Watch Out, it’s HAL

Posted on February 25, 2010 by David Allen

You know that is must be a serious mistake to name a computer HAL, mind you having said that I suppose from a marketing point of view it is a wonder that there has not been a computer named that before, apart from the crazy one in the film.

However, this HAL is the iLet Mini is looks as it may be giving Apple a run for its money when they get the iPad out next month and with a starting price of just under $200, it could well do that.

Therefore, to keep a drink at the right temperature this simple USB powered pad will do the job to a maximum of 133 degrees and minimum 59 degrees.

Features of the hot and cold cup pad:

Drawing power from a USB port on your computer, its built-in thermoelectric module either warms a beverage up to 133º or cools it down to 59�
