If you have an iPod, and use it on long trips or will be away from a computer for a while, this External Li-ion battery would probably be very helpful to you. You can plug your iPod into the battery to gain approximately 6-8 hrs of playtime for your iPod, although with the flash-based iPods (nano and shuffle) you may get more extra time than that.

We’ve already talked about convergence in gadgets where mobile phones increasingly are coming with high resolution cameras, MP3 players and even with an astonishing 8 GB of internal memory.

Now it seems the monitor manufacturers want a piece of the action too. The new Asus PG1191 19 inch monitor comes packed full of extras you wouldn’t expect to see in a conventional monitor.

When I first saw this gadget, I thought it was too good to be true! I find this gadget almost puts the Spy Sunglasses to shame. The Wireless Bullet Camera is, as assumed, a wireless camera, with a highly sensitive microphone as well for audio.

The tiny camera has a built in 2.4 GHz transmitter which almost makes you wonder where they fit all the video and audio hardware! The receiver can receive data from the transmitter up to 25m away, or 50m outdoors! The included receiver comes with all the equipment you need to hook it up to a television or monitor at a safe distance to avoid detection. There are provided adapters for both the camera and the receiver, however the camera can just as easily be powered by a 9V battery.

I know that one of the most jolting things that can happen to you on a bike is suddenly hearing a horn blaring from behind you. I usually bike with my ear buds in, however, I find sometimes just the wind makes it hard to hear whether or not you’re about to be flattened like a pancake.

The Slipstreamz is a new gadget that allows you to listen to your music while allowing you to hear the street noise as well as blocking the wind noise! Your ear buds are connected to the ear pieces which are then attached to the straps of your helmet (so yes, it makes you stay safe as well!). They hold the ear buds just far enough out from your ears to let you hear the music, but not shut out the sounds around you. They can also block that annoying noise the wind makes while you’re whizzing down the street, and could act as ear muffs when it’s cold but you just have to be out there.

This gadget could be the ultimate toy for all the lazy iPod fans out there. The iJoy ZipConnect Massage Chair has built-in speakers and sub woofer to surround you with sound while you relax in your massage chair.

Included is the ZipConnect module which allows you to connect any audio device (not just an iPod) to the chair with an 18-inch cable. The ZipConnect is also interchangeable with other iPod modules that allow you to play music as it charges so you never miss a beat! Powerful built in stereo speakers are found on either side of the headrest, while the sub woofer gives you all the bass you need from the bottom of the chair.

If you enjoy music, like wood, take pride in being different and have money to burn then these headphones may be for you.

This latest lot of Japanese headphones are partly made from bamboo (as in wood), you can get them in light or dark bamboo (in order to match your furniture I presume). I think they must have been made by highly paid skilled pandas as they cost $159 a pair.

Available from Dynamism found on Gadget Candy.

I saw this MP3 player with a built in OLED screen, and immediately thought; “Yup, want one of those!” The problem is it’s only a design concept at the present time. So now I’m asking myself, how long does it take for a brilliant design concept like this to hit the stores as a finished product?
