The Navigon 3100 and 3110 are GPS units. The 3.5 inch screen is QVGA, the processor runs at 400MHz and the kit comes built in with Navigon MobileNavigator version 6. This software is actually running on Windows CE 5. Looks wise, this GPS system looks quite nice and the case measures just 0.9 inches thick.
On the 512Mb card version regional maps are available and the larger 2Gb device holds up to 37 european countries. Pricing is about average at $324 for the 3100 and $428 for the 3110.

Slava Tyukalov decided it would be cool to go and create USB flash drive that is ultra tough as well as waterproof, shock resistant, vibration resistant and also anti static proof. Along comes this device which is built from graphite and aluminium which is then coated in titanium to add extra strength. Only 100 of these will be made and will come in 1Gb and 2Gb sizes. The videos after the jump show the static test and crushing test and are well worth watching.

The LG Shine is one shiny looking phone, hence the name. The official name is the LG Shine KE970 and is a polished metal slider phone. The screen when not lit is reflective enough to act as a mirror. When opened up, the backlight comes on and the screen is then visible. It features a 2 megapixel camera, 50Mb of internal memory which can be expanded via an SD card slot. Connectivity is provided by GPRS and EDGE and also Bluetooth and USB is available too. This is one phone to look out for when it hits the UK and we expect it to sell well!

USB hubs are seriously handy devices, but yet the majorty need to stay hidden as they are usually just a box with a number of connectors in. The Dr Who USB Tardis is different in the way that it's just that... a Tardis. For those of you who are not familier with what a Tardis then it is a Time and Relative Dimension in Space which is in the form of a 1950s London police box. On a technical side it is a 4 port hub, features a blue flashing light and also makes the well known tardis noise each time you connect a USB device to it. As an added bonus it also features a demo button just incase you get bored of connecting and reconnecting all your USB devices.
The USB Tardis is available from Firebox for 19.95 pounds and unfortunatly does not allow you to travel in time although I have been told from a secret source that time travel will be available in version 2 when it comes out later this year

I have had a projector now for a few years and the biggest problem with it is the quality of screen. Good ones cost a bomb and cheap ones just distort the picture because they are not flat and have creases in them or even just fall down. This is where the screen paint can be handy. If you have a spare wall handy then get your self some Mighty Brighty. All you need to do is measure out the screen dimensions and paint with the set of paints on to the wall. A number of kits are available starting at $190 all the way up to $580. For the lower version you get a base and top coat. The middle version ads some gray tinting and also provides borders that can be attached to change the size of the screen. The most expensive version is basically paint for the whole wall so that it is the same colour of the screen and doesnt stand out when not used.

The Panasonic HDTV photo player DMW-SDP1 can send pictures from your SD or SDHC card on to a high def TV to display them in full HD resolution. Of course you need to make sure that the quality of the photos matches that of a HD TV, but all digital cameras these days do unless they are VGA type in your mobile phone. I still prefer the prints my self to browse through, but no doubt the HDTV photo player is excellent for flicking through family shots and videos of your holidays before you get them printed.
The player costs $130.

With storage on the increase in USB flash drives, we tend to carry more and more sensative information around with us and often without thinking about the greater risk of a device being stolen. More often then not your data is worth far more then the actual USB flashdrive it's self. There is no doubt that encryption is needed. Most people tend not to be security types though and wouldnt know what encryption is. The Privacy Drive helps with this by including encryption software right on the flash drive it's self. When you plug in the drive it prompts you to enter a password. No password = no data. The model shown has 1Gb of storage capacity which is not huge, but at the same time, enough to hold sensative information that you really do not want others to get a hold of. Protection is provided by 256bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). The flash drive runs at USB 2.0 speeds and ensures fast file transfers.

If you are a heavy sleeper then the Sonic Bomb Alarm clock is for you. The clock features an adjustable volume alarm which can shout out at 113 decibels. Like me, you are now wondering what that means. Basically a jackhammer is about 100 decibels. I hope that puts it in to perspective for you. Not only is the sonic bomb a noisy clock, it is actually a shaking clock by the way of a bed shaker which you put under your matress. Having this ultra mean combination of noises and vibrations there is no doubt that this would wake up the heaviest of sleepers.
The Sonic Bomb is available from ThinkGeek for $39.99
Rumours are spreading over the internet about a new Wii Phone that could be hitting the market. It appears that a microphone has been included in the new patents for the wiimote which could allow for VoIP in games, and maybe out of games also. Another option is the chance to sing along to games too although that doesnt sound like the most interesting use for the mic.
And if you are wondering what the picture above is then do not get too excited as it's just a photoshopped image to show what it "might" look like

RC flying toys are great. The FlyTech RC DragonFly ads a unique twist to the range of flying planes and helicopters by actually having wings. To make this actually work the DragonFly is constructed with light weight material. This allows the flapping wings to give enough uplift for this to fly. As seen in the video after the jump, the dragonfly can be kept in control, be used indoors and be a lot of fun to fly.

The Zero-G is the next cool watch to hit Tokyo Flash. The watch is super slim, unique and as can be expected, it tells the time in a weird way.

The watch is a svelte 1.5mm thick and the watch weighs just 60 grams. It is available from TokyoFlash for 9800 yen.
