3. I found this really small projector (http://www.merlin-digital.com/product_reviews_info.php?products_id=56&reviews_id=2)
The idea of such a small projector is really great. Its like carrying a small box with great power within. the clarity it promises is mind blowing and the price is less than the other heavy projectors and carrying those big projectors would make you look like a dumbo.
this slick gadget can be carried around to have fun when with friends and work when and whereever it matters

3. I liked the car mp3 player. It converts your any kind of flash drive or harddisk into an mp3 player. The more attractive part is the lowest price of $25. I would recommend the same to everyone who own a car. Even you have the fm functionality. Its just awesome, check out here.

3. Now how cool is the Photobank USB external hard drive. 250GB external USB drive, which is nothing spectacular, but combine that with the ability to transfer photos and items from removable media, and you have a truly portable storage device.
