Wasn’t it the name “iPhone” taken by Cisco last year in December! Still remember the Cisco iPhone, which screwed up the dominance of the “i”-brand in the market by Apple ? Apple is just not so easy to let go its “i”-brand like that and the Apple iPhone has great features!

Some weird gadgets of 2006! Happy new year, see you all in 2007!

There are still couple of hours before we say goodbye to 2006. Lets take a look at some of the weird gadgets that had hit the market in 2006. I have just picked up 5 out of the 25 that I like most from TechDigest.tv’s list and added two more here:

1. Scratch n sniff MP3 player – This little iCool MP3 player from Japan, which has food-aroma. You have a choice of smell from chocolate, roses, lemon, strawberry, raspberry or blueberry.

2. Nabaztag - This little cute bunny is also in JRConnelly’s list as he fears any machine that’s better at Internet browsing than him. I personally think that this is quite a helpful one.

3. H-racer, the hydrogen car, a futuristic toy car that uses the technology that could power a full-size car in the future. It operates on 100% clean fuel produced by a miniature solar-powered hydrogen refuelling station – which converts water to hydrogen using energy captured from the sun.No combustion occurs inside the hydrogen fuel cell. The only exhaust discharge is pure water. It is really great modeling of the future polution-free vehicles!

4. Nimzy Vibro Blaster, a little gadget that turns any flat surface- wood, plastic, glass etc – into a loudspeaker.

5. Handmade beating heart, just a cushion-like “My Beating Heart”. It syncs to your own heartbeat, makes you calm and happy!

6. IBuzz, simply a sex toy, which makes use of the hot name of iPod to hit the market. Its funtion is the louder you play your iPod’s music, the faster it vibrates!

7. BreathCapture, a test-tube-like pendant, which lets you capture the stinking breath of your loved one and bring it along, so you can smell it anytime, anywhere.

Happy new year ! See you in 2007!
