Pet Camera


This gadget is something rather different, whether or not it is something worth investing in is up to the reader. This is a camera that captures all images from the point of view of your favorite household pet, especially the cats and dogs in one's life. The camera is light weight and can easily be clipped onto the color. Though I do believe this is something that the animal will not enjoy having around its neck, and would be a rather waste of film. But then again to each their own. If you love your pet, this is a great gift to get. After all everyone needs a camera nowadays.

Radio Controlled Tarantula


This radio controlled tarantula makes me think this would have been a great toy for the kid on Home Alone. Regardless, this is a great gift to give to little boys who would enjoy nothing more than to scary their sister or mom. Besides, if you know someone who is big on spiders or just enjoys bugs in general this would be a great gift.

Self Stirring Mug


Talk about a great product for those that are just that lazy. With the simple push of a button the self stirring mug will stir together that cream, sugar, and any other additions you put into your coffee or any other drink. I suppose if you don't want to dirty a spoon or create additional litter by using a straw, this would be a great product.

Sun Jar


Much as the name states this little jar captures the sun and is illuminated much like a candle during the night. With a solar powered rechargeable battery inside the frosted jar, this product not only is eco-friendly but provides a nigh ambiance to any room, and has the technology to automatically switch on when dark and will last up to five hours.

Voice Recognition Grocery List Organizer


This idea is great in theory. But when it boils down to it, its rather pointless. I love voice recognition devices (cell phones, cars, alarm clocks, etc.) but a grocery list organizer? Is this necessary? Basically you tell the device the things you want to get at the grocery store and it adds it to a list and prints it out for you. I suppose if your hands are full this would make things easier and would be nice to have. But with a price tag of over $150, I think I'll just stick to pen and paper.

TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup


Ever want to airbrush yourself? Me either. But luckily Sephora (a well known makeup company) has disregarded your un-wanting of airbrushing and has released a great device that will allow you do get flawless skin right from home. It's a light weight air compressor that makes it easy to disperse a light air of makeup on your skin. I would think this would be difficult to use on yourself. More than likely you would need the assistance of another person. If you think about it, models, and movie stars have someone else do this stuff for them with this kind of device. And the price tag is only $225...what a steal..........

Apple Ipod 2 GB Shuffle


Yes, Ipods are great, but don't waste money on a shuffle. If you want the luxury of an MP3 player but don't want to pay that extra for the traditional Ipods such as the Nano's, or Touches, then splurge on a regular MP3 player. You don't need an Ipod. Yes, ITunes is nice. But quite frankly, the way I see it--if you don't want the great looking display, or the great additions that come with the Ipod Touch such as touch screen, wi-fi, and games to download then no point in getting a Shuffle. Shuffles are boring, and are limited to what they can do. Essentially you would just be paying for the Ipod name at the point of purchase.

Dyson Table Fan


This is where new-age technology has gotten us. Introducing the fan with no blades. This little device draws in air and amplifies it up to 15 times for a smooth blast of air. This is a rather unique device, and seems pretty cool. My question though is, is it worth purchasing offer a standard fan? To the extent that you are willing to fork over the $300 asking price , at times which can be $400 according to retail value? From a personal perspective I would just deal with the blades for that kind of pricing.

Ipod Dock and TP Holder


This is by far the most ingenious product I have come across. An Ipod dock that doubles as a toilet paper holder!! For those individuals that take awhile in the restroom you will particularly enjoy this product. Now with the option to listen to music, you can take as long as you want sitting on the can. It plugs right into an outlet so you can listen to your jams for hours!

Moshi Voice Activated Digital Clock


This is beyond cool. It's amazing and incredible. It's a voice activated alarm clock. Basically there are 12 different commands that it responds to. You begin by saying "Hello Moshi" and it responds with, "Command Please" and if everything goes according to plan, the alarm clock will set the time, set the alarm, etc based off whatever command you provide. Pretty smart.

Droid Series


As you may or may not known Verizon Wireless is giving AT&T a run for their money with their new smart phone line up. Though, the Iphone is still a very descent phone and a very tough competitor, the new Driod series released, has some pretty cool and neat features that the Iphone lacks.
When the first Droid came out, it was rather exciting. The screen is very large, and it also provided the convenience of the slide out keyboard, which I thought was great. Being the accident prone person that I was, I figured if I somehow managed to damage the touch screen, I would still be able to do most things with the phone by utilizing the physical keyboard. In addition, the Android market (which is where apps are downloaded) has thousands of selections to chose from. Unlike Apple's market, the Droid market is essentially a "fair-game" location where developers can upload their applications created. With Apple, they regulate what apps are allowed. The nice thing with this fair game mentality, is that if there is a problem with the app, the developer provides their contact information when it is downloaded, so you may be able to contact them directly with issues. Now with any touch screen phone, the battery life isn't the greatest, especially if you are going to be doing a lot of web-surfing. But overall the Droid series is a very good phone, and it is believed that AT&T should perhaps consider coming up with some other phones to add to their line up.
