Suicide Bomb Box, don’t carry it on board!

This box simply looks sophisticated with couple of toggle switches, a big red button and seems like loaded with a bomb. If you weren’t the right owner who got the pass code in order to access its inner layer, a miss-touch would lead to suicidal explosion and turn you into part of the debris in the air. Please bear in mind too, this isn’t something that you could carry on board. Or else you’ll be treated as the most dangerous terrorist or drug smuggler ever. Is that a real Suicide Bomb Box or all the buttons and switches are simply faked for fun? What do you think? It’s just joke, Officer….But I feel like there is a pretty high chance of getting you detained at the airport if you were caught of carrying this box on board!

Transformer Bumblebee MP3/iPod speaker

Again, it’s for the movie Transformer. While it’s still hot, Brando has grabbed the opportunity here to release the Transformer Bumblebee MP3/iPod speaker, simply to coincide with the movie. This Transformer Bumblebee is only a speaker for your MP3 player or iPod. The little specialty with this guy is it dances along with your music and also flashes its lights along with the beats. A little annoying is it seems to ruin your music by mixing it up its own kind of “TRANSFORMER” sound effects.

Tree camera produces sound instead of picture!

Again, someone wants to take another challenge for the power of termites, has another gadget made of wood. That’s the Tree Camera, which is meant for sound but not for vision. It’s an MP3 player that is made into the shape of a camera. If you leave it on your work desk, it’d have most probably misled your colleague to pick it up and start pulling its lens cover off by force. Anyway, it’s just an MP3 player with 256MB built-in memory. It supports music files such as MP3, WMA and OGG and can be hooked to your PC’s USB port. The Tree Camera comes in three color options, which are the pink, blue and the natural. A wooden MP3 should be more lightweight than any average MP3 player or even your iPod?
