Snowboard Simulator



While Wii Fit is probably a more affordable way to simulate some skiing or snowboarding action in the off-season, I’m pretty sure it’s not the most effective way to train for a real competition. But the Olymp most definitely is. You’re not going to be squeezing one of these in your living room, since the platform is almost 23 feet wide, but it’s capable of simulating different slope characteristics and really gives you the feeling of carving your way down a mountain, whether on skis or a snowboard. In fact the pictures don’t really do the Olymp justice, so you’ll want to check out the video included below to see this thing in action. It definitely looks like a real workout. Source

Dareway - Segway Scooter For Kids



Put away the go kart plans you’re looking at and pass on the kid’s bike, if you want the title of world’s greatest dad, you’re going to have to fork over some cash and purchase a Dareway.

What is this kid’s vehicle you might ask?

The Dareway is a knockoff Segway transporter but designed specifically for kids. From the look of the child’s face, it looks like he’s having a blast, but as a parent, would you buy something for your child that has the word “dare” in it? Isn’t that just tempting faith?

The Dareway is motor operated and comes with a 12v rechargeable battery. A foot accelerator controls forward and backward motion while thumb controls help with steering. Source

USB Voip Handset - Star Trek Communicator



The cult classic Star Trek is known for many antiquated gadgets, one of them being the Star Trek communicator. I can’t remember how many times you’d see Captain Kirk down on an alien planet using the communicator to ask Scotty in the transporter room to “beam me up”. Star Trek fans can now pick up their own personal communicators to chat with other trekkies on the net. The retro handsets are USB Voip enabled and replicate the communicator from the Sci-Fi series right down to the flip lid and the original sound effects. Unfortunately, this isn’t a wireless handset, so you will be tethered to your PC by means of an extra long USB cable (6 feet in length). These communication devices ship in sets of 4 with each one retailing for $75.

HydroGlass



Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you have the HydroGlass. This is one showering system anyone would love to have in his or her spa room. The HydroGlass by HydroCo is a truly innovative way to engage the senses during wet room treatments. The glass tank beneath can be used as an aquarium or simply as a standard glass tank to house sand and rocks. It can be used to create an array of environs –a desert, a deep ocean, a green tropical rainforest or anything. All you need to do is imagine. The swing-away Vichy shower rainbar is fixed to the foot end of the table. Individual showerhead flow control enables a reduction in water consumption by as much as 80% compared with a traditional Vichy shower treatment. The organic design accommodates tile, wood or metallic trim. Built with a polished stainless steel under-support frame, the table features a white-frosted toughened glass top with a fabricated gray slate, decorated with black ceramic tile inlay on the top and side surfaces.

Sony OLED Walkman



Considering that we're holding a Japanese unit in our hands, our impressions of Sony's OLED Walkman will be somewhat limited. That said, we figured it prudent to pass along our initial judgments until the US model shows up sometime between tomorrow and next century. After giving the flashy PMP a photo shoot yesterday, we spent the rest of the day (and night, we won't even front) toying with Sony's most hyped Walkman in quite some time. Eager to hear just how fantastic / horrible this critter is? Follow us past the break for our two pennies. Source
