The One Battery Mobile Charger Pen is a working ballpoint pen that can charge up your cellphone in an emergency. How? I’m glad you asked. Inside the slightly thicker than normal pen is a AA battery which should give your phone enough juice for 100 minutes. The pen comes with 5 different adapter cords for various cellphone makes. A novel idea and perfect for traveler and businesspeople.

G4 is thinnest laptop mouse, ever


I’ve got to hand it to the company who made the G4 Slim mouse. It can’t have been easy to make the world’s thinnest laptop mouse, or at least the world’s slimmest so far.
The G4 is a 5mm piece of plastic and metal that can fold up into a very flat slot. In fact, it is so flat that it can fit inside the PCMCIA slot of the laptop, which is one that I don’t use while the laptop is being transported.
This makes the G4 one of the most compact computer mice, and it comes with a retractable USB cable as well. This has a touch scroll pad in the middle of two left and right mouse buttons.
The G4 slim mouse is a plug and play feature that is compatible with both PC and Mac laptops. Not only that, this G4 Mouse is an optical mouse that is state of the art.
The G4 Slim mouse comes with a leather pouch and mouse pad, and is available for about $69.99 on the Slim mouse site.

Zero Gravity Micro R/C Car


Just when you thought you’ve seen it all where remote control cars are concerned, along ambles the Zero Gravity Micro R/C Car. This device is touted to be extremely maneuverable, and is able to perform gravity-defying moves along the wall.
So how does it work then? Well, Zero Gravity Micro features an advanced Venturi suction system that works a bit like a vacuum cleaner. Special fans create massive down-force to keep it glued to the wall whilst flexible skirts around the chassis ensure the vacuum remains sealed. You control the action via a stylish twin toggle infra-red transmitter and the vehicle itself is powered by a rechargeable battery. Simply charge and go.
For £29.95, you will be able to choose from black or red colors, and with four frequencies to select from, you will be able to have fun with three other racers, but make sure your neck gets more than enough rest since looking at a ceiling all day long can get pretty sore.

Google Chrome open source browser


Just when everyones is getting used to news of Firefox eating into Microsoft Internet Explorer’s market share, along comes Google to upset the natural order of things. This new open source browser will compete with the two mentioned browsers, and this can’t but make me wonder whether Google Chrome will be to Firefox as what Firefox is to IE, quietly nibbling away at the market share? It will be interesting to see how this lightweight and fast browser will take off. It will be launched as a beta for Windows machines only in more than 100 countries, although there are plans to release both Mac and Linux versions.
