This gadget will effortlessly reduce a two hour movie into a 2 Gig MPEG4 file, and will record from analog TV, cable, set top box, satellite receiver box, DVD or your Camcorder.

By far the coolest gadget here is the R/C Spy Video ATV-360. Now if it was silent it would be great to sneak up on people.

My cat would go nuts for this toy. And she deserves it, because she is the BEST CAT in the world.
Nice selection this week. Lots of good cool stuff.

Nice jacket !
Doug Says: October 17, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I absolutely love mind games, so this weeks best must be K-Dron. I don’t know why the robot is getting so much attention this week, I mean, how much is a receptionist worth? I think 28,000 for a robot isn’t the best idea. I don’t think this is going to be the future… or maybe I just don’t like the idea of being so impersonal.

Voted for iRecorder.
Being able to record movies and shows directly from my TV without using a computer is like a dream come true. This is the time when a 32GB Apple product can come into good use.
Juergen Says: October 17, 2008 at 1:09 pm
ATV-360 is coolest, no doubt. Sure, it’s easy to build your own from an RC tank and a radio-camera – but having a complete package, with head-mounted display, and cheap: Awesome.
Now, if they’d make a Wifi or 3G version of it…

As a WoW player, it’s got to be the mouse for me!
Justin Cook Says: October 17, 2008 at 1:23 pm
I chose the iPhone heart monitor, as I have an iPhone, and I’m ripped like that guy…

iRecorder for iPods. Seriously…why does Steve Jobs have to be so good?

Fingers: because I like doing this with my hand sticking out the sunroof.

Jessica Says: October 17, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I’d love a way to get some of my favorite movies onto my iPod. The iRecorder is very handy.
Donnell Says: October 17, 2008 at 4:34 pm

The more buttons on a mouse the better. Behold the power!

K-dron easily, something to do.

Solar powered jacket rocks, thats the way to go
Jess Says: October 18, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I voted for the solar-powered ski jacket. I mean, it can charge its own avalanche beacon!
AlexB Says: October 19, 2008 at 8:40 am
The WoW mouse… well, it’s flashy… but I seriously doubt the 16 million choice of luminosity… who counted those?
Nonetheless, a definite must-buy if not only to show you’re 1337 Skillz
Clay Says: October 19, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Wow! The heart moniter looks so sweet! I think there would be a large demand for this.

I feel the need for the pool table in my office.
Justin Says: October 19, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Wow, the robot receptionist is amazing! Now I don’t have to deal with the annoying/slutty receptionist and now I can have a robot take my calls 8D.
