Remember before the computer keyboard became a permanent fixture in your home? Those days, we actually did this thing known as handwriting, churning out character after character of uneven consistency, subject to the quality of our writing instrument and the surface it is written on. With the Zpen, you will be able to digitize just about every stroke you make for posterity on your computer.

Clip the receiver to the top of any piece of paper or notepad and it will record every single stroke the Zpen makes, even if you’re just doodling aimlessly. All you need do is plug the device into your USB drive and it effortlessly transfers your scrawl to your PC. If your handwriting borders on illegible you can even transform it into plain text once it’s loaded. It’s small enough to carry in your pocket, so if you’re ever gripped by idea fever you can clip it to a cocktail napkin and scribble away to your hearts content. It will even recognize drawings! It’s great to finally see handwriting play such a big part in a futuristic device like this.

The Zpen is a rather expensive casual device to own though, as it retails for £99.99.

Those who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s will definitely be able to identify with the icon of that era, Mr. T and the rest of the A Team. Well, if you want to bring back a little bit of nostalgia in your life, then the A Team R/C Van could do just the trick.

Fully-licensed by the A-Team this fully-functioning, ready-to-run van will take you back to those Saturday evenings spent watching the adventures of the world’s most famous fugitives for hire. Get to grips with the twin toggle transmitter and you’ll soon be whizzing around shouting ‘I pity the fool!’ as you attempt to outrun the imaginary forces of Colonel Decker. You can even hum that rousing theme tune as you rescue various saddos from small time crooks. We love it when a van comes together!

You will be able to pick up the A Team R/C Van for £29.95 a pop. Forget about the other jibba-jabba in life when you’re having fun with the A Team R/C Van.

As I tried out the Nextar T30 Portable Media Player, I had a déjà vu experience. I suddenly remember the Philips SA6145 4GB/Go, and saw some startling similarities.

I noticed the menu looked the same with almost identical icons, and the user could chose from Music, Video, FM Radio, Photo Viewer, and Voice Recorder. The only difference is that none of the controls are on the front of the unit, but tucked-in conveniently on the sides. The screen of the T30 is the same size as the SA6145, a 3.5 TFT.

The Philips SA6145 also has the same amount of memory: 4GB. The T30 has the option for upgrading the memory with an SD card reader that can support up to an additional 2GB.

While I’m convinced that the universe is far too large of a place to not have tons of other living beings, I think that some of the alien abductions we hear about are nothing more than then result of an over-active imagination and/or dreaming. The dreaded Greys have become a household term because of pop culture. And more often than not, it’s the Greys who are doing the abduction. Coincidence?

And while you might not experience an abduction without a imagination gone wild, you can still feel like your sleeping experience is non-terrestrial. The Beam Bed is designed to shoot out an array of light beams from under your sleeping surface. It makes your bed resemble a UFO more closely than a comfortable place to rest your head.

Aren’t you glad you gave your girlfriend that Keruve GPS Watch? Now you can track her every movement and see what that harlot is up to at all times. And you can also be issued a massive restraining order. But that’s for another discussion. Let’s stick to the topic at hand, shall we?

Originally marketed to Alzheimer’s patients, the Keruva GPS Watch can also be used for some suspicious privacy invasion, as well as tracking your kids in scarily close detail. The device looks just like a normal watch, except the user can’t remove it without having access to the proper mechanism. So once it’s on, it stays on until your stalker wants to remove it.

The pizza is set out on the table, your buddies are all pumped for a long-night of poker, and you have to go and ruin it by spilling a bottle of soda all over the cards and the food. You and your clumsy hands never fail to drop the soda bottle. And up until this point you’ve been able to hide the reason why you always wait for someone else to pour for you.

This 2-Liter Bottle Pour Thing makes sure that you never have a nasty liquid spill again. To pour your drink without causing a mess, just place the bottle in the Thing and use two fingers to pour the soda. We imagine this can save some nasty spills from kids and small girly-handed men alike.

Sure, we have covered Parrot products before, with their MINIKIT, NFC, and Digital Frame products, and so it stands to reason they would make Bluetooth Hands-Free kits. One of their latest products is the MK6100, which allows for easy, hands-free Bluetooth compatibility.

Considering the new laws that have been passed in certain countries that require hands-free wireless devices for communication in automobiles, the MK6100 comes at an opportune time. One of its main features is that it allows users to establish a phone conversation in a vehicle without the use of a phone. The pairing has been made very simple, and all it requires is hitting the green button, and the call is picked up.
