Former iPod engineer JP Labrosse now has his own company which has recently unveiled its first product. Called Stir Kinetic Desk, this thing has an adjustable height. Tap a touchscreen in the corner to activate the standing mode; tap again, and get it back to the sitting mode. It's the easy.
But that's not all. The Stir Kinetic Desk also comes with a feature called "Whisper Breath" that will alert you when it's time to get up and walk around a bit. You'll get a slight nudge as a reminder about that.
The desk comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to sing along your existing gear and special apps to track the number of calories you burn while sitting and standing.
The only problem is the price. At $ 3,890, the Stir Kinetic Desk isn't something everyone can afford. Most of us will rather have to wait for something similar, though not as fancy, coming from IKEA. ;(

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The “convergence” is what he’s most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it’s an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he’s there to try it out. He admits though, he’s still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which “sings” perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run Symbian Watch which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the sit e on a daily basis.
