The real question is, who doesn't wish they could control their iPod or iPhone with a tiny ring? When I came up with the idea for iGems I never considered how great it would be if the jewelry actually manipulated my Apple devices. Of course, I'm not a designer like Victor Soto, who came up with the stylish design for the iRing.

The iRing allows you to control playback and volume on any of your Apple media devices and features a bright OLED status display with touch-sensitive function strip, and a rechargeable battery life of up to 2 days. It's just a concept, but I love it.

When the going gets tough, the tough go walking? Lil ones aren't always the speediest beings, and when mama's in a hurry, they have a knack for moving at a snail's pace. Getting in and around the mall, or through a busy zoo, is often easiest when they're off their feet and in a stroller.
