Looking like Data’s headset from StarTrek, these shades do more than shield your eyes form the sun. They are in fact are personal television screens, for your eyes only. Plug them into your iPod or media player like headphones and you’re free to watch your favorite movies, shows, or games anywhere you go. The original Myvu Solo Plus boasts a 320 x 240 resolution, which allows you to keep your peripheral vision intact, as well as 4 hours of battery viewing life and headphones that include noise reduction technology.

The website has a lot to say about this device, boasting a reliability at up to 50mph- perfect for those really nasty days- waterproof and rip proof nylon, and a design that will never flip-out. The dome-like look of the nubrella is intriguing, to say the least. Much like the popular bubble umbrella, the wind stands little to no chance of catching under this design, actually keeping you warmer as you walk. There is also the option to use a “shoulder support,” eliminating the need to hold you Nubrella in place.


Any science fiction fan (and probably any gadget addict, too) will tell you that "the future" (the real future, that is) has been a serious let down. No world peace, world hunger has yet to be wiped out, still no flying cars and, until recently, no personal jet packs. One of the classic cliches about the future was that it promised us each our own backpack-sized device that would allow us to get to school, work or just away, with just a quick press of the thumb.
Just when you thought print was dead (again), Esquire goes and announces that their September 2008 issue will have an E-ink cover. Yep, the technology that allows a piece-of-paper-like device to function as something just short of a video screen will be addorning the cover of 100,000 copies of the monthly magazine when it hits shelves in roughly two-month's time.
The Phonofone II from Science + Sons is the iPod speaker dock you want if you positively want to own the coolest, most eye-catching PMP speaker dock ever designed--that doesn't need an external power source. What's even better is that it will work with just about any audio source, assuming you can plug earbuds into it. If you're the average gadget freak, you're probably wondering why the PMP would need to have earbuds plugged into it and how the Phonofone II is supposed to work without a battery or being plugged into the wall.
