Flat screen TV’s seem to be everywhere at the moment. Anyone who is anyone will have a 36inch flat screen perched proudly in their living room. But I’m sure you will agree, the prices for these things are extortionate.
Until now, most people have opted for the portable DVD option giving you a great picture that you can take anywhere. That is until I introduce you to the Rimax Virtual Vision Glasses 3.0.

InvisibleSHIELD is like a screen protector film but for your whole device. What this means is that you can protect your device from knocks and scratches but without having to hide it in a case.
In the pack you get the actual InvisibleSHIELD film pre-cut for the device you have purchased it for, a small squirty-bottle of solution (they call it SHIELDSpray) and a small piece of plastic (referred to as a squeegee).
My living room is full of electrical equipment, the mandatory wide-screen, DVD player, PS2, cable TV box, PC, etc. Many of essential devices are controlled via remote, which causes a bit of a problem when it’s behind a cabinet door.

I’m not sure if digital radio has taken off as well as people had hoped. The only time I listen to the radio these days is when I’m in the car, and to be honest an FM reception would be good enough.
A sweet-looking gadget like might persuade me to go digital though!
One of my friends has got an FM Transmitter for his iPod. It simply plugs into the iPod’s earphone socket and transmits what ever is playing to a set FM station meaning you can easily listen to what’s playing on your iPod on your car stereo wire free.
The GT Cube is the same sort of thing but in a much smaller box. It incorporates a microphone so can also be used as a hands free kit in your car. It does look a cool and useful gadget but only if you’re Korean

We’re probably a bit late reporting on this one but as England are playing today it seemed appropriate to mention the Philips Universal Remote - World Cup Party Edition.
The World Cup remote control is shaped and colored like a football pitch. The buttons are colored and positioned as opposing players but must admit it’s a formation I’ve never seen before.
The only reason I’d need this remote when watching a game would by for it’s ingenious other purpose, an inbuilt bottle opener. Sensibly it doesn’t include a counter like that other bottle opener we wrote about.

When I first started writing on this blog one of the things I wrote about is why people have such a passion for gadgets. I argued that people bought gadgets because they wanted either to show off, collect them as fashion accessories, or because they hadn’t lost their childhood love of toys.
I missed one class of gadgets that can fundamentally improve people’s quality of life, and this device would fall into that category. It’s a device that enables blind people to “see” by converting light into an audio signal, which with practice can be heard and interpreted as an “image” of their local environment.
I used to play drums when I was younger, I wasn’t particularly good so made up for my lack of musical ability by purchasing an ever growing kit. So even if I sounded crap at least I had about 18 drums to hide behind. Going to the opposite extreme I can now get this nano like finger drum set to annoy my listeners with :).
The Finger Drums are about the size of a mouse mat and can be played by tapping your fingers. The enclosed speaker is supposedly pretty good and will certainly sound better than tapping beer mats in the pub.
If I’d had one of these when I was younger I’d of saved thousands, then again the practice room we hired close to the town centre was priceless in more ways than one :).
