The iProjector from Ion Audio is an iPod dock with an inbuilt video projector so you can show off all your lovely vacation footage as the mood takes you. Or whatever. We predict a bit of a battle over the name, come January, when the product gets its first airing at the CES show. But what do we know?  The iProjector is a unique video projector that lets you view video and pictures from your iPod, DVD player or computer….

Password Puppies. Billed as the first ever voice activated virtual pet. That’s right, you raise, train and love ‘em by using your voice.

The Radio Controlled Air Kite is a weird looking contraption all right, and a strange concept in general. Why bother with motorizing a kite? Or floating an R/C plane? Does it make sense to you? Doesn’t to us. Anyway you’ll be able to find out this and other astounding facts if you plunk down $99.95 to buy one.

The Brunton SolarPort 4.4 solar charger is kind of cute and chunky all in one. The fact that you can link up three of the things in a row for more power output is a nice touch, as is the fact that it comes with a free AA/AAA battery charger pod. 4.4 watts out means that you don’t really want to try powering that beast of an Alienware gaming laptop, but it should do for most pocket sized devices. $119.00.  The innovative…

The Therapik Sting Relief Tool apparently provides temporary relief from the pain of an insect bite or sting by delivering a shot of heat to the area. Hmm…so we’re wondering whether the pain relief is actually more of a pain replacement feature. Heat vs sting. Anyway, the instructions tell you not to use the device on a scorpion, snake or spider bite, which is kind of upsetting, because we were definitely going to carry it around with us on the bus for just such an emergency. To…

The QuikPod is one of those simple gidgets that make you go, oh yeah! The inventor keeps calling it a tripod, while of course it’s an extendable mono-pod, but we won’t quibble. The main function of it is to let you take photos or videos of yourself, by yourself. No more risking your camera with strangers in front of the Taj Mahal or perching your digicam precariously on the ledge of a mountain. The only slight problem is that all your vacation…

The LEGO Mindstorms NXT Robot Kit. Kind of like an iPod on legs, isn’t it? Anyway enough of the banter, this is probably state of the art as far as toys go right now. 32–bit microprocessor, LCD display and motion sensors. Not yer grandad’s LEGO set, this, although it is, of course, every kid hacker’s delight. Not so much a robot, more a mechanistic, multi-dimensional robotic lifeform. Has anyone informed SkyNet yet? [Thanks Audris]. £179.95. At the heart of this ingenious new concept is the NXT…
