6. Nectar of the Gods


This next gadget’s more expensive than the others, but if you’re an avid wine consumer it might save you money in the long haul. It’s a WinePod . The WinePod assists you in creating an assortment of wines in your own home, wirelessly connecting to your computer to help you control the fermenting process. You have access to professional winemakers as well as fellow amateurs to aid you in your exploration of this ancient beverage. The cost is $3,499.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Reviving the Jurassic Period

Standing one foot tall and almost three feet long, the Roboreptile is a lifelike dinosaur that will thrill any kid. It runs, jumps, has three different programmed moods, changes color based on its environment, moves like a live reptile, and is operated by remote control. It’s available in Discovery Channel stores for $99.95.

 

 

 

 

8. Monster Power

This next product won a Best of Innovations 2007 award at the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The Monster Central Home Theater and Lighting Controller 300 compacts all of your home controls into one remote. It not only includes the usual suspects – TV, DVD, stereo, – but also your iPod and your home’s lighting. Plus it’s wireless, so it works anywhere in the house. The downside is that it’s as ugly as the day is long, but it’s easy to use and is the only universal remote I’m aware of that allows to you control your lights. Maybe they’ll come up with a better design in the future.

 

 

 

 

9. Mylo

The Sony Mylo (My Life Online) Personal Communicator also won a Best of Innovations 2007 award at CES. I admit I’m partial to this toy. You can surf the Web, e-mail, play music, IM (Instant Message), and make Internet phone calls from any hotspot in the world. It’s smaller and lighter than a notebook, so essentially you take the fun parts of your computer with you without lugging the laptop. It’s ideal for students and vacationers who want online communication and music downloading capability without dragging along Microsoft Office. You can buy it for about $350.

 

10. Mac Daddy Music & Video Player

If you love downloading videos on your iPod, check out the Mac Sonic Impact Video 55. It’s a newer Mac product that’s getting rave reviews from users. You fit your iPod into it for high quality sound and resolution. It’s engineered to handle outdoor excursions and has a battery life of about three hours (and can be recharged by plugging it into your car). The price is $299.95.

I'd settle for a pumkin pie, though.

Why do you illustrate your post regarding two silver Sony Ericsson phones in the Casino Royale theme with 1) one black K800i and one Motorola 3Vx?
