human’s can see themselves using. Without further delay check out what’s going to be at the show.

Theses guys have been innovators in the field of consumer electronics and won’t be stopping short at this years show. The Flytech Dragonfly is already on the market and ready to fly in your house for under $50. Ok here’s the quick rundown:
- Flying Bug
- Flies indoors and out
- Radio controlled
- Flying Bug ( how cool is that)
Think about how much fun this will be on the holidays. Check out the video spotlight for a demo. Hopefully we will get one soon demo it and give it away to one of our members.
Find out more about them at Flytech Dragonfly
Ok so the next thing I’m going to be looking at is ooVoo. According to the website and the PR guys that have been bothering me
ooVoo” is the next evolution in online communication.” Well I’m always for cheap and easy ways to get in touch with my brothers and sister primates across the globe so this is something I’m really looking forward too. Users have the ability to add an ooVoo link to any webpage, Myspace or other personal networking site. This could be a big addition to your Myspace, Facebook or BJ’s Communtiy site. Check them out now and since accounts are free sign up and link to BJ.
Some quick things about ooVoo you need to know:
- Link up to 6 friends online at the same time. Yes that’s right six video chats all at once ( Check the comments below)
- Mac users are going to have to wait for all the cool kids to use this first before it comes their way.
- Friends and Fav’s list to make contacting people easy.
Well I’m looking forward to playing with this at the show. After all I may get a chance to ooVoo with Howard Stern and Laura Croft. Ok so I’m not trying to do a review now so check it out and click on the icon to ooVoo Me
Ok it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t talk about Novint Technologies. Afterall one of their games has my buddy Newton doing his thing…but enough about Monkey Business. The Novient Falcon is a little Robot that replaces your Joystick or mouse and give you a real feel for the game your playing. I have yet to use it but I’m really looking forward to trying this puppy out.
The claim is When you hold the Falcon’s detachable Grip and to interact with a virtual object motors in the device activate and are updated approximately 1000 times a second. This is suppose to give you the feel texture, shape, weight, dimension, and dynamics of the object you are interacting with. According to the website the Falcon lets you control and interact with games in more realistic way, allowing you to develop real physical skill and muscle memory, adding a new dimension to gaming. Now if you ask me it sounds like the Wii controller for PC or the Power Glove of failed attempts to bring player into the game.
The Wii is going to be a hard act to follow so I hope Novint has really come up with a good solution for PC users. The public can check them out by visiting them at Digital Life or the 32 city tour to try it for yourself. If all goes well we may have one of these to give away to our readers so check back for our monthly featured product giveaways.

Find them Novint Tech for more info or just wait for our review after the show.
You can find video out in BJ’s Video Community
Ok so that’s it for now and I hope you enjoy. I’ll have plenty more video’s, interviews and other great stuff from the show late next week so check back for that and also check back to see what we are going to be giving away. You never know the very products you see on this site could be yours for the price of visiting the website and joining the community.

Hi BJ, I write for ooVooworld, the unofficial WOM world about ooVoo, and thought I’d clear up your confusion:
ooVoo lets you video chat, not just text chat (although you can do that too) with up to 6 users simultaneously. That’s what makes it unique in a field where most free video apps only allow 2 participants. And you can send one-minute video messages instead of emails. And the quality is great.
Will keep an eye out on here for your review as I’m always looking for opinions and experiences of ooVoo so will be good to see what you think!
Cheers, Molly

Thanks for clearing that up Human. I wondered if I miss understood the website.. Now I can’t wait to play with this a bit. I’m actually going to have one of my humans use this to talk with his family while at Digital Life can’t wait to see how ooVoo works.
