January 7, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Sky Fi is a company which recycles old broken equipment. They spend time repairing, building, altering, engineering and even Frankensteining the equipment which then allows you to connect an iPod or similar device. As each product is recycled there are no two similar units available. The one pictured above can be purchased for $75 over at Etsy. The device pictured above uses the phono input to interface with your iPod or any other more modern signal. The sound quality is described as being transistor tubish from yesteryear.

January 6, 2008 by Leave a Comment
This gadget is a USB Edge mobile device which connects direct to your laptop’s USB port. It connects right to a EDGE/GPRS or GSM networks across the world due to it being quad band (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz). When using EDGE it can receive data at 236.8 kbps which is sufficient for an almost broadband type connection on the move.
All you need to make sure is that your network provider offer a good chunk of data as 236.8 kbps could burn a hole in your pocket if you are not careful.
The USB Edge with antenna costs $199.99.

Pen with 4GB Flash Drive
January 5, 2008 by Leave a Comment
A lot of people carry around pens with them. These days a lot of people also need to carry flash drives around with them. This ball point pen comes with a 4GB flash drive built in. Not only a 4GB flash drive is crammed in there though. It also has a laser pen in there too although it’s not as powerful as TechLasers 125mW green laser. It makes for the perfect geeky presentation device. All what is needed now is a mini projector in the end of the pen and you have a PowerPoint presentation right in your pocket.
The device costs $99 which isnt bad for a 3 in 1 device like this.

Wireless Earphones from Sennheiser
January 5, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Over at CES (which hasn’t officially started yet) there are some cool wireless earphones from Sennheiser. They are based on Kleer’s Wireless audio technology and deliver crystal clear CD quality sound. These particular earphones will connect directly to Kleer based products. The base unit pictured above acts as the charger.
A number of head or earphones use Bluetooth technology. These are different as they actually use wireless on the 2.4GHz band. They measure 20 x 34 x 30 mm each. The charging unit also contains a battery which allows the earphones to be charged at least twice while on the road.
The MXW1’s have no price yet, but no doubt more details will flood in when CES officially opens.

It stands 5.5 inches tall and is 4 inches wide. To keep it standing the clock sits on an acrylic stand.

If you are the paranoid sort who thinks everyone is watching you then a hidden camera detector is ideal for you. What this device does it helps you track down if someone has planted a wireless spy camera in your room. The unit is small enough to carry around and will warn you via a flashing LED light if a wireless camera is in range. You can also use the audible alarm too to warn you. The unit can detect frequencies from 50MHz to 3GHz and has some wizardry inside to help reduce false alarms.

Money Miser
January 4, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Money is here for quite a bit longer yet and therefore, we all need a money miser. Most of you will have a ton of loose change kicking around your pocket or in a shoebox somewhere in the house. What the Money Miser does is sorts out all your coins in to neat wraps. To get it working you just put some empty wraps in the bottom of the machine and chuck your coins in the top. The Money Miser then sorts through them to put everything in order nice and cleanly.
The Money Miser costs $14.95 for the machine it’s self, or $19.95 with a box full of money wraps.
