Join Wood Digital Scale
Most bathroom scales these days come in some sort of futuristic, metal design, but this digital scale takes on a more natural approach being encased in wood. I know that wood and water don’t really go down well together in the long run, but I believe this has been treated so that it won’t rot in the damp bathroom
Who would believe a simple platform scale could add a touch of elegance to a bedroom or bath? These scales do, because they’re crafted of a sturdy wood composite in assorted finishes: choose cherry, birch, rattan or teak finishes with wood veneers or antique white. And with an easy-to-read digital readout, auto shut-off feature, non-skid, pivoting feet and low-maintenance, wipe-clean surface, they’re every bit as practical as they are handsome. Uses two 3V lithium batteries (included).
It will cost you $59.95 to make such a fashionable home statement.
SteriPEN JourneyLCD Handheld Water Purifier
If you’re a frequent backpacker and love to adventure across exotic locations around the world, then might I suggest you get the SteriPEN JourneyLCD Handheld Water Purifier? After all, this device helps you take the guesswork out of the water purification process by using universal symbols.
Journey’s integrated LCD screen displays the user’s dose selection (1/2 liter or 1 liter), battery status and countdown timer. The LCD screen also tracks the number of uses and signals when lamp usage approaches its life limit. At 10,000 cycles, lamp life for SteriPEN JourneyLCD reaches a new high (purify 1 liter 4 times a day for nearly 7 years!). Like all SteriPENs, the Journey is Fast (48 seconds for 0.5 L (16 oz.)), Light (128g /4.5 oz.), Effective, and even easier with it’s innovative LCD screen. The Journey mates with the SteriPEN pre-filter and is sized between our Adventurer and Classic. Journey ships with two non-rechargeable (disposable) CR123 batteries.
You will be able to pick up this nifty traveling gizmo for $129.95 a pop.

Hop-On 3G phone going cheap
Hop-On’s HOP1809 3G handset is going cheap – cheaper than the 3G iPhone (which retails for $199) at under $125, although I don’t think it will have the same appeal as that fruity wonder.
The HOP1809 compared to the iPhone is smaller in length and width. With true 3G technology, the HOP1809 offers users a wider range of services than ever before. This includes video calls, wireless data, and faster delivery speeds on both the down and uplink, all in a cool looking, lightweight aluminum sleek phone.
You will be able to hold video calls with the HOP1809 since there is a front camera view finder. The HOP1809 will debut in Q3 this year. I don’t know about you, but price ain’t everything as people do want style as well, you know.

The Dark Knight Edition Phone
One great thing I love about the advent of CGI in movies is the ability to bring to life characters in a lifelike manner that were not possible before – just take a look at the recent slew of superhero movies and you’ll get what I mean. Another summer blockbuster (or at least that’s what I think it’ll be) would be the highly anticipated theatrical release of The Dark Knight this July 18th, and the cell phone mogul from Finland, Nokia, has collaborated with Verizon Wireless to come up with an exclusive limited “The Dark Knight Edition” cell phone in the form of the Nokia 6205.

Zpen from Dane-Elec
Pens are still an essential business tool to have these days – they’re pretty handy when you need to jot down something quickly and don’t happen to have a computer or notebook to fire up Notepad in time. In addition, pens are still the main method of getting your John Hancock down in legal documents, although there are certain companies that use fingerprint readers to take the next step. The Zpen from Dane-Elec brings a new dimension to the humble pen by elevating handwritten notes to the digital age. This is a wireless digital pen that is able to transfer handwritten notes as well as drawings over to a computer within seconds, doing away with the need to scan a piece of paper.
