Kohjinsha SA1F00VKR/WKR Computer. It’s interesting to see the contrast between the brouhaha over the new Palm Foleo and the complete lack of interest in this new 7 inch handheld laptop/tablet combo from the Korean unknowns. And yet…this doozy features a 7 inch touchscreen, 512 MB of RAM and a 100 GB hard disk. It weighs 990g, operates for 4.5 hours on a charge and costs around $850.00 as opposed to the $599.00 of the Palm. If I had to choose a…

Holding your mouse to your ear may not be a great way to impress Ms Jenkins in marketing though. $33.90.  This versatile Skype mouse phone could be used as a high definition optical mouse,…

The Mickey Mouse USB Drive. Wikipedia definition – “Mickey Mouse” is a slang expression meaning small-time, amateurish or trivial.” Weird huh? Anyway let’s hope that this new product is not tainted.

The PodXtreme Sound Box for iPod is an add-on speaker that is supposed to generate a ‘powerful sound’ and ‘powerful bass boost’ out of your music player. The unit comes with an integrated rechargeable Lithium Ion battery juiced from a USB port or wall socket. So here’s the question. How much loud do you think $29.95 will buy really?  The secrect resonation provides the podXtreme with such a powerful bass boost that you’re going to need to pimp out your iPod or MP3 player. Operating…

The TransDock Deluxe actually looks like it could be a useful iPod peripheral, rather than the usual cobbled together ‘white craze’ rubbish. It’s basically a car dock with a separate clip-on remote control for your steering wheel to get that safer ‘factory fitted’ feel. There’s also a video out socket to let you send your iPod content to a headrest LCD screen and an FM transmitter in there somewhere. Neat. $129.99.  Experience the ultimate in iPod enjoyment on the road with the new…

Frankly we’re waiting until they incorporate an alarm clock, MP3 player and Skype phone into one of these puppies. Then we’ll be talking convergence, right? Tags: usb+flash+disk, LED, laser

The Krick U-Boat Style R/C Submarine. We’re talking 44 inches long here, so 1:60 scale, with a four channel radio controller, a ‘Drive and Dive’ set so you can sink and swim the thing, and a little hook and line to drag it up when it all goes pear shaped at -10,000 feet. Or something. Around $789.00 all in.  Molded ABS structure with some polystyrene parts is highly detailed and you can assemble it into an accurate scale display model….

The Patio Grill Smoker Barbecue is a beast of a cooking utensil, no doubt. We’re talking a man sized, multi-shelved charcoal grill which can simultaneously cook several small animals while managing to display temperatures and answer the door too. OK, the last bit is a lie. Caught. $499.95.  The six porcelain grill grates are removable, allowing you to hang large primal cuts vertically from the meat hook on the grill smoker’s ceiling. An exterior temperature gauge gives precise grill temperature…

The Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro is not a new fruit flavoured macrobiotic drink, but is instead a plug-in USB dongle which is set up to protect your laptop from all those nasty people out there trying to do you in.
