Verizon Hub VoIP Phone
Since times are getting harder and people look for various ways to tighten their belts without affecting one’s lifestyle by too much, how about taking a look at how many phone calls you make from home each month? Instead of relying on calling cards, how about making use of your existing broadband connection and utilize VoIP technology instead? Verizon has a new Hub to cater to such a crowd, being an intuitive device that puts a communications command center in the home while merging both wireline and wireless connectivity. It doesn’t matter whether you’re running on a broadband connection supplied by Verizon FiOS Internet, DSL or any other high-speed service provider, the Verizon Hub works with them all.

Rumor: Apple and AT&T working on 3G MacBook
Apple is one company that is never far away from rumors, in fact, it would be quite unusual for Cupertino to be rumor-free for a few months. After all, this is the company that has brought about plenty of innovation in the world of personal computers, and majority of their new releases in recent years have been preceded by rumors. This time round, the latest word depends on how someone interprets generic comments from an AT&T department president – could AT&T and Apple actually forge a partnership to release a 3G-enabled MacBook? For greater context, check out part of their conversation right after the jump.

Samsung introduces new wireless printers
Take a look around you and let us know that the world is slowly but surely taking the wireless route. See how hands-free kits are getting more popular these days (although Bluetooth headsets haven’t really taken off by saturating the entire market), alongside Wi-Fi hotspots for convenience and even the emergence of wireless USB. Samsung has stepped up to the task of providing the world with three more wireless printers that aim to help save valuable time and space for both the home and the office. The new wireless printers are the CLX-3175FW, ML-1630W and SCX-4500W. All of them will come equipped with integrated 802.11b/g wireless connectivity, and they’ll also feature smart design that won’t take up much space wherever it is placed.

Vizini sun visors for women
You know women and their quest to remain young, doing all in their power (and with their hard earned money, of course) to reverse the aging process. Of course, everyone grows old eventually, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do it in an ungraceful manner. One of the main causes of rapid skin aging is exposure to the sun, and wearing a hat is always a good idea if you spend plenty of time outside (especially if you’re in Australia at this point in time). Vizini, creatos of sun visors for women, have come up with their latest invention – a strapless visor which not only offers you protection from the sun’s harsh rays, it also renders obsolete “hat hair,” headaches, sweating and forehead lines that result from headband and clamp-style sun visors.

The Smash Alarm Clock lets you get out morning aggression
Here’s a great way to kick off the morning. There is no better way to greet the day than to start it with a bit of violence. No one really likes their alarm clock, for a great deal of reasons really. First of all it is dragging you out of bed and to top it off, most alarm clocks are just plain annoying. I know it’s had to occur to you on at least one occasion to pick up the clock and chuck it at the nearest wall or at the very least to pound it into tiny pieces.

The Key Thing holds your keys for you
Instead of going the usual dull route of having hooks to toss your keys on, you could actually go the interesting route with this design. It could take care of your keys without taking up too much wall space. Although I wouldn’t entirely trust this if you have a love for a overabundance of keychains. It might cause your key holder to fall out of the wall if your keys weigh too much. If you do have normal keys though, it’d be a great way to make sure you don’t lose your keys quite as often.

Oral-B Triumph: Most Advanced Toothbrush Ever?
The toothbrush is one of those inventions that don’t need any improvement. Yes, you can put a motor on it to make it work faster, and Reach has spent a lot on R&D and marketing to show that their toothbrushes are more advanced. In all honesty, the Oral-B Triumph has got to be the most advanced toothbrush that I’ve seen, and I don’t see how you could improve toothbrushes after this.
After all, how many toothbrushes come with a handheld display that is wirelessly synced to the toothbrush itself? This is what the Smart Guide display is designed to do, and the user holds it in his or her hand while he or she brushes.
The Smart Guide times the brushing, and it is recommended that you brush with the Triumph for about two minutes. You can adjust the speed settings for cleaning, massaging, polishing, and sensitive care. There is an indicator on the Smart Guide that lets you know the setting, and a warning light in case you are brushing too hard.

Water Jetpack latest in Aqua fun?
See this man in this blurry photo? He is defying gravity with a jetpack, but not the type that we normally think of when we think of the word jetpack. The fact is that most of the jetpacks that we see can only sustain a few minutes worth of flight time and are very dangerous.
Someone has invented a water jetpack that is safe, fun, and the flights last a lot longer. You can see it in action on the YouTube video after the jump.
Of course, there are some limits to the height of the Water Jetpack. As you can see, the man is tethered to a pump that is the source of the gravity-defying water pressure. There also seems to be some sort of boat thing behind him, and I’m not certain if he is controlling it, or if its just being dragged.
