So you are driving to an unknown destination, you are relying on your GPS to take you there safe and sound. But alas it doesn't, instead it takes you 30 minutes out of the way just to make a u-turn. However if I had this latest TomTom White Pearl (based on the TomTom ONE IQ Routes™ edition) Special Edition I certainly would be more at ease because it is so pretty - NOT!! It certainly helps to have an attractive looking device and being that this is a female orientated blog we do appreciate the effor - but really? I just had an experience with a TomTom GPS that ...

Belkin has two new TuneBase products that are designed so that you can make phone calls on your iPhone hands-free in the car, while still using it to play music through your car's stereo system.

Inspired by a Forbes magazine article about surplus Boeing 727 airframes.This two bedroom Boeing 727 fuselage suite was refurbished from a vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airplane. The airframe was salvaged and rescued and converted in to this jumbo hotel suite and indeed pimped out with hand carved furniture, a spiral stair case, flat screen TVs, private bath, and air conditioning. From the cockpit to the tail, you'll feel the essence of being in a plane but will not have to deal with any type of turbulence or lack of clean blankets.

This is certainly not a bike I would suggest riding in front of a Panda, since the Bamboo Bike consists of a frame made entirely of Bamboo.

Each one is meticulously made - the bamboo is heated and coated with polyurethane to seal it, hemp fiber is made for the lugs, and each one is crash tolerant. Being trendy and green however always comes at a price, which can ...

This is probably something Batman would ride. The Xcite Bike is the most unique looking ATV we have ever seen.

The Xcite Bike can top out at 30MPH or go to speeds as low as 2MPH. Some specs include a tuned aluminum exhaust with stainless steel frame, 10" aluminum wheels, and hand control for easy maneuverability. It's available in the colors: white, yellow, blue, red, and black. The Xcite Bike of course doesn't come cheap ...

Some GPS systems are sooo complicated, that even the hardest core geeks have a difficult time learning them. So what is a non-geek to do if they want to use a GPS nav system?

There are many GPS tracker systems available for automobiles, but the LiveWire NavGenius Covert GPS Tracker is the sneakiest one ever to be made. NavGenius has been incorporated in to a standard looking in-car nav system, and it does indeed work like any ordinary GPS Nav system works - such as a TomTom or a Garmin. But aside from giving the driver directions, the NavGenius also has a double identity monitoring a driver's every move. The system even comes with 2 separate manuals - one for operating the navigation system and one for the Covert GPS tracking system. Furthermore, the NavGenius can even be remotely monitored from the internet using an online mapping system - so that you can see where they really went, not where they say they went! E-mail and SMS text messages can also be set-up to alert neurotic users of a driver speeding or of a driver going in to a "restricted" zone. Other cool features include the ability to push directions to the system remotely from a PC, so the driver can never say they don't know where to go or are lost. The Lightning GPS "NavGenius" will be available in mid-April and will be available to purchase at BrickHouse Security.

Sometimes something comes around that isn't necessarily techie but is still pretty damn cool, that you just have to write about it.  No this is not some latest addition to the Hello Kitty line... it's an Albino dolphin that is the color pink. This extremely rare dolphin was found around Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico by a boat captain.  The dolphin is indeed pink from head to tail with reddish eyes.  He had been seen at least 50 times in the same areas since originally spotted. It is truly a site to behold.

Well I guess this is what a child of a bicycle and a scooter would look like, if the two got together. The Pumgo Scooter is from the same creators who brought you the Pumgo Skateboard. Spotted at Toy fair this past Sunday, it was an interesting sight to behold. It seemed so obvious - why didn't someone come up with this before? On the other hand after seeing it in action for a few moments longer, it sure looked like the rider missed having a seat. Anyway, the Pumgo is perfect for those who are looking for something that acts like a bike but isn't the size of ...

Their new Hybrid PA Bag however has all the advantages of Live Luggage's power assistance and anti-gravity handle, but this one has a soft top  and has been designed specifically to be especially lightweight - not to mention that it's also more attractive in a sporty-looking ...
