Eee PC touchscreen
I bought an Eee PC 901 a few weeks ago, and have been reading up on all the hacks and mods that people are doing to them. One of the most useful mods is to add a touchscreen to your Eee PC, and surprisingly, it doesn’t seem to be very difficult to install.
Flying F*CK RC helicopter
It may not be the most aerodynamic helicopter on the planet, but it’s probably the most eye catching. The Flying F*CK helicopter has two channel control, and counter-rotating blades giving it incredible hovering and stability - even if you’ve never flown an RC helicopter before.
Retro Duo NES/SNES console
The Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System plays both 8 bit NES carts and 16 bit SNES carts. It has two top loading cartridge slots, one for NES the other for SNES, and includes controllers - it’s also compatible with original SNES controllers. Best thing is the price of $49.99!
AVerTV Volar GPS 805
The AVerMedia AVerTV Volar GPS 805 USB stick has both a DVB-T TV tuner and a GPS receiver, which makes it a very nice little item to carry around in your laptop bag. I recently purchased one to use with my EeePC, which I’m eventually hoping to somehow mount in my car - the GPS function works brilliantly with FreeDrive and Map Monkey, and the TV function picks up all my local digital stations even when using only the tiny (and very cute) included rabbit ears.
Nintendo DSi sticker skins
I’m not normally a big fan of skins for handhelds or consoles, but the lastest DSi sticker skins actually look pretty nice.
Nintendo DSi
The Nintendo DSi is the long-awaited successor to Nintendo’s popular handheld video game console. Compared to the Nintendo DS Lite, the NDSi features a 17% larger screen, is 12% smaller overall, and weighs in at only 214 grams. The DSi also features a built in camera, SD memory card slot, web browser and music playback function.
Tomy Flip Flap Mini - solar powered smiles
I just received one of these ultra cute Tomy Flip Flap Mini solar plants, it’s sitting on my desk, happily bobbing up and down just from the light of my small desk lamp. Everyone that sees it says that it’s silly, then after a minute or so they think it’s kinda cute, then they ask where they can get one. I LOVE my Flip Flap! This is the best solar toy I’ve got (and yes, I have quite a few).
GP2X Wiz
GP2X fans, prepare yourselves for some big news. Introducing a smaller, sexier, and far more powerful version of the GP2X… the GP2X Wiz! The GP2X Wiz is the long-awaited update to the popular (yet somewhat underground) Linux based handheld - now powered by a 533Mhz ARM9 processor with 3D acceleration, offering updated multi-media features, a rechargeable battery, a touch screen and a new sleek slim design. And best of all… it plays Flash games! Which means an almost unlimited supply of free games - just download them to your SD card and play. The ability to play Flash games is a big selling point, and is enough reason alone to upgrade from the old GP2X F100.

- Stunning 2.8 inch QVGA OLED touch screen
- Internal li-ion battery 2000mAh
- Plays Flash games, movies and animations
- Microphone input
- 1GB internal flash memory
- 64MB RAM
- SD card slot
- USB 2.0

Kaossilator touchpad synth
The Korg Kaossilator touchpad synth is a pocket size synthesizer that features a revolutionary touchpad design. Move your finger from left to right to change the pitch of the note, and up and down to change the sound. The Kaossilator can also be used as a drum machine and has dozens of built in beats and drum sounds. It features a sequencer function that allows you to build up tracks using the loop recording feature - you can layer tracks to create complex songs combining lead instruments, beats and sound effects together. Check out the video, it’s pretty cool.
