Another reader for your ebooks, this time from Sony, it looks better than the average reader, and you are able to cover the screen, as the device is built like a conventional book, which opens along the side.

Using a rechargeable lithium ion battery, which takes around four hours to charge up and then it is supposed to last for around 7500 page turns, but if you use a in conjunction with the charger it will last for six hours, which I suspect is quite a bit of reading material.

In line with some of the other readers available, the Sony will cost you around $350.

If you like a little tipple every now and then, you maybe interested in hearing about the cell phone flask, it actually looks like a cell phone, so you can carry it and nobody would know that you had a little supply, for medicinal purposes only.

If you are unable to drink vast amounts of water in its natural form and would much rather prefer to have the natural flavor of raspberry, peach, or strawberry, then this product is got to be for you.

The flavor comes in the form f cartridges, which are connected, to the PUR device, which only very lightly flavors the water, however upon checking the ingredients, there are no apparent ingredients! Which begs the question. What the hell is it in there?

Clearly we would all like to get our hands on food stuffs that are completely safe to eat, fat free, and totally good for you, but it down to what you want to spend and how much time you have for preparation ect.

Each cartridge is supposed to last for around 75 glasses of water, and the cost is $10 for two cartridges.

This is a pretty neat idea, the printer that is fixed to the wall, it is then out of the way and has an ingenious way of holding the paper once it has finished printing, and it looks something like a picture in a frame.

There is not relay much data on the how the printer is powered or what type of ink it uses etc, so that is not much good, but it has been designed by Ransmeier and Floyd, they have defiantly come up with a fantastic idea, whether it is a practical solution only time will tell, I hope so, because it be the start of seeing other wall mounted equipment, which is ideal for small spaces.

Now I don’t know about you but I think that this looks more like something that you clean the drains our with.

But please rest assured that this is a a regular speaker, which can give you a complete 360 degree surround sound effect, and to make it even better, the reason why it looks the way it does, it because it is meant for outside.

All you need to do is plug in the mp3 or other music source directly into the speaker and that is it, you ready to rock an roll, with 20 watts of amplification and being able to hear the sound wherever you are sitting.

Being made out of plastic there is no worries about corrosion as it is water resistant.

The speaker will cost you around $150.
