Incase Bamboo Slider iPhone Case
April 22, 2009
Now there is a case that ruggedly protects your iPhone, and is biodegradable. Made of bamboo (40% reclaimed) pulp which is pressed into the perfect shape to protect the phone from most accidents. I have even seen one swiped LCD side down on a brick surface, the bevel on the case saved the screen. The case is available at Amazon for $35.

Pandora’s Box Opens Soon…
January 12, 2009
And that’s not such a bad thing. The Pandora (official site – Written about previously here) is an open source gaming beast. The ship date has been moved back several times, most recently because LCD’s have taken too long to be produced and bank problems with the orders. Things are slowly coming together.

Bluetooth Cassette Tape Adapter
December 30, 2008
Even though CDs have been around for over 25 years ton of cars are still equipped with cassette decks. Now you can add extra life to the dead format with the Bluetooth Cassette Tape Adapter ($40). Simply pair the adapter with your cell phone with the bluetooth headset profile, then pop it into your tape deck. It allows you can make hands free calls while driving. The only downside is that the bluetooth headset profile is the ONLY profile currently supported, A2DP would make this the ultimate cassette receiver. More pictures.
C. Crane Digital FM Transmitter
December 10, 2008
Everyone I know has tried several different ways to transmit music from their MP3 player to their car, yet many of those products fail to live up to expectations. Some reasons why they don’t produce perfect quality audio through a FM reciever are; 1. lack of external power, and 2. lack of antenna. The C. Crane Digital FM Transmitter ($70) has tackled both those obstacles, allowing it to transmit audio from any device with a standard headphone jack to a nearby FM radio receiver in perfect stereo quality. The device even transmits 40 – 70 feet away! Now you can enjoy internet radio, and music from your mp3 player on that legacy audio system.

FlashLauncher
November 1, 2008
A flashlight is a pretty good self defense tool (temporary blindness can be key), however in most situations a light wont stop an attacker. Meet the FlashLauncher, its basically a combination of a flashlight, a laser sight paintball gun, and pepper spray. This is the perfect non-lethal solution to deal with someone who might just be drunk or otherwise temporarily deranged. The starter kit costs $400 and comes with 30 rounds of purple inert powder (for practicing), and 10 rounds of 10X Hot Pepper Powder. Did I mention the FlashLauncher spits these balls out like a machine gun?
