Projectors are getting pretty popular these days amongst businesses and consumers, and we are still not to the point where all of us can have a projector on our cellular phone for our video footage. I suppose this is why the iJector was invented. All the user needs to do is stick their iPhone or iPod on the dock, and you can project them at a great brightness at up to 50 inch diagonal. The resolution has a low resolution at about 557 x 234. It weighs in at about 120 grams and has dimensions of 195×145x96mm.

It isn’t often that we report on record players, for obvious reasons. Of course, there are some people who are like Nicholas Cage in The Rock who believe that LP records “sound better”. I am assuming that if these type of people can afford to buy old vinyl records, then they can afford fine record players like the Gabriel Turntable. Perhaps they can afford the Void LP Player if it ever becomes more than just a concept. If it does get made, then what you see in the photo is not a special effect.

Although it might seem like having a vacuum that sanitizes the floor is going a little over the top, I can understand the logic behind it. After all, you track in all kinds of things from the outdoors onto your floor. Then if you have kids, you have a whole different set of issues. Let’s face it, kids are just plain dirty. They bring in germs from other kids and then get the rest of the family sick. Plus if you have extremely young kids, they might enjoy playing on the floor, which puts them in direct contact with a very dirty area.

I've got to give this Q-Sound headphone concept from Shepeleff Stephen top marks for its design. Not only does it look great, it is also innovative in its use of solar technology. After all, it makes sense to power Bluetooth headphones with a small solar panel stretched across the headband—an area that could be easily exposed to the sun.
