Think back for a moment on how you used to doodle your crush’s name on your desk back in school. Just like how kids these days seem to be all we weren’t, times have changed. Our next generation are now able to mark their territory in a non-permanent electronic fashion thanks to the LED Magnetic Digital Graffiti.

This set of 20 different LEDs each has a battery and a magnet attached. Pull the tab to activate, then toss them on any ferrous metal surface…they stick and glow brightly announcing to everyone in the vicinity that you were indeed there. But make sure you stick the LED Magnetic Digital Graffiti on stuff you own, or are able to remove them later… because gone are the days when you can post funny battery powered LED signs all over Boston and get away with it.

Bear in mind this is not a toy and it contains tiny magnets that could be a choking hazard. Each package will come with 20 different LEDs to get your creative juices flowing, comprising of a quartet of red, blue, green, orange and rainbow cycling LEDs, respectively. The LED Magnetic Digital Graffiti can be yours for $9.99.

We need to be entertained these days no matter where we are – just take a look at the local TV channel and tell me you can’t flip through more than 20 channels without going through each one more than once? Well, just in case you can’t have enough of TV, here’s the Portable Digital TV that comes with an integrated DVB-T receiver that enables you to catch shows on Freeview TV no matter where you are, as long as there is a signal. Pictures will be shown in crystal clear format on its 4.3″ LCD display, and a miniSD memory card slot enables you to view downloaded video files (as long as they come in MP4 format), listen to your favorite songs, or use it as a portable digital photo album. Touch sensitive controls make it a snap to have full control of all its settings in a classy manner, while the rechargeable battery offers up to 3.5 hours of viewing time in TV mode, 7.5 hours in video mode and 42 hours in audio mode. Would you sacrifice portable TV and get all that and more with an iPod? That depends on whether you think this is worth £139.95 or not.

AT&T is currently offering its Pantech C630 cell phone that comes in a candybar format, featuring specifications that you normally won’t expect from a $39 handset (tethered to a 2-year contract, of course). Underneath the C630’s hood, you will be pleasantly surprised to find the following :-

• 3G connectivitiy
• aGPS and AT&T Navigator
• Bluetooth support
• microSD memory card slot
• 1.3 megapixel camera
• AT&T Video Share capabilities
• AT&T Mobile Music

It is nice to see deviated number keys that glow white when depressed for a change, while the C630 is also made from a mixture of materials including a rubberized back-panel, making it much harder to slip. As for the mirrored screen, you might want to get a screen protector for that, while a small joystick pad offers an even cooler user experience.

The GPS Homing Device is weather-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor use and is powered by a couple of AAA batteries which offer up to 20 hours of operation. The GPS Homing Device can be yours this holiday season for $79.95.
