Japanese appliance store stocks electric vehicle

Original: Japanese appliance store stocks electric vehicle

The choice of electric vehicles continues to grow, while charging networks are popping up everywhere from McDonald's to Austrian phone booths. Now, bringing innovation to the sale and distribution of electric vehicles, Mitsubishi has partnered with Japanese appliance chain Yamada Denki to sell its i-MiEV electric vehicle from 17 stores within the Tokyo area.

Mitsubishi has sold 3,000 i-MiEVs in Japan since sales began in April 2010, but is hoping to boost these figures by taking the vehicle in-store. Sales are supported by staff specialising in electric vehicles, while Yamada Denki is planning to introduce test drive events. In addition, a broader range of services are reportedly lined up, including the installation of solar energy systems and charging stations.

This initiative comes as part of Yamada Denki's "smart-house business" campaign — aiming to address environmental issues through the sale of eco-friendly products. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi will gain access to a new audience, educating consumers about the benefits of electric vehicles and enjoying the resulting sales. Before too long, we expect to see similar deals emerging in eco-aware markets around the world.

Entrepreneurs: Eric Olson and Al Boyce, dedicated home brewers with day jobs--Olson teaches business at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minn., and Boyce is a computer programmer for U.S. Bank in St. Paul, Minn.

What Possessed Them: A fellow home brewer e-mailed Olson a photo of a crazy-looking pub on wheels in Europe. "I said, 'Damn, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life.'" He tracked down the creators--brothers Henk and Zwier van Laar in (where else?) Amsterdam--and asked how to make one. They sold him one instead.

"Aha" Moment::In 2007, they got the first PedalPub rolling and sent e-mails out to friends and family, expecting a mild reaction. "But our e-mail list started to explode," Olson says. "And that's when I had the first inkling that this might be really successful."

Startup: Savings and home-equity loans covered the $40,000 to buy their first PedalPub, plus $20,000 to buy a van, a trailer, insurance, storage and marketing materials.

Pedalmania: Olson and Boyce have six PedalPubs in the Twin Cities, one in Houston, plus licensees in Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Lawrence, Kan., and Milwaukee; plus, one sold to Amstel Light.

Customers: Birthday parties, corporate events, even a wedding. Most are women--68 percent.

Vital Stats: PedalPubs weigh 2,340 pounds empty (without beer or dri nkers) and have a top speed of 5 mph. They seat 10 pedalers, a bartender and a driver and rent for $160 to $190 per hour, BYOB.

2011 and Beyond: They plan to franchise the concept next year. Says Olson, "I'd love to see 500 of these things all over the country."

How to Make Millions with Your Ideas: An Entrepreneur's Guide by Dan S. Kennedy

The benefits of music as a therapeutic tool are widely acknowledged, but actually creating music has traditionally required more dexterity and skill than many handicapped people have at their command. Not so the Skoog, a brand-new musical instrument that can be played by anyone.

Designed specifically to empower those unable to play traditional instruments, the Skoog is a soft, squeezable object that plugs into a computer's USB port. Once that's done, users can simply touch, press, squash, twist or tap the Skoog to play a wide range of instruments intuitively. With five colour-coded, touch-sensitive sides, the Skoog offers access to the full dynamic characteristics of a real flute or xylophone, for example, without requiring mastery on the part of the player. Any part of the body can be used to play the Skoog in a variety of ways, such as squeezing it for flute sounds or tapping it to strike a xylophone. And because the Skoog uses physical modelling synthesis — not just sampling, midi or wavetable synthesis — it responds directly to the player's movements, so that variations in touch directly affect the sound produced. Twelve brass, woodwind, percussion and string instruments can be played using the Skoog, which can also be customized through sensitivity and skill settings. Pricing is GBP 625 for a Skoog Personal Edition, or GBP 500 in educational settings.

Currently sold by Scottish Skoogmusic — a spinoff from the University of Edinburgh, where it was developed — the Skoog is already in use in schools across the UK and beyond.

It seems safe to say that women's panties never used to travel so far nor so wide. First, we saw Canadian Panty by Post, which offers panties by curated subscription. Now, we just recently came across KnickerMail, which sends luxury panties in place of greeting cards.

