If not pampering but over pampering your kid is on your mind this birthday, nothing can beat the Okid phone as a perfect gift option. We are saying this, what can be better than a gift thatâs a cool combo of a chic mobile phone with a piece of your heart.
Got confused? Weâll help! The Okids phone is designed in a unique way to open up into a hearty shape. As your kid transforms the phone into the heart shape heâll get his hands on a Tetris handheld game. This is truly a kids phone as it does away with the possibilities of kids dialing any numbers at it does not have a num pad altogether, instead the word âMommyâ comes automatically fed into it.
If your kid wants more, you can get his phone loaded with another game invented by a brilliant Russian. The game is good enough to tease his intelligence levels and challenge him to get into the playing mode.
Designed keeping in mind the needs of a 5-6 years old kid, the phone offers them only what they actually need âgood amount of protection and loads of LOVE!

Posted in LCD, Television on 10 March 2008
After the Mirror Tv, hereâs a treat for those who are looking forward to do their interiors exclusively in leathers. And when we say entire interior we include that TV as well.
Now, if you are thinking, where in the world will you find a TV to match your leather interior, then let me tell you that itâs available at Hanspree. Though their creation looks more apt for the kids room as the TV lacks the sophistication and is rather cute enough for a kidâs room.
They offer a unique LCD TV with two-tone style in genuine leather exterior! Yes, it will look good to some and also unique enough to make your interiors stand out. Hope you donât stand alone out there
Coming to the specifications, HannsMilano as they call this LCD has a 9.6-inch screen (hope youâve got why we called it a kidsâ TV). Another absurd thing to note in HannsMilano is the handle on the top of the TV as if they are making it easy for a thief to pick and run away!
Only thing smart that I could find in this entertainment gadget is the cable management, that does away with that deadly sight of entangled cables here and there. So if you are game to get home the leather avatar of the TV, itâs available at Hanspree.

Posted in Eco Friendly, Speaker on 9 March 2008

I dunno why but these days Iâm getting into the eco-friendly mode. Whatever I do or buy seems getting influenced by the eco-friendly mantra. So as a part of the spree, my next buy will definitely be these Eco-Speakers, which are made with recycled materialâŚwhich means they make their share of saving the environment. And once we use them, weâll make our contribution to the good cause. A product of Fashionation, these speakers are not just good for the environment but also for your pocket as the price tag read a reasonable figure of $15. As far as the look is concerned, they are cutely small, light in weight and are available in a wide range of zingy colours and a variety of shapes. And the best feature is that you can fold them flat and adjust in the smallest of spaces that you have. Coming to the power, they derive it from your iPod or PC, so donât require any separate battery. In short these are a great music machine thatâs pocket friendly and environment friendly at the same time!

Here comes a perfect example of government who works for people and thinks for its people. We are talking about the London government who has started off the work to pad up al the poles and lamp posts across the city?
Now before you ask the obvious question: Why the hell the government is doin that Let me tell you itâs only for the citizens of the city who keep banging their heads into poles while they are busy text-messaging on their mobile phones! As per statistics 1 out of 10 London texters have broken their heads, thanks to their texting instincts.
Good that the government is so damn concerned about its people, but I guess thatâs sheer over pampering. Had this been the case in India, instead of those pads what would have come to the texterâs way was a BIG FINE. And thatâs probably the right thing to be done with the careless souls who take pride in doing wrong things at wrong time.
 Iâm in full agreement with geekologie when they suggest to add sharp spikes to the poles. Atleast that bump in the head will keep them off from texting while walking and get extra cautious on roads or the next feature on the London roads will be nothing but padded carsâŚfor texters bump there as well!
Posted in Charger on 8 March 2008

Here comes the time to chuck out those old chargers no matter they run on electricity or solar energy that keeps you dependent on the source of power, sun or something else. Why we are being so bad is for the simple reason that we have got something better- the kinetic charger, which is fueled by the energy generated by your movement. Yes, the kinetic charger is like an anklet that can be worn around your ankle and as and when you move your leg the charger gets charged to fuel your gadgets.
Must say an interesting and cool concept! Now you just need to shake a leg to charge your gadgetâŚbest for those who hit the floor every now and then. Their gadgets will never run out of battery!

Sorry to all those mommies who are cursing me for bringing this private gadget out in public. Guys I am not talking about any kinda mommy toy). But when you get to know Miji Rhoeâs concept of a breast milk pump, youâll definitely if not thank but be happy for the fact that at last somebody is thinking about this important yet neglected area.
No doubts breast milk is best for babyâs health but think about the mommy whoâs baby turns into a devil in no time when they show signs of teething and then come into picture the breast pumps. Most of which are ill-designed and ill-shaped, leaving the mommy pumping-pressing and pushing the most delicate area of her body, which requires utmost care just for the sake of the baby.
But, if this design of breast pump comes into picture, mommies will take a sigh of relief as it is design to eliminate pain to the fullest is convenient as well.
It features a nozzle pivots to hold the nipples that can be adjusted as per mommies comfort. Apart from this, it also offers 3 suction settings, for those hard times when you cannot get enough of it. (We hope itâs convenient in all the three settings).
