Gotta Have Gadget

When it comes to Verizon Wireless phones, check out the Casio^® Exilim.  Im having a hard time figuring out if this is a fully functioning camera with a built-in phone, or a fully functioning phone with a built-in camera.  The phone features built in VZ Navigator^SM and V Cast Music with Rhapsody.  Most camera phones take low resolution photos that at best can be used as part of a picture message.  Read the rest of this entry »

Kodak has to be one of the first manufacturers you think of when you think of taking great pictures.  Well Kodak has done it again with the new Zi8 Pocket Video Camera.  There is no excuse for missing any special moment as the Kodak Zi8 offers full HD 1080p quality video with a pocket size camera.  The feature I like best about the Kodak Zi8 is unlike many other pocket video cameras, the Zi8 has a built in five megapixel camera.  If you want to share your photos or videos, the Kodak Zi8 has a built in USB adaptor and software that lets you easily upload to your favorite social media sites.  With an optional high speed SD card, you can record hours of HD video, and photos.  Another nice feature is the rechargeable Li-Ion battery which saves you money and time replacing batteries over the life of the camera.  For all the Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera has to offer, visit them on-line at www.kodak.com.

This next product truly sucks!  In this case it is a very good thing.  Now I would never recommend getting your wife or girlfriend a vacuum for the holidays, however I would consider the Dyson DC31 for the man in your life.  I know what you are saying, a vacuum for a man?  Well this is the perfect handheld vac for around the workshop, for the man cave or to clean out his car!  The design looks like a futuristic laser gun, however it does house the famous Dyson Root Cyclone which gives you over 104,000 RPM to pick-up after the boys come over to watch football or shoot pool.  The 22.2 volt lithium rechargeable battery gives you enough power to clean up the mess, and if you need a boost of power, there is a turbo button to give you more suction!  For more information on Dyson technology go to www.dyson.com.

Looking for an open world playground of Dirt, Aggression and Competition? Look no further, the geniuses over at Codemasters are at it again with FUEL.  This game is the definitive off-road junkies dream, catering to both those who enjoy tearing through the vast 50,000 square miles of terrain on either 2 or 4 wheels. This coupled with its 16 player online competition mode, makes this game a winning team. But would you expect less from the creators of the insanely popular rally Series Dirt? The game centers around working your way up through a series of 70 career races and challenges, working your way to the top of the FUEL racing circuit. These arent your normal A to B challenges either, were talking chasing helicopters over some of the most challenging terrain that modern gaming can offer, running down competitors in Baja trucks and muscle cars, or carving out your own path to over mountains and through rivers to the finish line in the time allotted.  Read the rest of this entry »
