Doctor Who Time Lord Psychic Container
Are you a huge fan of Dr Who and love collecting all of their merchandise, much to the chagrin of the missus? Well, you might as well as this $29.99 Doctor Who Time Lord Psychic Container to your bucket list – this is a color-changing plastic cube that boasts both glowing as well as flickering effects, where you can choose to put into action three modes – color change, white glow and white flicker.
Having said that, you can also let your overactive imagination run wild by thinking that a Time Lord is about to send you a message, and what better way to do it than through a Doctor Who Time Lord Psychic Container? After all, it just goes to show that every single bit of the message will not be lost in translation in any way, reaching you in the exact manner it was meant to be, perfect punctuation with no room for grammar Nazis to point their fingers at.
To begin the light effects, all you need to do is tap it, and to make sure the trio of LR44 batteries powering it are maximized, it will turn itself off automatically after 10 minutes.
Umiushi Smapho 2800 rechargeable battery charger
You know how the land of Japan tends to come up with some rather quirky items from time to time? After all, we were introduced to vending machines that sell used panties for those who have a penchant of sniffing on stuff stronger than glue, not to mention having the in-the-flesh “social network” of sorts in the form of Cosplay long before Facebook came into being. Well, here is another cute addition (although not that weird, but rather, it is extremely functional and practical) to the “Made in Japan” list – the Umiushi Smapho 2800 – a rechargeable battery charger that caters for both Android and iOS-powered phones.
The beauty about the Umiushi Smapho 2800 would be the fact that it requires no external cables or adaptors, coming in roughly the size of your palm. Of course, one’s palm size is a variable factor, and since the target market of this feminine looking device would be for ladies aged between 20 to 40, then I would say it will be rather small especially for the men. Then again, I’m not quite sure which guy would want to tote this 2,800mAh battery around in such a design, as there is surely a more masculine model out there.

Star Wars Force FX Removable Blade Lightsabers
I guess the world just cannot get enough of George Lucas’ space opera, Star Wars, with the Blu-ray version of Star Wars: The Complete Saga breaking all Blu-ray sales records in the blink of an eye. Well, having said that, even if you already own all sorts of lightsaber replicas and toys with no more room left to spare in your basement, chances are you would also find the $119.99 Star Wars Force FX Removable Blade Lightsabers enticing, much to the chagrin of your other half.
Touted by Thinkgeek to be the “most perfect lightsaber toy ever”, these new blades will light from bottom up accompanied by its unique sound, and whenever you’re done with slaying enemies as well as dispatching of the latest Sith (was it the Master or the Apprentice?), it will fade from the top down with an appropriate sound. Each swing will also trigger its own sound effect, and if it comes into contact with another person, object or lightsaber, the distinctive explosive sound will also be heard.
You can even pick up a couple more models for your collection in this round – Luke’s lightsaber from Episode IV and Kit Fisto, who fell far too easily to Emperor Palpatine.
Z3 GPS goggles for those who do not want to get lost
Going skiiing can be quite the fun activity – after all, you have nothing but a huge expanse of snow to which you can ply your trade, slaloming through the slopes with wanton abandon (once your skill level is right up there, of course, beginners as well as those who are not experienced enough need to maintain a degree of caution). Sometimes of course, you still need to get your bearings correct wherever you ski, as exploring too far away from the base might see you getting lost (either that or, if you have a really bad sense of direction).
Good thing there is this thing called GPS – and Zeal Optics from Colorado has introduced their latest model of goggles that sports a built-in global positioning system, calling it the Z3 GPS Goggles. These goggles will be constructed based on the technology introduced in the company’s Transcend GPS Goggles collection, where among the new features will include enhanced style and comfort, ease-of-use and data-capture capabilities.

Vigilant Emergency Wrist Alarm
When it comes to personal protection, you cannot be too careful these days. Of course, it pays to always be vigilant and aware of your surroundings wherever you go, and if you so happen to have enrolled in some self-defense classes, surely you would be better prepared should some creep come up on you and try something untoward. For those who are lacking in the art of fighting, there is the $16.99 Vigilant Emergency Wrist Alarm – while it will not disable an attacker the way a taser would, this unique wrist band will be able to be activated in a jiffy, where the alarm draws attention to you should you need help, not to mention deterring attackers as well.
It comes in pretty pink, so I don’t think the guys would be wearing this anytime soon, and designed for one-touch activation with hands free operation, you can be sure that it will work well when called upon. There are also flashing emergency lights that cater for nighttime visibility and location. It is useful for rape-prevention, but interestingly enough, the package itself does not contain the word “rape” so that it ends up being appropriate for all ages. After all, you might find it awkward to explain the meaning of the word to your little one wearing this.
XANTHOS Stereo Console Gaming Headset
While having naturally fast reflexes that are attuned to the way that makes you the envy of your friends when it comes to computer gaming, sometimes natural talent can only bring you so far – especially when you’re going head-to-head with someone else who is also equally talented as you are. Well, what then, becomes the determining factor between winning and losing? Surely this is where the right kind of hardware comes into play, and Speedlink intends to have your ears covered with their very own XANTHOS Stereo Console Gaming Headset.
This particular universal sound solution was not developed to cater to just a single gaming platform – no sir, this particularly stylish stereo headset will be able to cater to three different gaming platforms – namely, the Xbox 360, its close cousin the PC, as well as the other console, the Sony PS3. I guess with Wii owners moving up and about, a wired headset is not really advisable in the vicinity, swinging controllers and all.

Cuddle Tunes MP3 Player
The Apple iPod touch has proved to be quite the sexy MP3 player, but is it cute? That’s definitely not the adjective that one uses to describe the iPod touch, but that does not mean there are no other devices out there that are able to melt your heart with a glance. Case in point, the $59.99 Cuddle Tunes MP3 Player. Sure, it might seem to be overkill to fork out that kind of money for an MP3 player, but how many MP3 models do you know out there that will be able to offer you some cuddly comfort at the end of a particularly long day instead of looking all brick-like?
This device not only plays back all your favorite tunes, it will also allow you to record personal messages to your geekling, thanks to the built-in speakers. All you need to do is press play and a personalized bedtime soundtrack will play back. Let your imagination go wild as you record stories, songs as well as lovey dovey messages. Future updates can always be uploaded to the bear via USB, and each purchase will be accompanied by a year’s worth of unlimited Cuddletunes website access for you to change the soundtrack as you please.
Granted, 1GB of storage space won’t get you too far these days, but at least you have something to hug when listening to those heartbreaking tunes.
Skytex S-series tablet PC runs on Windows 7
When we talk about tablets these days, there really isn’t any other comparison apart from Android-powered models and the iPad family – anything else really isn’t going to make the news. Having said that, Skytex Technology decided to throw their lot into the ring with Windows 7 by offering the EXOPC, which delivers a customized version of their touch-centric user interface to the SKYTAB S-series tablet device.
Underneath the hood lies a dual-core Intel Atom N550 processor, where it is touted to be the ultimate in mobile computing. It will merge the portability of a slate or tablet alongside the flexibility and familiarity of Windows for those who have yet to take the plunge into the world of Android or iOS.
