More and more accessory manufacturers for the iPhone and iPod touch are coming up with things that remind of us of Wii peripherals. Like this Basic Steering Wheel for iPhone and iPod touch from CTA Digital.

It’s supposed to offer a more realistic gaming experience on your iPhone, by offering a more natural way of driving, which beats just turning your iPhone/iPod touch. No word on pricing yet, but this one will arrive soon and we are certain it will be affordable. Hardcore iPhone racing fans rejoice.

Pancakes are tasty in the morning. But they are soooo hard to make. First you have to pour the batter in the pan, wait, flip it and wait some more before they hit your plate. Who has the time or skill for such difficult foods?

Thankfully, the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine will do all of the work for you. Pancakes are so difficult that clearly $3500 is well worth it. It will spew out perfect four-inch pancakes. 200 per hour in fact.

The news was already leaked, but if you are one of those folks who needs to hear it straight from the source, you’ll be happy to know that iRiver has announced that their E200 is in fact real.

We don’t have a price or release date, but we can tell you that it features a 2.8-inch screen and will come in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB versions. The device also supports FM radio, FLAC, RMVB and Xvid and sports an SD slot for more memory.

Sprint and Samsung are friends of the Earth with their latest offering. The two companies have just unveiled the Reclaim, an eco cellphone that’s made from 80 percent recycled materials. It’s a sliding, QWERTY message-friendly phone made from “bio-plastic” materials that are made from corn, is PVC free, and for the most part free of BFR (brominated flame retardants).

It also sports a 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, and has Sprint Navigation. Even the packaging is eco-friendly, made from 70 percent recycled materials and printed with soy-based ink. They really aren’t kidding around here.

I have wanted the WildCharge system for my iPhone since I saw the product announcement. I hate having to plug my phone in and the only thing about the Pre that really makes me jealous is the Touchstone charger accessory.

WildCharge has lots of different charging systems for different brands of mobile phones. However, the company doesn’t offer charging systems for all devices. Today WildCharge announced the PowerDisc that is an odd combination of wired and wireless charging.

One of the things I dislike most about notebooks and especially netbooks is the track pad. Most netbooks have the track pad so close to the keyboard that I end up hitting the track pad with the palm of my hand while typing.

That means I like to have a notebook mouse with me at all times. One of the coolest mice for notebooks is the Mogo Mouse that stores in the PC Card slot. The catch for netbooks is that the little machines lack a PC Card slot.

Typically, the games that consoles come with aren’t things that most of us find interesting. When I bought my Wii, I didn’t think much about Wii Sports being a cool game. As it turns out, I spend more time playing Wii Sports with family and friends than I do with any other game I own for the Wii.

The follow-up to Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, is now shipping and Nintendo has announced that the game is selling very well indeed. Nintendo says that between July 26 and August 3 it sold 500,000 copies of Sports Resort in the U.S. alone.

No matter what sort of crap you fill your hard drive with from porn, to digital photos, or music we always seem to need more space. At one point people thought they would never need more than a few megabytes of storage space. Today we know those people were loons.

Hitachi has announced the industry’s first 2TB hard drive that spins at 7200 rpm. The drive is the Deskstar 7K2000 and uses five platters to reach its capacity. Hitachi has platters that are 500GB each so why exactly it takes five is unknown.

Looking for a fun accessory for your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS? These iPhone Trick Camera Lenses will let you add some visual effects to your photos. The lenses attach to the camera on your iPhone and each produces a unique effect.

Some of the lenses include, wide angle, starburst, heart, kaleidoscope and sparkle. Looks like a fun way to spice up your pictures. Each lens will cost you $8.00 and they come in a full range of colors.

Panasonic Japan has announced two new plasma HDTVs, the 65-inch TH-P65V1 and the 58-inch TH-P58V1. Both feature Panasonic’s latest neoPDP panel technology with a contrast ratio of 40,000:1, along with the usual VIERACast streaming media and internet widgets. Both also feature an SD/SDHC card slot so you can play back video, pictures and music, even AVCHD footage directly from an HD camcorder.

There’s also 1080/24p Full HD support, plus a virtual 5.1 surround sound system. It also sports a cool CCTV feature that integrates with up to four different wireless security cameras.

Most of us take clean water for granted and will never know what it’s like to live in an undeveloped country, where access to clean drinking water is not possible. And even in developed countries, the cleanliness of the water may not be so good.

The Zuvo Water Purator can help no matter where you live. It uses not one, not two, but five cleansing technologies to deliver safe and clean drinking water. With each purchase you aren’t just helping yourself, you’re helping others as well. Because the company will donate 5% of its profits to water purification programs in the developing world.

I-O Data just unveiled their Seg Clip 1Seg TV Tuner for the iPhone. I-O data says that it hit retail in Japan in August. It gives iPhone or iPod Touch users the ability to watch TV wirelessly directly from a SEG Clip plugged into a PC.

You’ll need to install the software on your iPod Touch / iPhone (available from the App Store, we’re guessing) and you’ll get a video stream. You can also store the video on your iPhone/iPod Touch and watch it later.

QwicKey is a USB device that will scan your credit cards. It’s sort of like the Smartswipe that we featured awhile back. It’s designed for those who want to quickly enter their credit card details online. The included software lets you securely store all of your credit card data and PIN numbers as well as usernames and passwords.

The card reader will cost you $49.95 and includes a 1 year subscription to an online version of the software which allows you to securely access your card details from any computer. Just log in with a single username and password.

These lamps don’t light the room so much as fright up the room. Dinosaurs are scary. They feature powerful, energy-saving LEDs, and the Deluxe version is even equipped with a spine made of variable LED colors that can be adjusted with the included remote control.

Have you ever seen a Jurassic light show before? Neither have I, but these lamps convince me that Dinosaur bones are meant for glowing. Imagine these babies full sized, glowing in a darkened museum. That would be somehow even scarier than the real bones.

Here’s a great hack that will merge your iPhone and your Wiimote. This is an OpenGL ES demo showing a Wiimote paired with the iPhone, using Bluetooth. The iPhone can then track the Wiimote’s orientation in real time. Pretty sweet.

It will be interesting to see what evolves from this project. Maybe one day soon you will be playing a smaller version of Wii games on your iPhone. Maybe Nintendo and Apple can get together and make games that use both a Wiimote and your iPhone…Like that could happen.
