Hot Gadgets


Do you ever find yourself with a couple of hours to kill before you have to head to the airport? Or maybe you travel a lot and aren't familiar with the surrounding area. As many people do you have your laptop and need to get some work done. Whether you're traveling or killing time it's always nice to find a place with WiFi so you can connect to check those emails or catch up on a project.

Now you can easily detect the nearest place to sit down and boot up your laptop with the WiFi Detecting Watch. At the touch of a button, this functional yet stylish watch will reveal the strength of local WiFi connections up to 100 meters away. You can see all available connection points and select the best location from which to hook up.

The WiFi Detecting Watch is also a good-looking timepiece with all the functionality you’d expect. In addition to the time, it features an alarm, stop watch, countdown timer, hourly chime, dual time, lap memory, world time zone mode and calendar. It's also shock proof and water resistant to 100 meters.

So when you're in an unfamiliar place and need to do some last minute emailing or work on an important project, don't be without an internet connection when you have the WiFi Detecting Watch.


Many of us like to listen to music from our iPod while working, cooking or doing other projects that require the use of our hands. And when the volume gets too loud or you just don't want to hear the next song it's hard to stop what you're doing to use the iPod controls. This problem has now been solved with the ingenious Voice Command iPod Controller.

This clever device allows you to control all the functions of your iPod completely hands-free. Simply attach the voice command controller to your shirt, collar, or lapel or hang it around your neck with the included neck strap. Then when your hands are busy all you need to do is give the basic verbal commands including play, stop, next track, previous track, volume up and down.

The Voice Command iPod Controller plugs into the dock connector on your iPod and also gains its power from your iPod so it doesn't require its own power source. The controller is made to recognize English commands but can be trained to be commanded in non-English languages as well.


! The “i-sobot” is a Japanese robot created by Takara Tomy. It is right now the world’s smallest robot. It measures 6.5” (165mm) high, 3.77” (96mm) wide, 2.64” (67mm) deep and weights in at 14 ounces (400g).

So what can this cool new robot do? From the factory it knows already over 200 words and phrases and 200 pre-programmed movement sequences. I tested to by telling it to “do pushups” and down he went and started to workout like a real fitness instructor:) I love to have a small “mini-me” and I don’t have to change any diapers.


Some other things the i-sobot can do out of the box is saying goodbye, dancing hula, punching with sound effects, playing air guitar and much more. If you have some computer knowledge you can easily reprogram the Takara Tomy i-sobot to learn more movements and words. After some time it feels like a family member, just like a pet. The robot can’t do much useful stuff like cleaning the dishes but he will bring out a lot of laughs and make you smile.



It is designed to be placed under your TV and not to be moved. Now some people have made sure that you can bring your PS3 with you to the party.

This is the Clearvision Playstation 3 LCD. It’s a small screen with speakers that are very easy to hook up to your Playstation 3. This will make your Playstation 3 unit very mobile. You can play your games on it without connecting it to a TV. You still need to plug the power cord but still this is a very cool gadget in my opinion.
