Released last month at a number of UK record shops, Yamaha is hoping to capture the imagination of DJs and producers, as well as those inexperienced in making music.

Conceived by leading Japanese media artist Toshio Iwai in 2001 and following five years of intensive development, the Tenori-On has been showcased at major music festivals and media art festivals including Barcelona’s Sonar and Futuresonic in the UK.

Yamaha states: “One remarkable effect of this sound and light synergy is that people seem to quickly understand the relationship between the sounds and switches such that even non musicians can enjoy improvising and even composing almost immediately.”

Tenori-On is being deck-tested by a number of high-profile electronic music artists including Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Matthew Herbert, Mouse On Mars and Cornelius.

Now you can print photos from your phone with this cool inkless compact printer that uses plastic paper with thermal properties. These thermal properties react to different temperatures and deliver great quality.

The printer is compact and can attach to any handheld device. To create the perfect colors, the printer uses a method that controls the colors by using temperature. The crystals in the top yellow layer need the highest temperature and shortest time to melt, the magenta (which is the middle layer) needs a lower temperature and longer time, the bottom cyan layer requires the lowest temperatures and longest exposure time.

The printed images look great and are water proof. This gadget is expected to be available late 2007 for about $200. For more info check out: www.zink.com/experience/products/z-printer/
