If you love your pets and having normal pictures of them around isn’t enough, now you can have illuminated ones. That’s right, just place the photo in the picture frame that happens to double as a night light and Fluffy glows all night long. I have a cat, I really do love her and she’s pretty, but she’s completely retarded. In a picture frame, she’s not nearly as entertaining. When my power goes out and I have lost touch with the internet, she is what keeps me from going into complete and total melt down.

Mitsubishi has a new range of flat panel TVs known as the Mitsubishi Ultra Thin Frame Premium Flat Panel TV with Integrated Sound Projector. Well, it certainly sounds like a mouthful, but good thing it provides an earful as well, featuring integrated sound capabilities that will transform the home entertainment experience with innovative sound technology by offering consumers a built-in home theater TV solution without the need and hassle to install extra speakers or additional wires. Best of all is, this system can be controlled via a solitary remote control, and you won’t suffer from the lack of viewable real estate either with 46″ and 52″ panels to choose from.

Dash Navigation has made available an update for the Dash Express, making it the first Internet-connected automotive GPS device from its stable that allows one to wirelessly update the device software without having to purchase upgrades separately while going through the hassle of installing them through a PC or DVD download later on. All you need to do is turn on your Dash Express and the updating process will kick in - provided you’re within range of a compatible Wi-Fi network, that is. Sounds like a no-brainer to me, somewhat akin to Windows XP’s Automatic Updates. Check out the new features that comes with the update right after the jump.

Targus has just rolled out its new portable foldign speaker known as the AEM0702AP in Korea. I suppose you could always slip a love note inside it when folded to your mate, surprising her as she opens it at work to listen to the new CD you bought for her. Of course, if she happens to work in a place where power outlets are hard to come by, it would be prudent to include a quartet of AAA batteries into the mix so that these speakers can be powered. Alternatively, just hook it to your computer’s USB port and you’re good to go. No idea on pricing though.

Man, if only the Battery Wizard made its way back in the 1990s where I spent most of my money on AA batteries so that I could get my kicks with the original Game Boy. After all, rechargeable batteries were not yet what they are today, so purchasing expensive alkalines (on a school boy’s allowance) was the only alternative if I wanted portable gaming.

Extend the battery life of throwaway batteries by 10 times or more. In the strictest sense, the Battery Wizard does not recharge Alkaline cells but reconditions them so batteries’ valuable chemical contents are fully utilized. Using the latest pulse wave charge system, all the main battery classes such as AA, AAA, C, D can be recharged up to four at a time. Four LED lights let you know when The Battery Wizard has worked its magic, while a built-in micro-process rejects faulty batteries.

You can pick up the Battery Wizard for £19.95.

Bird Electron of Korea has just rolled out the Airboard - a fancy pants keyboard tray and wrist rest constructed from natural tree walnut meant for your Apple wireless keyboard. It measures a mere 15mm thin, and if you happen not to own an Apple wireless keyboard, this one doubles up as a mouse pad as well. Of course, I can think of more creative uses for it such as a chopping board…

Here’s a portable DVD player that ditches the traditional 7″ screen size in favor of a much larger 12.5″, although that would translate to more weight for you to lug around.

This amazing unit will take care of all of your entertainment requirements. With a built-in battery, this unit is completely mobile and will give you hours of fun on the roar or in the park. Charging can be achieved by car or mains power adapters so you’ll always be close to supplementary power sources. Keep everyone happy with a huge variety of inputs and media formats including VGA and NES emulation.

You can pick this up for $196.69 a pop, and it gets cheaper if you purchase more per order.
