Wi SFOOT 300x240 Soft Football for the Wii is Perfect for Throwing TouchdownsLast year CrunchGear reported on Nintendo submitting a patent for a Wii football accessory – well it seems that CTA Digital beat them to the punch and has a new product that looks very similar to the sketches submitted. The Soft-Football for the Wii allows you to play Wii games like Madden, Backyard Football, and Blitz: The League etc…in a much more realistic way utilizing your Wii-Mote. The football has a squishy type feel similar to a Nerf football. Just snap the Wii-Mote into place and you’ll be throwing touchdowns like the New Orleans Saints in no time. Currently it doesn’t seem that it is for sale anywhere, but I’m sure it will be popping up soon somewhere.

screenshot 045 Target Makes it Easier to Find Pink Gadgets and AccessoriesWe’re not sure how long Target has been doing this for, but their site now lets you view MP3 players and accessories, or digital cameras and their accessories by color. So for example, are you looking for iPod speakers or iPod accessories in green, or silver, or red, or pink, or blue, or black, or orange? Instead of having to sift through the site for stuff that matches your favorite color, you can bring up all of the goodies that match the color you’re looking for with one click. Kudos, to Target to thinking out of the box. Now it’s just a matter of time for other online retailers to follow suit.

screenshot 033 300x206 Huffy Karaoke Cruiser Bicycle with MP3 SpeakerSo it’s officially Spring – so that means we can talk about bicycles again. The Huffy 26 inch Karaoke Cruiser Bicycle is the first bike we’ve seen to ship with a speaker system. In this case, the cruiser bike features the Huffy A.M.P Amplifier/speaker built into its removable handlebar bag. You can plug your iPod or any standard digital audio or CD player into this speaker, so that you can listen to tunes while you ride. The bike also features coaster brakes, a quick release seat and 12-gauge spokes. Granted, we do appreciate that the bike ships with a speaker, but the reality is that there are plenty of speakers out there that you can buy to add to your bike’s handlebars.

Native Union Moshi Moshi Collection Transforms Your iPhone into a Stylish Landline

March 20th, 2010

_DSC0041Native Union’s Moshi Moshi Collection has reinvented the concept of Bluetooth handsets, by getting back to the basics of communication. The folks behind Native Union understand that people are using their landlines less and less, and that cell phones are becoming our primary communication tools which we can use for hours on end each day. They set out to offer better, more comfortable and convenient solutions for talking on your cell phone. As opposed to the traditional Bluetooth headset that clips to your ear like you’re a telemarketer, these stylish handsets are designed to look like your landline phone so that you enjoy a more comfortable experience when you’re conversing. If the concept behind these handsets seem familiar, it’s because they are similar in concept to Yubz. However, according to the folks at Native Union, their products are aimed at being less gimmicky and rather higher end products.
