7-Range Sound Level Meter

BabyReaps — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 00:02:04 +0000

Ever wondered just what kind of noise level is around you? Up to which decibel are you comfortable with, and is your neighborhood conducive enough to live in? With the 7-Range Sound Level Meter, the answers to those questions are revealed.

7-Range Sound Level Meter is an extremely versatile device for measuring sound intensity in just about any acoustic environment loud or soft; high-pitched or low-pitched, broadband; intermittent or continuous. You can use it to measure noise level in factories, schools, offices, airports, or check acoustics of studios, auditoriums and home theater installations. It features a large, easy-to-read indicator for taking quick measurements anywhere. Power is supplied by a 9-volt rectangular battery, so the unit is very portable.

No idea on what the average Joe would want to do with a device like this, but if you happen to be interested in a local librarian, why not get her this for $31 and see sparks fly? After all, ladies love guys who are interested in what they do as well.

USB Robot 4-Port Hub

BabyReaps — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:02:41 +0000

I know that USB ports are somewhat tied down to handbags and high heels - you can never get enough of those. After all, plenty of devices and peripherals these days connect to your computer via USB, which means you ought to be prepared with a USB hub of sorts on your travels lest you find yourself short. I don’t quite agree with the USB Robot 4-Port Hub name given, since it looks more like a headless dog (or any other stumpy, four-legged creature) than a robot. At least the swiveling “limbs” (if I may say so) will ensure that your USB connectors from various peripherals won’t get in the way of each other. When not in use, the USB Robot 4-Port Hub will be able to be kept securely with all the limbs folded down, facing each other so that they won’t be broken off accidentally. The USB Robot 4-Port Hub will come in silver or black colors, retailing for $12 each.

Louis Vuitton iPod/iPhone case

BabyReaps — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:44:11 +0000

There is no let up in the world of fashion as they tackle the growing market of consumer devices, with the house of Louis Vuitton taking up the challenge of designing an iPhone/iPod case. This new line comes with a camouflage theme on a Monogramouflage canvas, but since it bears the LV brand name, you can rest assured that you will pay exorbitant prices for what would seem to be a pretty ordinary protective case. I back up that statement by presenting a $280 price tag attached to this case, and would make for a good retail therapy candidate right after that argument with your other half on whether to upgrade the old iPhone to a new iPhone 3G or not.

BabyReaps — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:05:04 +0000

Mention the word Mercedes and you’ll automatically have an image of safety, comfort and luxury in your head, zooming by the world while everyone else looks at your three-point star in envy, waiting for their turn to arrive in the world. Well, Mercedes doesn’t only roll out solid vehicles, they have also come up with a GLK collection iPod/iPhone pouch. Handcrafted from nappa leather, you get a cut-out GLK logo studded with the Tyrolean stones to offer a refreshing color range whenever the iPhone’s bright display is turned on. There will only be 40 of such pieces available, which means it translates to a rather high price tag during the auction.

Fruity USB flash drives

BabyReaps — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:53:54 +0000

Mmmm, strawberries and watermelon - my favorite red-colored fruits. Of course, taking a bite into this plate will result in a broken tooth if you have brittle pearly whites, since they’re not edible but made out of plastic instead. Oh yeah, did I mention - these are USB flash drives for you to tote your precious files along with you. Other than the designs you see here, you will be able to choose from burgers and cookies if health food is not your thing. Definitely not the thing to serve your guests with as they enter your home. Don’t expect any software pre-loaded with these, they’re just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill USB flash drives with an extraordinary case.

Kambu wireless portable TV

BabyReaps — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:48:24 +0000

Remember Hannspree LCD TVs that came in rather small sizes which are meant to keep your kids entertained? Those have really interesting bezel designs, ranging from animals to vehicles and even sport-themed items. I suppose Kambu of Korea wants to take a page out of Hannspree’s books with their new wireless portable TV that is currently on parade at the Seoul Character Fair. This portable TV comes with 10″ of real estate and is skinned by what looks to be a white tiger, albeit the face doesn’t really look too menacing or like the big cat at all. It comes with a VGA input at the back of the TV. No idea on how much it will cost though, but it sure is cute!
