The Navigon 7100 is one of 3 portable GPS devices from this long-time GPS company. Navigon has only recently jumped into the consumer GPS market, but they know a lot about GPS technology so it wasn't hard for them to make the leap.

Toyota announced The Winglet - Personal Transporter
Only a year after taking control of Sony's robotics business, Toyota announced a mechanized vertical scooter. This personal transporter was intended to help people move about in public areas.
It was called the Winglet because of its fleet nature. It is the first gadget to duplicate the celebrated, navigation system of Dean Kamen's Segway Transporter.
However, this scooter is not up to par to the Segway in speed or ruggedness. The new Segway model can go up to 12.5 miles/hour, and the slightness of the Winglet's frame probably wouldn't survive a Police chase.
According to Toyota, they will test three different models at Japanese airports later this year. The feedback received from customers will help determine whether Toyota will mass-market the gadget for sales.

Colour Changing Shower Head
Labels: Colour Shower, Shower Head
This innovative shower head changes colour according to the temperature of the water that flows through it. No need to feel the temperature; all you have to do is look and you have an instant indicator of whether the water is too hot or too cold. Saves third degree burns each morning, or having to thaw yourself out in front of the radiator. It's a Godsend we tell you.
If the shower head light is Green, the water is cool. The light then progresses to blue, purple, and then red as the temperature increases. Check out the picture below to see how it all works. Clever huh?
It's powered by thought. All you need to do is tell the shower head to start glowing via the language of the mind and it will light up. Alternatively, it could well be powered by the motion of the water. Either way, there are no wires, no batteries and no main electricity sources to send you to a swift and less than gratifying electro-death. Water really is quite a good conductor you know.
The perfect way to start your day. That rhymes. Not only does it produce illumination as if possessed by some generous light-giving god, but the water is also ionized giving a much softer feel to the stream of illuminating spray. If only we could actually get out of bed in time for a shower before work, we'd use it every day. As it is, we use it twice a week. Tops.

Pet's Eye View Digital Camera
Sometimes we come across gadgets that really get us excited! However after we read the specs of said gadgets more closely our little gadget balloons get deflated. Case in point, the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera. This compact digital camera attaches to your your pet's collar and is made of ultra durable water-resistant ABS plastic. Photos are shot at 640x480 resolution at intervals of either 1, 5, or 15 minutes. Sounds great, so what's the catch? According to the product description there's only enough internal memory to hold roughly 35 photos, which means at best you're only going to capture a little over eight hours in the life of your pet before you'll run out of space. (No mention of a memory card slot to add extra memory either, bummer.)
Jetboil Personal Cooking System
This PCS (personal cooking system) weights only 15 ounces and can boil up to 12 liters of water from only one fuel canister (not included). It's light and compact more importantly it can boil two cups of water in only two minutes! Fast cooking be crucial in surviving any zombie apocalypse - the walking dead are slow but they never stop. With the Jetboil you can make your pasta, noodles, hot chocolate or coffee and stay on the run while those other guys get gnawed up trying to make their coffee over a campfire.

Digital Camera Lighter
What happens when you want to take a picture of a super stealth moment…like when you see your best friend’s boyfriend out with another girl, or a hot Maxim model stranded on the side of the road? Whipping out your camera would be too obvious, and camera phones take crappy pictures, but the Stealth Digital Camera Lighter lets you play it cool and get the picture you want.

Last night a Rollertoaster saved my life
Labels: Bread, new gadget, Rollertoaster
I love me the science of toast, and nothing gets me warmed up (har!) like a new way to get bread crispy. Check out this totally rad Rollertoaster. Despite having maybe the sweetest gadget name in recent memory, it radically changes the design of a kitchen appliance that hasn't changed much in the last few decades.
Oh, Rollertoaster! It's like a paper shredder for toast, but instead of shredding toast, it toasts it. Dig? You just slip that limp bread on through and watch as you get something you'd be proud to spread some butter on right into your hands. No word on if or when this thing will see the light of day, as it appears to be merely a concept right now, but it's safe to say I'd be willing to part with as much as $25 or maybe $30 for it.
The WineRack
You can keep your technological breakthroughs and advances in medical science; when a product involves boobies and booze, top retailers (okay, us) stand up and listen. Ladies and gentlemen (well, gentlemen with strange peccadilloes), introducing the WineRack
This comfortable sports-style bra contains a special boob-enhancing polyurethane bladder that can be filled with your drink of choice. Simply slip it on, fill with wine or any other beverage you fancy and wear it under your regular clothes. You can then indulge in a spot of stealth drinking via the WineRack's adjustable drinking tube. With a rack like this girls' nights out will never be the same again. As for boys' nights out, well, the mind boggles.
Just think, secretly guzzling from your gazongas means no more queuing up and forking out for overpriced drinks at festivals, gigs and games. The savings you'll make at just one event will pay for your WineRack™ and still leave you with enough change to buy some nuts - not that you'll be buying anything for yourself with a chest this impressive.
As well as its revolutionary booze-concealing benefits, the WineRack™ increases your cup size by two full cups (cue sound of blokes cheering/leering). But that's hardly surprising because this ingenious dual-purpose shoulder-boulder holder can carry up to 750ml of liquid - that's an entire bottle of wine and a whole lot of extra boobage - talk about vino and va va voom!
As you can imagine, the WineRack™ is set to fly off the shelves faster than you can say 'I hope that's Chardonnay you're drinking,' so we suggest you hit the Buy button before we call last orders on this utterly brilliant boozing accessory.
Digital Camera Mask
If man was meant to take photos underwater he would have been fitted with shutters not eyelids. That's why the techno gods created waterproof cameras. Trouble is, swimming underwater is challenging enough without having to carry a camera in one hand, or worse still, stuff one down your cossie. So three watery cheers for the Digital Camera Mask.
As you can see, this ingenious hi-tech diving mask doubles up as a high quality 5 mega pixel digital camera, so you can snap away at whatever swims your way without faffing around for a separate gizmo. How cool is that! If it wasn't bright yellow we could see 007 wearing one on his next mission.
Waterproof up to 5 metres the Digital Camera Mask is ideal for all you fish fans, divers and snorkellers. It's also great for taking infantile 'trunks pulled down' shots in the pool. There's even a video mode so you can film all your sub-aquatic shenanigans.
You needn't worry about accidentally chopping off oncoming dorsal fins because the built-in tempered-glass viewfinder has a set of nifty crosshairs, so you can hone in on your target before snapping (and swimming) away.
Whether you're a mermaid hunter, SpongeBob stalker, pool party paparazzo or Jacques Cousteau wannabe (ask your dad), taking hundreds of underwater piccies is easy because there's even a built-in micro SD card slot. And don't worry about uploading pics to your PC because the Digital Camera Mask is USB friendly.
Just think, wearing this revolutionary mask/camera will enable you to take pics and shoot vids without having to carry additional gear. Better still you'll look like some kind of tech-savvy marine biologist. Lose the flowery dental floss thong and you might even resemble a proper underwater cameraman.

