Put the video games down and play some Portable Air Hockey instead. This is a portable version that comes with an integrated fan within the puck, allowing it to float across a table or flat surface easily. All you need to figure out is how wall off the sides of your table so you aren’t breaking things.

Portable Air Hockey will cost you $14.99. For that price you get a puck, paddles and a set of nets. Sounds like a lot of fun.

If you are worried about a gas leak, you don’t want to just rely on your nose. The LED Gas Detector will do a far better job at telling you if there is gas in the air. The device will detect the most common flammable gases like propane, butane, acetylene and natural gas.

Handy for checking for gas leaks in pipes, your hot water heater, propane grill tanks and more. The gas detector has an LED indicator and an alarm that will activate when flammable levels of gas are detected. The green light means it’s safe and the red light means danger.

The 1TB Origin Storage portable hard drive comes with built in hardware encryption to protect your valuable and highly secret data. The device is available in two versions. The Pro version features 128bit AES hardware encryption, while the Enterprise version features 256bit hardware encryption.

Both models boast an LCD screen that can be used to enter an 18 digit PIN number in order to access the drive. These hard drives can also detect brute force and malware attacks and can be set to self destruct and clean all of the data from the device should you need it.

The Lighthouse SQ7 is described as a Social Media tablet and so will run both Facebook and Twitter. Oddly, it relies mainly on its built-in voice recognition engine to get input from the user. The tablet boasts a 7″ touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, Wi-Fi, and the Samsung ARM S3C6410 667MHz processor.

Oh and 128MB RAM and 1GB of internal memory, all powered by a 4,500 mAH rechargeable battery which will give you up to 5 hours of non-stop use. The Lighthouse SQ7 will ship on October 7th for $249.

Looks like LG is jumping on the portable hard drive bandwagon with their new line of XD3 Slims. These trim hard drives measure just 13mm thin and sport rubber-padded sides for impact protection. They connect by your USB 2.0 port, but the XD3 Slim can also connect using SATA II.

Storage capacity maxes out at 500GB. The 320GB model should arrive in Europe and North America for about $90 later this year. They look pretty good. We really like the brushed aluminum finish.

Sharp just announced the DK-AP8P and the DK-AP7P, two portable iPod speakers. The DK-AP8P is the more powerful of the two, with a special front face plate that acts as a control panel. The magnetic cover can also be removed from the main system and used as a remote control.

The shared features of this pair include 2.1 sound with built-in subwoofers, compatibility with a wide range of iPods and iPhones, and they also act as a charger when your device is docked. Expect a battery life of about six hours, and if you want some private time, you can plug in your headphones.

The Sony Bravia line of TVs aren’t just all about huge TVs for your living room, they also want to help you with keeping things portable, with the XDV-S700. The XDV-S700 is the latest portable Bravia 1Seg TV that features a mere 5mm chassis with a 5” widescreen display that sports WQVGA resolution.

Other features include 2GB of Internal memory, an integrated FM and AM radio in case you get sick of TV, and double the reception sensitivity of older models. No info on pricing, but it shouldn’t be too bad.

Between Rock Band and Guitar Hero, it’s amazing you have any room left in your house that isn’t occupied by plastic instruments. Do you even have room for DJ Hero? Probably not. But here’s a clever solution.

This retractable Rock Band/Guitar Hero controller from NEXiLUX can fold down to a tiny size for easy storage. And it still has all the buttons you need to rock out. It’s compatible with the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. Sadly there’s nothing on a price or release date just yet.

ViewSonic has introduced a wireless video streamer and a portable SVGA projector. The WPG-350 wireless video streamer can stream 1024 x 768 presentation slides over a Wi-fi network and you can even watch video on a remote VGA device on a remote system.

Next up, the PJD2121 is an advanced ultra-portable DLP projector built with BrillantColor technology that features a 800 x 600 resolution with 400 lumens and a 1,800:1 contrast ratio. The ViewSonic WPG-350 retails for $199 and the ViewSonic PJD2121 retails for $449.

iLuv has outed a few new portable USB adapters in the iLuv iAD116 and the iAD117. The iLuv iAD116 only has one USB port, while the iAD117 features three USB ports. Both USB adapters will accept voltages from 100 to 240V at 50 or 60Hz, making them perfect for those who are always traveling or on the go.

Each USB port features outputs of 5V 500mAh, which is suitable for most portable devices, like your PMPs, digital cameras and cellphones. The iLuv iAD116 and iAD117 retails for $14.99 and $19.99 and should come in very handy.

The Portable Tap Dispenser is a backpack with a dispensing tap that holds whatever brew you choose. It keeps the party firmly on your back. It also has a cupholder. Not since ghostbusters have backpacks been so cool. I don’t know about you, but I would rather be drinking than catching ghosts. Still, don’t cross the streams, that would be bad.

We don’t know what the capacity is, but it looks big enough to get you good and drunk. Maybe then you’ll see ghosts and try to catch them with beer. It will cost you $35.

If you’re in the market for a spare monitor, this is a nice looking one. The Mimo 710-S is the “Mobile Slider” edition of their existing line. It’s a 7-inch, 800×480 USB monitor that opens like a laptop and features 90 degree rotation so you can view it however you like.

Oddly this one costs just $20 more than the existing Mimo 710. So if portability is not an issue, you may as well go for the older model. The 710-S will be released this month for $150. It’s a pretty useful design. Just pop it in your laptop bag when traveling.

When your music sounds like sh*t, you might as well flush it down the toilet right? Let’s face it, speakers shaped like toilets probably have a sound to match the shape, but if you’re buying these, you probably just like toilet shaped things.

Only $14.99 each. Like your music, your cash will get flushed away. I’m guessing this is aimed at the crowd who puts broken toilets on the lawn as planters. Seriously, would any of you buy this?

Why bother dusting off that old TurboGrafx console when you can just build your own portable version? Not everyone has the skills, but that’s what modder “Bacteria” did.

Dubbed the IntoGrafx, this portable allows you to play TurboGrafx and PC-Engine HUcard games using the original hardware and original game carts, not emulation. This one weighs in at just 750g and measures 215 x 135 x 55mm. As usual he did an awesome job. That was a fun console to play back in the day.

The 8-Track may be long dead, but it’s not forgotten. Just ask Cheap Trick. It lives on in the hearts and minds of a generation that loved Disco, turntables and Three’s Company.

And while a portable 8-track walkman seems like a ridiculous idea, someone has actually gone and done it. Of course, it isn’t tiny, but it’s probably the most portable 8-track player ever made. At least that we know of.
