• Will the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic be the iPhone Killer?
  

Nokia recently launched their new touch screen phone, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It’s clear that they have used the iPhone as a model. However there are some interesting news compared to the iPhone. For example there is a handwriting feature that reads your handwriting, which means that you can write shorter messages directly on the screen.

The big advantage compared to the iPhone is that it is able to record video. Unlike the iPhone, you will also be able to send MMS and have video conversations. Nokia also claims it will be cheaper than the iPhone, 279 euro, but that might change before it reaches the stores.

It seems like a great phone but taking market shares from iPhone is hard. It will be interesting to see how well it will do.

Pitch a tent at the airport this holiday.

No, seriously, do it.

Anyone who has ever flown during the holidays, knows how annoying it is to be stuck in the airport for hours because your flight has either been delayed or canceled. Well, there is those out there who have felt your pain, and have now come up with the MiniMotel. Now you don’t have to stretch out on a bench to catch some shut-eye, you can now do it in your own private room in the MiniMotel.

This little mobile home is small enough to fit into your carry-on, but does cost you $50. If you’re afraid you’ll start snoring and drooling at Gate C2, then you might want to fork over the cash.

Of course, although you may have a small sense of privacy, that doesn’t stop every five-year-old from running over and peeking into your mobile home thinking it’s just like the play tents they saw at Toys R’ Us.

• Sears Savings: Save 10% at Sears
• Cool Stuff: A Grenade Mouse to Protect Your Cubicle

If you want to scare the crap out of your coworkers, start screaming some foreign language while running around the office, waving one of these around your head.

Waving what you ask?

Oh, just the most baddest and coolest mouse out there: The Grenade Mouse.

Yes, this thing is actually a working mouse hidden within the casing of a former live grenade. It’s really hard to look tough and cool sitting at your desk typing away. Why not have something that was originally made to take a life and blow it to a million pieces.

I wonder what would happen if you were to actually pull the pin.

Now all we need is for someone to come up with the M-60 keyboard and you’ll be one step closer to office domination.

Whoever said Sears was only for tools obviously has never set foot in their store.

They’re loaded with electronics, video games and a whole lot more. Yeah, they also have tools, if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyways, let me get straight to the point.

Right now when you go to their online store, you can save an 10% off almost EVERYTHING in the store. I say almost everything because there are some rules and restrictions you’ll have to check into.

Other than that, all you have to do is stop into Sears’s online store, shop, then enter in our free Sears Coupon Code for the extra savings during checkout.

Not everything you desire in life is necessarily something you either need or have any use for. But hey, at least you got’ve what wanted!

If there was ever a useless gadget to pay money for, it’s this: the USB Volcano.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “why would I need a volcano?” Well, that’s where I answer, “WHY NOT!?”

For $18, do you get a nice little eruption of fun on your desk to zone out to. Add a little water to this, plug this baby in and out pops some plastic lava. That’s it. And at night, you get a hint of the real thing when it lights up. Or just cut out all your lights and sit there, staring in the dark. Your choice.

So that’s it. Nothing less and nothing more. Just a simple little volcano.

I know, don’t get too excited. Check it out at Gadget4All.com.
