Robotic vacuum cleaner

This is probably one of the best gadgets ever invented. (My flatmate got his from here.)

More Christmas gift ideas

After the Wii, remote control helicopters look to be the top Christmas present this year. The Silverlit Radio Control Helicopter looks pretty cool :)

There's also something for the impatient grown-ups among us. Another gadget is the Tefal Quick Cup. You don't have to wait for the water to boil before you make your drink, it comes out boiling hot... and it's apparently more energy efficient than the old fashioned kettle!

Five octave piano in your pocket

Here's the ultimate portable piano keyboard! 61 soft rubber keys, 16 keys can be used at once and it can be connected to a PC. With a jack for headphones or amp, recording functionality and demo songs, it's a winner!

Awesome car alarm

Speaking yesterday of traffic wardens, I think having this somewhat fearsome Tesla coil car alarm might put a stop to any parking tickets...

Big enough for ya?

Ignoring the fact that you'd get a serious amount of neck strain from having one of these, you've got to admit that the new giant monitor from Siemens would make quite a cool Christmas present. Imagine how great it would be to hook a Wii up to it!

Monitoring my sleep

I got a SleepTracker watch recently. It's a gadget that detects "almost awake" moments during the night, so then when it approaches a time window I've set for wanting to get up, the watch will work out the best moment to wake me. The potential elimination of morning grogginess was too appealing!

Fortunately there's a 30 day moneyback guarantee. It's still got a few problems, for example, I was already awake when the alarm went off this morning. There's a more comprehensive review here. Shame really. It has given me a good idea for a future project though.

Cool Pool Lounger

A pool, summer sun, one of these motorized pool loungers, and maybe a waterproof tv strapped onto it as well. Can't think of many better ways to watch England win the world cup!

Sharks with frickin' laser beams

Cool gadget of the day - a laser keyboard. I'd probably get one of these if I had a PDA... But what if the laser shines in your eye? You could get some anti-laser contact lenses...

Whatever will they think of next - send hugs using a robotic pillow?!
