Many of us would love to own a Porsche, but not all of us can afford one. The next best thing may be this Porsche flash drive. At least it’s something to flash around so you can pretend you own one.

The drive offers 2GB of storage, which should be plenty of space for Porsche pictures and other important data. Of course it features the brand logo embedded on it. It will cost you $49 and leave you feeling completely unsatisfied because you are still no closer to the actual car.

The elegant looking ID Mouse shown here was recently showcased at Dutch Design Week 2009. The Bluetooth-enabled mouse is all about luxury and you know what that means. It means a hefty price tag. How about $1200?

Yeah, I appreciate great design as much as anyone, but there ain’t no way I’m buying a mouse for $1200. I don’t care if it is made of hand-formed grade 1 titanium with a high-quality plastic finish. I also don’t care if it has a 3-button neodymium scroll wheel for smooth scrolling.

One of the things that I have never felt compelled to do is geotag images that I take with my digital camera. I am not a big world traveler and if I take pictures, they are usually within a 30-mile radius of my home and I can remember where they were taken.

If you like to geotag your images GiSTEQ has announce a new device called the PhotoTrackr Mini DPL900 that is smaller and faster than the original PhotoTrackr. The new device is about the size of a flash drive and adds new software features to the mix.

The keyboard is one of those places where germs lurk in the home and office.

The keyboard has a 50W UV light source that can kill all sorts of viruses and bacteria in seconds. The germs that can be killed include those that cause swine flu, MRSA and more. Vioguard claims the light can kill 99.99% of viruses and bacteria.

I couldn’t live without my DVR. I use it each time I watch TV and I haven’t watched commercials in a long time thanks to the DVR. What I would like to see is a DVR with more tuners that can send programs to any TV in my house. Pace has announced just such a product with a new multiroom DVR.

The multiroom DVR solution records and plays video back from a central NAS device to any TV connected in the home. The device enables full HD-DVR functionality on any TV connected. The system can distribute simultaneous HD streams around the home.

Like a young gal with a modeling contract, LED TVs just keep getting unhealthily thinner. It won’t be long before TVs are little more than sheets of paper on our walls. The Samsung Needle Slim model is a 40″ full HD LED backlight TV that measures just 3mm thick.

That’s pretty impressive when you consider that this 120Hz LCD panel has a 5,000:1 contrast ratio as well. It isn’t available to the masses just yet, but maybe Samsung will roll it out sometime soon.

Lenovo introduced a few new computers today, but the most interesting visually is the B500 all-in-one, which sports a sexy and stealth fighter like angular design. The IdeaCentre B500 isn’t just about looks though. It has decent specs.

Word on the street is that the Nintendo DSi may be getting a voice chat channel very soon. Nintendo has denied the rumor, but what would you expect? This is the company that offered up Wii Speak for the Wii.

Chatting on a DSi makes more sense. This sentence is what started the rumor:

To redeem a Nintendo DSi Download Ticket number, such as for the Nintendo DSi Speak Channel, enter the number off the Nintendo DSi Download Ticket in “Settings and Features” off of the main Nintendo DSi Shop page, then select “Nintendo DSi Download Ticket.

You’ve been praying for it and now at long last Netflix streaming will be available “later this year” on the PS3. Just like the Xbox 360, it will be free with the $8.99-a-month plan. But with the PS3, you’ll enable Netflix via an “instant streaming Blu-ray disc.”
