Boy, oh boy - just more and more robotic vacuums seem to be coming along. This latest one may not be as well made as the iRobot ConnectR, that also sports a camera to be able to record video and send footage over the internet. But alas, this Chinese version is already available, where ConnectR has been keeping us waiting or awhile now. The Intelligent Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Wireless IP Camera also cleans your house and you can control it to clean your home anywhere, anytime - remotely. You can drive it around like a toy to vacuum, or you can use it to talk to or record video of anyone in your home. It's also a great device to use to keep an eye on kids or even pets while you're at work or on vacation. The downside is the price…even for Chinavasion standards, the Intelligent

If you're someone who often carries around a little sewing kit with you, than you're gonna love this Portable Sewing Machine.

The machine comes with three needles, one threader, and one spindle, and it accepts standard spools of thread. Overall, we wouldn't recommend using this to try and enter Project Runway, but if you're someone who likes to be well equipped for anything when you're traveling

If you're looking for a new lamp for your room, how about going with something a bit trippy, and even moody.

Tech from a Small Island is a brand new monthly column from our new Chip Chick European Correspondent, Zara Rabinowicz.  Zara hails from the cold city that is London Town, but finds the horrible weather a great excuse to stay in and play on her XBOX.  She has been involved in the technology world for many years now, and finds that her day can be easily brightened by a (tastefully) diamante encrusted USB stick or a new Android device. She's an expert on all types of gadgetry, with a particular penchant for eReaders, compact cameras and PMP's. You can find her musing about non gadget related goodness on her blog www.AlmostZara.com or updating you on her dinner plans via her Twitter feed (follow her @AlmostZara). The USA may beat the Brits in terms of being the first to go hands on with Apple devices, but that doesn't mean we don't have a fair amount of exciting gadgetry up our sun deprived sleeves. January's always a funny month in terms of tech news, as people are still recovering from the deluge of 3D goodness and the latest supersized TV that has been shown at CES. There are still cool and quirky products making it onto the market however, and here's what has been making us tech savvy Brits excited this month.

I love my Sonicare toothbrush, but Panasonic's imported Sonic Pocket Toothbrush, may give me a little nudge to try something new.  This toothbrush is portable and colorful, yet it manages to vibrate at over 16,000 strokes a minute. As with most traditional motorized toothbrushes the bristles will not only clean your teeth but strengthen your gums. The Panasonic Sonic Pocket Toothbrush comes in five metallic hues with a slim color-matched case. This is ofcourse, perfect for traveling and slipping into your purse or briefcase.

If you really are a fanatic about Super Mario Brothers, then how about placing some pine boxes that resemble the Question Mark boxes from the game in your home? Each question box features an accompanying power or coin. It's too bad these don't actually work in real life, because I would hit my head into the question mark box till it bled if it actually did spit out coins.  The sizes of the

USB devices that also double as aromatherapy are nothing new but the USB Scent Flower differs because it is just too cute! Designed to look like a flower with petals each one has 3 refill cartridges and comes in 4 four different colors. each one also has its own scent - Ocean Breeze, Purple Lavender, Pink Jasmine, and White Chamomile. Each one retails for $9.99 and is certainly a lot cuter and economical than the Febreeze or Glade plugin.

Move over Roomba. Mint is here! It offers both dry and wet floor cleaning using special motions to systematically clean every square inch. Due to North Star navigation technology, it tracks where it has cleaned and even integrates information from 3 different positioning systems to map and plan how to return and pick up spots not covered on the first round. I'd be glad to relinquish my floor chores to this master Mint.

If you are unfamiliar with robot vacuums then let us fill you in. They are not like Rosie the Robot from the Jetsons, they do not have a personality, and they have not yet mastered the staircase. They are a robotic, saucer shaped motorized vacuum which can hover around the house vacuuming unattended. Neato Robotics has developed a robot vacuum cleaner that will certainly give the Roomba a bang for its buck. The Neato XV-11 all-floor vacuum system is armed with 360 degree laser vision which maps out your entire floor space and identifies and avoids most obstacles (rather than just bumping in to them). Neato Robotics has created a “smarter robot that thoroughly cleans an area in less time.” Neato uses the energy that saves from its more efficient cleaning route to greatly enhance its vacuuming power. Neato is less than four inches high making it ideal for cleaning under beds and couches.

I'm sure we all remember the famous commercial that features a senior citizen who fell down and shouting out that she has "fallen and can't get up!" We all laughed, snickered and mimicked that commercial but how many times does that happen in real life? Too many. I have had first hand experience with a family member who this happened too and its not funny. Wellcore System is a Mobile Personal Emergency Response System product for seniors that utilizes motion detection and advanced pattern recognition to determine if in fact a loved one has fallen.  The Wellcore system came to fruition because the people behind this device where concerned and wanted to keep in touch with loved ones and monitor their activity if they got hurt. The Wellcore system is so much more than just a monitoring system. Seniors can carry around with them a Wellcore Personal Activity Monitor and as long as they have a cellphone that is compatible

Well doesn't this look familiar? The i.wakeup Sunrise Clock from Oregon Scientific looks quite similar to the Philips Wake-Up light we reviewed sometime ago. The  i.wakeup Sunrise Clock also gently wakes you up in a soothing way to begin the day. Thirty minutes prior to the desired wake-up time, the i.wakeup Sunrise Clock gradually increases illumination with a 300-lux light to simulate a natural sunrise.  Users can enhance their morning ritual with a choice of five different nature sounds or their favorite FM radio station. I will say that the display on the the i.wakeup Sunrise Clock is certainly alot more impressive than the Philips version. The ...

The new Archerfish Solo is a home surveillance system that is more advanced than anything that has come before it. Lets face it, even with motion activation, you're bound to end up sorting through tons of empty footage. But Archer is super intelligent, you can specify it to look out for expected events, unanticipated intrusions, or just the odd things that can happen when you’re not around. When one of these things do happen, Solo notifies you with a video message sent to your cell phone or email.