The daily haste forces us to lose time, but not only on important problems, but also on searching of the necessary things. For example, car keys or cell phones and remote controls are the things that we tend to lose all the time. New unusual gadget will remind you that your keys are not with you. The mini electronic gadget will allow you to define the location of your keys.
The electronic tracking device allows you to find the lost things from fairly far away, issuing a sound signal. So-called tags or metal tips are used for determining where the device is.

Cool Fitness Gadget : Gaiam Abs Ball
Everybody wants a slender and toned middle, not only because it makes you feel good in a bathing suit, but also because it prevents back pain. Plain crunches are not the most effective exercise on their own, and to increase the level of intensity, you can add some weight to your ab work. That's where the Gaiam Abs Ball ($40) comes in.
It's similar to using a medicine ball, but the handy handles make it much easier to hold, so you can concentrate more on the exercise, rather than it slipping out of your palms. The ball weighs six pounds and it comes with a 35-minute instructional DVD to show you how to use it. Triathlete Jonathan Roche demonstrates how to define your obliques and abs with both beginner and advanced workouts. Adding a little weight to your upper body really helps to target and strengthen your core. If the 6-lb ball is too easy, you can buy the 8-lb Abs Ball instead.
USB Mug Warmer
Are you forever being called away from your PC having just made a cuppa, with the result that you end up drinking a lukewarm mug of flavoured brown liquid? Ew. Well, some genius somewhere must have heard your cries of anguish and has come up with this perfect little gadget.
Quite simply it is a mug-sized hotplate that you plug into your computer's USB port. Of course, your PC cannot provide enough power to cook bacon and eggs, but it can provide enough to keep your tea or coffee nice and warm.
No mains lead, no batteries to change, just plug it in and away you go. You'll wonder how you ever managed without one!
Don't touch this when it is on, and don't use it with plastic cups.

Pyramat Game Bag
The bean bag is dead. Long live the Game Bag. Because, let's face it, there's little or no use in serious gaming from the discomfort of that tatty old bean bag you bought in Habitat in the 90s, what you really, truly need is a seating device custom designed for a new generation. A generation that's not used to sitting in chairs. Or at tables. Or anywhere with structure and form.
Enter the Pyramat Game Bag 2.1. It's more than a bean bag. It's a multimedia command centre. It's a subwoofing boom box. It's a fully integrated entertainment hub. It's even - reassuringly - a comfortable and supportive place to sit. Which is just as well.
For truly advanced, 21st Century gaming, the ever-so-clever Game Bag is compatible with practically every make of modern gaming and audio-visual device. Simply plug in and feel every pound of every sound effect. Or sit back, relax and put yourself at the heart of the aural or visual action, surrounded by sound.
But don't keep it to yourself. Using the Game Bag's clever multi-user technology, for maximum effect - and awe inspiring sound - it's possible to connect up to eight of these splendid devices simultaneously, for absolutely high impact competition.
To get gaming, bag a Game Bag. Then sit down and take it like a man.

Stress Ball Paul
Stress. The very word conjures-up visions of grown men crying into their JD and Coke and women running to the nearest spa for a colonic, a botox and a right royal bitchfest.
How we loathe stress and go to pains to avoid it, get round it and cope with it. Stress is a little short of a modern evil; a latter-day curse intimately connected with the speed and intensity of life... not to mention the horror-show that is the 21st century workplace.
It would be a grand claim to assert that with a single stressball called Paul that one could soothe-away the worries of the day. So we won't. Instead, we will say that the ever-so-clever chaps at the colourfully-entitled Suck UK have been at it again, producing a Little Magenta Man who can be squished, squeezed and generally mangled in the name of stress reduction.
And venting one's spleen on Paul will do more for your career prospects than venting anything over, in or near poor Maureen from Accounts. (Don't blame her, by the way, blame the system). So vent away and watch in awe as Stressball Paul returns to his original shape, bent double, head in hands, weight of the world on his tiny magenta shoulders.
Stressball Paul invites us all in stark and very visual terms, to think that, my golly, if we've got it bad, imagine how it must feel for him. And that makes one feel better already. Spiffing.
