PhoneSuit Flex Micro Battery Pack for smartphones

In this day and age, we tend to take our smartphones for granted, and sure, the kind of technology that our phones pack do seem to last longer than normal while offering more and more functions, but there are still moments in life where one might have just forgotten about charging up the smartphone for the day's events ahead. Well, perhaps in order to prevent those "doggone it!" moments, there is always a device like the PhoneSuit Flex Micro Battery Pack, which as its name suggests, is a portable, "on the go" battery that was specially designed to deliver instant power to energy hungry smartphones.

How does the PhoneSuit Flex Micro Battery Pack work? Well, it does not matter if you need that final push to complete a phone call (be it during an emergency or when you need to close that multi-million dollar deal), to tune in to your favorite Internet radio station, or even to watch movies – the PhoneSuit Flex is able to handle it all. Touted as one of the smallest and most powerful battery packs that are currently available in the market, it will sport a high capacity 2600 mAh battery that is packed in a device which measures roughly the size of a person's thumb.

This enables the Flex to, er, "flex" it's battery power to deliver double the power or a full charge, on majority of smartphones out there. The PhoneSuit Flex's tiny size and integrated connector tip will enable users of it to hook up the battery straight to their smartphone when traveling. The PhoneSuit Flex will even remain attached and securely in place even as you use the smartphone, making it one of the more ideal solutions for folks who want the advantage of portable power without having to worry about the bulk of a battery case, or in some other cases, a large battery pack solution.

Expect to fork out $79.95 for the PhoneSuit Flex Micro Battery Pack if you are interested.

Tasty Food in Gaseous/Liquid Form

Have you experienced molecular gastronomy? This art of using food’s physical and chemical characteristics to exploit the true flavors and appease our palettes has a big following. Some smart designers in France decided that drinking our favorite recipes offers a unique method of tasting our food – with fewer calories!

Le Whaf turns your food into vapor. Mix your liquid concoction together and insert into the stylish looking glass carafe. Tilt the vessel to then create the vapor using ultrasound waves from vibrating piezoelectric crystals. Pour some vapor into a glass. Then, using the Whaf Straw, sip the vapor to get a massive burst of flavor but few calories. You literally taste the liquid as it is recreated from the gas generated. Can you imagine being able to enjoy that glorious chocolate dessert without the calories? Or imagine an entire meal being taken in through the straw and reproduced in your mouth. The makers are undertaking the task of a cookbook to help you create too. The carafe cost €129 (about $168) and a 6-pack of straws €5. Le Whaf may not be the way to eat every meal, but the first 1000 units have sold out. So someone must be finding a good use. More are in production though. Stay tuned to the lab store for more details on when Le Whaf will return.

MobileMount+ makes mounting gadgets a snap

Here's a quick question for you to ponder over – so you already own a DSLR or a compact digital camera and a smartphone, but which device do you use more often to capture photos whenever you are out? The smartphone would more or less be the answer for most folks out there, and with ever increasing advancements made in the world of camera sensors for smartphones, you know that this trend is not going to slow down or stop anytime soon. Sometimes, however, you wished you had the chance to mount your smartphone somewhere to capture a particular shot of you and your better half from afar, and this is where something like the MobileMount+ device would come in handy.

It does not matter if you opt to shoot photos or want to follow your GPS functionality on your smartphone to a new and unfamiliar destination, or even to view movies on your tablet, the MobileMount+ is able to make all of that possible without tiring your hands out, as long as there is a flat surface in the vicnity.

The MobileMount+ is made up of a couple of suction cups and one threaded ball joint, where it can function as a camera mount in addition to being a car mount or a tabletop kickstand. When you connect the mount to a tripod or other camera accessory, you are able to unscrew the ball from the suction cup and hook it up to any camera accessory which supports 0.25" 20 threads. Both the ball and joint on the MobileMount+ will enable users to adjust the mount at an angle of your choice, making it ideal to capture the perfect shot.

When the MobileMount+ suction cups are screwed together, they will enable you to prop up your tablet on the countertop for easy tabletop viewing and use. It will also enable you to mount your device to your car window so that you can use it on the go. Expect the MobileMount+ camera to arrive this coming July 2013 assuming the Kickstarter project collects enough funding.

Perhaps there is a way to consolidate some of those accessories that have a common denominator, and the charger is one possibility. It is along this train of thought that the iCharge All Portable Charger was birthed from, where you will no longer need to worry about ending up with a drained iPhone, as all you need to do is plug your iPhone into the iCharge All Portable Charger, and you can start chatting away again. Of course, there is the caveat that the iCharge All Portable Charger itself should be charged to the maximum before you begin on your travels, but that is a different can of worms that we shall not venture to.

Customizable Sounds Sleep Generator

Do you find it rather difficult to fall asleep each night? Assuming you have answered in the affirmative, then I am quite sure that you have tried your fair share of products and remedies – traditional or otherwise, to get some much needed rest before the sun rises for you to meet the next day head on. The thing is, nothing seem to have worked so far, and you are at your wit's end, not wanting to take the long and slippery slope that snake oil salesmen offer. Well, perhaps there is some hope left (Obi Wan Kenobi), with the $199.95 Customizable Sounds Sleep Generator.

Basically, the Customizable Sounds Sleep Generator is a special device which is capable of generating 145 soothing authentic nature sound combinations in order to help you enter dreamland. There are no chemicals or drugs to make you depend on them, as this is all natural – at least the sounds are. Sporting two dozen primary sounds (such as an ocean surf and spring rain) that have been specially captured in the field, they are able to be combined at the touch of a button, where you can mix it up with other soothing sounds such as bamboo chimes, harbor swell, or a crackling bonfire for a total of 145 combinations.

These sounds can be set to slow down in a gradual manner so that you can be lulled to sleep, and you can have them turned off automatically in 30-, 60-, or 90-minute intervals. A couple of integrated speakers and a subwoofer will deliver clear, full treble and bass, where it is accompanied by a backlit digital clock with an AM/FM stereo with three alarms in tow.
