Very Exclusive Gadgets & Gizmos

Sigh. We're still stoked about phones with built-in projectors, but we're not at all okay with the first commercially-available unit being the nasty Epoq EGP-PP01 iPhone clone -- yet we've got to hand it to China King for being the first out the gate with a handset that'll beam a 30-inch VGA image on the wall for two hours off the built-in battery. Of course, that doesn't mean we think anyone should actually drop $550 on this uninspired piece, but if you've absolutely got to show off your witty texting banter to the entire bar, this is your only option.

Here's an iPhone App that made the cut - the iHologram. It works with both the iPod touch and iPhone, offering graphics that seem to leap off the display in the manner 3D hologram stickers do.

After a long hard day at work, there is nothing quite like taking a relaxing bath back home. Our friends at Gearlog has taken their turn inside the Kohler Fountainhead VibrAcoustic Bath, so what's their conclusion about this wonder bath?

That is one long name for a handbag! For having such a long name it's a pretty normal looking classic clutch without any outrageous features going on -- except for crazy fashion appeal if you're counting that!

It may not be the most glamorous briefcase I've ever seen but the new Checkpoint Flyer Briefcase by Tom Bihn has one very important feature, it can slide through airport checkpoints with your Mac safely inside a sleeve, saving you the awkward fumble of taking out your computer, putting it into a bin and sending it through the chute unprotected along with umpteen other Apple computers.

This time we bring to you a pair of golden shoes that don’t look gaudy but simply mind-blowing. This uber-luxurious pair of sneakers was created by Robert Coin, the acclaimed jeweler, in order to celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The sneakers are made of 24-karat gold-varnished nappa leather and are later coated with a PVC lacquered film to add sheen and protection. If that doesn’t sound opulent enough, what if we told you that the sneakers also have an 18-karat gold clasp and Robert Coin’s signature ruby studded?

We have seen a Shower Breasts Dispenser(I love this!). Another funny dispenser - Nose Shower Gel Dispenser($18). Just squeeze or press it and green shower gel oozes out of the right nostril. Rubber nose attaches to flat surface with suction cups. 9" high.
