The new SCOUT WiFi Robot looks like it was put together in an hour by a Lego enthusiast, doesn’t it? All gangly and knobbly and thoroughly unlike the sleek white Japanese alternatives. But I’m sure in terms of functionality, if not price, it’s a match for any Tokyo Ro. Especially with those two gripping arms and cameras. $8050.00.  An improvement provided with the current model SCOUT is a wrist-mounted camera that greatly facilitates remote manipulation of objects. Optionally, you can choose to…

The iPulse Bear Speaker and Lightshow for iPod and MP3. Oodles of cuddle factor and some groovy features too, like a set of multi-coloured LED lights which pulse in tune to the music coming out of the internal speakers. Compatible with all music players with a headphone out jack. Also can be used for audio books, although a light show during a recitation of Alice in Wonderland might be a bit OTT.  Friendly iPulse Bear for playing iPod tunes or listening to stories from audio…

The TV Volume Regulator is designed to maintain a stable volume level on your box, no matter what’s happening on screen. Commercial breaks, huge, explosions, loud politicians, you know the kind of thing. Actually someone once explained that it’s not actually a rise in volume, but a change in the type of audio signal which made adverts seem louder. Anyhoo, this gizmo is supposed to cure it, whatever the cause. $49.95.  The TV Volume Regulator keeps your TV at a…

The Hello Kitty DC500 5.0 Megapixel Digital Camera. You really know the state of play of a technology when it gets Kitty-ized. I think we can safely say that the 5.0 megapixel digicam is now a commodity level product. Kelloggs boxes next. With 32 MB memory and an SD card slot tucked in there somewhere. And of course it’s kind of pink […is that like ‘kind of’ pregnant? – Ed]

The Bio Trainer monitors your activity all day and calculates how many calories you’ve burned over a 10 day period.

In other words can the darn thing be hacked? $49.99.  Whether you’re trying to get into shape or just lose a few pounds, it’s important to know how many calories you’re burning not just when you’re exercising, but throughout your daily…

The Special Edition 914 PC-BOT Robot. $4995.00 buys you a PC on wheels. With a webcam. So, if you want your processing to be auto-mobile this is your baby.

In short it’s a PC that moves,…

The Ecopod E-1 Home Recycler. Designed by BMW and basically just a fancy looking can crusher with a couple of extra compartments for other stuff. I’m an avid recycling muppet, but this is a little too ‘slick’ for my liking. Especially at $328.00. [This £9.95 Can Crusher might be a bit of a better idea, doncha think?]  Designed by BMW Designworks, the ecopod will clean up the way you recycle with its eco-chic design and functionality. After dropping an aluminum can…

The Vincent Audio Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier is a hybrid headphone amp, combining the ‘power and control’ of solid state electronics with the ‘warmth’ of  the twin vacuum tubes. Do we believe this? Dare we argue? Do we have to invest in a new brushed Titanium alloy and gold tipped headset, or can we stick with our tatty old Sony Walkman earpads? These questions and more will cost you $799.95 to answer.  The precise, stabilized proprietary power supply delivers the purest sound…
