Kiss Me Phone

There is nothing quite like a red hot pair of lips to get your blood coursing through your veins, and this Kiss me phone is more than able to cause that effect in any hot-blooded male at first glance.
Hard-wired phones seem to have moved from essential to retro in virtually no time at all, and this landline phone cleverly disguised as a sexy pair of lips is no exception - indeed it’s more of an objet d’art than a phone. Nevertheless it’s still irresistible. Whether you’re a lothario or a vamp, or just into retro kitsch, the Kiss Me Phone is a piece of kit that pushes all the buttons, in a manner of speaking. It comes with UK and European telephone cables, has a push button operation concealed in the top lip, and is just crying out for some hushed, wicked and no doubt lascivious conversation.
This 22cm x 12cm x 5cm novelty phone is a surefire conversation starter in more ways than one.

The USB connector is cleverly stored in the watch band and flips up for easy connecting. There is also a LED light that indicates the device status.

Sonic Impact SoundPads

SoundPads stick-on speakers transfer sound to any surface you stick them on. SoundPads convert posters, bookcases, tables, doors - any thin-walled high-transmission surface into permanent stereo speakers! Sound quality varies depending on the surface you peel and stick them on, so be creative!
These are designed to stick permanently to the location to which they are adhered. A bit of trial and error in choosing where to mount the sound pad is recommended. For example, you might find improved sound quality in one area of a framed picture by sliding the pad on its surface (before peeling to expose the adhesive), so be creative *before* you give these a permanent home...

XLink combines your landline and cell phones via Bluetooth

I’m fortunate enough not to work in a large office. Generally speaking, large offices usually mean boring cubicles and annoying phone systems. The only phone lines that I worry about are my cell phone and my fax line. However, if you have an office phone, here’s a device that might make things a little easier for you.
The Xlink Cellular Gateway will let you “use your cellular phone as your home phone” and “use your home phone as your cell phone.” Essentially what it does is take your existing office phone (or home phone, doesn’t really matter what you call it) and integrate it with up to three Bluetooth mobile phones. This allows you to answer landline calls from your cell phone, and cell phone calls on your landline (when the phones are in range).
If I had a larger house or office I might consider something like this. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to run upstairs to grab my cell phone when it would be just as easy to grab one of the cordless phones downstairs. You can pick one up for $169.99.

The Picture Frame Bug

If you want a very deceptive listening device, the picture frame is the one to go for. This device has a nice little microphone sitting at the back of it and you can listen to all that is happening in the room using this device by just making a phone call.
How does a phone call turn the listening features on? A simple phone call will activate the microphone and you can listen in on every bit of the conversation. The picture frame will make no one to think that they have a bug on them.
Now who would find such a device useful? Obviously spies and people very insecure about what’s happening behind their backs in their won homes, even parents who worry a lot about their teenagers!!!

Under Door Remote Viewing

If you fancy your self as a spy then this under door remote viewing kit is a must for you. The viewing kit allows you to see behind a door before you open it. The scope section is used to slide under the door and can fit in a space less then quarter of an inch. The field of view is 55° which can see from the floor right up to the ceiling. As well as seeing what it in the room, there is a right angle adapter which allows you to view the back of the door so you can observe any barricades or traps.

Recover deleted text messages with the Cell Phone SIM Card Spy

Have you ever deleted an important file that you didn’t have backed up anywhere? When that happens it’s horrible, but you can’t blame anyone but yourself for not keeping proper backups. However, if you delete something like an important text message, you at least have the comfort of knowing that there’s no easy way to keep constant backups of those. What’s great is that now there is a device that will allow you to recover deleted text messages from your phone.

Telescope lens for the iPhone

The iPhone is a a fantastically cool phone but it’s photography capabilities are not exactly bleeding edge (paper cut sharp at best), could the iPhone Cellphone Telescope-Snap be the answer.
This iPhone telescope is made to help you extend your iPhone viewing distand, capture the excitement of instant moment far from you conveniently.
Incorporate a new design to allow ray effectively avoid the contortion of image, and makes the super wide angle, the larger luminous flux, the higher visual acuteness, good for color reduction, which makes the high quality of photography.
It doesn’t add anything to the aesthetics of your phone but it does overcome one of it’s shortcomings but do you really want to ruin the image of the coolest phone with a snap-on?

Tactile Wand Electronic Walking Stick

The walking stick for the blind has been around since the beginning of blindness. Okay, that was a bad intro, but you see my point: the walking stick hasn’t needed much improvement.
Of course, it is modern human nature to take something that needs to be crude and simple and add technology to it. For example, the Tactile Wand is a walking stick device that uses a distance sensor to detect objects in front of the user. Apparently, the closer you come to an object, the greater the vibration.
Many gadget blogs have been calling this device a “Wiimote for the blind”. I have to admit that there is an uncanny resemblance, and the fact that it has a “shaker” inside won’t remove this particular moniker anytime soon.

