Hasta La Gadget!

Gadget mavens ThinkGeek have worked together with TEC by Scottevest, and their collaboration has resulted in what they call the Tropiformer Jacket. This is no ordinary jacket, and any techie worth his or her salt would obviously know that Scottevest has come up with some snazzy clothing in the past which are extremely tech-friendly and travel-focused. The Tropiformer Jacket will arrive in a quartet of color options, where you have a grand total of 22 integrated pockets which were specially designed to distribute the weight your gadgets equally, so that you will not suffer from too many aching shoulders and the like once the adrenaline rush wears off.

Not only that, the Tropiformer will also come with magnetically attached sleeves that help transform this particular jacket into a vest in just a matter of seconds. Some of the other features include a dedicated tablet pocket, a Quick Draw Pocket, a Locking Pocket, and a Patented Personal Area Network (PAN) for internal cable (headphone and charger) management. The asking price? $149.99 a pop.

Remember back in the days when everyone on the street had at least one remote controlled toy, and you had to practically beg your parents to buy you one too this Christmas, so that you will not feel left out? Well, now that you are working, don’t you think that it is about time you treat yourself to the toys of your liking and interest? Case in point, the $169.99 R/C Wi-Spi Helicopter which is said to bring normal toys to the next level.

In a nutshell, you can deduce from the name of this particular toy alone that this will be a remote controlled helicopter that sports its very own integrated camera, and it is capable of transmitting live footage to a smartphone – regardless of whether it runs on the Android or iOS operating system, via an app. The R/C Wi-Spi Helicopter is also controlled using your smartphone or tablet of course, where you are able to save photos from the in-flight camera to your handset instantly, and follow that up with a quick share to a social network somewhere. I wonder whether kids who are curious to see their neighbors would use this to their advantage, and they might stumble upon some embarrassing scenes along the way, too.

All right, I know that yesterday was April Fool’s day, and we sure as heck covered our fair share of crazy gizmos that will never see the light of day (or will they? We shudder at the thought), so while we are in full swing where April 2nd is concerned, here is my last take for April Fool’s this year – with the $299.99 Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp, of course.

This is one idea that would definitely score points with fanboys should it be released to the masses, but unfortunately, as of right now, it will remain within the figments of one’s imagination, just like the fantasy storyline that the building itself is based on. The Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp is touted to be an exact model of Barad-dûr, the Fortress of Sauron, where it has been expertly recreated from the movie, all the way down to the finest detail. The roving eye will continue to make sure you give your best at work, and this thing, without an eyelid, sure as heck is creepy! No way Incognito mode on your Chrome browser is going to let you off the hook now when it comes to visiting questionable websites while you are at work.

Everyone loves video games, and other than parents who feel that video games are of the devil and teachers who think that kids are better off burying their noses in some revision book or another, video games exist to entertain, and it has grown to such a size that it would be folly to dismiss its importance in popular culture. Well, here is the $59.99 Adventure Time BMO Interactive Buddy that might catch your interest, especially for folks who own an iPad mini, as it is powered by such a tablet, allowing the BMO Interactive Buddy to play video games with you.

Bear in mind that this is a fully licensed piece of Adventure Time electronics device, and it allows you to enjoy just about every single game that you have ever seen from Adventure Time. All you need to do is own an iPad mini first, slide it on top of the BMO, and you are good to go, as the iPad mini will get the apps up and running in no time. Needless to say, these apps are free to download, where you can select from memorable titles such as Conversation Parade, Fighting Lincolns, Adventure Master, Guardians of Sunshine, Horse vs. Two Fighters Game, and That other one among others.

If you’ve followed Technabob for any period of time, you know that we’re big supporters of the development of 3D printing technology. I truly think that if there’s one tech sub-sector that’s going to blow up in the next decade and revolutionize industry, it’s 3D printing. And while speed and detail are things still left to the more expensive industrial printers out there, there are more and more options for the home 3D printing enthusiast. Now, you can get your kid started early with their very own Play-Doh 3D printer.

It was only a matter of time before the Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop got a 21st century makeover, and this new device is definitely a major step forward for kids with maker aspirations.

To print on the Play-Doh 3D printer, simply create your designs with the companion iOS app, and send them to the printer wirelessly. Then turn the crank to slowly see your design emerge. In no time at all, you’ll be printing out all sorts of objects. Just don’t try to eat them. Despite all of the advancements in technology, Play-Doh still doesn’t taste very good. I’ve tried.

The guys over at ThinkGeek have secured an exclusive for the first batch of Play-Doh 3D printers, so you’d better line up and head over there right away if you and your kids are ready to crank out some delightfully doughy objects of your very own.

UPDATE: Happy April Fool’s Day!
