Now here’s a new tanning bed that sheds the old, boring image normally associated with it. This one not only helps you get a healthy and even tan no matter what season it is, it also boasts additional creature comforts such as surround sound, MP3 playback capability, Smart Voice, CliMax air conditioning, and Xsens that lulls you to a comfortable sleep thanks to a fragrant scent being sent through a ventilation system. You can choose from Starlight Silver, Mellow Lime, Sunrise Orange, Eternal Blue, and Bling Variant colors to suit your home. Once you’re done tanning, the Qsens system will spray a mist of water into the room to refresh and cool you down. No idea on how much it will cost though.

Considering that many of our mobile electronics have USB ports for charging, it is not always convenient to find a spare USB port, especially when traveling on the road.

I suppose this is why the In car charger has USB ports, four of them actually. This In car charger plugs right into the cigarette lighter, and now the user can plug in an iPod, mobile phone, digital camera, GPS device, or any other USB device that he or she needs on the open road.

Vending machine kiosks have been a staple of the Japanese electronics world for years. But as gadgets get cooler and cheaper, it appears that Best Buy is poised to begin flooding American airports with vending machine kiosks filled with last minute gadgetry to help stressed out travelers who seek to get their tech on or simply to replace the AC adapter they left in their hotel room.

Tired of your house smelling like smoke?  Well then suck it up with this ashtray.  It was specifically designed to suck that smoke into the dome and dispose of it.  It does so by, breaking down the smoke into negatively-charged particles, which are then “captured by the positively-charged stainless steel lining of the dome.”  I’m a little skeptical as to how it works and if it will actually stop the smell from getting into your home.  After all, your cigarette doesn’t stay in the ashtray.  At some point you have to take it out to smoke it.

Is there room for a mini projector in our society these days? I personally think so - after all, it ain’t too much fun sharing a movie with several friends over the tiny display of the iPod touch. With the QingBar MP101 mini projector dock from Honlai Technology, you’ll be able to throw a 640 x 480 resolution image to a nearby screen or wall. That isn’t high at all by any standards, but it is understandable judging by the size of the device. The image size projected ranges from 15″ to 27″, and comes with a contrast ratio of 200:1 and a brightness of 10 to 15 lumens. You can also hook up your own speakers via a mini AV jack. Details such as pricing and availability are unknown.

Back in the eighties, we all thought that our phones would eventually have video cameras and displays by the year 2000. Well, most of us have webcams and Skype that can accomplish this, but that has been only in the past few years.

However, the UseeIsee takes this video communicating technology off your computer and puts it on your kitchen counter, just where we thought it would be back in the day.

Ever wondered how Darth Vader felt when he stood on the deck of the Executor-class Star Destroyer? He must’ve felt pretty smug about himself, rising from being a lowly slave on Tatooine into the second most powerful person in the known galaxy (although he thinks otherwise, just don’t tell the Emperor). After all, it must be a pretty nice feeling knowing that you control the thousands of stars you see below you. Just in case you want to imagine that scenario for yourself, why not get the DIY Mini Star Projector? It will project thousands of stars in random order, and you will be able to name your own constellations even when the weather is foul outside. This device will retail for $36 and is powered by a couple of AA batteries.

I have no idea why you would want to keep track of your heart rate if all you’re doing is sitting idly by the computer. Seriously, how much faster can your heart beat if all you do is type furiously on the keyboard? I suppose this is interesting to see whether your pulse races whenever you check out NSFW images, or it might be interesting to see if you can remain calm whenever the stock markets plunge. Inside the Vit W1 mouse lies a pulse rate sensor that will send collected information to your computer wirelessly, where a pre-installed software on your computer will interpret whether you need medical attention or not by displaying a corresponding emoticon on the screen. The mouse is accompanied by five buttons, a small USB receiver, 1200dpi sensitivity and a maximum working range of 30 feet.
