HTC Touch HD2 coming to the US next year
Peter Chou, the CEO of HTC that the company’s just revealed HD2 would be available for the US as early as 2010 but what he did not mention or did not want to mention was which carrier will be carrying the HTC! I wonder why? This phone is a multi-touch Windows mobile smartphone and it will only need a switch in 3G support to work with AT&T or T-mobile in the US. This HTC Touch HD2 is likely to see US shores after few months of the European release. If such a switch does take place, then the carriers could be Verizon or Sprint.

The self-stirring mug eliminates the need for a spoon
The ultimate geek not only looks for a natty message to flaunt on his T-shirt, but he believes in doing so with poise. I have found an amazing accessory for all of you who agree with me. It’s called the self stirring mug from Gadgetshop which reads “Make Tea not War”. Ahem, this message could be endorsed by all those who’ve engaged in radical disconcerting activities or on a lighter note, all the siblings who’ve just been bullies. The mug is so cool; it eliminates any need for a stirrer or spoon, which is a great thing when you go travelling. It has a ‘stir’ button on the handle and the built-in propeller at the base starts stirring your drink for you. It’s for $16 which isn’t a big price to pay when you could be called a “Geek with a Game” Any TV producers happen to be reading this?
Dynamic Hand Powered lamp saves your electricity bills
Karin Johansson’s lamp is a wonderful and eco-friendly concept that uses the globe of the earth as your source of light and the kinetic energy of your hands as the source of power. A dynamo placed inside the globe converts the kinetic energy to light, when you spin it. It’s amazing how the globe glows without the aid of power supply or batteries. The concept is designed to facilitate the generation (conversion rather) of energy where you are, instead of transporting it in all directions across the earth. In the process, the human body is made to do some exercise too. Don’t forget to check out the video after the jump…

Slap Chop blades your veggies in seconds
Pulling out and assembling together the high-tech chopping appliances is certainly not the best idea when one is in a hurry.

Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse is tacky
I simply hate it when our gadgets are given a ‘bling’ makeover. The tacky and shiny golden color just ruins the appeal and look of the gadgets. Have a look at the Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse and you will immediately agree with my views. Rechargeable via a USB port, the mouse is 3 buttoned, and has a clickable scroller. This ugly high tech mouse which is not even made of real gold is the best example of ‘bling’ gadgets that will never find their way in my home.

Feline Evolution CatSeat: Time to potty train your cat
Every pet owner would be relieved if their pet was potty trained at birth itself. The amount of hours and effort it takes to potty train your loving companion is just insane.

Vage scale helps to stop fretting over pounds gained or lost
I have been one of those people obsessed about weight and the weighing scale. And let me tell, the weighing machine is a very evil device. It's the work of the devil! However, we finally have Vage which is a weighing machine that appreciates human emotions and sensitivity and is against the trend of size zero. The best part about it is that it avoids showing each gram and only displays he vage convergence to the entered ideal weight. All that happens is that the display sways in the red or green area.
