| Posted: 20 Aug 2012 09:41 AM PDT Living on campus, away from home sure is fun. It is also a surefire test of how organized you or your student can be. Use gadgets like these to help you keep your stuff together!
Hey Dude, Here's My Car Parents, are you sending your kid to college with a car or a bike? Parking lots at schools can be intimidating.. Especially when the student rushes to get to class. Pull in a space, kill the engine, lock and go! And an hour later they are combing the lot saying "where did I park." Bike racks can provide as much confusion. Prevent the inevitable with the GPS Homing Device keychain. Simply push a button when parking. The GPS unit marks the location and points them back to it while counting down the distance. And it is back lit for night use. You can set up to 3 different starting points to remember other locations. Don't let any collegian take their wheels to school without a sure fire way to find their parking spot, just $79.95 at Hammacher Schlemmer.
A durable bag is critical to college. You need to keep your stuff together, and know it is safe.Timbuk2 has been producing quality bags for years. They recently beefed up their popular Commute messenger bag, $109 – $119 on Amazon, to adapt to today's needs for collegians and professionals everywhere. The exterior allows for quick access to a key pocket, and water bottle storage. The interior continues with separate file storage, ample book space, plenty of pen/pencil storage and more bottle storage. A faux fur lined pocket provides protection for phones and scratch prone items. The Commute 2.0 offers an external laptop compartment with separate space for a tablet or e-reader, both heavily padded. And if you fancy travel you will zip through TSA with the lie flat laptop section. As with Commute 1.0 the TPU flap keeps your gear dry in a drizzle and the shoulder strap is removable. A variety of colors are also available to suit you, or your collegian.
Ensure the Important Is Not Lost Sending a student to college with important documents or jewelry can be nervewracking. Sure, you trust your kid. But Who knows what crazies are living in the dorm. Give you and your student some peace of mind with the Lock & Roll Portable Personal Safe. Lock & Roll is less than 6" tall and – as the name insinuates – has 2 wheels for easy maneuvering. Drop in the valuables, lock it up and roll it away, and know that things are secure. The Lock & Roll is available on Amazon for $71.81, a steal for the relief it will provide.

| Virtual and Terrestrial Battling Robots Posted: 20 Aug 2012 06:30 AM PDT
These are remote controlled robots which are fully well capable of engaging in intergalactic combat – regardless of whether you are at home, or over the Internet. These two-wheeled robots will rely on radio frequency waves in order to "strike" their opponents from up to a range of 49′ away, while the remote controls will enable rapid forward movement and hairpin turning so that enemy fire can be avoided. Expect explosive sounds to be generated whenever an attack is launched for that added bit of realism, where each direct hit is logged by LEDs located on the remotes. The robots will also be able to hook up to a computer thanks to the included USB cable, while a website is there that creates robot avatars so that users can resume their battle with an online video game. More virtual “weaponry” downloaded to the robot itself are made available for the victors of the battles, and these robots will run on a quartet of AAA batteries each, while the remote controls consume one less battery each.

| LeapFrog introduces LeapPad2 in a special Disney Princess bundle Posted: 20 Aug 2012 05:30 AM PDT
We shall take a closer look at the hardware specifications right after the jump, in addition to the number of features as well as kinds of hardware that comes with the LeapPad 2. There is a speedier faster LF 2000 processor located right underneath the hood that ensures your little one will be able to glean maximum performance from the LeapPad 2. Sporting a stylish, high-tech tablet design which was also built with kids in mind, it is said to be durable enough to be able to withstand the rigors of being used and played about by a kid. The on-board memory has been doubled compared to its predecessor, while kids are now able to maintain their more personal creations and downloads at their fingertips, where we are talking about up to 25,000 photos or 70 downloads. LeapFrog has also thrown in a longer battery life and a recharger pack option so that your kid will be able to remain occupied for longer whenever you are traveling, translating to the lower number of instances of your kid asking, “Are we there yet?” when you all head out for a long road trip. LeapPad2 will also come with extensive free content, ranging from a music player with five LeapFrog Learning Songs, to a new Cartoon Director creativity download, an Art Studio, the popular Pet Pad writing game and choice of an additional download from the LeapFrog App Center. You can pick up the LeapPad2 for $99.99 a pop, and it is recommended for children aged 3 to 9 years. [ LeapFrog introduces LeapPad2 in a special Disney Princess bundle copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Sony Reader PRS-T2 e-book reader Posted: 20 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT
Basically, the Sony Reader PRS-T2 will not bog you down or cramp your traveling style, especially when it comes in a light and thin 6″ e-book reader form factor, sporting an enhanced, intuitive touch screen display that has been specially optimized for long-term reading while offering what Sony deems as "the most natural, immersive reading experience." You will be able to select from white, red or matte black colors, where the new social features will be presented in a simplified and intuitively designed home screen. As with all other e-book readers, one main area of concern would be the display quality – how does the Sony Reader PRS-T2 stack up? For starters, we are looking at a glare-free, E-Ink Pearl V220 touch screen display which has been specially enhanced for optimal long-term reading, sporting an intuitive touch, more paper-like page turns, in addition to improved continuous page turns and a smoother zoom in and out. Not only that, you get an improved default book layout so that it is easier to organize and look for your digital books. A couple of English language and four translation dictionaries have been thrown into the mix as well, and with Wi-Fi connectivity turned off, Sony claims the Sony Reader PRS-T2 delivers up to two months of battery life. Storage space stands at 2GB, and all it takes is a single swipe of your finger to turn a page, while pinching your fingers will zoom in and out. You can pick up the Sony Reader PRS-T2 for $129, while you can add on to that by picking up additional accessories such as a Cover and a Cover with light, where those will retail for approximately $35 and $50, respectively.

I always enjoy grabbing attention when I pull out my iPhone. Funny ring tones turn heads, and creative apps raise eyebrows. But how about grabbing attention with your phone to your ear? The Spock Ear Design iPhone case from Graphicpals will make people double take. Chat with your friends while showing off the distinguishable Vulcan ear and sideburn. Grab a laugh from passers by and keep your phone safe at the same time. The case conforms to the iPhone 4 or 4S. Quality of the case is always a concern of mine. Graphicpals chooses to use silicone rubber, versus plastic. Though not necessarily as shock proof rubber does conform better, creating a tight fit that repels the elements. The graphic should not fade or peel either. It contains a high gloss permanent finish on special plates to prevent age from destroying your pointed Vulcan ear. This Spock tribute sells for $15 plus shipping on Etsy. [ Channel Your Inner Vulcan copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]
