Flip Ultra 3 for smooth shots of movies
If you think that you’ve got a pretty good shot at being a budding film maker, then the Flip Ultra 3 might be just the device for you. Available in either black or white colors, this camcorder which is going for £159.99 is touted to be the simplest and easiest to use. I can vouch for that, owning the original Flip, and while the resolution of that model is nothing to shout about, it certainly is a snap to use. This is a third generation bad boy, boasting High Definition resolution that should be able to preserve your memories in clarity and detail for a long, long time to come.
With 8GB of internal memory, it can store up to two hours of 60fps 720p HD videos in MPG4 format. Zoom is available as well, but that maxes out at a rather pitiful 2x. Powered by a trio of AAA batteries, I’d suggest you stick to rechargeables if you’re going to use the Flip Ultra 3 for a long, long time to come. Just as well, there is a built-in USB connector that makes it a snap to transfer videos over to a computer whenever it is full – perfect for travelers since you need not tote around another pesky USB cable.
8pen Android App helps you text really fast, with just one hand
Some of you might remember when we reported on Swype, a very fast way to do one-handed texting. Swype works by putting out the QWERTY symbols on the touchscreen, and then connecting the dots to spell out what you mean.
This 8pen takes the keyboard and completely reinvents it. It essentially uses one dot, and then responds to the user’s finger movements. Basically, you start dragging your finger off the dot in a certain direction, like you are setting an analog clock. Your finger always arrives at that same spot, but what letter you entered depends on what path you take.
There is a video of it after the jump if you want to see it in action. You can clearly see that you would have to utterly learn how to type again in order to text with this guy, but 8pen says that it would be “easy to learn”.

Urbee, the 3D printed car
This is Urbee, not to be confused with Herbie, a sentient Volkswagen from Walt Disney.
Urbee could easily be as unique as the Love Bug, as it is the only car ever to have its frame, including the glass, made from a 3D printer. I don’t know about the engine or the other inner workings.
The two-seat car was made by 3D printing Stratasys and engineering company Kor Ecoogic. Urbee is most certainly not ready for mass-production as yet, but it certainly looks like it was made for the future. You know, that really cool future that we see in movies.

Shoot this light out with the Bang!lamp
When it comes turning an appliance off from a distance, you could use some Universal remote, or even the Clapper. Or you could use this Bang! lamp.
The lamp can be turned off with a special gun-shaped remote. All you need to do is point it at the lamp and pull the trigger. Not only does this “kill the light”, but the lamp shade will do a tilt thing, like it was hit with a bullet.
Of course, you might not want to leave this lying around when someone who is pro-gun control comes around. Of course, it is a plain white gun, and I don’t know how many real plain white pistols are out there.

Sesame Street Video USBs are ready for purchase
Everyone loves Sesame Street, right? Well, that might be a pretty sweeping statement to make, but frankly, with so many characters from the childrens’ educational show, surely something about those lovable hand puppets will appeal to you. Who can forget Ernie and Bert’s extremely close friendship (which some say border on a relationship), as well as the Count who can’t stop, well, counting? If you want to relive your fond childhood memories of Sesame Street, you can now do so by picking up Sesame Street Video USBs from the nearest Toys R Us store, subject to availability, of course. Alternatively, your less than deep interest in this series doesn’t mean you can’t fill up someone’s Christmas stocking this holiday season with it, right?

Sony Internet TV – Now I never have to get off the couch
There goes my promise to start exercising, just when I was feeling motivated, Sony introduces Internet TV with a Blu-ray disc player powered by Google TV.
Now I can search for whatever I want, anywhere on the Internet or TV and I can actually cruise the net, while I am watching television. Its not that I don’t do that already, its just that having everything on one integrated screen is just so darn exciting. I imagine myself updating my Facebook page while watching the news, or helping my daughter with her homework and watching football at the same time, mostly I see myself watching Formula 1 and running the live timing screen on the same display with Dual View.
