Sat Nag keeps the humor going
Never mind if you’re lost without a GPS navigation system to help you out – the Sat Nag is more than capable of breaking the tension by coming out with some real funny lines. Of course, once you’ve heard them all it gets old pretty fast, but still, the novelty is there.
Press the button on the front and a very well-recorded, patronising woman’s voice will come out with one of a host of hysterical Sat Nav-type commands. With such crackers as: “I know you’re a man, but it’s been 35 minutes now, so can you please admit you’re lost and ask someone the way”; and “In 100 metres turn left. No right, err, no left. Sorry, I never can tell my left from my right”, as well as “In 50 meters I’m going to put on my most annoying voice and say ‘Is your short cut really faster when we get stuck in traffic like this, well, is it darling?” and “In 100 meters I’m going to talk to you in that special voice, which should let you know you’ve upset me in some way that is bound to be your fault”.
I trust you won’t find the £7.99 price point to be an obstacle?
iPod Gramophone
I can’t help but feel the iPod Gramophone is somewhat akin to the PhonoFone II which we covered earlier this month.
Handcrafted entirely of slip-cast ceramic to replicate the curvature and passive amplification of a French horn, this is the iPod gramophone that augments sound from an iPod without requiring auxiliary power or speaker components. The gramophone projects music using authentic horn acoustics; simply place Apple earbuds on the gramophones integrated cradles and music channels through the coiled tube and resonates out of the flared bell, resulting in warm, amplified sound up to 55 decibels (near the sound level of laptop computer speakers). The gramophone is compatible with all iPod models and similar in size to a desk lamp, allowing for use on a nightstand, credenza, or desktop. The unit is best suited for amplifying blues, folk, classical, jazz, and other music genres that do not produce heavy base frequencies. Includes adapters for earbuds. White ceramic with a clear glaze finish.
If you want a piece of retro plus modern electronics mixed into a single device in your home, the iPod Gramophone can be yours for $499.95.
Paper Shampoo: Travel With Clean Hair
Flight restrictions have made it impossible to bring any sort of liquid as carry-on onto a plane. Sure, sure, we understand. It’s for our security and they don’t know if we’ve replaced the shampoo with some sort of volatile liquid. But I can assure you. If I were a terrorist, the last thing I would do right now is bring liquid on a plane, knowing how thoroughly security checks through bottles.
And even so. What am I going to do? Lather the pilot’s hair into submission? With that said, there is no way you’re going to be able to bring a bottle of shampoo on a plane with you. So for those situations, here is a cool idea. Paper Shampoo which comes stored in solid sheets.

Video Game Screens Made From Lego Bricks
Lego is no stranger to the world of video gaming. They have formed their own niche in the gaming market with their Star Wars and Indiana Jones titles. And while the look of Lego still remains intact in their games, we’ve never seen something quite like this.
A clever Flickr user by the name of skinny coder has put together a collection of video game screen renditions using nothing but Lego bricks and his imagination. His Lego creations include Duck Hunt (NES, pictured), Contra (NES), Castlevania (NES), Shadow of the Colossus (PS2), Mortal Kombat (Arcade), Excitebike (NES), Bionic Commando (NES), and Metal Gear (NES).

DXG-567V HD Camcorder
Yesterday, DXG released their newest video camera, the DXG-567V HD, to the general market. This portable camcorder is designed to capture high definition video, and is very user-friendly.
The DXG-567 HD is apparently designed for everyone. In fact, the company claims that even an older person can do it. The company claims that the controls are “intuitive”, and the front bears a strong resemblance to an iPod. Younger people ought to be able to operate this camcorder with ease.
Another feature is the Rapid Blog Manager software, which allows videos to be easily uploaded to the Internet on sites like YouTube. All you need to do is connect it to a computer with the flip-out USB connector, and follow a simple, three-step process. This is very similar to the Casio EX-Z9 camera.
The user also has the option of connecting the DXG-567V to any plasma or HDTV so he or she can view his or her footage from anywhere.

The Indoor/Outdoor Sentry Wireless Speaker and Transmitter
Most people that enjoy their music a lot like to keep it with them and on cleaning day having a speaker that can move with you would be great. Especially in a home with multiple iPods and kids this little Sentry Wirelesss Speaker would come in handy. The iPod works wirelessly so you could leave it one place and take the speaker with you. Even more convenient is that the speaker itself is water resistant. Granted you don’t go dipping it in the pool, but if it gets splashed on or even gets rained on a bit before you can rush it indoors would be okay.

The Future of Video Games?
In case you are wondering what the next step is for video game consoles, a British magazine known as T3 has some idea of where the future is headed. I believe that these visions are simply ideas, and nothing that is presently under development by the big video game developers.
The first concept is a different type of remote for the Nintendo Wii. This type of Wiimote is still a stick, but it only has one button. It is apparently hooked up to some sort of headset accessory that uses brainwaves to control, and has in-ear headphones. Brainwave technology has been under development for a while now, and if Nintendo gets the first mind interface, they could seriously corner the video game market.
The second concept is a version of the Xbox that is completely portable. Not only is it a game player with 64 GB of memory, but it has built-in Zune capability and can even act as a mobile phone.
