We’ve had our eyes on Argo Medical Technologies’ ReWalk for a couple years, ever since the exoskeleton walked into view with a gait (and a sound) eerily reminiscent of RoboCop’s. The device weighs seven pounds and features two leg braces with motorized joints and motion sensors, a harness, and a backpack for holding the computer that controls the device and a battery that should last a good three-and-a-half hours. In addition to giving paraplegics the ability to walk, this bad boy can be used to treat the health complications of those who cannot walk on their own, including digestive, cardiovascular, and circulatory issues. After clinical trials in the US and Israel, the device is due to go on sale to rehab centers worldwide this January. The cost for one will be in the $100,000 mark.

December 6, 2010 No Comment
We’ve already gotten a glimpse of some of RIM’s PlayBook demo at the recent TabLife conference, but Rogers has now finally posted the complete video of what may well be the most comprehensive look at the device to date. That includes a peek at the most recent software build, a demonstration of 1080p video playback, and a look at the device’s “true multitasking” capabilities — which, incidentally, was all demonstrated using just one half of the device’s dual-core processor. What’s more, RIM’s David Neale also confirmed that the device will indeed support 4G at some point in the future, and he naturally addressed some of Apple’s recent criticisms of smaller tablets, saying that “there is room in the world for different shapes.” Head on past the break for the full 17-minute video.
