Sanyo Rechargeable Body Warmers
Bundling up can only keep you so warm, sometimes you need something to really burn the frostbite off. Sanyo is creating a line of rechargeable warmers that’ll keep a couple of areas of your body warm. One is even subtle enough that it won’t even be visible if you want it hidden from sight.
There is one for the waist that could easily be concealed underneath of a coat. It comes in medium and large sizes. As of October 7th they’ll be available in Japan for $96. Then around your neck you can use the other warmer. It comes in ivory and black and will be available on the same date as the waist warmer. You can purchase the neck warmer for $84.

MacBook Cutting Board
MacBook fans are serious about their Apple products. You have to be in order to swallow the price tag that comes with all Apple products. I do believe when I bought my MacBook I called it an investment. Now that the keyboard is fried all of one year later and I’m looking at a huge repair bill, I’m starting to question my own sanity. However, the truth is I still love my MacBook, despite that I’m using a USB keyboard to be able to work it. If you’re just as head over heels for your MacBook, here’s one kitchen product you just have to have.
Mac lovers should never be stuck cutting up their food on a normal cutting board. No, you need one made to look identical to your beloved MacBook. They didn’t use just any wood to make this either, it’s made out of apple tree wood. You can purchase one for EUR 43 or right around $54 by going here.

Doctor Who’s Sonic Screwdriver is now a Wiimote
I don’t know if you are aware of this, but this blog comes out of the UK. Another UK franchise that has the coolest gadgets is none other than Doctor Who.
If you are not familiar with the show, it is about a time traveler. It has been on in some form since 1968, and the good doctor has been portrayed by ten different actors. I believe that the SyFy channel airs it now.
Some things about the show in the early days are quite dated, but some things have remained constant, like the Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver. This was a tool that could operate any lock, mechanical or electronic. Apparently someone thought it would look good in Wiimote form.
Hunter Fanaway Retractable Fan
Now this is the way to do it if you’re not big on the look of ceiling fans. Instead of spending a fortune on one just to get a trendy one, spend a fortune on one that disappears. Sure, the light stays right there, but those fan blades tuck away until you’re ready to use them again. With this you’re never stuck having a fan around at all times when you don’t need it.
The great thing is that even when the fan is running, the blades are completely clear. With the blades out, they’re not going to draw a whole lot of attention to themselves. It doesn’t take a lot to bring those blades out either, it just uses a little centrifugal force. This features things like brushed chrome, frosted white glass and even a remote control. It is a bit expensive though. You can purchase it for $559 through Hunter.

USB Battleship Hub does hark back to the good old days
Looking for a new USB device to go along with your desktop? Well, you might want to consider the USB Battleship Hub then as this specially designed computer peripheral by Giffin’ Termeer for Kikkerland is more than capable of keeping your armory of flash drives connected to your computer, not to mention other USB devices and peripherals as well. Since the USB Battleship is hot off the oven, it isn’t available for order just yet. We could be looking at something that won’t break the $20 mark, but then again we guess in this capitalistic world, anything’s possible if there is adequate demand and not enough supply. Let’s hope you can keep up with the rest of the naval theme on your desk area after purchasing this to add some color and identity to your cubicle.

U.bo Pet Robot
Take a look at this particular Virtual Pet known as the U.bo. I’m not certain how to pronounce the toy from Taiwanese electronics company Phison, but it certainly can do a lot.
I realize that you might not be able to read the print from an image I took that was clearly larger, but let me list out the features. It has a 121 pixel LED screen that can display emotions and actions. There is some sort of “advance emotion display” as well as a “multi-touch sensing system”.
Apparently, you have to keep your U.bo fed with cookies in order to keep it in a good mood. This allows the U.bo to belch, pass gas, and do all sorts of things that Furbies can do.

iBottleopener for your iPhone
Cases offer to protect gadgets, but they should do more than that. After all, some cellphones can double as a flashlight, an MP3 player and even their own miniature computer. It would seem that putting a case that can only do one function on such a versatile gadget is just wrong. Thankfully there is the iBottleopener that can open up your beers and keep your iPhone safe.
This case won’t even block any ports, so you can plug it in without needing to take off the case. Beyond the bottle opener on the back it’s a pretty simple case. It’ll work for your iPhone 3G/3Gs and it’ll soon fit the iPhone 4. It will cost you $19.95 for one of these cases, plus a little extra in shipping and handling.

Commodore USA PC64
I remember growing up in the 80’s, I had a friend who had a Commodore 64. Even though he only had a black-and-white monitor that was nothing more than a TV, I was amazed at what he could do with a modem and 5 1/4 floppy disks.
Commodore 64 apparently sold 30 million units, which makes it the best selling computer of all time. Yes, I a surprised that no one has passed that record.
Commodore plans to offer the PC64, an Intel Atom-powered PC that has 4GB of DDR3 memory, SATA 1 TB HDD, an optical drive of DVD/CD, or optional Blu-ray, and HDMI output. Plus it has that awesome beige keyboard, with the keys that will probably click like they did thirty years ago.
