Verizon Wireless announces Motorola Droid Pro
Verizon Wireless does already have a slew of Android-powered smartphones in their arsenal, and they aren’t going to stop there just yet. Well, the latest device that is coming out from their stables would be the Motorola Droid Pro, being the first Android-based smartphone which is specially optimized for business use.
It will be available as a pre-sale order from select Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and online at www.verizonwireless.com from November 9th onwards, although there are some reports floating around the Internet that people have already placed a purchase order – and not a pre-order, so this oversight might be something that could cost a person his or her job. Well, on to the nitty gritty in the extended post then!

Duel Combat for some fun times
They say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Well, it is more often than not acknowledge that big boy’s toys tend to cost a bomb, so we do wonder whether there are toys for the yuppie generation which are easy on the wallet as well as fun. Hmmm, seems to be the very same criteria when it comes to buying toys for children, eh? The £29.95 Duel Combat offers something different, coming in the form of the ultimate inflatable gladiator fighting game. If you have a tiff with your best mate or brother, why not duke it out with the Duel Combat? It will not only help you let out your aggression in a non-painful manner, you will also be able to de-stress in the process. After all, when you’re suited up, you can’t really cheat – it is a pure fight to the finish, letting the victor lay out the terms of surrender to the vanquished, including bringing out the garbage or looking after the kids. Each purchase comes with a couple of inflatable podiums and two inflatable weapons, with the use of safety head gear highly recommended.
Subzero Warm Breath Mask
No, wearing this doesn’t turn you into some sort of cold blooded ninja from the Mortal Kombat series, but rather, it is meant to help you face the upcoming winter without feeling too uncomfortable. This fleece mask is preferred by high-altitude mountaineers and Antarctic scientists because it humidifies and warms winter air for comfortable breathing. There is a special ventilation chamber which allows wearers to inhale full, unhindered breaths while making sure a small amount of heated, humid exhalation is trapped – this is so that a comfortable, fully oxygenated “microclimate” will remain within the mask with up to 80 percent humidity and temperatures 40° F to 60° F warmer than outside air.
Apparently, medical studies by the American College of Sports Medicine do point towards the benefits of such a microclimate being healthier for the lungs, since excessive exposure to cold, dry air can trigger asthmatic symptoms. Boasting medical-grade, microbe-resistant polyurethane in the chamber which will bond with humidity in the air, it helps keep moisture off the face while preventing fog on glasses and goggles. The mask itself is highly breathable, featuring wind-resistant Polartec fleece with hook-and-loop flaps that are shaped to fit comfortably over goggles and helmets. Make someone happy this winter for $59.95.
Hands on with GiiNii’s new 8-inch Digital Photo Frame
It has been a while since I reported on GiiNii Digital Photo Frame, and the 8-inch “All-in-One” True Video Picture Frame looks nearly identical to one I reviewed a while ago.
It does have similar features like the 8-inch back-lit LED panel with 800 x 600 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Pictures and videos can be loaded through the 6-in-1 card reader (SD, MMC, MS, MS Pro, MS Duo, and xD-Picture), USB flash drive, or transferred directly from a computer via USB to mini-USB into the 2GB of internal memory.

Flyrad is one extreme motorized unicycle with rollerblades
Clearly, I am not “extreme” enough to try something like the Flyrad.
I admit that I once had a skateboard, but I was never one of those Thrasher guys with sidewalk burns on their legs. I guess I always tried to be too safe on the board.
The Flyrad is made for those who really want to try something really risky, and you can see how it works. The user has a motorized unicycle which he or she keeps in front of him. This provides the propulsion required to move the rollerbladed user anywhere the pavement will take them.

Hands on with the Hexbug Nano
We have reported on the Hexbugs, as well as the Hexbug Nano, and I had a chance to try out the latter personally.
The Hexbug Nano is an electronic toy that is not very expensive, and could easily be the big stocking stuffer for this holiday. The good news is that they come with their own battery, and these two-inch long toys are powered by one of those batteries that you would put in a watch. I have no idea how long it would run for.
The Hexbug nano works with some sort of vibration thing in it, which makes it scurry across a flat surface like it was a real roach. This also gives it the power to flip on its front when its put on its back.
