I like my GPS device when I am going on long trips, but I am not a big fan of the windshield mounting. My car has a deep dash and steep windshield, which means the GPS is a long way from me. The suction cup won’t stick to my dash though.

Bracketron has announced a new GPS accessory called the Nav-Mat II that is designed to sit on your dash and hold you GPS device. The mat is flexible and uses something called TemporBond to stay in place.

One of the reasons I love my big 30-inch LCD is the high resolution of 2560 x 1600. That resolution provides fantastic graphics for gaming and lets me get lots of stuff on the screen at once when working.

Projectiondesign has unveiled the world’s first WQXGA projector capable of 2560 x 1600 resolution using the Texas Instruments WQXGA DLP chip. The projector has HDMI, DVI-D, VGA, and component connectivity and supports HD resolutions.

I really like it when my gadgets can do more than one thing and when my gadgets have hardware that can do more than one thing I get excited. AuthenTec is talking about its contribution to the LG eXpo smartphone.

The eXpo uses the AuthenTec smart sensor that not only reads fingerprints for security, but allows navigation too. The sensor is sort of like a track pad fingerprint reader combo.

I really like the Dell Adamo notebooks. Mostly I like them because they are thin and look great. I don’t like the price that Dell wants for the things though. If you are like me and would like to have the svelte looks of the Adamo at a price more like a netbook, the Vostro V13 is for you.

The thin machine is only 0.65-inches thick and weighs 3.5 pounds. Those dimensions are almost dead on for the Adamo machine. The best part is that the V13 will sell for only $450 when it hits the market. For that much money, you get a 13.3-inch screen and a Core 2 ULV processor.

You know I thought about making this DIY batsignal, but then decided against it. I mean, Batman is really good about showing up whenever you light this thing up, but then when you start talking and turn your back, he always disappears. That’s just not cool. In fact, it’s rude.

But if you don’t mind his disappearing act, you can try your hand at it. You can find all the details for this Batsignal projector at Thingiverse. If you want to call another hero, you can even switch out the stencils.

Along with the picture above, Seagate has the following message “All These Planets Are Yours Except Europa, Attempt No Landing There.” And so Seagate has announced their first line of SSDs, named Pulsar. It’s a 2.5-inch drive in 50GB, 100GB and 200GB capacities.

The Pulsar drives are all 3Gb/s SATA compatible, with top read/write speeds of 240MB/s and 220MB/s. For comparison purposes, Intel’s X25-M hits 250MB/s read but only 100MB/s write, and the X25-M tops out at 160GB capacity.

This is a neat toaster design that mimics an inkjet printer. Sure, it doesn’t print on the butter, but what can you do? Still, we love the design. And we aren’t the only ones. Othmar Mühlebach’s design won second prize at the Berner Design Awards.

The design is refreshing and a nice change from the usual, looking modern and retro at the same time. The only flaw we see is that the bottom tray will be full of crumbs in no time. I’m not cleaning that up.

The Everio GZ-HD620 is the world’s smallest HD HDD camcorder, weighing in at only 270g. It’s also the lightest. It features 120GB of storage and the sensor is a 1/4.1″ 3.32-megapixel CMOS.

Other features include 30x optical zoom and 200x digital zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD screen and it will upload videos easily to YouTube. You also get a microSD/SDHC slot, USB and HDMI ports.

Check out these “Prank Pack” fake gift boxes. Great way to pull a prank on those you love this holiday season. Just be careful, they might get mad enough to throw punches. I know I would be pretty pissed off if I thought I was getting some sweet coffee mugs with built-in walkie talkies, only to open the box to find socks or some other crappy gift. So be warned, anybody who pulls this with me is in for a world of hurt. You don’t mess around with a man’s hopes and dreams.

Also available are: Beer Beard: Sneak beverages into sporting events under a fake beard, Birdie Belt: GPS rangefinder, belt, and buckle with integrated tools and tee storage, Noggin’ Net: Hat that doubles as a fishing net, Motorized Rolling Pin: 1/16-horsepower motorized rolling pin and the Wake & Bake Griddle: Combination alarm clock and breakfast griddle.

A couple of boffins from Japan’s Keio University didn’t have enough YouTube in their lives, so they have developed a microwave aimed at other geeks just like them. I’m talking a YouTube-powered microwave. Because heating up those hotpockets can get boring.

The “Castoven” is based on a conventional, unbranded model of “good quality” and features a 10.4-inch LCD screen in the door panel and speakers. It’s connected to a Mac, but could easily work with Windows computers as well.

Remember that James Bond movie with the Ice hotel? The entire hotel was sculpted out of Ice and it’s for real too. Everything in the hotel is completely usable. Similarly, artist Katie Paterson taken the idea and made recordings of 3 glaciers (the Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull and Solheimajökull) of Iceland.

She pressed them into three records that were cast and frozen with the melt water from each of the glaciers. When the time came, the records were played on three separate turntables non-stop until they melted. The process took only 2 hours.

Nokia’s latest concept phone kicks things up a notch. The Nokia Unik was designed by French designer Clement Logereau and consists of 152 small tiles that allow the handset to transform itself. Well, you will have to transform it by adding new squares that are different in material and color.

The squares can be added after you purchase them from Nokia stores. Once they have your money, they come in metal, transparent and rubber. Yeah, it’s easy to see that this one will forever remain just a concept.

Us guys don’t give women nearly enough credit. It ain’t easy being a woman, what with their monthly visits, the pain of giving birth and pressure to be rail thin, just to name a few of the trials they face. Then there are the gynecological visits. They don’t have it easy.

Millions of women go to their gynecologists every year for uncomfortable Pap Smear tests to make sure everything is working. Well, Zilco wants to help reduce the amount of waiting time to get results and eliminate stress with a new device that can do a quick and painless pap smear.

Amazon’s Kindle is about to take things to the next level as it will soon have features for the blind and vision impaired, thanks to an audible menu system that allows anyone to navigate easily. They are also tossing in a new super size font that is double the height and width of the current largest.

The new features should roll out by next summer. We’re always saying around here that we need more devices to help the blind, so this is great news. It will be interesting to see what they add after these features.

Hey you. Hardcore Trekkies. Get your face out of that cheetos bag, put down that green Orion babe love doll and listen up. Here’s your chance to use the Klingon language. Again.

You can now tweet in Klingon using this Twitter application. Please use this and right away. That way the rest of us can spot you easily and stay the hell away. That is all. Now you may go back to your fan fiction where data and Picard share a sweaty forbidden love, while Worf watches with a breaking heart.