Daring Christmas seasons-greeters, for example, begin by choosing what colour of unisize panties they'd like to send — available choices include black, purple and red. They then select the text they'd like to include on the accompanying card, and take care of the address and payment details. From there the knickers get sent on their way, and senders are advised to "prepare for the reaction. Chilling a bottle of champagne and sourcing black candles recommended." Pricing is GBP 29.

KnickerMail is yet another example of what our sister site calls the maturialism trend. Time to bring a little extra spice to Christmas — or greetings in general — in your part of the world? (Related: Five hands-on examples of the MATURIALISM trendBreath mint brand lets customers redeem points for vibrating toys.)

Personal device records and plays back life-saving instructions

Original: Personal device records and plays back life-saving instructions

For people suffering from conditions such as epilepsy, asthma and severe allergies, there is always the possibility that their lives will depend on the assistance of untrained strangers in the event of a seizure or incapacitating attack. We've already seen temporary tattoos for kids used to convey life-saving information in such events, but recently we came across a device that offers a more comprehensive solution.

The Press Don't Panic device allows audio information in any language to be recorded and stored by the wearer for playback when they need help. Instructions with emergency procedures and other essential medication can be recorded ahead of time. Then, in the event of a seizure or attack, either the wearer or a bystander can press the device's clearly marked button to initiate playback, giving those nearby the information they need to offer meaningful help. Launch pricing on the device is currently GBP 29.99.

Medical conditions are one of the great levelers in this world, particularly when the help of strangers is required. It seems safe to say there will always be a market for inspired solutions that make such conditions easier to bear.

Hard on the heels of our story about Fast Society's iPhone app comes word of another mobile app for real-time group communication. Available for both iPhone and Android, GroupMe is a free tool from New York-based Mindless Dribble that gives groups of friends private text messaging and instant conference calls.

Users of GroupMe — which is now in beta — begin by entering their name and telephone number to start a group. GroupMe then generates a unique phone number for that group and sends it to the user. From there, the user can add friends to the group and send everyone group messages. The group's number also serves as a conference line, so dialing it will ring everyone in the group. A photo sharing capability, meanwhile, lets users send photos to all members of their group at once. As many as 25 people can be included in a group at any one time, but users can create as many groups as they want — one for their basketball team, one for coordinating a surprise party, one for the PTA, one for updating family members while travelling, etc. (See GroupMe's blog for examples of how people are putting the technology to use.)

Like Fast Society, GroupMe does not require that users have a smartphone — every phone that can send and receive text messages is supported. It also currently works only in the U.S. Another one to help bring to other parts of the world!

Consultants offer $99 analysis of new business ideas

Original: Consultants offer $99 analysis of new business ideas

Finding quality feedback and advice on the feasibility of their ideas has always been a challenge for entrepreneurs. Traditional consulting firms remain out of reach, while free advice from friends and family can lack true objectivity. Hoping to fill this gap, Austrian feedbackers.biz offers quick, professional advice on new business ideas.

The company employs a team of consultants who will assess an idea within 24 hours as part of a USD 99 'Quick Check'. Potential clients fill out a contact form and they are then contacted for a detailed discussion of the idea in question. At this point, they may request feedbackers.biz to focus on a particular area, such as design or competitors. The service — which is available in English, French, German, Russian and Spanish — promises to evaluate each aspect of a business plan, from the strengths, weaknesses and risk factors associated with the concept to the accuracy of financial calculations. A 'Close Look' option is also available clients who seek more comprehensive analysis of their plans.

The main challenge for feedbackers.biz is to prove that its advice is valid. For example by including client testimonials and offering more information about its consultants. And how about publishing a sample analysis? In order to succeed, it will also need to be able to reassure potential clients that it won't 'steal' their ideas. That said, there's definitely a market for professional advice with reasonable and transparent pricing.

How to Make Millions with Your Ideas: An Entrepreneur's Guide by Dan S. Kennedy

Product comparison site Reevoo offers over 1 million reviews on a vast range of products, going up against similar services from the likes of Epinions and Amazon's hosted reviews. However, consumers faced with such overwhelming choice can now turn to an alternative offering of curated product selections from Reevoo.