Robot Lobster Detects Mines

The Robot Lobster dubbed “Robo-Lobster”, was created with the task of detecting mines under water. It has 8 legs, can move around in any direction and weighs 7 lbs. It is built from industrial strength plastic and can sniff around the ocean by using it’s 2 antennas. The claws at the front and tail at the back are used to keep the robot lobster stable in turbulent water.
Building robots is all the rage for some people. They are trying to get them to do what humans cannot, while also trying to build them as human as possible. This lobster to be honest, is a little freaky looking and not something I would want walking my way as it measures 2 feet long. But, considering it’s main priority is to hunt out mines in the ocean surf I am more then happy to let it continue on with that dangerous job.

kReader helps the Blind to Read

knfbReading Technologies Inc have designed a product to help those who are blind, vision impaired or have reading difficulties. The product named kReader is a piece of software which is installed on to a Nokia N82 mobile phone. Once installed, kReader allows you to take a photo of printed writing such as a receipt, food menu or price tag, and the software recognises the printed text, converts it with character recognition software and reads it out aloud. Also the software is capable of showing the printed text on the screen and each word is highlighted as it is read.

Meizu M8 at CeBIT 2008

Meizu’s M8 cell phone will definitely invoke comparisons of it with the iPhone. You can’t blame people for doing that, since the form factor itself is eerily similar to that of Apple’s high flying handset. The M8 is still in its prototype stage, and chances are it will take quite a while more before the final hardware and software is ready for production. The screen as shown at CeBIT 2008 looks crisp and bright, but as we all know, it is all about the user interface. Will Apple’s legal eagles swoop down on the M8?

Warning! This Paper will Self Destruct

Self Destructing Spy Paper is like having your own “Mission Impossible” type of spy item that you could use to send out valuable information that is meant to be read once and destroyed after without any way of retrieving any of the information written on it.
The self destructing spy paper looks like any other paper but behold, this innocent looking paper is meant to deliver valuable information but in just a few seconds of contact with any liquid, it dissolves right away and you are left with a useless scum-like substance.
Spy paper makes it a lot more comfortably secure to send out confidential information without worrying whether or not the paper would end up in other people’s hands right after the read had read the content. Just make sure to inform the reader that he or she should immediately place the paper in contact with any liquid.
Now, what if the reader is on a desert and there’s no water in sight? How do they dissolve the spy paper then? Not a problem. Well, the person then has no choice but to lick the paper into destruction, right? After all, it will just dissolve in seconds using “any” liquid so a person’s saliva is good enough

Voice scrambler

Admit it, sometimes you just wish you could change the way your voice sounds so you could play tricks on people over the phone or answer the phones that are intended for you and still say that you’re not home. It’s amazing what a voice scrambler can do for you and the things you could get away from using this small yet useful and fun spy gadget.
A voice scrambler and recorder lets you record your voice and play it as is or change the way it sounds to your liking. It’s great for playing pranks on your friends or if you want to fool your parents into thinking that you are still in your room when in fact you already climbed down through your window and are already out partying with friends. Just record your voice, you could play it back with your normal voice or you could scramble it to sound totally different.
It’s a spy gadget that is perfect for disguising most especially through phone calls. It may be a spy gadget to some but for kids, it’s an awesome toy that they simply can’t get enough of. See how it amazes the little ones when they start to hear their voice transform into a scary-sounding voice!

USB Mat

Security is always important when you deal with sensitive information. The most basic way to protect your PC from being tampered with while you’re away is to simply lock it down. It really doesn’t take much to do, a simple two-button combo and it’s secure. However, since many people either don’t know about locking their computers (or just don’t care) many computers are left wide open for attack. This is where the USB Mat from ProxMat comes into play.

Fred 500XL PC Speakers

I’ve reported on some great PC Speakers before, and I would have to say that most of the satellite speakers usually look all the same. I have to give the Fred 500XL PC Speakers points for creativity.
What you are seeing here is not a magnified shot of earbuds along with a normal sized shot of a regular laptop. No, someone actually went and created speakers like giant earbuds.
The purpose of these speaker stereo earphones is to connect with your MP3 player or PC. There is a built-in amp with 3-way power which gives some serious sound action. As for power, it can run on batteries or a computer USB port.

Superheated Steam Cleaner

If you’ve ever watched the show Monk, where Tony Shalloub plays a detective with OCD disorder who is obsessed with being clean, then you know that Adrian Monk would definitely approve of products such as the Superheated steam cleaner.
As you can see, the shape of the Supheated Steam Cleaner’s head takes a cue from a hummingbird’s head. What a user does is aim the “beak” at the stain or spot in question, and then squeeze the trigger. A hot stream of pressurized steam sprays the area, and then the user must wait three minutes before using the high heat to clean whatever he or she wants.
