Sing your heart out with iKaraoke

The iKaraoke from Focal is definitely the essential iPod accessory to purchase for those who love singing their hearts out no matter where they are. Each purchase comes with a microphone and an FM transmitter that works anywhere between the 76MHz and 90MHz range. Of course there will be others who will want to practice their American Idol numbers by enabling the "vocal cut" feature that cancels the singer's voice on the MP3 files, serenading those around them with their "award winning" voice. There is no word on pricing or availability at the moment.

Digital WiFi detector has good nose

Since wireless networks are all the rage these days, I have always wondered just how many WiFi networks are there around me at any given time? Those questions can easily be answered with the $70 Digital WiFi Detector from ThinkGeek. This device will definitely come in handy for those who need to carry out a Skype conversation, send some e-mail, or even have a round of Mario Kart DS while on-the-go. The Digital WiFi Detector comes with a backlit LCD display and shows you various information such as the security status, channel, SSID, and WEP and WPA encryption. Powered by a couple of AAA batteries, the Digital WiFi Detector is capable of sniffing out wireless networks within a 200 feet radius.

Xun Chi 138 - World’s Smallest Cell Phone

Germany-based MobileGadgets gives us a brief hands-on look at the Xun Chi 138 — touted as the “world’s smallest cell phone”. Just to recap, it features a TFT-LCD touchscreen display w/handwriting recognition, 1.3-megapixel camera, music player, and a host of multimedia functions. Video after the jump.

…"the Xun Chi 138 is scarcely larger than an AA battery and it weighs just two ounces. Too small to even dial, it requires you to use a stylus on a touchscreen and plug in a headset to talk and listen"

Try to imaging one day your handphone will just small as your bluetooth headset or ever integrate into our body...

Look ma, no hands

Unless you're a tourist in some remote area where there is no sign of civilization for the next 10 miles, I don't think there is a drastic need to go out and purchase the Extendable Hand Held Tripod. For $19.99, you get a tripod that makes you look silly while taking self-portraits. Despite holding the title of being the first extendable hand held tripod in the world, it's use is actually pretty limited as some of us prefer to snap photos with a large background, and this can only be achieved by trusting a local to capture that moment. I have yet to turn down any tourist's photo request, and I am sure nobody around the world are heartless enough to help somebody in need of an impromptu photographer.

Voice-activated Christmas tree lights

Decorating a Christmas tree can be a very religious experience for some, as it is a time of bonding and sharing between family members. The tree also reflects in some ways, the entire family's outlook in life. No matter what tree you have and how well-decorated it is, some of us still forget to place the tree at a strategic place when the power switch is easily accessible. The Intela Voice Dimmer ensures that doesn't happen as you can turn on and off your Christmas tree lights by speaking a pre-programmed word or phrase. Just make sure the activation phrase is something obscure and uncommon like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and you won't have the lights going on and off at the most inopportune moments. You can pick up the Intela Voice Dimmer for $14.99.
