Whilst doing my usual rounds of gadget sites I saw that Think Geek are now selling my favourite wifi gadget, the Nabaztag though only on pre-order at the moment.

So you can now get the cute (and some may say useful) tech bunny from Think Geek in the States and Firebox in the UK, though annoyingly I ordered one of these in March from FB and it’s still out of stock :(.

I don’t know if this the worlds smallest PC (I’m sure we’ve reported on a smaller one) but it’s still exceedingly small measuring just 52mm x 52mm x 55mm.

This is one sexy looking laptop, the 17″ version of the Apple MacBook Pro.

It’s powered by the new Intel Core Duo engine and Apple our boasting a performance increase of 5 times that of the PowerBook G4 (which wasn’t exactly sluggish).

Available now from Apple with prices starting from $1999.

This is one cool gadget for the TV addict. The SlingBox (by Sling Media) is an easy-to-use device that plugs into your satellite, cable, DVD or DVR and transmits the video signal over a broadband connection to your remote PC desktop, mobile or PDA. So, you’ll never have to miss your favourite show when you’re away from the living room.

This is another gadget for all you secret agents out their, a scanner disguised as a pen, the DocuPen.

The Planon DocuPen RC800 is a pen scanner with a difference, instead of having the scanning camera at the tip of the pen, the DocuPen has an electronic eye down the length of the pen. This means instead of scanning a block of text a line at a time you can scan an entire page in just one sweep.

Finally a USB flash drive that isn’t boasting to be the biggest in capacity or the smallest in physical dimensions. The flashbag is a flash drive with a difference as it inflates to show how full it is.

It’s a cool idea, simly plug the drive into your PC, copying files over and watch the bag inflate. The flashbag would stay inflated after being unplugged, providing an instant indication of how full the drive is.

At the moment the flashbag is just a concept product but it would be cool if a company actually released them :).

This is another one of those simple but neat ideas, a USB thumbdrive that you make your self (if you can call it making).

The idea behind it is to reuse all those old SD and MMC cards you have lying around, from forgotten phones, cameras, etc. You simply slip the card into the supplied case (that’s the making DIY part) and hey presto you have your home made USB flash drive.

You can get the full kit (with complex instructions) from Think Geek.

Since the previous first post on a Buslink 64GB Flash drive, another company, Kanguru Solutions, has also introduced its very own USB 2.0 64GB Flash drive.

The Kanguru Flash Drive Max has various models, with the highest one with a storage capacity of 64GB. Basically, this thumb drive (or flash drive) is no different from other flash drives of smaller capacity, in terms of physical appearance. It is supports file storage on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, without drivers required (except for Windows98 and older).
