Watching a movie on a media player during a flight takes skill: You want it propped up but you don’t want to touch it. iFlyz removes the joy challenge from this delicate dance.
The thing looks like a scaled-down inverted GPS mount, with suction cup there to grab the device, and a clamp to latch onto your tray table, desk, lunch counter, even coffee table, if you’re the type who prefers the 3.5″ screen over the 42″ plasma. It’s got a flexible gooseneck, but not a lot of joints, so my guess is, you’re going to want to line up your suction cup before latching.
Speaking of that suction cup, I am not sure how crazy I am about the whole saliva thing. In the world of GPS navigators, a little spit is often necessary to get that suction cup to really suck, but here we’re talking about spitting on my iPod or Zune, a different matter.
Also, how do I know the suction cup will work on rougher textures, like the leathery backside of the BlackBerry Bold. iFlyz says it’s iPhone compatible, so at least the rough aluminum first-gen iPhone shell is covered, but for $30, this thing better stick to anything I want it to stick to.
Now have your phone and drink it too.
MOTO W233 Renew
An eco-friendly cell phone? This Motorola phone is actually made with recycled water bottles. The nine-hour talk time capability means less charging time and therefore less energy wasted. In addition, a partnership with Carbonfund.org means that the company offsets the amount of energy needed to produce the phone by investing in carbon-negative programs such as reforestation and renewable energy. Available now from T-Mobile, the Renew costs $9.99 with a two-year service plan. www.motorola.com

If you want to forego electrical charging entirely, try out this solar charger works on most electronics such as phones, MP3 players and GPS units. For phones, one hour of sunshine typically equals 15 minutes of talk time using a battery that stores energy for up to one year. Each unit is $79.95 and weighs only 131 grams.www.solio.com
The Ear Pressure Equalizer sucks air from the outer ear canal creating a slight vacuum which gently pushes the eardrum back into its original position.
Not having personally used this, I won’t comment on its effectiveness. But this reeks of another useless gadget that didn’t need to be invented. Not to mention the potential damage you could do to your hearing if you either use it wrong, or the alleged “gentle” eardrum sucking goes awry.
Simple, fast and safe.
You experience it during flight landings – increased cabin pressure presses the eardrum inwards and the ears become “blocked” – an irritating and painful sensation. The usual trick of swallowing and yawning doesn’t really help and can even be harmful if done too much. Yet with this ingenious device, painful ear pressure is no longer a problem.
As small as a mobile phone and 45g (1.6oz) light.
The Ear Pressure Equalizer sucks air from the outer ear canal creating a slight vacuum which gently pushes the eardrum back into its original position.
Using the equalizer is child’s play.
Simply close the ear canal with the equalizer, briefly press the yellow membrane – done. No matter how strongly you press, the built-in safety vent will prevent the build-up of too much pressure.
Developed by Prof. Burkhard Franz, founder of the renowned Tinnitus Research and Balance Clinic, Melbourne.
Measures 9.5 x 6 x 2.5cm (3¾” x 2 1⁄3″ x 1″) (L x W x H). With ear pieces available in 3 sizes. Not suitable for children under 3 years. 2-year manufacturer’s guarantee. Pro-Idee extends the guarantee to 3 years.
Prof. Dr. med. Burkhard Franz is an internationally recognised expert in ear, nose and throat medicine.
During many years of research, he found that negative pressure impulses are the ideal way to quickly and effectively unblock blocked ears. This resulted in the development of the Ear Pressure Equalizer. Buy HERE |
Sometimes I wonder if I do this because I truly LOVE travel gadgets or because I like weird designers
This is the Nubrella. It’s a “revolutionary” and “advanced” weather device developed after 5 years of research and development.
Or two hours of watching Lost in Space on DVD.
Looking surprisingly like a ridiculously over sized, clear plastic version of Maj. Don West’s battle helmet, the $60 Nubrella straps onto your shoulders for the ultimate in hands-free public humiliation, and guarantees protection from rain, wind, sleet, snow, extreme cold, and ever getting laid again.
Yes, this is real. No, seriously. We couldn’t make this up if we tried.
The Nubrella is so deliciously awful, it’s hilarious. Pair this with a Segway and you too can join the ranks of “Not likely to ever get laid for the rest of your life.”
I submit. I give in. Please lord take me now. Why, why do I keep finding this stuff on the Internet?? I saw the first show of the reality show Survivor on CBS and said the end of the American empire was near. That was 10 years ago, and I was right. But this is the final sign.

Great idea. Slash-proof neck lanyard to keep your passport and/or life-sustaining iPod on, so when a bad person tries to cut your neck cord, the cord will not cut. This company plans to offer a slash-proof NECK GUARD in the year 2012. Wait to see my review.

The Digi Safe possesses a slashproof neck lanyard to securely tote your valuable electronics and is designed for carrying most phones or digital cameras. An additional connector allows you to conveniently switch between two electronic devices. A safety release feature is designed to release under high tension if you need to remove your device quickly.
An adjustable slashproof neck strap is made of a thin, high-tensile strength, stainless steel wire capable of adjusting from a 25-inch strap to a 50-inch length. Simply thread the loop of the strap through a D-ring on the device if available.
