Some of us enjoy coffee, and some of us simply can’t function without their morning coffee, and sometimes it may need to be on the run. Stelton has you covered: they announced the availability of their battery-powered coffee machine, the Stelton Simply Espresso Machine, which is the smallest espresso machine ever created. It includes a [...]
Wind It Up: The Mitaki-Japan Wind Up FM Radio with Flashlight
Some of us have been there: driving at night, middle of nowhere, and a weather system is coming or some urgent news update is on the radio. Any emergency kit should have a radio handy, and the Mitaki Wind-Up Radio is the perfect addition to that kit, due to the fact it doesn’t require batteries. [...]
Tunes + Safety: The Stereo Neckphones
Headphones are great inventions, but they can sometimes distract you from what’s going on around you (especially if you’re on the street, jogging or walking. That’s pretty unsafe at times. These Stereo Neckphones are designed for just this sort of conundrum, as you can read here: This is the slender, lightweight dual-speaker system that rests [...]
The Height Of Cool: The Digital Blue Lego MP3 Player
We like to cover cool Lego gadgets from time to time, and this is pretty cool: a Lego MP3 player with an LCD screen to boot (which many “novelty” players don’t have, generally). It’s the Digital Blue Lego MP3 Player, and its up for sale right now. It comes with 2GB of memory (standard these [...]
Write That Attacker Off (Literally): The UZI Tactical Defender Pen
Now here’s a multi-purpose device you wouldn’t figure would go together: a pen and a DNA extracting/defense device? I admire the creativity, even if the item itself would have limited use in the real world. It functions as a normal, slick (if rather generic) pen, until you are mugged, attacked or whatever. It can poke [...]
The Power of H2O: The Hydrofill MiniPak Gadget Charger
Occasionally, we like to show off as yet unreleased cool techs from various trade shows, in this case CES. Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has debuted the Hydrofill MiniPak, and if it succeeds, it could change the way we charge batteries. It can charge a variety of gadgets via USB port, first of all, always useful, [...]

Well, the Palm Sized DVD Player from Hammacher may be the solution you’re looking for…it’s about the smallest DVD/screen combo on the planet. It includes a small 3.5-inch display screen, is only 6 inches in diameter, and [...]

Old-School Sound: The iVictrola iPod Amplifier
We sometimes at Gadget Sleuth like to go a little “old-school” with our devices, and this one fits the bill perfectly: The iVictrola iPod Amplifier. It looks like the speaker for one of those antique record players, but its very modern in design. It also requires no batteries or power, which is very cool indeed. [...]
Take A (Sound) Bite: The USB Apple Speaker
Just one word: Apple. Conjures up slick products and high price tags. Brando – conjures up cool little USB merchandise with small price tags and interesting designs. When you combine the two concepts together? Meet: The USB Apple Speaker. No, Apple had nothing to do with making the speakers; they’re shaped (vaguely) like apples, and [...]
