The Hanging Alarm Clock jerks out of your reach
This new alarm hangs on a 30cm cable and when it’s time to wake up it will creep up that cable and hide out on your ceiling. The only way to shut it off is to grab it off the ceiling and hit the stop button. Which means you’ll end up having to stand to reach the thing. Hopefully you don’t have a cat though, because it would end up attempting to rip it down from the ceiling. Which doesn’t look good for either your alarm clock or the cat.

FunWeigh Joking Scale for some laughs
You can’t be serious all your life, or you’ll probably end up in your grave much earlier than your peers. Well, here’s one way to lighten up the mood in your home during the upcoming festive season – with the FunWeigh Joking Scale. This is one good-natured piece of electronic device that will actually hurl out insults and snide comments according to your current weight. Some of the soon-to-be classics include “It’s a good thing I talk because you probably can’t see me”, “gasp gasp can’t breathe”, “I think you just broke me” and “Back AWAY from the scale.” Those who have plenty of girth around their waist might not appreciate these remarks, but really, after a couple of drinks, it will all sound a whole lot funnier than it already is. You can pick up the zany FunWeigh Joking Scale for $49.90. This almost made it to Foolish Gadgets.
EDG digital video player
Your business card has far reaching implications that you will never think about (for those who are still wet behind the ears, of course), and having the right design and information on a card could very well separate you from your competitors when potential customers make a purchasing decision. EDG, pronounced edge, is touted to be the first digital video player in the world meant for business use. When purchased in bulk, the price will retail fro $17.50 to $29.50 (depending on the quantity) that allows companies to showcase their “custom audio/video or slide show information where it can be viewed on the card’s 2″ high-resolution LCD color screen”. Content can be loaded or changed repeatedly simply by replacing the file via USB 2.0. Plugging it to a computer will also recharge the card’s battery, making this one useful business presentation tool that truly stands out in recent memory. Perfect for folks who want to use it in a variety of ways, including a code-compliant (pharmaceutical) education tool, a destination souvenir, a frequent flyer membership card, a trade show giveaway, a direct mail video brochure, a product manual, a language learning device, and much more.
3DiJoy Technologies to ship FlingPC controller in time for Christmas
3DiJoy Technologies is a name not well known to many, but the company is the brain behind a fair number of sophisticated PC-based, motion-sensitive video game solutions and 3D video games. With a little bit more light shed on their background, perhaps we can look at their latest product with more of an open mind without bringing up a mention of Nintendo’s best selling console for this generation. In fact, 3DiJoy Technologies will begin to ship the new FlingPC-branded video game solution in time for Santa and his little helpers to shove these down chimneys of those who are interested during this Yuletide season.

Motorola MOTOROKR EM35 debuts
Motorola certainly aren’t too good with public relations, or they know something much more than I do when it comes to product launches. Imagine releasing a handset that you hope will do well (when you’re in Motorola’s position, virtually any phone released ought to do well so that you can keep your business operations afloat) on the same day that one of your much larger rival unveils their flagship handset. We’re talking about the Nokia N97 here people, and this smartphone outguns Motorola’s whimper of a MOTOROKR EM35 by all accounts. Still, it wouldn’t be unfair to write off the EM35 without taking a closer look at it, so leave pen your comments once you’re done with this post right after the jump.

Assemble your last Christmas Tree with Treekeeper
Although I have historically been a real tree guy when it comes to decking the halls, the quality of fake Christmas trees has steadily improved to the point where it makes pretty good sense to own one. Sure, it rather flies in the face of tradition, and “oh tannenbaum” and all that, but the really good ones come with Christmas tree light preinstalled and even have that pine tree smell. And they look very realistic. In fact, the only real reason to not own one is the hassle of setting it up and tearing it down every Christmas. Well, Treekeeper solves that problem as well.
