I was browsing the other day on PCWorld and came across a list of cool Asian gadgets that are only available in Asia.

PCWorld claims:

It’s true: The coolest gadgets often debut overseas–usually in Asia. Some are cell phones that double as music players or TVs. Others are supersmall yet powerful notebooks or handheld PCs. And some are just weird, like the world’s most disturbing piggy bank.

One of my favorite is the Toshiba ApriPoko Robot; it supposedly picks up and stores the IR signals that was seen on the conventional remote. So in the future, the owner could save time looking up for the remote and just talk to the AprilPoko and have it mimic the same IR code to the TV.
