Here’s a tiny, miniscule digital photo frame that can take up as little space on your desk as possible and still remind you of that special someone while you rack your brains at work. Measuring a mere 1.5 inches, the frame can hold about 2 MB of data and is compatible with Windows Vista. The pink one pictured here is a bit too girly even for mainstream feminists. Luckily we have these available in more colors including while, green and blue. The white one is sure to look like an egg. Just make sure you keep it at your desk only since taking it to the kitchen may result a catastrophe.]]>
I hate doing this but hell yeah, it’s a compulsion. Pardon me as I announce that this little frame is available only in Japan and costs about $36.

This cool iPhone stand is for those who like sharing their media with others but hate holding it in their hands while the lengthy Scooby Doo spoof plays. You and your friends can now enjoy this with a swanky new stand for the iPhone that’s based on the bat theme (mind you, it’s got nothing to do with Batman). It can hold the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod touch and other phones that provide landscape videos. The stand is made of plastic and can be folded to a pocket friendly size. It is available in three colors: translucent, white, and black. Sharing your videos with everyone isn't a pain anymore.]]>
It can hold your device at angles from 0 to 30 degrees. It comes for just under $4 and is thin enough to fit into your wallet.

From the host of game simulations that take you into a different world, we have this new offering called the SX02. It is a simulator for the popular flying game called Flight Simulator. So whether you passed the pilot test or not, this one can take you into the skies by keeping your feet still rooted to the ground. The idea is to create a complete flying experience with surround sound speakers and surround screens that give you an all round view of who and what is around you as you soar thousands of feet above the ground. It can also be welcomed into pilot training institutes to give aspiring pilots a real feel of what it is like up there.]]>
As one would guess it, the SX02 Flight Simulator is the product of intense research. There’s little wonder then that it costs $9,500.

Who said that you can’t combine the terms, sleek and washer-cum-dryer? GE just did otherwise and that too with the brilliance of technology. In addition to the good looks, the washers provide interesting features like front load of clothes, stain treatment mechanisms that can be pre-programmed, some rather sophisticated controls and a cool new feature that’s called a pedestal. This is however an optional feature and it is hidden deep inside the player. The pedestal offers an insane storage capacity for six months worth of detergent and fabric softener. These are dispensed as and when required in the appropriate quantities.]]>
The GE Profile Frontload Washers and Dryers are all about sophisticated household equipment so a price tag of $1200 (and above) isn't exactly surprising. Besides it also has a host of useful features in it.

Here’s something that can serve your purpose without too much of a fuss and still keep you looking stylish. It is a cooler that can be carried with you wherever you go so that your beer is chilled when you want it. All you have to do is to plug it into the cigarette lighter compartment of your car. The bad news for bad-ass roadies is that this cool cooler can accommodate a maximum of two beer cans or a half liter bottle. It is made of durable nylon and has one corner that’s made of aluminum. Don’t miss the sexy Porsche logo that’s rather less prominent on the bag.]]>
The Porsche Design Mini Coolbag costs $75. Well, I don’t really like the capacity but the name “Porsche” seem to be rather imposing when it attaches itself to products.

Here’s something that’s going to put that familiar grin on the faces of LEGO fans. They have had some share of surprises in recent times with everything from iPod speaker systems, docking systems and bathtubs shaped like their favorite past time. This cool backpack is a new addition to the collectables of LEGO shaped items. The backpack is shaped like a rectangle block and the circles can be used as compartments for storing different things. The bag is a good carry along to adventure trips and if you’re going for a picnic. The LEGO backpack costs just $24. It’s for those folks who love segregating the things they carry along. And hey, not to forget, our beloved and over-privileged LEGO fans.

For those who haven’t heard much about them, Resource Revival is a great concept of bringing forth innovative designs that are created by reusing used cycle parts. These cool clocks we have here are just one among the many recycled parts that have been put to some good use. They also have some cool retro bottle openers that are made using bicycle parts. These bring about the dawn of a new era of collectables for bicycle enthusiasts who have cravings for such goods. I have come across a bunch of little nobodies who had their ‘first bicycle ever’ actually suspended on their walls!]]>
These guys gladly accept donations in the form of old bicycle parts. So if you have a bike that you’re planning to thrash then make sure that you send it over to them for a makeover.

When it comes to picking the best backpacks you need to open your mind and make sure that you settle for something less specific for an occasion. It doesn’t only save your money but also gives you an identity. They can be reshaped and resized easily to suit almost any occasion. It can even be divided into two separate smaller bags. It doesn’t only look good but provides with special care for your back and shoulders. The large neoprene straps make sure that there isn't too much strain on your back. This is achieved by balancing the weight of the objects in your backpack.]]>
The Arrow Backpack is a great concept but the idea needs more than just good brains. It requires the caliber to sell and make itself prominent on stands.
