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.

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.

dsxf03/19/2009

wow. i would like something off of here

JD03/19/2009

I love the Shuttle X50, I wish they made that specifically for portfolio's. That would be awesome in an interview.

that cow hub looks a bit... morbid. but the other things are excellent

CheekyBots03/20/2009

4gb & 8gb!? you serious? wow maybe next time portable harddisk gonna be the same size as thumbdrive!

manolo03/20/2009

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

Timothy03/20/2009

That camera is pretty slick.

I'm sad to not see any mimobots...

gary03/20/2009

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.

Casber03/20/2009

The cassette player is extremely good. I would love to have one.

Michi03/20/2009

have to agree.
the cassette player is awesome.
i love retro stuff.
