keyboardpc All in One PC Packed Inside a KeyboardProbably the ugliest looking keyboard I’ve every seen and what looks like it could be a shell from an old Commodore 64 keyboard back in the day, this “All in One PC” or what better known as the ZPC-GX31 from Cybernet, stuffs all the guts of a computer into a keyboard chasis. The computer sports an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, 4MB of DDR2/667Mhz RAM, 1GB LAN and DVI interface, 4 USB ports, Audio Inputs/Outputs, Ethernet Jack, PS/2 inputs, optical drive CDRW-DVD or DVD+/-RW, Intel Graphics Card, a Serial ATA HD, and several fans to keep the unit cool. You can customize your keyboard with options that could range anywhere from $699.00 to $1099.

Ice Rage Pocket Mouse is Fashionablly Neon

March 24th, 2008

coloredmiceinice Ice Rage Pocket Mouse is Fashionablly Neon At first glance I didn’t know what this was, was it a digital camera? A battery charger? An electric shaver? I was surprised to discover that it’s actually a mouse, the Pocket mouse from Ice Rage to be exact. Sleek and sort of stylish, this three button mouse with an ultra-sensitive touch sensor works on both PC and Mac. There is even a Auto Retractor for the USB cable to avoid long wires… almost like one of those doggy leashes. The mouse is available in a big selection of colors including Blue, Hot Pink, Neon Green, Silver, White, and Black. We love the color choices but this mouse is not for someone who is looking for something ergonomic. However this mouse is certainly aimed to be the talk of any meeting or long plane ride.

macknecklace Say You Love Her with Recycled Mac JewerlyWhat have some people done with all those old keyboards from Mac since the newer slim aluminum keyboards came out, use them for jewelry of course!

Vye Mini-V S37 UMPC Packs in a 250GB Hard Drive

March 23rd, 2008

vyepc Vye Mini V S37 UMPC Packs in a 250GB Hard DriveWe’re not sure why we’ve never heard of Vye Computer UMPC, the Mini-v S37. Weighing just a bit over 2 pounds and doubling as a tablet with a 7″ screen, it reminds us a heck a lot of the LifeBook U810 UMPC. However, despite its similar 800 mhz processor, screen size and similar form factor and looks, the Vye Mini-v S37 out does many the Fujitsu u810 and many other UMPC in one specific area – hard drive capacity. The S37 is available with a 120GB or 250GB hard drive, which is quite unusual for such a small little fella. You can also get one with a 32GB SSD drive, a DVD burner and up to 2GB of ram. The Vie Mini-V model B can found for as low as $1,249.00, preloaded with Vista, which isn’t totally unreasonable.

paulfrankipodtouch Paul Frank Rubber Cases for iPhone and iPod TouchWe haven’t had any exciting iPhone/iPod cases to report about lately but luckily that has changed.

The other case is for the iPhone and is an image of a “Slap Bass”, also on the back of the case. Both cases look pretty hip and certainly would give your iPhone/iPod Touch a cool factor. Not that they needed more of one. Both cases retail for $29.95

taaz Taaz Lets You Try Out New HairStyles & Makeup VirtuallyWe can’t remember the name of it, but years ago there was some cutting edge makeover software for the time, which lets you take your photo and try out different hairstyles and makeup colors on yourself – without actually having to really try it yourself. Now a new web-based service is doing just that, for free. Taaz lets you upload your photo and then try out different hairstyles as well as different makeup combinations for your skin, eyes, and mouth. Afterwards you can print out the experiment or share it with your friends. But the coolest part about printing it out is that Taaz will supply you with a detailed shopping list of what you just applied to your virtual face, so that you can go out and buy the products on your own.

bookendz Bookendz Docking Station for MacbooksDocking stations for laptops have been around for quite sometime. The premise behind them is simple – plug in all your peripherals in to the dock (your printer, scanner, speakers, mouse, etc) and then plug in your laptop. Thus, you’re saved the hassle of having to unplug and replug in all your peripherals each time you put your laptop down on your desk. While there are many docking stations available for PC laptops, Macbook and Macbook Pro owners have been pretty much left out. Luckily BookEndz has come out with a white and a black version for the Macbook as well as versions for the Macbook Pro.

Kensington’s Contour Balance Notebook Case Review

contour Kensingtons Contour Balance Notebook Case ReviewOne of the downsides of having a laptop is having to lug it around with you. Even if your laptop is only 5lbs, after awhile it begins to feel like it’s 50lbs and seemingly every part of your body starts to hurt. Not fun. Kensington, well known for computer accessories and peripherals, has launched a new line of Contour Balance notebook bags just for women. These bags both stylish and comfortable, so comfortable in fact, that they are endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association for maximizing comfort while minimizing muscle strain. Available with or without roller wheels, and also as a backpack, they retail from $69.99 to $119.99. True, a bit on the spendy side; but for the sturdy nature of the materials, I think it’s money well worth spending.

The USB lamp seems to have been taken right out of the 50’s or 60’s with that traditional charm and can be purchased for £6.99 from Red Save.

Portable Oxygen Bar for Those Who Need a Boost When On the Go

By Ali

March 17th, 2008

portableoxygenbar Portable Oxygen Bar for Those Who Need a Boost When On the GoI could have used this when I went to CES this past year. The portable Oxygen Bar from O2-B. For $729.00 you can have your own Oxygen Bar for you to enjoy, or charge others for when they come over to hang out. It comes with a 10, 20, and 30 minute timer, headset and 5 nose hoses, 12 mouthpiece filters and a free additional intake filter. As wonderful as this all sounds, it’s a little scary at the prospect of those taking shots of Oxygen willy nilly and not under some kind of supervision… Oxygen at your own risk.

itouchlessbrush Give Your Ordinary Toothbrush an Upgrade with the Shake A Brush Electric AdapterThe Shake-A-Brush Electric Toothbrush Power Adapter will turn any regular toothbrush into a motorized one. Insert the toothbrush into the adapter and it will start to vibrate. I don’t understand how they think this even compares to lets say a Sonic Care Toothbrush. The bristles still won’t move and all it will do is give you a serious case of vibration sensations in your hand. Personally, for $39.99 I would use that money towards the real deal instead of this wannabe.
