The Mickey Mobile Phone



Here’s another Mickey phone that is not from Disney. But at least, it has a better design…than the Tian Lai F4.

It comes with a Mickey theme, 2.0-inch 262k TFT touch screen, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD slot, FM radio and all the basic functions such as currency convertor, to do list, world clock, unit converter, health test, and calculator

The LT2 Mickey phone is available for $142.82

Desktop Grenade Lamp


Once in a while you will come across a gadget that is so wacky, not sharing it with the rest would be tantamount to sinning. Today we have the Desktop Grenade Lamp that is a lovely combination of two ideas - pulling the grenade’s pin will turn the lamp on instead of resulting in a deadly explosion. Pretty neat idea, although I think this would be more suitable in a boy’s room that your daughter’s. The $139 price tag is rather steep IMHO, but then again good ideas are hard to come by, and when they do, they are rarely cheap.

Casio High Speed EXILIM EX-FH20 is one of the fastest on the market


We’ve covered Casio’s EXILIM series before, and they have just recently announced their new HIGH SPEED EXILIM series, which includes the Pro EX-F1. That camera was released earlier this year, and it has to its credit as being the “world’s fastest digital camera”.

The EX-F1 can shoot at 60fps and record high speed movies at 1,200 fps. Now Casio has recently unveiled the EX-FH20, a camera that is capable of shooting 40fps and can record video footage at 1,000 fps. Of course, you don’t have to record video that fast, as the HD movie function is capable of 30fps at a resolution of 1,280 x 720.

The company gave the EX-FH20 a compact body that is 27% smaller than the EX-F1, and is also 28% lighter. The EX-FH20 has 9.1 megapixels, and a wide angle zoom lens of 20X.

The EX-FH20 is also capable of high speed burst shooting of 7 megapixel images that are adjustable up to 40fps. That means that this camera is capable of prerecording 40 still images that somehow will be there before a user hits the shutter button.

It also has a High Speed Anti-Shake function and Night Scene setting, which makes pictures as perfect as possible. The Casio ELIXIM EX-FH20 is slated to be in stores in next month for about $600.

Dot Gloves allow for easier use of the iPhone


Sadly, it is getting late in the year which means for many of us that it’s about to get very cold. Which also means you’re going to have to start bundling up, but that can cause some issues for those with iPhones. If you decide to throw some kind of protection on your hands to keep them warm it will end up making it hard to punch anything into your phone. That is unless you decided to opt for fingerless gloves, but those aren’t quite as warm. Of course, that wouldn’t be too bad in some areas, but those of us that get bad winters would end up having frozen fingers. Well these Dot Gloves are designed specifically for situations like that.

They may look like silly gloves with rubber tips, but those rubber tips make for entering things on your phone much easier. If you only type with specific fingers you can have the dots placed on those fingers only. They are sold in either knit or ragg wool, the ragg wool is said to be a lot warmer but still soft. The knit gloves however, come in more colors and are cheaper. The knit are being sold for $10 and the ragg wool for $15 from Dot Gloves.

LCD shift knob from AC Schnitzer


AC Schnitzer is a famous name when it comes to modified vehicles as well as accessories, and this time round the famous badge has made its way into the world of shift sticks - in particular, their knobs. Each of these knobs will feature a LCD display that lets you know the current gear/transmission you are engaged in at a glance in red, instead of looking at the base’s print as with traditional automatic vehicles have. You will be able to find this unique LCD shift knob in future BMWs and Minis. No idea on how much more the final vehicle price will be jacked up because of this.

Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain


Folks with itchy fingers who need to keep them occupied while performing other tasks such as going through a list of numbers or talking to somebody over the phone will definitely find the Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain to be a boon.

Each Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain has three beans. The end beans are small and immature. The middle bean, however, has one of 12 random faces printed on it. Why? We don’t know, but there is nothing like the smile it puts on your face. And the beans are connected to some sort of elastic band, so they pop back in to be popped again as many times as you want. It sounds silly, but trust us, these things are highly addictive. They are also a great way to keep your fingers busy during boring meetings and your mood positive - because no one can frown when their edamame smiles.

ThinkGeek is currently selling these pointless yet fun keychains for $8.99 each
