Nikon Coolpix Extreme Digital Camera
The name says it all, the new Nikon Coopix is a extreme camera for all extreme conditions that even works under water, it's perfect to have on the side on the daily bases and specially for those weekend getaways. It still a concept but I am hoping that this camera comes up for sale.

Elecom MF-SU2 USB Thumb Drive
This has to be one of the smallest USB drives in the World, the Elecom MF-SU2 USB Thumb Key.
The Elecom MF-SU2 USB Thumb Key measures 18mm by 15mm x 7mm and weighs in at a tiny 2.5g, but being small doesn’t mean it cant store a decent amount of data, yit comes with a choice of 4gb or 8gb.

4 to 8 Gigs? DANG! good stuff though...
Jajaja cool!
i really like the macbook holder but not good when u tell ur friends 'I got a floater at home'
super awesome.//
Stop leeching fabio !
That akihabaranews has 'Hot linking' disabled.. I think so....
Those small USB drives look cool, but they arent handy.
I`ve got a very small one myself aswell, but you lose them in no time - and once there out of sight the chance to retreive it, is too small :P
Rather have a bigger one really.
wow. i would like something off of here
I love the Shuttle X50, I wish they made that specifically for portfolio's. That would be awesome in an interview.
cool :D I like the Nikon cam ;)
amazing post! I love trying to find new cool toys to help my productivity :) it's like toy shopping for designers! great post!
These are s cool! lol love it especially the flash drive thats so cool
thanks
These are so cool i like the nikon camera
that cow hub looks a bit... morbid. but the other things are excellent
4gb & 8gb!? you serious? wow maybe next time portable harddisk gonna be the same size as thumbdrive!
The Balmuda Floater MacBook Stand is a total waste of money and has a big chance of destroying your macbook. If you run it with the lead close, and lets say you are running a photoshop or something that would make your fans go crazy, you risk damaging your screen or even worst burning up the hole thing.
I use a stand for mine with extra USB's looks cool and its useful =P
That camera is pretty slick.
I'm sad to not see any mimobots...
As much as I admire the design looks of the Nikon camera, I can't but help that it would be falling out of my hands a lot. Those thin curved edges are not condusive to a tight grip.
The cassette player is extremely good. I would love to have one.
have to agree.
the cassette player is awesome.
i love retro stuff.
