Incipio Destroyer Overkill iPad Case
Super Mario Crossover
I always knew Mega Man would be a beast in Super Mario. Here’s your chance to play the original game using another vintage video game character. Flash games are still one of the best ways to waste time at work. Retail $FREEDSLR Camera Strap Slipcover
The standard Canon and Nikon DSLR straps that come with the camera are really boring. Etsy designer HappySnapz offers fun handmade strap slipcovers made of 100% cotton. They also feature a small pocket for the lens cap. The perfect gift for a stylish photography friend. Retail $18.50Sony NWZ-W252 Walkman
The new Sony NWZ-W252 Walkman is exactly what you need for active training. Since everything is contained in the headphones, you don’t need to worry about a headphone cord getting caught on gym equipment. It’s not a pretty site when a headphone cord snags while pumping your arms hardcore on the elliptical machine. For those of you that love training outdoors rain or shine, the new Walkman is also water resistant. I just wish it came in the classic Sony Sports yellow. Retail $59.95
“Use the included USB cable to get up to 90 minute charge in just 3 minutes. With an impressive total battery life of up to 11 hours, the W252 is ready when you are.”
Desk Phone Dock
Talk about taking a step backwards. The Desk Phone Dock turns your wireless iPhone into a corded desk phone. Brilliant! This is not a rinky dink “As Seen On TV” device. The base is constructed of processed aluminum with coated plastic for the handset. Charge, sync, speakerphone, stereo speakers, volume knob, and push button mute all-in-one. Retail $TBD
“Desk Phone Dock will have its premiere at the China Sourcing Fair in Hong Kong. For business contacts and/or meetings at the show, please email us at contact@keeutility.com.”
Toktumi Line2 for iPhone
Very cool app if you like having separate phone numbers for business and personal. The coolest feature is that you can place outbound calls by either cell or Wifi. So if you’re in a crappy AT&T service area but have a 3G/Wifi signal you’re all good. Line2 also has the ability to host conference calls with up to 20 people and it supports visual voicemail. It’s a very robust application for power iPhone users or if you’re really popular. I still can’t believe this app got approved. Retail $14.95/month
Vlingo SafeReader for BlackBerry
This handy app reads your text and email messages to you while you are driving. Simply turn the feature on when you get in the car and any new messages that arrive will be read aloud. Oprah would be proud. Retail $FREE (upgrade to Vlingo Plus for $19.99 one-time)
Motorola i1 with Push-to-Talk

BlueAnt T1 Rugged Bluetooth
According to Australian company BlueAnt, the T1 is the best anti-wind noise headset ever built. It also is the first Bluetooth headset to offer caller name announcement. You can accept or reject the call by either saying “Answer” or “Ignore”, respectively. “The T1 also offers A2DP for streaming audio of podcasts and turn-by-turn directions from GPS applications on your mobile phone.” If you are constantly on-the-go outdoors or drive a Ferrari California, this headset should fit the bill. Talk time 6 hours, standby 120 hours. Retail $79.99 (available May 2010)
