Nyko Charge Base IC

wii_chargebaseic_product_03If you like to use the Nintendo Wii, then you know how the Wiimotes love to eat up battery power during gameplay.

Nyko has created chargers for the Wiimotes, and the Charge Base IC is different because it uses magnets. It is quite cool to attach the Wiimotes to the cradle and have them lock there like magic. It is pretty cool, and it even has a USB port in case you want to charge up your USB devices.

Vuzix Wrap 310

Wrap_eyewear_310I have seen video goggles like this Vuzix Wrap 310 before, and I’m really am not certain at what point video goggles will peak in the marketplace.

The Wrap 310 is a 16:9 wearable widescreen display, and it is made for viewing video files on the road. You can attach your iPod to it, and it will sync with any video file on the iPod that you want to select. It can also connect to other mobile devices, and it can also sync with a DVD player or anything with RCA connectors. I was actually able to view 3D footage as well.

MPro150 Pocket Projector from 3M

3m-mpro150I’ve had some interesting experience with 3M’s Pocket Projector line before, such as the MPro120. It was a projector that I tried out and liked my experience, and I was pleased to try out the MPro150.

The MPro150 is able to project whatever is on a cell phone, Portable Media Player (PMP), television, computer, or any other device that it is compatible with. What makes the MPro150 different from the MPro120 is that the user can use the MPro150 as a stand-alone device. It has a mircoSD card reader so you can view PowerPoint, Word, and Excel presentation as well as other formats.

Jabra STONE Bluetooth Headset and charger

41qE6CMVabL._SL500_AA300_At CTIA Wireless 2010, I had a chance to play a game where I had to skip a virtual stone with an iPhone. I was told that if I skipped it 30 times, I would win a Jabra STONE. They let me try several it several times, and I won.

I was glad to try it out, as the STONE has an interesting minimalist look to it. The volume control is completely touch-controlled, and it comes with a mini-charger. So not only can you take the Jabra Stone places, but it has a convenient battery that fits into for more power.

Feel free to read my full review here.