Just buy this one sidesteps the information overload provided by its parent site, instead taking the cumulative ratings of reviews to offer a single recommendation for each product category. Nine categories are featured, including laptops, TVs, toasters and vacuum cleaners, with multiple price points available for each. The site simply offers an image of the best rated product alongside a brief list of features and the best price available — with a link to buy. If they want more information, customers can click through to Reevoo at any point to see the full range of products and reviews.

There is wealth of information available online that helps consumers to weigh up the evidence and make informed decisions, but what can you do to cater to those who have little time, or inclination, to do the research themselves…?

Instead of Styrofoam, milk proteins and clay

Original: Instead of Styrofoam, milk proteins and clay

All the many environmental offenses that have been committed by Styrofoam over the years have made it a prime candidate for replacement by an eco-friendly alternative. That's a big part of the motivation behind Ecovative's Greensulate, which we covered back in 2008, and it's also a key factor underlying the creation of AeroClay.

AeroClay is a Styrofoam substitute that's formulated using an eco-friendly, water-based chemistry incorporating clay and polymer blends. Known for its extremely low density and high air content — it's roughly 95 to 99 percent air by volume — AeroClay is based on a patented technology developed at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University. First, clay is dispersed in water and mixed with milk-based polymers; then, it's poured into a mold and freeze-dried. In addition to being lightweight and made from readily available materials, AeroClay is also biodegradable. After being compressed, it springs back to its original shape.

Perhaps best of all is that by manipulating the manufacturing processes and materials used, AeroClay products can be produced with a variety of different properties and a wide range of possible uses. One to test out for your next green-minded venture...?

Entrepreneurs: Eric Olson and Al Boyce, dedicated home brewers with day jobs--Olson teaches business at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minn., and Boyce is a computer programmer for U.S. Bank in St. Paul, Minn.

What Possessed Them: A fellow home brewer e-mailed Olson a photo of a crazy-looking pub on wheels in Europe. "I said, 'Damn, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life.'" He tracked down the creators--brothers Henk and Zwier van Laar in (where else?) Amsterdam--and asked how to make one. They sold him one instead.

"Aha" Moment::In 2007, they got the first PedalPub rolling and sent e-mails out to friends and family, expecting a mild reaction. "But our e-mail list started to explode," Olson says. "And that's when I had the first inkling that this might be really successful."

Startup: Savings and home-equity loans covered the $40,000 to buy their first PedalPub, plus $20,000 to buy a van, a trailer, insurance, storage and marketing materials.

Pedalmania: Olson and Boyce have six PedalPubs in the Twin Cities, one in Houston, plus licensees in Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Lawrence, Kan., and Milwaukee; plus, one sold to Amstel Light.

Customers: Birthday parties, corporate events, even a wedding. Most are women--68 percent.

Free iPhone app enables instant, private group chat for any phone

Original: Free iPhone app enables instant, private group chat for any phone

It can be difficult for groups to keep in touch while on the go, but a new iPhone app offers a compelling solution. With Fast Society, people with mobile phones of any kind can coordinate using private group text messages, instant conference calls and easy location-sharing.

Now available in the App Store, Fast Society is a free iPhone app that provides instant, private mobile group chat. Users simply pick a length of time for their connection — the duration of a concert event, say — invite some friends, and chat with them live via group text message. Anything sent to 32787 (FASTS) will go out to the entire group, but users can also send "CALL" and link up in an instant conference call. Location-sharing, meanwhile, takes just two taps. Group members who don't have iPhones can use the app via m.fastsociety.com — it works with virtually any SMS-enabled phone and supports nearly every major US cell service provider.

Fast Society currently works only in the United States, but it plans to expand internationally. One to partner with toward that end...?

Mommy, is there really a Santa Claus? Why did Billy's mom say there isn't a Santa? If you haven't heard these questions yet, you likely will as the little ones grow and begin to question the antics and even the sheer existence of the jolly old elf. Would you like to be able to offer a bit of proof to an inquiring little mind? Wouldn't we all like to prolong the magic of Santa Claus even one more year? iCaughtSanta.com lets parents not only put an end to the questions and doubt—but, create a memorable photo of Santa caught in the act in a child's very own home!

