01.31.2008PED 3 - Rotating stand for iPhone or iPod Touch
You own one of the most elegantly designed products in recent history, the iPhone. Are you going to showcase it in some retro, scruffy stand? No, not you, you've got taste. That's why you want the Ped3. Not only does it rotate 360 degrees, but the rubber coated metal grips allow full use of ports/controls while you admire your device. You can charge it, if you add the cable (that's what the split in the center is for.) Separate versions for the iPhone (PED3) and iPod Touch (PED3-T) will cost you a measly $39.99 at Thought Out.

01.31.2008miShare lets iPods get social with sharing
If you love music and you love sharing, meet miShare, a single-button, smart gadget that enables sharing files and playlists between iPods. Simply attach the source and iPods (sans cables and computers) press miShare's can't-miss big button and presto changeo!
miShare allows you to navigate and share music, video and photo. Copy your media one file at a time or by batch. miShare uses the On-The-Go playlist for multiple songs—simply create an On-The-Go playlist on the source iPod by selecting by song, artist, album, or even playlist. Single music files take about ten seconds to transfer once the iPods are attached, depending on the file sizes and videos up to half minute. (miShare runs USB 2.0 "Full-Speed," which is rated at more than one megabyte per second. Our real-world experience is about 500KB/second.)

01.31.2008Hands free - germ free soap dispenser
These days “touch” technology seems to be infiltrating most a-list gadgetry. In some cases, however, touch-free is just as snappy. Simplehuman’s sensor soap pump dispenses soap without any of the usual mess (you’ll avoid cross-contamination). Soap dispenses automatically when the sensor is triggered by hand motion. The optional LED light timer helps you get super clean, blinking for 20 seconds to indicate how long to lather for germ-free hands. There are four volume settings that allow the pump to dispense preset amounts of soap or lotion. Operates on 4 AA batteries (not included). Price: $39.99 at simplehuman.com Posted by chrissie

01.31.2008Nothing says "I love you" like your last Rolo
If more relationships than you care to admit have ended because of your unreasonable greed when chocolate-covered Rolo caramels are involved, then I think it's time to stock up on these sterling silver My Last Rolo keepsakes. At £35 (about $70) apiece, it may seem ridiculously pricey, but when you actually sit down and do the math, it's quite a steal. Think about it. Rather than have to actually give up your last Rolo or (heaven forbid) buy another roll to share with your significant other, you can just hand over this inedible life-size silver version and be done with it for good. Not only have you just saved your relationship from ever being in candy-related peril again, you've also just done something symbolically romantic and given him/her precious-metal jewelry with no ulterior motive (that can be proven) to boot!

01.30.2008HP Bluetooth laser mouse plays dress-up
I'm in the market for a Bluetooth mouse right now and think I may have found the one. It bears the most boring name on the planet, but the HP Bluetooth Laser Mouse still deserves a spot in my gear bag for its fashion sense. I'm going through a black-and-white phase right now, you see, so the two swappable covers that ship with the battery-powered mouse are a nice match for my wardrobe. Add to that the supplied travel pouch (I'm a fool for cases), energy-saving sleep and standby power modes, and scroll wheel, and what you've got is . . . my brand new Bluetooth mouse. Available now for $60. Via Crave. Posted by Jenn

01.30.2008Heart-shaped mouse for Valentine's Day
While I love a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses and a box of fine chocolate as much as the next person, I don't like them as gifts for Valentine's Day. I suppose they're somewhat romantic in a commercialized or show-off-at-work sort of way, but they're just not for me, especially on the day that thousands of other women are getting the same thing from their special someone. If you don't want to be accused of being unoriginal or cliche by your sweetie this Valentine's Day, why not skip the flowers and candy and opt for something more unique? Take this heart-shaped mouse, for example. Sure, it's wired (USB) and questionably ergonomic, but creativity that's both functional and one-of-a-kind is hard to pass up for only £25. Via Tech Digest.

01.29.2008Pitapocket wallet for pita pocket lovers
Oh how I wish the Pitapocket wallet created by Israeli designer Anat Safran wasn't just a concept. I love pita pockets like nobody's business, so even if I would get strange looks when I pulled out what looked like an unwrapped pita from my purse at the checkout stand, it would still be worth it. The temptation to line the inside with lettuce leaves would be difficult to resist, but I need to work on my willpower anyway. Via DesignSpotter. Posted by Jenn
