The Mintpass Mintpad is a neat concept, had Nintendo not thought of its conception four years ago with the Nintendo DS. What seems like a glorified stand-alone version of the Nintendo DS’s Pictochat is also a portable media player, camera and web browser.

With this lil’ tablet, you can send full color notes to any other Mintpad users with its built-in WiFi capabilities. It packs 4GB of internal memory, which is a lot considering the IMOVIO iKIT only comes with 64MB and is $15 dollars more expensive. The letdown is that you can’t pull the screen off and stick Post-It notes all over your fridge, this thing is purely digital. I know, it’s a total bummer.

Personally, I haven’t seen Eepybird.com’s Diet Coke and Mentos videos but they’re apparently really spectacular. Now, in a move that will equally please, the duo behind the Mentos gags are messing with Post-it notes. How many to be exact? 280,951. All “submitting to gravity” in the truest sense. Watch in awe and enjoy. What a great experiment. I had no idea a Post-it note was so Slinky-like.

Seems the brains up in Massachusetts have done it again. MIT has taken an ordinary household object and transformed it into the coolest experimental toy on the planet. Case in point are Quickies, which are essentially Post-It Notes that feed the written information on them back to a computer. The computer then interprets the text or image drawn on the note and adds a digitized version to the proper location. So if you write down a TODO note, it’ll automatically get added to iCal, Google Calender, etc.

The above video does more justice than words can. You don’t even need audio, so view it when your boss is busy in the can.
