Magnetic Polaframes make your photos retro
Want to introduce a little bit of retro into your photos? You can easily do that with the Magnetic Polaframes, where this £9.99 purchase will be able to make your regular 4” x 6” photos look as though they were some sort of proper old-school Polaroids. Just what does the Magnetic Polaframes offer? Well, they are actually pretty ingenious in the construction, being magnetic frames that can be used to stick photos to your fridge or filing cabinet. What makes it stand out from the rest would be the chunky white borders that actually make the photos within look as though they were Polaroids that hail from a different time era. To make matters more interesting, they even ship with an erasable pen for you to write captions on the chunky lower border, now how about that?
In Your Own Voice Storyteller
There is just something about little ones who want to hear the sound of their parents at night just before they head off into dreamland. For those who are parents, how many times have you shared a bedtime story over and over again with your kids during their formative years? We are sure that you might find it repetitive at times (especially when you’re tired), so why not let technology offer a little assistance when you’re feeling rather under the weather? Enter the In Your Own Voice Storyteller which will enhance your child’s reading experience, as it will play back a story in the familiar voice of a caregiver.
You (or others who are close to your little one) can records passages, or perhaps even the whole bedtime story using nothing but a pen-shaped voice recorder that is synchronized to a series of easy-peel stickers which are attached to a book’s pages. Each of the 600 included stickers are encoded with a unique pattern of dots (similar to a bar code), and will be associated with a voice recording stored on the pen’s built-in memory. All your kid needs to do is point the pen at stickers placed throughout a book to hear recordings. Retailing for $79.95, it boasts forty stickers with pre-recorded sound effects, where among them include a laughing baby, meowing cat, ringing phone, ticking clock and fire engine among others.
PDP’s Epic Mickey Peripherals for the Wii
While I was at E3 in Los Angeles last summer, Disney Interactive had their best game-face on with several of their holiday games on display, including Epic Mickey.
Epic Mickey is kind of a dark game from the Mouse House. It stars the big mouse himself as he ventures into a Wasteland with a magical paintbrush. In the game, Mickey must “break free from the Mad Doctor’s clutches, set out in pursuit of the mysterious rabbit Oswald, and defeat the Evil Blot.
PDP (Performance Designed Products) is prepared for this game with Epic Mickey video game accessories. You might notice the Evil Blot in the top left photo. This is a Wiimote Controller charger, and it has a collectible design along with a removable Mickey Mouse Figure. The head lights up, and it has its batteries included for giving the Wiimote some added juice.
Of course, what use is a collectible Wiimote if you don’t have a Nunchuk? That is what that paintbrush is. It was designed to look like Epic Mickey’s weapon of choice as he brings color to an otherwise dark world. I got a chance to use it, and it is real wood with a plastic tip. It is a definitely unique shape for a Nunchuk.

Lego Factory Project (2.0) is the last Lego project you will need to build
This is a Lego factory from Legoland, but after the jump, you can see a video of an amazing Lego factory.
This Lego factory is very similar to the MakerLegoBot, a Lego creation that we reported on a while ago that has the ability to make individual Lego projects.
If you watch the video, you will see that this is the MakerLegoBot on crack. In fact, the Lego Factory Project (version 2.) is a downright Lego warehouse designed for some serious building.

Hands on with the AirCurve Play from Griffin Technology
It has been a while since we covered the AirCurve iPhone dock from Griffin Technologies, and I just had a chance to try out the company’s update for the iPhone 4, the AirCurve Play.
The AirCurve Play works like the Horn Stand. It is a device designed to increase the volume of the iPhone 4, but without any electronics that are found within most iPod/iPhone speaker docks.
The AirCurve Play states that it can increase the external volume by about 10 decibels. At first I wondered if that was going to make a difference, because the Horn Stand says it increases sound by 13 db. I barely heard the difference in that device.

Cobra iRadar – Cobra Marries the iPhone
I have always used a radar detector, not that I’m a big speeder or anything, it’s more that I am always late, and to be honest, usually in a bit of a hurry. I find that how much of a hurry I can allow myself to be in, weighs quite heavily on the reputation and reliability of the radar detector I have at the time.
Well, let’s just set the alarm clock for a half hour later as Cobra introduces iRadar, the cool new detector that works in tandem with your iPhone giving you 360 degree protection against speed and red light camera violations.

Hands on with the DEXIM AV Dock Station with Remote Control
Some of us want to watch videos from our iPod/iPhone on our regular television, and the DEXIM AV Dock Station with Remote Control is one way of going about it.
I got a chance to try it out for myself, and I found it pretty easy to set up. Not being too technically-minded, I am assuming that if I can set it up, so can everyone else.
I connected it to my flatscreen TV, and then to the dock. The dock had to be plugged into the wall, and then it was time for putting in an iDevice with one of the nine inserts. In my case, it was my 2nd Generation iPod Touch. I managed to get some YouTube videos on my television with some clear resolution.
