Baby Bidou MP3 Player

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 03:00 PM PST

Babies have their fair share of gadgets that most parents have come to find necessary.  Things like baby monitors and even sterilizing lights for their bottles.  One thing that some parents might also find handy is an MP3 player specifically for the baby.  It’s easily debatable that it’s really not necessary for a child that young, but if you like having your baby listen to music then it might make things easier.

For those that use music to soothe or put their baby to sleep, instead of carrying around a CD, you could have this.  Plus you won’t need portable speakers since this has speakers built directly into it.  You can also record your own voice for the infant to hear.  When you’re trying to get your child to fall asleep there is a fade feature that will slowly decrease the volume level.  You can purchase the player for $59.98 or get 1 of 4 of the Brainy Baby files preloaded onto it and pay $63.98 all together.

Faux Panning Security Camera

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 02:05 PM PST

Keeping people out of your property can sometimes be as simple as giving the illusion of security.  Even if you can’t afford a top of the line security system, this fake one looks real enough to fool most people.  It might be overkill for most homes, but small businesses could definitely use them.  They could even be used to get people to quit breaking into your garage.

These cameras will even scan back and forth.  Only after they detect movement do they start to move around, which will conserve their battery life.  There’s also a red blinking LED light to make it seem as if the camera is recording.  When you purchase the set you’ll get a mounting kit that includes wood screws and a mounting bracket.  Each one of these cameras will cost you $59.95 through Hammacher Schlemmer.

MintyBoost USB Charger Kit v2.0

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 01:42 PM PST

If you enjoy any types of candy that come in little tins, then you probably toss away a lot of the tins.  Sure, you can use one or two for storage, but sometimes it’s hard to find a use for them.  Thankfully MakerShed has released a kit to allow for you to change your old tins into a USB charger for your various USB gadgets.  At least it’ll make for one less tin sitting in a landfill.

The kit will help keep your iPod, camera, cellphone and any other USB gadgets charged.  The charger uses 2 AA batteries and will allow for your iPod to run for hours, which is apparently 2.5 times more than you would get from a 9V USB charger.  In order to make yourself a USB charger you will have to do some soldering, but that’s the most difficult part that you’ll come across.  You can purchase the kit for $19.99.

Electronic Cigarette helps wean you off the real stuff

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 09:21 AM PST



Do you think that you are hooked to smoking, and even so for the rest of your life? Have you tried countless methods of quitting this habit because someone else told you to, or through the advise of a doctor or because you plain want to do so, but to no avail? Well, you might look upon the Electronic Cigarette as the last resort, where it is touted to produce massive amounts of vapor for less money alongside extras with each purchase. After all, aren’t sequels to products supposed to be better than its predecessor (for a little bit even if it is not by leaps and bounds)? This is where the Electronic Cigarette is heading to, thanks to the efforts of E Cigarettes National who has managed to include a bunch of improvements to the atomizer which first propelled their signature Firelight brand to the forefront of the electronic cigarette scene.

E Cigarettes National also holds another business advantage over its rivals – it comes with one of the most affordable kits on the market, while augmenting that strength with another – the company has been able to provide customers with a level of service that is unrivaled within their industry, helping increase the amount of customer satisfaction along the way. As for their signature Firelight kit, it will come with more stuff compared to many other standard kits, where among them include a couple of batteries, a similar number of newly-designed atomizers, 10 refill cartridges and three ways to charge it just in case you’re in a spot – via an AC charger, car charger and a USB charger. In fact, most standard kits come with only half the number of refill cartridges, which means E Cigarettes National really aims to make a literal bang for your buck with their release. Anyone given electronic cigarettes a chance yet, and what do you think of it?

HP expands digital imaging category of devices

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 08:57 AM PST



HP, the world’s top computer maker, has just introduced five more point-and-shoot digital cameras alongside a trio of camcorders for the masses, where they will come with a range of features including LCD displays, up to 5X optical zoom and fashionable colors. Among the digital cameras and camcorders on offer, selected models will boast touchscreen LCD displays for that added touch of modernization. With a new intuitive user interface to make things even more idiot proof than ever before, you will also find that a high color contrast does a whole lot in helping one experience better visibility when browsing through menus and faced with a choice of more than 25 scene modes to snap the best quality images possible.

Take for instance when you select a scene mode – the display will show off a couple of images, where one is how the photo will look in auto mode while the other depicts how it looks in the selected scene mode. This offers one the ability to make the best shooting choice possible thanks to this smart preview option, but it ought to cause a hit on one’s battery life in the long run, not to mention being slower in snapping photos since you will need to do a double take each time round. As for the premium HP CW450t and HP PW460t point-and-shoot digital cameras, they come with a 2.7″ and 3″ LCD touchscreen displays, respectively, alongside a newly designed touch interface, sharing a 4X optical zoom and SDHC memory cards. You will need to fork out $109 for the CW450t, while the PW460t is going for $149.

As for the newest HP touchscreen digital camcorders, the V5061u and V5560u will come with easy-to-view 3″ LCD touchscreen displays, 1,080p high-definition (HD) recording and motion-detection capabilities. Not only that, the V5560u goes one up with 5X optical zoom and a lithium-ion battery, while the V5061u relies on the SDHC memory card format to store all of your favorite digital memories. Should the lithium-ion battery remain uncharged, there is always the alternative of shoving in AA batteries to keep the camcorder running. Interested? The V5560u and V5061u will retail for $199 and $169, respectively.
