If you don’t mind your Star Wars memorabilia with a healthy dose of cutesy, kitschy appeal, then you’ll most likely appreciate the Han Solo Carbonite USB Drive. I mean, you can store your data, and remember how Han Solo was frozen in agony in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back.
If you’re interested in a truly unique alarm clock, then you might just have to consider the Moshi IVR Alarm Clock. This thing features TimeSet technology, which lets you set the time just by talking to the clock. Pretty cool, huh?
Everyday a new digital picture frame is released. Some are better than others, no doubt, but not all of them try to pack a printer into them. Keian Japan is doing just that with their P71-A2-JP digital photo frame, which features an integrated printer.
This 7-inch digital photo frame has a 480 x 234 resolution. It also supports MS and SD, including SDHC up to 32GB. It can play MP3 audio files to go along with your photo presentations and has a USB host for added convenience. But the really interesting part about this digital frame is that is has a printer built in. It saves photos from a memory card once they are selected from the viewing screen.
Okay, so we told you about a Target gift card yesterday that doubles as a digital camera. And it was pretty cool. You could take a picture of the recipient when they receive it and it’s a pretty cute idea. But now Best Buy is offering up a gift card that doubles as a speaker!
I think just about everyone has given or received a Target gift card at some point. That being said, half of the fun has always been finding a unique gift card to give to your friends and family. The company does offer a wide variety, already. But now they’re spicing up the selection even more with a gift card that is a digital camera, too.
Saving power is not just a great thing to do for the environment. It can also save you a substantial amount of money. Take, for instance the TrickleStar PC Standby Power Saver. This USB device can help you save cash and put an end to unnecessary power waste.
This USB Gadget will only be available in Hong Kong, but it seems like a really good idea. You connect the device to your computer by means of the USB port. Then, the gadget will monitor your computer’s power usage. All you have to do then is plug in an extension cord from the power strip where all of the computer’s peripherals are plugged in.
If you are into all things with a James Bond feel, then you’ll love the SpyPen from Marlin. Not only does it capture the super spy attitude from the Bond movies of yore–it also is pretty high tech. I mean, it looks like a pen, but it sports a digital recorder inside.
I’m sure many people wanted toy train sets when they were a kid. But one that you can actually ride in? Well, that sort of luxury was reserved for Ricky Schroeder on Silver Spoons. Oh yeah. I made a Silver Spoons reference.
Now this is cool! The Bullet is a small little gadget that doesn’t look like much of anything but really packs in the functionality with WiFi connectivity. The Bullet can be plugged into just about any antenna. Once plugged in, it can turn that radio signal into a 802.11abg WiFi connection. That equates to 1000mW of power. You definitely can’t get that sort of power from a standard WiFi hotspot.
I don’t have a dog, which is probably a good thing as I bore terribly easily and playing with it all the time would soon lose its charm. FetchBot might be one way of alleviating said-boredom (both for me and the pooch): built from the guts of an old AGFA scanner, it fires tennis balls for your dog to catch while sparing your delicate arms.
Check out the video demo of the FetchBot after the cut
