You probably saw the marketing for it. How you can take a piece of paper, draw numbers and a “+,-,x and /” and suddenly you have a calculator. But that was just the beginning. It looks like Leapfrog is taking the Pentop Computer to a whole new level with the updated Fly Fusion Pentop Computer. While its main focus is still for middle school age students who need a solid digital study aid, the Fly Fusion seems to have matured with a design that incorporates more advanced features – thereby making it of interest to older students and even adults as well.

Following the success of the Roomba robotic vaccum and the Scooba robotic floor cleaner, iRobot announced two new roboGadgets at this year’s Digital Life convention. One can be considered a Godsend for dads who are mired in the fall ritual of cleaning out the drain gutters on the roof, while the second is an ideal option for those who find themselves traveling a lot on business and want to check in at home.

Thanko has released a wireless AV streamer that comes with a transmitter which helps you hook up to the source and a receiver that connects to the destination screen, suggesting that virtually all AV equipment are compatible with it. Heck, you can even use this to create your own home monitoring system by hooking up a standard video camera to survey a particular section in your home while relaying images to a TV in your bedroom. Each $85 purchase comes with an infrared receiver and a remote control that sends commands over the 2.4GHz wireless connection.

The next time you see the Exit Sign, be more wary. It could be a color hidden camera for all you know. This universal AC only camera comes equipped witha high power 2.4GHz transmitter to transmit captured images wirelessly up to 2,500 feet away. Check out the specifications below.

Great for those who want to protect their property (especially commercial ones), but I’d strongly suggest against picking this up for your home. After all, how many people have EXIT signs having over their doors at home? The Exit Sign Color Hidden Camera retails for $431.99.

Ever got that feeling that somebody else is just looming behind you, but when you turn around, there’s nobody there? This pair of $10 Spyglasses provides the answer.

These ordinary looking sun glasses have a unique feature…you can see behind you. They have a special coating that allows you to look straight ahead and still see what is going on behind you. A great novelty item.

If you’re paranoid enough about having somebody trail you all the time, I must say getting a pair of these is imperative.

There’s a great scene in Mission: Impossible (starring Tom Cruise) where he puts on a cool pair of glasses that have an invisible spy camera built into the lenses. As he walks into a foreign embassy, the video is streamed live to his cohorts who monitor his progress.

Well, spyglasses haven’t evolved to that point, but at least they’ve reached a point where the glasses are fashionable, rather than an homage to “Revenge of the Nerds.” But sadly, in this case, spytech with fashion sense also translates into a drain on the pocketbook. But we all must suffer to look good, don’t we? Even today’s spy has to carry off the look. And we can credit the Brits for making it happen. Spycatcher of Knightsbridge is offering a personal digital video recorded with sunglasses that have a built in camera.

The Phonak Invisity holds the honor of being the first in-ear RF receiver in the world.

The Phonak Invisity is the smallest – and only – in-the-ear-receiver in the world. Discreet prompting allows the production process to run smoothly and more economically. You can choose between 2 different devices. You can now program and or reprogram your invisity receiver, set your required frequencies and adjust audio level and other features at your discretion.

Guess this is the little invisible earpiece that could, operating up to 13 hours before the batteries are exhausted. Super spies and mothers who want to know their children better can always look out for one of these.

This Tactical Door Viewer was specially developed with assistance from those involved in the law enforcement industry, and is used to evaluate potential hazards that are located behind dwelling doors. Of course, while it can’t see items from extreme angles, at the very least it helps law enforces have a look at the situation inside the room without running the risk of alerting anyone inside. The Tactical Door Viewer fits most common peepholes in the U.S., especially those found in apartments, condominiums, and houses. It is extremely lightweight and simple to use. You can pick one up today for $88 – hopefully bellboys in hotels won’t have a field day with these!
