Torpedo Digital Game and Movie Projector allows kids (or those of us that are big kids) to see their gaming on a larger scale.  You connect it to your video system or game setup and you can display what you would usually see on your simple TV screen, somewhere else, in super-sized mode.

Projects in a 960×240 resolution and has built-in speakers so you continue to hear the same gaming sounds you’re used to.  You can also plug in a pair of headphones for a quiet experience, but I think if you’re projecting it up there that big, you probably want projected sound, too.

You could also set up with a DVD player for larger movie displays…could be fun for parties or a get together.

 The TopTag Pet ID is a great way to keep identifying information on your pet, without having to tag them internally with the ever-popular method of inserting the information on a microchip inside the skin.  It’s incredibly easy to use and allows you to store information about your pet in great detail.

You simply insert the tag into any USB port and a nice auto play setup will guide you through your pet’s vital information as well as small details in case your pet is lost for an extended period of time.  You don’t have to add all the details, but the questions and additional information might help the one that finds your pet better care for it.

Comes in a tightly connected waterproof case that is light and easily attached to your pet’s collar or cage.  You can also print all the information that you enter so that you can refer back to it during update periods or after a move and decide what needs to be changed.

TopTag offers volume discounts to pet clubs and organizations, and I like that idea.  They will also send you a free waterproof case if you ever need one, simply by registering your Top Tag Pet ID early on, and giving them a call when it’s needed.  If you forego the registration you can still get one for a small fee.

A super informative site and greatly detailed fact sheet made this a definite buy for all my family members with pets!

Sanyo is known for leading the way in technologies that are fun and lend a hand at keeping family memories.  I’ve seen many digital cameras but the specs. of this model really impress me.

The Sanyo Xacti HD1000 weighs a light 9.5 oz. and is only around 16.6 cu. in. so this model really will be a smaller and lighter version of what you have seen.  Not only that, but Sanyo also packed it full of good features like the high-speed image processing engine (for full HD data), ergonomic design, low power consumption and a great 2.7″ display to view your video as you shoot it.

It also will take 4-megapixel still images in digital for those snapshot moments.  Visit Sanyo for more details and check note the image stabilization and manual control options for you semi-pro movie makers out there.

We all enjoy our music and sometimes you want to share the experience with people riding in your car.  One way to do this is via an FM transmitter and this Kensington LiquidFM Plus for MP3 Players is one way to do it.

With ClearFM technology, they claim superior sound delivery to your radio from your iPod or MP3 player.  Simply plug it into your setup and choose the channel you’d like it to play on.  3 station presets make for quick tuning but you can customize the channel if needed.

There’s also a neat QuickSeek technology that Kensington offers to find the clearest channel available.  I have used a few different brands to try to broadcast my music to my radio and none of them offered such options.

We all know how most men leave their holiday packing to the women, and most women tend to cram in as much stuff as possible only to have airport staff charge a ridiculously high overhead due to your luggage which is bursting at its seams. The Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale helps prevent that from happening, capable of showing you in an instant whether your luggage exceeds airline weight restrictions. It can weigh up to 44 kgs at best, displaying your luggage’s weight on a digital display. This essential traveling tool retails for $29.95.

We all know how much the Japanese love their cellphones, but who would have thought this much? Both "Hime-Den" and "Deco-Dens" are trend setters in Japan, where the word "Hime" means "Princess" and "Den" for "Denwa" - phone in Japanese. This trend sees girls who wouldn’t stop to think twice about dropping hundreds of dollars monthly just to make their handset stand out from the ordinary, bland models. Won’t all the accessories and trinkets glued to the handset fall off after a while, or even cause it to be more bulky than usual? I guess fashion never really bordered on the practical in the first place anyways.

Want to be with your newborn child 24/7, but can’t? The Zaky Pillow is an interim solution from a Texan mother, capable of giving babies the warm touch of hands that normally come from parents.

Motorola has decided to spruce up its MOTOPURE H12 Bluetooth headset by teaming up with luxury custom cellphone maker Alexander Amosu, making that model a limited edition headset that is available only for custom orders. It features more than 180 brilliant cut diamonds and is made from 18k gold (from a choice of white or yellow gold to boot).

The base model costs £4,000 while the fully-loaded headset will set you back by a whopping £6,250.
