The SlouchPod Interactive Gaming Chair

The makers of the SlouchPod claim that this interactive chair represents the next generation in Beanbags. I was never a huge fan of beanbag chairs, but this one may be an exception as it is completely wired for gaming and entertainment purposes. The SlouchPod features a digital control panel for mp3 players, games consoles, your TV or DVD, a computer or stereo. There are also built-in speakers with a subwoofer so you feel like you are in the center of all the action.
The only major boo-hoo about this chair is its hefty $600 price tag. But then again, Lazy Boy chairs are uber expensive, and they only massage you.

Despite Name, New Fatboy Gadget Cases Actually Quite Sleek

Fatboy, usually the purveyor of chic beanbag chairs, is bringing their casual modernity to gadget sleeves.

The Fatboy Undercover line includes soft, suede cases for laptops, cameras, and MP3 players constructed simply. I can imagine that that fabric makes for a nice, easy slide into another bag.

Though they can hold any brand, the sleeves say they're perfectly sized for the MacBook Air or 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro, depending on the style.

They're a little on the pricey side, with the cheapest thing (the iPod holder) at $19, and the most expensive (the largest laptop sleeve) at $99. Still, I'm a fan of the bright, happy colors and ultraplain profiles.

Massage Recliner With Voice-activated System

We've seen our fair share of techie chairs - from the iMedia chair, which looks like something that belongs in a hospital building, to the Souchpod chair, which is a fancy beanbag chair with digital control panels for mp3 players, games consoles, your TV or DVD, a computer or stereo. What we haven't seen is a chair that can take you on a magical, spirit lifting trip at the sound of your voice. The Inada Robo Chair Massage Recliner with Voice-activated System may do just that.

It features a voice-activated system that can adjust your reclining angle up to 170 degrees. Your voice can also activate the massage programs, position the 3D roller mechanism and regulate intensity. The massage recliner comes with three pre-programmed massage sittings for full body relief. It costs $5,999, but no one ever said you could get that kind of luxury for free.
