At some point or the other we all brag about some really sexy keychains that we own. But then how many of these are actually helpful when it comes to using your key to open your door on a dark stormy night. This cool LED keychain comes in the shape of a mouse. It's all shiny and sparkly all over and has two brilliant LEDs for eyes that provide with light in dark moments. You don't need to turn to a torch or a cigarette lighter anymore for help.

Here's a cool concept product by Charles Windlin. Called the Watch Ring, it is basically a ring with a display screen that runs along its body. With a brilliant digital display, the ring also has a lower layer of gold that comes with it. I liked the design since it can be used by both sexes with equal elegance and style. There will just be the issue of treating the ring well, since I feel that it won't necessarily be as tough as a normal ring that is subject to a lot of rough treatment.

The Bacon Wallet appears rather delicious but isn't actually edible. It can stun your butcher the next time you go to purchase some fresh bacon. Imagine digging into meat and pulling out some wads of unstained cash. Yeah! It is going to stun them for sure. Style statements never tasted better. I wonder how vegetarians would take this new release from What On Earth. Just curious, but then what had the makers thought of when they decided to produce eggless bacon!

One would look at these sun glasses and think of them to be just a pair of ordinary rimless glasses, not denying the sex appeal in them. However, looking at them a little more closely will reveal why they are here on gizmodude. These come with a 512 MB memory that can store around 120 songs. In addition to music storage, your glasses can also store data files. It provides with a fantastic contrast controlling system that can adjust the shade of your glasses depending on how well lit your surroundings are. If you are curious about how the glasses can actually acquire all the AAC, MP3 and WMA files then the answer is a High Speed USB cable that comes along with it.

I know he owns a lot of slim gadgets and I know that he liked to carry them around. But then why should it be attached to a darn bottle? I mean we have other things that are a lot cooler like gloves, cargos, bike handles and many more things that look good with gizmos strapped all around them. Well, since i decided to review this one let's say something nice. The bottle has this smart indentation that allows a slim gizmo like an iPod or a really slim cellphone.

If you are a i-hate-to-get-wet-in-the-rains kind of person then makes sure you own this umbrella. Also known as the Weather Forecasting Umbrella (the name says it all); this little genius is a perfect companion for those suffering from Hydrophobia. The handle has a radio receiver that is inbuilt into it. Whenever it senses some weird weather condition, it triggers of the LED on the base that flashes. Thus you know when to get the umbrella out. The radio frequencies on which the signals are received are proprietary so that the readings aren’t affected by external disturbances from other wireless carrier waves.

A small and compact appliance from the future often ends up on our shelves and then we marvel at the high price. Similarly we have the Spycatcher Glasses that remind me a lot of Tom Cruise’s eyewear in some MI flick. Owning this can provide you with close competition against James Bond. The glasses are stylishly sexy and have the camera concealed somewhere between the glasses. It facilitates with both audio and video recording of a pretty good quality. It can record either NTSC or PAL with 350 lines of horizontal resolution but at a low resolution of just about 510×492 for NTSC and 500×582 for PAL. You can blame the extremely compact 1/4″ Interline CCD. There’s also an electric shutter that goes from 1/50 - 1/100,000.

How about a dock that actually connects you iPod to a DVD Player, a Camcorder or a VCR? Isn’t it the ultimate example of compatibility and of all the useful accessories that the iPod has enjoyed ever since its inception? It sure is a lot friendlier in this case. With a simple touch of a button, the iCube iRec can record movies directly from a source to your iPod. Based on the desired quality and space available for recording, users can adjust the settings for quality of the recorded video accordingly.

Here’s a pretty smart and well thought-over concept for frequent travelers and weak legs. The Chair Suitcase is a suitcase that can convert itself into a very portable and easy to carry chair. So just in case you are subjected to long hours in a queue or end up waiting in a place with no decent seating available, then all you have to do is simply shuffle this little suitcase around and have a very comfortable chair so that your tired legs can take a break. This of course will happen not without drawing attention from envious co-travelers who are subjected to the same patience game from which you have comfortably escaped.

Archiving home videos aren’t a pain anymore. With the DVD Xpress Home Video Archiver you can directly capture and convert videos into DVD (MPEG-2), SVCD, VCD (MPEG-1), MPEG-4 and DivX formats. You can connect it using the USB 2.0 connection to your PC or laptop and enjoy your precious home videos later. You can actually make movies for viewing with your PSP and iPod. You can also adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness and Hue during the process of recording and use the CapWiz application for direct recoding.

Sanyo’s BC200 Rear View Backup Camera System gives motorists, especially those who maneuver trucks, pick-ups and other large vehicles, a great new feel and control of what’s happening behind. The camera is small and compact and mounts at the rear of your vehicle. It uses a wide angle lens so that in spite of the camera being place so low, you manage to get a fish eye view of things. However, Sanyo have missed out on certain aspects sorely, especially the idea of not providing displays with the systems (however promising compatibility with existing in-car displays) doesn’t really seem to be an idea that will pay off.

Logitech have stepped up the comforts of the VX Mouse by introducing a better, improved VX Nano. The VS did make a name for itself and this one seems to be following suit. It can be powered by up a couple of AAA batteries. Being wireless does make it a hot favorite among notebookers. And there isn’t a lot to worry about losing your RF adapter since the transmitting station is a mere 8mm once jacked into your USB port. Along with the standard left and right click controls and the scroll wheel, you also have forward and back shortcuts and a shortcut for search. It looks pretty cool too and goes well with any desktop or laptop machine.

Just like cellphones and LCD screens that keep getting slimmer with passing time, we have the G4 Slim Mouse. The makers, Power Positioning (2P) claim that this is the world’s thinnest mouse. 94mm x 53mm x 5mm seem to be pretty gorgeous stats indeed for a slim beauty like this one. It comes in blue, ivory, cherry and silver colors. The lift and write buttons are as flat as a laptop’s touchpad. Everything from the mouse to its connectivity setup seems to be neatly packed. The mouse itself comes in a neat packing box and the USB cable (using which, it runs) can be housed in the mouse itself. Once you draw the cable, the mouse has to be put into actual use by dividing it into two halves. Being a 800 dpi mouse you can expect it to be pretty obedient over most surfaces. The scrolling facility is pretty cool too.

Say hello to the amazing Sony Walkman NWD – B100. It comes with an eternally helpful Auto Transfer software and a voice recorder. The model is accompanied by the NWD-B103 and NWD-B103F that come with a gigabyte of storage and the NWD-B105 and NWD-105F that have 2GB storage capacity. The NWD – B100 seems to be all set for a European debut from next month in white, black and violet colors. The NWD-B103F, B105F come with FM radio functionality while all models boast 6-mode equalizers.

Want to look cool? How about a 2 GB USB memory stick that comes with a wooden exterior? The device doesn’t require any external power sources, being self powered and has plug and play functionality. The wooden USB memory strap works well with Windows - 98, - ME, - 2000, -XP and Mac OS 9.0. The wooden touch and texture is real enough for one to mistake it for a twig. It provides support for USB 2.0. Well that isn’t just about it. You also get a pretty cool strap to go with it.
