There was the chemically activated jelly-pack Chinese hand warmers which you had to put in hot water to get them ready for the next cold day. Sanyo Kairo is a more practical approach to warm your hands. Powered by an internal Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, allowing it to be recharged approximately 500 times. Kairo has an “On/Off” switch so you can use it only when you need it and save energy. That’s something you couldn’t do with the jelly-packs.

The PTC Heater integrated thermostat technology adjusts and stabilizes the temperature to prevent the device heating beyond the temperature you desire. The Eneloop Kairo can be adjusted to 2 settings; high at 43ºC for 5 hours and low at 41ºC for 6 hours. Charges up in about 5 hours with its own AC adapter and weights 85g.

LG Electronics is shipping the first and only player capable of playing both Blu-ray and HD DVD format discs on the market. LG BH100 ”The Super Multi Blue Player” is about $1200 and that’s the price of one Blu-ray player and one HD DVD player. Besides that, the unit is slower than a Blu-Ray-only unit and HD-DVD-only unit to start discs.

So? It looks like it’s still better to choose a winner for yourself and set your home theatre system up with the format you like the most.
