Kenwood AS-iP70 converges picture frame, alarm clock, FM radio and iPhone dock into one

We know, you’ve seen enough iDevice docks to make your eyes bleed with frustration, but if your bedside table is growing a bit cluttered with all the appendages and chargers you have lying around, you might wanna check this one out. Kenwood’s 7-inch AS-iP70 can serve as a picture viewer, a music player, an alarm clock, or an FM radio, while also packing USB and SD card inputs for alternative media sources. All in all, it looks quite slick and has plenty of buttons to play around with, but be warned that its 800 x 480 resolution is intended for pictures only, there’s no video playback to be had. If that and the ¥25,000 sticker (about $270, launching in Japan this April) have you running scared, you might want to check out Sony’s cheaper, AVI-playing alternative right over here. More pictures of Kenwood’s new hotness can be found at the source.

Kenwood Cooking Chef Makes Risottos and Meringues Automagically [Appliances]

I love to cook. I enjoy going to the market, and cooking all kinds of meat, seafood, and rice for lunch and dinner parties with my dearester friends at home. That’s why I’d never get the Kenwood Cooking Chef.

My point is: What’s the fun of using a machine like the Kenwood Cooking Chef—which can cook at temperatures between 68ºF and 284ºF while stirring at three different speeds—to cook a risotto? Where is the fun in that when the alternative is doing it yourself alongside your loved one, improvising, sharing a nice wine, music, and conversation, waiting for your friends to arrive?

I rest my case. [Daily Mail via Dvice]
