Previously, on Coolest Gadgets, we covered the LG GD900, a cellular phone with a transparent keypad. So how can I not report on Sony Ericsson’s Kiki, a phone with a transparent screen?

The answer is that I can’t, so here it is. The problem is that I don’t really have much information about this product, other than it’s got a transparent screen. I do know that the information can be seen on both sides, but I’m not certain if the print, when viewed on the other side, is reversed. You may notice the lack of keypad buttons on the Kiki, but they will show up if the phone is on.

These Pico Mini flash drives might not look like much, as far as flash drives go they’re definitely much more plain than some of the novelty drives.  However, they would get the job done, even if they aren’t made to look like some stuffed animal or random food.  Plus these are highly portable, the tiny drives would be easily to stashed away, but of course, equally easy to lose.

If you enjoy the bright coloration on your iPod Nano, then you might enjoy these tiny speaker docks.  The colors go along with the ones featured on the Nano, so you can match them perfectly or just pick out complimenting colors instead.  Then with your other normal iPods, you’d have an accessory around that does have color, even though the iPod doesn’t.

How often do you see games actually help someone’s medical condition? Sure, the Wii and its waggle controls are definitely much more engaging than just fiddling with buttons on the TV’s remote control, but what if you’re diabetic? The Nintendo DS Didget is here to help, being a brand new peripheral ideal for folks who are hooked to the famous handheld console, and yet making the game fun for diabetics as measuring your blood glucose levels with it on a daily basis will help unlock in-game secrets to help you progress further along the game. It will work only with the DS Phat and DS Lite, since the DSi doesn’t come with the relevant Slot-2 to hold the DS Didget peripheral. The big question is this – what happens after the patient has completed the game, staying faithful to measuring his/her blood glucose levels? Will the sudden end in the game make them revert to their previous non-chalant attitude?

Want to do your bit for the environment? It isn’t as hard as you might think, even for a city folk as the new Brammo Enertia electric bike is able to help you get around various blocks throughout the week without burdening our ozone layer with even more deadly emissions. This $12,000 electric vehicle is no pushover, as it comes with 18 horsepower to move you around, capable of hitting a top speed of 55 mph in the process. It takes a mere three hours to juice up fully, giving you a working 45-mile range. No idea how many people will take this up in the long run due to the relatively high price tag that can net you a nice, comfortable car, but then again being a “hero” of sorts always required some form of sacrifice, right?
