FRAME ON!
Addressing the needs of photo, music and movie buffs, Mustek has launched today its PF-i700, a color 7-inch digital photo frame with an integrated Apple iPod docking station that can display and play iPod files, in addition to those stored on popular memory card formats. At the rate features are being added, it'll soon come with a coffee maker. ( $129.99; www.mustek.com )
...AND THE HITS KEEP COMING
OhMiBod puts a whole different spin on mood music. Simply plug the vibrator into your iPod or any music player and it automatically vibrates to the rhythm and intensity of the music. Talk about your good vibrations! ( $69 [ of course ] ; www.ohmibod.com )
AAAHHH...
Anyone who suffers from aches and pains ( and, frankly, who doesn't? ) will appreciate items like the HoMedics Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat, Quad-Roller Massaging Cushion with Heat and Shiatsu Pillow with Heat ( pictured ) . The relievers add breakthrough technology to the moving 'hands,' further soothing tired muscles and melting away tension and fatigue. It'll almost make that long day at work worthwhile. ( $39.99 for pictured item; www.homedics.com )
LOST AND FOUND
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, an average of 2,185 children under the age of 18 are reported missing daily. That daunting statistic alone would seemingly make an item like the Loc8tor extremely handy. Loc8tor uses patent-pending technology to help find misplaced possessions while also providing important child safety features; the Loc8tor Plus allows users to set an invisible safety zone, protecting children, pets or any other valuable people/things. ( Starting at $99.99; www.loc8tor.com ) |
