Vices of the week: Transformers vs. Battlesuits

vices_050208.jpg

It's not quite an Autobot, but Camileon's transforming shoes managed to impress us earlier this week with their stylishness if not their primary ability — going from high heels to low in a couple of seconds. They're no jumping stilts, but it's a neat trick. Also garnering our attention was AT&T's new Mobile TV service, which we checked out on the LG's new Vu phone. And we wrapped up the week with a showcase of technologies that could one day be used to build a high-tech battlesuit like Iron Man's.

Other coolness that got our attention:

Urban Security Suit, body armor for the jet set
What Paris Hilton will be wearing for the next terrorist attack.

Hy-Bird electric solar plane to fly around the world this summer, ships next year
The future of air travel: super-lightweight and efficient.

Sharp HDTVs go wireless, cable-free 1080p era is here
Get rid of that tether between your gear and your set.

Mural Dishwasher cleans your plates where you store them; may also work as a shower
Wall mounting a dishwasher? Hey, it works for TVs.

Strap-on rocket-powered helicopter lets you demonstrate your bravery
Are you ready for… the Helicop-teer?

$12,000 is too much to pay for a CD player shaped like a UFO
Maybe for way-out music.

SHIFT: Internet radio — have they finally got it right?
A trio of new services take this neglected medium in a new direction.
