iball3 helps with your ball control

by Edwin - on June 30, 2011

Wait a minute here – the title might sound a little bit naughty, but rest assured, the iball3 has nothing to do with bedroom antics. This £16.99 purchase is actually a handheld puzzle game that is surprisingly simple, but in its simplicity, it blows you away by being infuriatingly tricky, making it a lethal mental combination which makes it extremely hard to put down.

This tiny blue ball sports half a dozen light-up buttons, where each of them might be red, blue or green. Whenever you press them, they will change their color, although not in a predictable cycle. The whole idea of the game is to figure out just which sequence you should press them in, so that they all transform into the same color. This is one baffling, maddening and thoroughly addictive ball! Powered by a trio of LR44 batteries, you can even submit your high scores to an online leaderboard for that added competitive edge.

Dr Who Ride On Dalek

by Edwin - on June 30, 2011

Dr Who fans, here is something you might want to get your for kids – especially if they have yet to find the same love as you for the TV series. Supposing you fork out £199.99 for this Dr Who Ride On Dalek, which hopefully, will make them see what a cool parent you are, and turning their allegiance from Glee to a much more serious TV series.

This Dalek body is composed from a mixture of ballistic nylon/laminated rubberised polyvinyl which is soft and tactile to the touch. Basically, getting around in this Ride On Dalek shouldn’t leave any doubts in your mind – it is very durable, structurally safe, tear resistant and easy to inflate and assemble. Standing tall at 128cm with 360 degree movement, the Dr Who Ride On Dalek boasts of 10 sounds and phrases, lights within so that you need not ride in the dark, a 6v rechargeable battery, and a maximum speed of 3km per hour – this makes sure wayward kids who are thinking of using this as an escape ride won’t go very far.

Pedal Powered School Bus ready to combat childhood obesity

by Mark R - on June 30, 2011

I believe that I have said it before, but children have all this energy that adults actually need. I figure that you might as well tap into that energy in this pedal powered school bus!

This bus, powered by Flintstones Kids technology, is made in the Netherlands by De Cafe Racer. It has room for about ten kids, and they will be put to work.

Oh man, this would solve so many problems with unruly kids on the schools bus! Just try and make those spitballs now, junior! Yeah, those kids should have both hands on the handlebars.

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide finally announced

by Edwin - on June 29, 2011

T-Mobile has at long last, announced their latest myTouch 4G Slide smartphone which will be part of T-Mobile’s exclusive line of myTouch devices. The myTouch 4G Slide is said to deliver the most advanced camera of any smartphone with zero shutter lag – now this is something that is surprising since Android-powered smartphones tend to fall behind the iPhone when it comes to camera technology.

Having said that, you can’t just waltz into any T-Mobile store at the moment to bring home a myTouch 4G Slide since it is expected to be available only in July – now, now, that isn’t too far away, is it? It is already the end of June, and you can sniff July out around the corner. The naming convention of the myTouch 4G Slide also gives the game away when it comes to 4G connectivity support, so you know what you’re getting with this smartphone right from the get go.

Jakks Pacific Plug-and-Play Video Games

by Mark R - on June 29, 2011

We have reported on items from Jakks Pacific before, and I had a chance to try out three of their Plug and Play video games. All three of them plug into the television with white and yellow composite cables, and they are all pretty fun.

The first is the Pac-man Retro Arcade, which is a joystick that brings back the goodness of the arcade. Not only is Pac-man available, but all sorts of games like Xevious, Galaga, Dig Dug, and about ten more. I found that it was definitely bringing me back to the old Atari 2600 days, but with better graphics. Hit the jump to see the other two gaming systems.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 50s to capture impromptu moments

by Edwin - on June 29, 2011



Yes, we know that summer is the time when you spend your time outdoors instead of being cooped up at home, zapping aliens and saving the earth yet again from another extra-terrestrial threat. For those who know that summer days can be extremely fleeting, it makes perfect sense to capture all those wonderful moments using a camera. Granted, most of us already have a digital camera in some way or another (phones count too, you know), but how about turning back the clock and going old school for once?

We are talking about the Fujifilm Instax Mini 50S, where it will be able to deliver beautiful, high quality instant photo prints. Being the latest addition to the popular Instax family, the Instax Mini 50S will rely on Instax Mini Instant Film that results in credit card sized photo prints, where these can then be shot anywhere and developed on the spot – letting you experience a retro take when it comes to sharing memories on-the-spot with friends and family.

Contort USB Hub

by Edwin - on June 29, 2011

This is one USB hub that has most probably gone through the rigors of yoga for years, hence being able to contort in ways that were previously unimaginable. This 4-port USB hub and cord manager intends to fulfill its task of protecting your devices from accidental damage, and can even expand to accommodate additional cables if the need arises. For $24.99 a pop, you will end up with a four-port USB hub and cord manager that boasts of a flexible neck which will protect all your USB devices from accidental damage. The neck itself sports 360-degree mobility, while built-in cord management with a quartet of anchors will help corral your cables. Definitely a must-buy for those who are neat freaks.

by Edwin - on June 29, 2011

Kitchein-meisters would definitely love to have a well-equipped kitchen, and for those who do plenty of frying, you ought to have a spatula collection not to be laughed at. Well, where are you supposed to stash away those spatulas when not in use? Being the organized person that you are, behold, the Spatula Docking Station! This $39.95 purchase is a modular spatula system which will hold up to five of those essential kitchen tools in an organized manner and in a readily accessible stance, taking up a mere 6″ square of countertop space.

Each spatula head will be attached to the included handle, and can be removed with but a button touch – similar to how blade razors work. They will be stashed away neatly in a holder with a footprint which is no larger than a CD case to further help reduce kitchen clutter. You will find three different sized hard plastic spatulas (two with slots and one without), a slotted spoon, and a narrow, flexible silicone spatula in the entire deal.
