These USB keys look very funny. They were discovered on a Japanese website and for the moment are available in Japan. The USB brick has 1GB of storage and costs £20 (4,280 Yens). They come in five color choices and have the official Lego bricks size. Thus your kid might be interested to use one in his Lego game. Perhaps you would love to play too…
The Okids Phone concept has been created by Nam Sung-kyu and published on the website Idealist. I find the idea quite intriguing. The author proposes a phone for 5-6 years old kids. Perhaps you too think about supervising your children all the time. So this solution might be a great one.
The Okids mobile won’t do too much. It would have some dedicated buttons for speed dialing - father, mother and emergency. The interesting fact is the phone can twist and transform into a heart. Also the heart becomes a Tetris game. Brilliant! It could be very successful!

This gadget perfectly fits in any traveler’s pocket. The Belkin Mini Surge Protector features three power outlets and two USB slots for charging compatible devices. At the same time, the gadget offers surge protection for plugged in electronics. The protection is backed by a $75,000 warranty from Belkin. The Surge Protector has a green LED that shows when it is in use.
For the moment the Belkin Mini Surge Protector can be pre-ordered online. It was priced for less than $25. However, Belkin said the product will hit the market by the end of April.

If you’ve been thinking what tennis racquets famous people are using the answer is we don’t know anymore. Why? Because I’ve just heard Armani managed to convince Babolat, a leading manufacturer of tennis products, to build the Emporio Armani (EA7) tennis racquet. It’s the first time Babolat enters the world of sport fashion, but it’s going to pay off I’m sure.
Using the experience Babolat has with tennis racquets high quality lightweight materials and an aerodynamic structure the EA7 is not only a high performance tennis racquet but also a very beautiful one. It provides power with each stroke, a better penetration through the air, maneuverability and is good for both experienced or uninitiated players.
Here are a few specs of the new Babolat EA7:
I expect everyone to buy it if they want to be “somebody” on the tennis field. Too bad we don’t have a price yet.
If you are the green lazy guy that needs an automower Husqvarna has the best gadget for you. It’s a solar powered automower that will do munch grass while you’re at work or relax with a bag of chips in front of the TV. It’s smart enough to program it, has sensors to “work” in a given perimeter and is able to do up to 2,300 square meters.
It uses chargeable batteries that runs for 40 minutes and on a sunny day it goes up to 60 minutes thanks to the solar panels it has. The price is steep. About $4,000 and is only for green wealthy bastards.

For a gamer, having gadgets related to his passion is very important. This is why I think you should take a look at “The Slacker” chair which was designed by Frederik Olsson and exhibited at the 2008 Stockholm Furniture Fair.
It was inspired from video games, looks very simple but comfortable and except the sculptured the solid wood arms it’s very minimalist. Now that I mentioned the arms, you may want to be ironic to your fellow gamers/friends and ask them to seat for a few minutes before you start the fight. It says GAME OVER … so they’ll get the point

Nobody plans on getting into a car accident. It’s just one of those things that happen. When it does happen everyone involved will likely have a lot of opinions on the matter. The goal is to determine the exact cause of an accident, based on the best information available.
Having a driving event data recorder like this GlobalTransportTech DRS-1100 installed in your car would provide you with an exact record of the events surrounding an accident from your perspective for review on custom software which integrates Google Maps.
The DRS-1100 is also a great tool for recording your driving experiences, driving habits, & any other incidents ahead of you while driving.
Here are the specs
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an independent U.S. Federal agency, supports Vehicle Recording Systems so you may want to consider buying one.
What was the first thing that came into your mind when you read multi-touch in the title? You’re probably like me and you probably thought of the human-computer interaction where one uses force and the other one recognizes it, but to my surprise MultiTouch is also a personal skills trainer that uses multiple repetitions to develop your soccer abilities.
So what does it do exactly? The ball is connected to a cord that you use on your waist and every time you kick it, the ball comes back. That’s a self training ball and it was designed for either beginners or advanced players to improve reaction, first touch or left-right coordination and balance. It can even suit goalkeepers to improve their reaction times and catching. Here’s a video of it:
From what I can think of this is also a great trainer for those players that have been injured and can’t train harder or it could be used when the weather won’t allow a team-training. The price for Size 2, 3 and 4 balls are $11.95, $21.95 and $21.95, but they seem to offer bulk deals so if you’re a coach or run a soccer club you may want to contact MultiTouch.
Where I live the summers are really hot and I’m talking like 105 Fahrenheit (40+ Celsius) or sometimes even higher, therefore an air conditioning system is very much needed. Since I plan to install one at the office I had to look around and I found out that Samsung is selling some interesting bacteria killing air conditioners that use Micro Plasma Ion (MPI) technology.
Vivace Shadow Mirror
Developed by Samsung, the MPI technology claims to be able to kill up to 78 percent fungus and 58 percent bacteria in only 30 minutes. Along with the MPI technology the new air conditioners also use a carbon deodorizer that removes bad smell, a Silver Nano evaporator and a Catechin filter made of green tea (?) extract.
There will be two versions. One Samsung Vivace Shadow Mirror which is already selling in Singapore with a condenser but no installation for S$799 to S$899 ($572 to $643) while the other is Samsung Neo-Forte that will be unveiled in April and is cheaper.

Not quite a gadget but I’m sure for many of us it would be an option just as good. Here we have an Idaho snowboarder that invented the record breaking two-people board. I’m not sure it the guys from JackAss tried or did it but it’s still a good concept if the slopes aren’t too steep.
I like skiing rather than boarding and that is because I can’t balance well with my legs stuck into the binders but I think I’d do good on the two-man snowboard. Oh and funny thing, there seems to be a three-man board, too? Crazy!
