Have you ever gone running without any pockets? Sucks don’t it, especially if you’ve gotta take your house keys with you. Although I think these shoes are intended for walking only (hence the name), they include a hidden compartment in the left shoe’s midsole for storing keys, credit cards, cash and other similarly sized objects. Apparently the compartment won’t impact support, flexibility or comfort and your credit cards will remain crack free. Reminds me of Kangaroo Sneakers, which featured pockets in the tongue of the shoe.
The DigitalRist D-RiseTM m600i is quite simply out of control. Not only is it unlocked for use with any SIM card, but it rocks a touchscreen, a 1.3 megapixel camera, mp3 player, voice recorder, Bluetooth, expandable from 60mb to 512mb flash memory, and more. What, no GPS? The only draw back: it only works in Europe and Australia. Price: $320 (350AU)
Being a musician has its perks, especially when it comes to getting ‘tail’. What better way to show off your devotion to the guitar then with the Orpheus wallet. Built into the outer skin are 3 pick holding slots.
The Colombo One and Colombo Two are purely an aesthetic play on the classic phone. Inspired by Italian designer Joe Colombo, the phones come in two styles (upright or laying down) and are available in 3 different colors: white, black; ‘Bobby Trolley Green’ for the One and ‘Special Orange’ for the Two.
I wrote about a ‘floating bed‘ back in July ‘06. It went for a cool $200,000 for a 1/5 scale model. The full scale went for over $1 million. Hoverit Lounger is essentially the same thing, but in an acrylic like lounge chair that you’d fine pool side at the hippest Hollywood hotel pool. It uses opposing magnets and costs a reasonable $11,500. Hoverit plans to release a fully cushioned version in March. The pics don’t really show full flotation but it’s good enough.
These guys originally brought us the Beerbelly. If you caught us on Fox New Boston just a year ago then you’d know this. Now they’re bringing us a device the actually enhances one’s figure - the beer belly makes you look fat - all the while providing 25oz or 750ml of concealed liquid. Copy on the site reads “Better than a Boob Job and Cheaper Too! Not to mention the savigns on over priced drinks.” Nope, I didn’t misspell. I think they were just drunk after taking one too many pulls of the ‘wine rack’. This truly does ROUND out there product line - zing! Apparently the device works best with A or B cups. Maybe we’ll see if I can score one and get some chicky in on it.
Available here, ships sometime mid November, comes in two sizes and will cost $29.95

I gotta be honest…I didn’t take a single puff out of this thing, but its ‘wow’ factor is more then enough to show it off to friends and family. Very easy to use. Just draw back the metal slide, insert the brown or green stuff, pull the trigger and you’re in business. What makes the Solopipe truly unique is the ‘all in one’ build - refillable butane lighter and pipe. The sliding door keeps the ‘tobacco’ safely in place during travel and its solid metal build means you can toss it between friends. I’m not a smoke but I am truly impressed with this device.
Official site here. No price mentioned on the site and you’ll have to email (info@solopipe.com) to get ordering info. Sorry, no shopping cart.
Update: My buddy pointed a few key things - only something a smoker would know.
1) What do you do when it gets clogged? There are two screws but this thing don’t look built for disassembling.
2) The screen that holds the (wacky) tobacco doesn’t seem replicable, let alone accessible.
3) Lastly, when’s the last time you smoked out of a metal pipe voluntarily? Comment below if you have some thoughts.
