All around it’s likely that the only people that would be excited about this MP3 player are the ones that are strangely obsessive about everything that happens to have a cow theme.

The USB Moo Cow MP3 Player comes in a choice of colours, including, blue, pink and white, it is avaibale for $30.

The AlessiPhone

The Landline home phones have always been traditionally simple. There are hardly any innovations for these humble phones, while their mobile counterparts see innovation every now and then. But contrary to the conventional innovations that apply only to the mobile phones, The AlessiPhone is a contemporary home phone.
Designed by hip designer Stefano Giovannoni, the AlessiPhone is a cordless phone that's certainly worthy of a place in your high-end plush pad, offering sleek, minimalist looks and a shape that's both symmetrical and aerodynamic. Not that the latter is much use unless you're in the habit of throwing phones around the house.

The AllessiPhone features a stylish, sleek minimalist design, it is made from a high polished polycarbonate, and features a 65,000 colour OLED display, polyphonic ringtones, and a built in contact book where you can store up to 200 of your friends.

AlessiPhone has a constrasting black interior, a 65,000-colour OLED display, pre-loaded background displays and some uber-cool polyphonic ringtones exclusively produced by Japanese DJ Gak Soto. The AlessiPhone also boasts a high quality hands-free function, a contact book with room for 200 names and numbers, a blue backlit touch pad and a clock/alarm. Don't all these features sound a bit hefty for a simple home handset?

The AlessiPhone will go on sale in the UK in May, there is no word on pricing as yet.

USB Dancing Robot

Do you need a companion who can anytime dance at your favorite tunes? Then this USB Dancing Robot is the perfect gadget for you. Similar to the Sony Rolly Dancing Mp3 Player, this robot can dance to your tunes and steal the show.

Just plug in the USB Dancing Robot into your PC, put on some tunes, and this fun robot will dance along to your music. This USB Dancing Robot also has a spare USB port so you can plug one of your USB gadgets in, or even another USB Dancing Robot.

So sacrifice a single USB port and you can have your very own 7-inch-tall, dancing robot to tirelessly bust a move for your pleasure. After detecting whatever tune you have playing, USB Dancing Robot will start swaying and flashing LEDs to the beat. And that looks like all it'll do. Forever.
Despite all this eye ball stealing qualities, the price of the USB Dancing Robot is not very amicable. The USB Dancing Robot is a tad steeply priced for what it is at 25$, and it'll only work with Windows XP or 2000. Its boxy retro design is lovable, but its crazy zany face seems quite funny.

HTC Touch Pro2 Mobile Phone

HTC has announced a new version of its HTC Touch Pro handset at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona bringing with it a host of new features aimed at convincing business users to move away from their BlackBerrys.


The new handset, that will sport a thinner, more curvier design, will come with a 3.6-inch WVGA touch screen that slides out and stands upright as well as a slide out five row qwerty keyboard. The connectivity features of HTC Touch Pro2 Mobile Phone is worth a note. With HSDPA (7.2Mbps), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity the handset will be powered by a Qualcomm processor (MSM7201a, 528 MHz), although not a Snapdragon one as sported by Toshiba and its TG01. Users can enjoy 512MB of ROM, 288MB of RAM and storage for files provided by microSD card.One wont have any fear of getting lost in the wild with the HTC Touch Pro2 Mobile Phone. GPS and A-GPS will help with direction finding while photos can be captured with the 3.2-megapixel auto-focus snapper on the back.


HTC Touch Pro2 Mobile Phone runs an enriched version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, rather than the yet to be announced 6.5 OS that promises a number of new software innovations that users won't find elsewhere.
HTC Touch Pro has an all new conferencing feature. Turning the phone face down on the desk will allow you to turn the device into a portable voice conferencing system. Sporting two asymmetric (not the same size) speakers and full-duplex support, the service will allow business folk to hold mini confabs from their phone rather than having to rely on one of those triangle phone things you find in the office.


The HTC Touch Pro2 will be available across major global markets beginning in early summer. No word on prices as yet.

Are you fed up with the normal not so flashy flash drives? Then here is the solution for you. The ultimate and tiny flash drive, the EagleTec Nano Flash Drive.

Although it is small, the device provides a large storage space and can achieve read and write speeds of 15MB/s and 6MB/s, respectively. The drive is compatible with USB 1.1/ 2.0 and supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Mac OSX (10.2 or above).
