Free Video Converter – freeware offers cool photo, video and audio conversion
Free Video Converter is a free media conversion program which combines a great looking user interface with some seriously powerful functionality. There’s no shortage of video converters out there, which offer to transform video into different format for different devices and uses, but this is the first we’ve seen which also offers image slide show, and audio conversion on the fly within the same interface. The photo slideshow creator on its own would be worth the money, but throw in…

Read MoreCulinary Heat Lamp keeps food warm like the pros
I’m no chef, but I do try my hand at cooking once in a while. Something I’ve yet to master is the timing of it all. Either one dish will get finished well before the others, or somehow it takes twice as long to make than I intended. The worst is when I get finished, and the person eating with me is nowhere to be found. Then I somehow have to keep the meal warm until they get here. If…

Wordmark.it – The free font selecting web app
I’m no graphic designer, so I don’t often find myself looking for a font to use. Of course when I do need to whip something together in Photoshop, I hate sifting through fonts. Usually I just pick Comic Sans and go about my business (I kid, I kid). Seriously though, there needs to be a better way to go through the fonts I’ve already got than highlighting some text and scrolling through each one. Actually, that’s exactly why Wordmark.it was…

Windoro does windows, because you don’t
I don�t know about you all out there, but when there are fancy new cleaning gadgets, I freak out just a little bit. Our lives are busy enough at our jobs, we don�t need to come home and worry about this and that that needs to be done too right?� When things are clean, it�s a lot easier to be in a good mood, but the task of cleaning is arduous and annoying. Products like the new Windoro helps cut…

ION Audio brings ThinkGeek’s iCade gag product to life
ThinkGeek probably thought it was just hilarious when they started to make April fools day joke-products and consumers ate it up. Their most recent endeavor in joke-to-product is the iCade. This gadget is exactly what it sounds like; an arcade cabinet for your iPad. Thus far the only game you can play on it is Asteroids, but they�re going to make more games accessible to this device in the near future. All you�ll need the iCade app, and you�ll be…

Dynamic Credit Card is several cards in one
When you open your wallet, you tend to find that most, if not all of the slots are overwhelmed by credit/debit cards. Ones you use, ones you don�t use, and ones that you don�t remember getting at all. Then you think that if there were only a way to have one mega card, you wouldn�t have to buy a new wallet every year or so from too many cards stuffed in it. What would you do if you discovered that…

Read MorePeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop – the kids laptop with grown up cool
This PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop has a better spec than my machine. Well OK, maybe not that good, but still pretty cool for a toddler box. We’re talking netbook type innards, with an Atom 1.66GHz processor, auto tablet switching from clamshell mode, 160GB hard disk, and memory card reader. It also sports a water resistant keyboard (for those ucky spills) WiFi, Bluetooth, webcam, Windows 7 Starter and a 10.1 inch touchscreen. Oh and did we mention it’s ruggedized up to a 50cm drop test…

This Universal Cell Phone Bike Mount Charger uses a dynamo wheel attachment to keep your mobile phone nicely charged up as you…ahem…charge around the countryside. The mount is universal, so it should fit just about any phone you can think of, and the dynamo kit takes a mere 10 minutes to fit to front or rear wheel. It sounds like a great way to keep your phone powered up as you run the satnav, which has got to be useful…
Read MoreJewelBeat – free music and sound effects for your projects
JewelBeat offers free music and sound effects for your projects. You can use the audio for everything from a presentation to your YouTube video, no fee no charge. I suspect the ‘free’ bit is a launch marketing exercise until they’ve built up enough users, so if you’re interested I suggest you grab some stuff now before they start charging. Oh and they would like a link back to their site in exchange for the tracks. Use these free music tracks…

If you use Skype for video chatting on a PC, then you may want to consider grabbing the latest version. Why? Well, in addition to some minor tweaks to improve video quality and stability, they have added in a long-awaited feature. That’s right, group video calling is now live (it has been in beta for a little while now). Unfortunately this new feature isn’t a freebie.
