This cruel and unusual popcorn maker is excessively deceiving and did I mention cruel?  With it looking like a jukebox as it is, you would hope it would at least have speakers and a spot to plug in your iPod.  However, all it does is sit there and pop you popcorn.  I have a microwave for that function and it doesn’t even take up extra space.  As cool as this Pop-O-Matic is, we all know where it would end up in our kitchen.  That really deep dark spooky cabinet where you put the small appliances you rarely use.

After spending all day in the pool with all that chlorine, a quick rinse before laying out in the sun would be nice. Especially if it meant you didn’t have to walk through the house and get everything between you and the shower soaked. The best thing about this solar powered shower is that it is heated. So you won’t have to freeze, as if you aren’t cold enough by getting out of the water. Sadly boys, I’m afraid that although as usual it features a cute girl posing underneath the downpour of water, she is not included in the price tag.

With TipExchange technology being used, consumers are able to use a solitary charging cable for more than 2,000 devices as long as they have the right tip to change with, doing away with the need for customized manufacturer accessories that come with each new device upgrade. Gomadic is offering both bean bag and cup-holder mounts that feature independent adjusting arms, swivel supports, a no-scratch backing, and a quick release button.

The FiiO headphone amp is a pretty interesting device despite not looking like much at first glance. Most people will probably even think that this is a crap device, but hear me out for a moment. Apparently, the FiiO amp offers some pretty decent audio quality, and being slightly larger than the AAA battery that powers it, the portability it another big plus in my books. At a mere $8.50 a pop, this low price would seal the deal for me. If you’re one who listens to most of your music through a pair of headphones, then getting the FiiO headphone amp sounds like the logical step to take before you upgrade to a more powerful pair.

Powerlink has rolled out a 3-in-1 Battery Pack/Data Sync/Flash Drive that seems to be able to do just about anything. First off, we have an “emergency” charger that comes in pretty handy these days considering the huge amount of gizmos we tote around. In addition, it doubles up as a 2GB USB flash drive, perfect for you to carry even more personal files with you wherever you go (just like USB ports, you can never have enough memory in your possession). Too bad it doesn’t clean your home for you, as this wonder unit will retail for $49.99 a pop.

If you want to get better at golf, why not obtain some help from the Spider precision putter from TaylorMade? The company is proud to claim that the clubface itself is extremely well-balanced, that shots hit off the toe or heel end up closer to the cup compared to any of its competitors. It is interesting to note that tests have shown even misfired putts on purpose do defy logic and head nearer the cup instead. Move over, Tiger Woods, with the Spider precision putter, I’m going to see you off at St. Andrews next year.
