Top 5 Newest Products in 2010

1. MyKey by Ford


Teens have a propensity for unsafe driving. That’s hardly news, but what parents can now do to encourage safe driving is. The MyKey can be set to control the vehicle by limiting speed, chiming when the gas tank is 75 miles from empty, and limiting the car’s audio by as much as 44%. Kids will hate it. That’s probably why it’s such a good thing.

2. Tri-Specs


You have your phone, your iPod, your headphones, and your wi-fi headset, in case you get a call. You have your sunglasses. You’re ready to go–or are you? What if you could pull on your shades and have all of the above, in one cool package? Enter Tri-Specs. They come built-in Bluetooth wireless headphones for an MP3 Player or cell phone, retractable earbuds, built-in volume control, and even voice control. For $200, you can be the coolest kid on the block.

3. Microsoft Xbox360 Project Natal


Now that Microsoft did the wireless controller right, they’re throwing it out the virtual Window in favor of Project Natal. Rumored to be coming at one of next year’s conferences, PN will have no controller or wires connecting you with the screen. We’ll see if it works.

4. Google Wave


Google has a way of inventing things that people do not know they need until they understand the product. Its latest such creation is Google Wave. It’s not email. It’s not chat. Rather, a Wave is a document that acts like a conversation, live and changeable on the fly. Rich media drives the experience. But you won’t really know how much you need it until Google actually gives it to you.

5. The KS810 Keyboard Scan

The keyboard with a fully-integrated scanner takes product hybridization one step further. The KS810 keyboard contains a full-color, 600dpi scanner that lets you drop scans into most online applications. If keyboard scanning isn’t your thing, product creator Lifeworks is also offering a keyboard with a built-in iPod dock.
