For the last one week, I was eyeing on this new model of Traveler digital camera from Germany. For some reason, it caught my interest when I was shopping at Aldi, when they announced a product to be released this week. The Traveler Digital Camera DC-5080 has a 5-megapixel, sufficiently large enough to take really good quality pictures. In addition, the 1.7-inch LCD colour display allows you to see more clearly.

The team at coolest-gadgets.com are pleased to pass their congratulations to LG Philips for developing the world’s largest LCD television panel - with a whopping 100 inch panel.

There’s just one problem we can see though. We’d have to move the couch into the kitchen to fit this TV into our living room. In fact with a price tag of $100,000 dollars, we’d have to sell the couch, and most of the kitchen, to make the first down payment.

If you can’t buy these iPod cases why bother reading? Because you can do it at home.
