The eco-friendly Lili Webcam



This cute little Lili Webcam not only has the appeal of looking adorable, but it was created in the best of ways. The webcam has managed to be created in such a way that it is actually eco-friendly. It is also thankfully a Fair Trade product. Which means the workers were in a safe and hygienic workplace while creating the cuddly little webcam. It also means that there was no child labor going on and the workers received a fair wage. Basically, Fair Trade means the little guy doing all the work didn’t get shafted.


The webcam also features flexible legs, 1.3MP, 30fps and has a built-in microphone. It uses recycled packaging, has a reduced CO2 impact and uses renewable materials. It is being sold in red, blue, gray or green. The webcam is being sold for £29.99 or about $54, which could be construed as a bit pricey. I imagine for many it would end up being worth it though to have such a cute webcam that just happens to be eco-friendly.

USB Multi-Cellular Phone Charger


I don’t think that all families use only one brand of cell phone, and this is where the USB Multi-Cellular Phone Charger comes in handy. This device is able to cater for all popular brands in the market, including Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Nokia among others. It relies on USB power to juice up your exhausted handsets, which makes it all the more convenient since you can always plug it into your laptop while you’re on a trans-Atlantic flight. Each $18 purchase comes with eight different connectors.

Imentioned about it during the “SE Feng announced”, the Sony Ericsson Alicia claimed to be the W707 went live today. It is the first GSM to feature three screens. It has a touch wheel at the front which provides several info and keys. Unfortunately, no specs available at the moment.

Digital Counting Piggy Bank


It is always good to get your kids started off on the right footing when it comes to money, and what better way to save than to watch their savings grow in due time? With the Digital Counting Piggy Bank, it makes saving all the more fun since you’ll be able to know the exact amount inside without having to painstakingly count every single coin.

Piggy bank counts and keeps track of spare change for you! Not your typical “piggy” - electronic slot and LCD screen automatically track and display your total savings. Twist-off lid for bulk deposits and withdrawals. Features count-up/count-down controls to keep total accurate. Great for teaching kids to add and save money. Requires two AAA batteries (not included).

Since the thing is made out of plastic, you don’t have to get a hammer to access your hidden stash during times of emergency thanks to the twist-off lid. You can pick up the Digital Counting Piggy Bank for $29.98 and get Junior on the saving program early in his life.

Velocity 103



Velocity Mobile has announced its latest phone, the 103. At the first glance, I thought it was another phone from HTC, some parts looks alike. It is running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with Odyssey Interface.

The 103 has a 2.8″ VGA TFT LCD touch screen display with 640 x 480 resolution, 128MB RAM, 256MB NAND flash memory, microSD memory card slot, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS navigation, 2.0-megapixel and a VGA camera too, TV/VGA out, and powered by Qualcomm MSM7201 processor.

The Velocity 103 is equipped with its Velocity Over The Air (VOTA) updates for easier updates without the need of too much tech knowledge. Expansys is putting on pre-order at $499.99 and will start shipping end of this month.

Pappa*phone


The Pappa*phone is a VoIP handset made from American walnut and brass. It works well with various instant messaging programs such as Skype, iChat and others, and it runs on both Windows and OS X platforms. Unfortunately it is wired with 1.5 meter long cable.

Stylus for iPhone or iPod Touch



Remember the Brightonnet BI-IPEN? It’s available for sale, at $14.17. Yeah, for ladies with long nails to text on iPhone or iPod Touch. The Pen top is made of resin and conductive and will never scratch the liquid crytal panel of iPhone / iPod touch.

I thought they were scratch proof (video here)? I heard that there are some complaints of scratched screen.

Spring was installed to gives the stylus pen special flexibility. On other end, there’s a cap which you can pull off and your will find a pin on the cap where you can use it to take out the sim card slot from the iPhone.
