If you’ve always wanted a talking banana then your dreams have been answered thanks to the banana cell phone holder.

I’m not sure who would buy one of these but if you see somebody talking to one you might want to cross the street, I did like Ohgzmo’s name for potential users, geektards.

Available from (as if you care) Fred Flare, found on The Bag Lady via Shiny Shiny via Oh Gizmo.

This is one of those products that is nearly too sensible for us to write about, an antimicrobial sanitizer that uses dry heat instead of steam.

The dry heat sanitizer will kill 99.9% of germs in 30 minutes, so is ideal for babies bottles, pacifiers (dummies to us normal folk) and even the rubber duck your child likes to chew suck on.

Available for $69.95 from Hammacher which is probably one of the cheapest products Hammacher sells.

This has got to be the coolest looking and functioning shower I’ve ever seen the Aquagate.

Designed by Matteo Thun and Villeroy & Boch and inspired by Stonehenge, the Aquagate is one slick looking shower cubicle. Using a touch screen (inside and out) you are able to listen to music (your own MP3s or the inbuilt radio) and select one of the showers various programs, I liked the sound of the mist one:

Hot mist from above, cold mist at head-height, a ‘cool down’ programme that offers you coolness from top to toe, aroma and light therapy, a rain shower or a Scottish shower are all part of the extremely luxurious equipment level.

Unfortunatly I’ve not been able to find a price, which I find normally means it’s going to be exceedingly expensive. You can get further info over at Villeroy & Boch. [Found via CribCandy, thanks.]

If you want an easier way to monitor your workout without having to be draped in all kinds of wires, this watch could be the perfect thing for you. There are no wires required and you don’t even have to have it taking your heart rate while you’re working out.

When you get the watch you tell it some information which is stored in the watches internal memory. You tell it your age, sex, and weight. It also records the time you registered that information so it can update your age accordingly.

This is more of a novelty gadget than anything. These walking Mario characters are small remote controlled characters from Nintendo’s Mario games which can walk, run, turn left and right as well as make some neat little sounds.

The coolest thing about these characters is that they are controlled by controllers which look like the old Nintendo controllers. You can pretend you’re playing a real-life version of the old Mario games!

Each one goes for $16.90 and you can order one from Toys.brando.com.hk.

A lot of people haven’t heard of the electronic manufacture Coby, but they have been around since 1990. Coby produces a wide range of electronics, from security cameras to portable DVD players, the latter being what I’ll talk about here.

The Coby TF-DVD8500 has a swiveling 8.5” TFT screen, useful for the back of a headrest (mounting bag included), or on an airplane in those cramped coach seats. It plays just about everything: DVDs, CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW), MP3, and JPEG. The player also has built in stereo speakers, but I’m pretty sure that most users will just pop a pair of headphones in.
