The winner of last week’s coolest gadget competition is the Self-charging phone.

This phone takes top-of-the-range watch technology and teams it up with a touchscreen to create a stylish hybrid handset. Its built-in battery is charged by the kinetic energy generated by the moving rotor so that your phone charges without you even noticing, while it’s working.

Congrats again to Decide What to Buy.

In second place we have the AccuVein AV3000 Helps Doctors Locate Veins.

The AccuVein AV3000 is a device which requires no contact with the patient and the device illuminates veins so that they can be observed.

Finally in third place comes the Samsung LED TV.

“That’s not a gadget” we hear you sigh, but when a TV is as clever as this, it most definitely is. For starters it looks sexier than a strip club to a monk and is thinner than a supermodels lunchbox (1.2″). It also posseses a multitude of connection possibilities. These stack up to an impressive 4 x HDMI ports, 2 x USB ports, a DTV Tuner, wireless LAN and internet TV. Yup, we did say wireless Lan and internet TV.
