Now this is what you call retro!
To the ordinary eye, this looks like an ordinary rotary phone, just like the one that the old folks used to have. But this one is different; in fact it is a cell phone!
Now if you have ever wondered what happened to all of those old phones, well now you know. They have been carefully refurbished and await your sim card.

Features:
Main controller board
Ringer module
2000mAh Lithium-Polymer battery
Li-Po battery charger (3-prong 110V and international 220V)
Mini-cellular internal antenna (compatible with North American and European Frequencies)
GM862 cellular module
You know that you are going to look really cool walking down the street with your new rotary cell phone, so cool!
Priced at $499.00, but if you buy a hundred or more, the price is reduced to $399.00, so all you have to do is get a hundred of your friends together and you can all be cool.

Books that go bump in the night
Now this will really creep any friends or family that you have staying over. Just place these old looking and valuable collection of books on a shelf or bookshelf and sit back and wait for the screams.

As you can see from the image, the center book is moveable and will do so every time the sensor that is placed in one of the books on the end. When the sensor beam is broken the center books moves out, as if someone or something has made it moved, creepy Halloween stuff.
Priced at around $25, not bad for a good laugh every now and then.

The funny flame lamp
Not quite sure if this is a funny face or a funny flame, well whatever it’s a funny lamp, that will brighten up the life of any desk or office.

The face and spiky parts are actually part of the 25 watt light bulb that come in Blue, Yellow and White, which means an expensive replacement no doubt.
The size is 5.5 inches W x 5.25 inches H.
The lamp is priced at $9.99, regular price $12.99.

Woz and Jobs have made it
There are many indicators that signal success, the millions of dollars is one and when a toy company makes a model of you, then you really know that you have made it.

This set is supposed to depict Woz and Jobs working away without a worry in the world, and perhaps just a little idea of what that were about to achieve.
The models are made by Tomi and are limited to only 300 which are numbered, so you had better get in there fast before Steve Jobs buys them all up!
Priced at $39.99.

The single house apartment
If you are looking for somewhere to live and do not have much space, then the single house design from Front Architects could be the one for you.

Living in small spaces is most definitely a European idea, after all there are not many places to build new homes, and land is pretty expensive too.

But with this single house concept, the idea is only limited by your own imagination, and of course you could always put a few of them together!
No idea on price etc, sorry!
