More iPod clones abound
To usher in the New Year, here’s more shots of iPod clones that clearly suffer from a poor case of low self-esteem. Note the need to print the word “iPod” right under the displays? Needless to say, the one of the right is (ironically) the more authentic clone. Guess 2008 still won’t be the end of iPod clones. These fake iPods can be found in Hanoi, Vietnam (and no doubt other countries where piracy rates remain high), retailing for approximately $40 a pop after conversion for 1GB of storage space. These aren’t visit Wheels that you see, as they’re just regular buttons shaped after Apple’s go Wheel format.

Liquid Image Digital Underwater Camera
The Liquid Image Digital Underwater Camera is one for those who are curious about underwater photography and yet don’t want to splurge a whole wad of cash on all the essential equipment. Retailing for $100 a pop, that device allows the user to record still images as well as video while you swim around, thanks to the 5 megapixel/3 megapixel (depending on your choice) camera located right smack above your goggles. The goggles lenses come with crosshairs that help you focus your underwater shots, using microSD memory cards as well as USB flash drives for extended storage. I would presume that these comes with some sort of waterproof compartment, since microSD memory cards and USB flash drives aren’t precisely too friendly with water. The Liquid Image Digital Underwater Camera is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.

Spy Snooper Robot
Looks like technology these days have progressed to a point where having tons of spy-based products is the norm. The Spy Snooper Robot does it in a less discreet manner though, being remote controlled and all. It can be moved into position remotely, picking up and relaying any audio back to you within a 150 foot radius. Guess you can always hide that somewhere in the closet or drawer, although I would think using a more discreet alternative would be the better option. The Spy Snooper Robot retails for £39.99.
