The Suo Xin ZT888 is a nice looking mobile phone from China that comes with an extra genuine leather case/battery for some reason. This caught my eye because of the call buttons. I’m pretty sure Apple doesn’t approve and I can only guess that they are trying to fool some morons into thinking that this is the new iPhone they’ve heard so much about.

This luxury phone comes in white and black, both with gold and sports a 2.4 inch display and 2.0-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Dual SIM slots, microSD slot and other basic functions like Calculator, Calendar, Memo, Alarm, World time, stopwatch and games. It will cost you $115.43. Probably the cheapest phone with an Apple logo.

If you’re a home theater snob who only considers projectors from companies like Christie or Barco worthy of your time, then please move on. But if you’re a financially restricted gaming enthusiast who would like to play on something bigger than the 19? CRT in your living room, this might be of interest. The Olens XPJ projector doesn’t pretend to be the top of the line in any department, but with a price tag of just $279 there’s no way it can be. It has a resolution of just 640×480, so you won’t be playing anything in HD, but depending on how far you place the projector from a wall or screen you can get an image that’s anywhere between 40 to 70 inches in size. Apparently if you try and push it larger than 70 inches, the image starts to noticeably degrade.

The TL9 is a camera built by Samsung which also is capable of MP3 playback and PMP functionality. The most unique feature of this camera has to be the dual analog gauges which represent battery life and memory usage. The analog features add a different touch to this camera and sets it aside from other cameras a little. Analog gauges are not ground breaking technology, but with them being visible all the time it’s easy to see what your camera has left in it.

So you’re chillin’ with your Clone Trooper laptop, wearing your flannel like George Lucas and waiting in line for that new Ewok action figure that has a big release today. But what you need is some tunes.

This is what you want right here. A Star Wars mp3 player. The front features a close-up of Darth Vader with glowing red eyes, which is cool, but sadly, this MP3 player only features 512MB of memory and a display that looks like it’s 30 years old. It does come with a built-in radio however. It’s currently out of stock at Amazon.co.uk, but ForbiddenPlanet will release a similar product shown above for about $80 US at the end of the month.

You might know of my lack of ability to wake up on time in the mornings. A number of clocks have been designed which “might” help me such as the Sonic Bomb, Clocky and a bunch of others which make a racket in order to force you out of bed. Philips have now changed this to now make a “cool” alarm clock.