Meeting Santa at the mall or the local toy store rarely puts a child's questions to rest. Imagine, instead, being able to offer a color photo of Santa literally caught in the act of delivering holiday joy in the child's own living room or perhaps descending the fireplace in the little ones very own home. iCaughtSanta.com helps visitors create a unique keepsake photo of Santa inside the child's home by combining site provided digital images of Santa Claus with a user's uploaded digital photo as the background. Want a photo of Santa by the Christmas tree—or bending down to pet the family dog? With 20 different Santa poses from which to choose, visitors can sel ect a wide variety of poses to coordinate with personal background photos.

Yes, tech savvy parents or photographers may be able to accomplish such a photo creation with a variety of software tools—but, for many of us, the time and effort involved is a bit too much at such a busy time of the year. iCaughtSanta.com makes it easy. In three simple steps visitors to iCaughtSanta.com can upload a holiday scene—such as a shot of the fireplace or the Christmas tree, add an iCaughtSanta.com offered image of Santa Claus and print it either at home or have it printed at participating retailers. Photos can also be shared via email, Facebook or on Twitter.

iCaughtSanta.com uses Adobe Flash technology to create custom images from user uploaded photos combined with one of the 20 Santa images available on the site. The site is designed with three easy steps in mind—but, users are able to take advantage of advanced settings to rotate and move the Santa overlay image, or adjust the size, brightness and color of both the chosen Santa and the uploaded holiday background to be sure that the Santa image matches the digital photo.

These make really cute keepsake gifts for grandchildren or nieces and nephews as well. Last-minute shoppers can also purchase Gift Cards and eGift Certificates for loved ones with children, making iCaughtSanta.com photos a unique gift idea even if you aren't a parent yourself. If Santa doesn't visit a child in your life—check out some of the other beloved childhood characters such as the Tooth Fairy available at iCaughtacharacter.com—the home site for iCaughtSanta.

Indian tour operator offers pre-paid holidays in a box

Original: Indian tour operator offers pre-paid holidays in a box

Offered under the Mumbai-based SOTC brand of global travel company Kuoni, Box Holidays are tangible, prepackaged travel offerings that can be purchased online or off the shelf in a participating retail store. Rather than having to spend time and effort researching options with a travel agent, purchasers can simply buy a Box Holiday, which features all the key details on the outside of the box, including price, validity period, service inclusions and exclusions, complimentary offers, loyalty benefits, discounts, cancellation rules and hotel images.

Buyers (or recipients) of SOTC Box Holidays need only call to schedule the dates on which they'd like to redeem the package. Pricing begins at INR 7,000 for a three-day, two-night domestic getaway for two, and travel can be done at any time within the package's validity period. International packages begin at INR 47,410 for four days and three nights, and price protection against exchange rate fluctuations is included. Also packaged into many Box Holidays are holiday vouchers, value add-ons, discount coupons, destination information, tips and other freebies. SOTC Box Holidays are available at Globus stores in Mumbai and select BigBazaar outlets in Delhi, as well as online.

Besides appealing to new groups of tourists who might be daunted by the prospects of organizing holiday travel, it seems a safe bet that consumers around the globe would be more likely to consider travel for gift-giving purposes if it were available as a tangible box in mainstream retail outlets.

Web-based email client targets senior citizens

Original: Web-based email client targets senior citizens

Much the way GreatCall's Jitterbug phones and the more recently debuted John's phones both focus on simplicity for the benefit of senior citizens, so Red Stamp Mail aims to make e-mail clear and easy for those who didn't grow up with it.

Operated by Israel-based Platonix Technologies, Red Stamp Mail is a completely web-based email client, requiring no downloads or installations. Rather, the service works with any existing email account that can be accessed via POP3 or IMAP — it even works with text-only browsers and screen readers. Whereas many e-mail programs today try to cram as much information as possible onto the screen — making them unsuitable for users with reduced eyesight or impaired motor skills — Red Stamp Mail was designed to offer a simple, accessible way to read and write email. Large, readable fonts and high-contrast colors help toward that end, as does the client's Mailbox Tab, which presents mail in a clear and simple format, grouped by day of arrival; it also gives users simple ways to search and filter their messages. Mail from established contacts is clearly marked, meanwhile, making it easy to filter out spam. After a 30-day free trial, Red Stamp Mail costs USD 18 for a year of service.

With more than 1.5 billion people over 65 expected worldwide by the year 2050, according to the US Census Bureau, there's no shortage of opportunities to tailor technology products and services accordingly. How can your brand open new technological doors to senior citizens...?
