External USB LCD display that can show you infomation when you are doing something else

The Pertelian External LCD Display is build to help us out when we are doing other things on our main screen.

This display gets connected to the USB port and can give you all kind of information like stock quotes, email, mp3, IM and MSN this way you can stay in your other programs (like games) and still see what else is happening.

Pertelian of course made this LCD display so easy to use that you can’t even remember how you ever lived without it. The USB display comes with software that helps you program keys so that you can easily shift to important events.

Check the site for more information.

USB pocketknife with mp3 player from victorinox the swissarmy knife company

Are you one of those people that will not leave the house without your swissarmy knife and you mp3 player?

Now Victorynox (the swissarmy knife company) has a pocketknife with build in mp3 player. What more can do we want. I am sure that MacGyver would love to have one of these knifes.

The S.Beat (that’s how they call it) is available is 1 or 2 GB version so that will store enough songs for a little trip.

The knife part of course needed to suffer because of the MP3 player. So it only comes with a Knife lade, Scissors and Nail-file. And for the frequent flyer’s under us they also have a Flight version that comes without the knife scissors and file, I wonder who wants that but at least they offer it.

 

More info about the s.beat can be found Here at the Victorynox site. Or you can order one at .

cool usb phone that can be used for skype

Are you like me a Skype user that is sick of plugging and un plugging of your headset? If you are then a USB phone like the Free-1 could be the solution.

The Free-1 is just a phone with a wire for skype. Plug it in to your USB port and start calling. The Free-1 has some programmable buttons for functions that you would like and you can even choose a ringtone.

Phone like the Free-1 are something you should think of. Why you wonder, simple Skype users in the USA and Canada can us Skype Out within the USA and Canada for free till the end of 2006 😉 and that makes it very interesting to start using Skype over those deals like Vonage or calling through your cable company.

 Just try it and see what you think.

Availabot

Availabot moves when you friends get online.

Want to know when you friends come online or go offline?

With the Availabot you can do that. The Availabot stands up when you Chat friends come online and collapses when they go offline. So from now on you don’t have to be watching you screen to see when your chat friends get online.

Unfortunatly for PC uses like me the Availabot works at this moment only with Ichat on OS X 10.4 but they are working on skype and in the future they will try Windows.

 So for me this means waiting a bit but i hope not for long.

I like the option to have a Availabot for all my friends so that i can see who is online.

Want to know more abotu the Availabot the look at the Availabot website.
