Oprah Latest Gadget: An Inauguration Countdown Keychain

GeekSugar — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 06:00:02 -0800

Oprah is going to be quite the busy bee this week as she broadcasts her show from the Kennedy Center Opera House, in Washington D.C., to be in the center of all of the inauguration action. Already getting excited for the big day, Oprah unveiled her latest gadget obsession - an inauguration countdown keychain - which looked similar to one of these during her Friday's Live show this past week. She noted that her new pal, Silicon Valley investor Sam Perry (who she wept on during the election night victory rally in Chicago), sent her the digital keychain as a gift.

You Know Anything Called a Sidecar Has To Be Cool

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 08:00:02 -0700

Insecure about your coolness? Pick up one of these little Sidecar device pouches by English Retreads, a company that crafts bags and accessories out of reclaimed truck inner tubes, and get the mojo flowing.

Not only are you supporting an environmentally conscious company that puts my pantry kitchen recycling bin to shame, but I like that I can't define the Sidecar as a camera, iPod, or cell phone case - it's lined and big enough to fit a few things in there. I'd attach it to my keys to run errands or pop it into my bag and keep my essentials together.

Tao Finally Does The Digital Keychain Thing Right

GeekSugar — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 11:00:43 -0700

We've seen a couple of permutations of the digital picture keychain. Some are oval and colorful, some are shaped like cameras and some are too chunky to be considered practical. The new keychain from Tao, however, seems just right. It comes in brushed metal (shown below), polished silver, gold and a black and sliver combo and costs $49.99, which is comparable to other high-end designs. I love the fact that they can hold 31 pictures and are PC and Mac compatible. They also run on a rechargeable battery, which makes them both efficient and easy to deal with.

Electronic Bubble Wrap Keychain

GeekSugar — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 04:30:01 -0700

One of the best things about being a gadget freak is a constant stream of packages filled with bubble wrap. Sure it isn't earth-friendly, but no I don't know anyone who can walk by it without a pop or two.

Enter the gadget you never knew you never needed - but still totally want. The PuchiPuchi is a small keychain gadget that lets you experience the joy of popping bubble wrap over and over again. Apparently, the Japanese device features eight buttons that each make a popping sound when you press them. Even better, there are bonus popping sounds like "door chime" and "sexy voice" every 100 pops.

The Oval Digital Photo Keychain

GeekSugar — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 15:00:44 -0700

Digital picture keychains are something I haven't had the chance to take for a test drive. I'm assuming they'd make the perfect gift for proud grandparents and doting soccer moms or even the party girl in us all.

From what I've read and heard, they are ridiculously easy to use. For instance with this digital picture keychain by Brando, all you have to do is insert the software, connect the keychain to your computer via the included USB cord and start uploading photos. This oval model is said to hold up to thirty-five images, but I'm sure that will depend on quality and size of your pictures.

Each keychain only costs $23 and is available in blue, red and yellow.

My Favorite Gadgets Pick: Digital Camera Keychain

GeekSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:00:26 -0700

Thanks to TeamSugar user colormesticky for sending us one of her favorite gadgets, a Philips digital camera keychain from Amazon. She says: "Now I always have something handy since I don't have a camera phone. The picture quality is surprisingly good considering its size- it's about the same quality as a camera phone, but a little bigger." She also says that for the price, which in my opinion is ridiculously inexpensive at $17, it's worth it. Click here to read her full review.

Juicy Couture USB Stick Keychain: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:45:54 -0800

I don't always love all the Juicy Couture things I see (the Pink Mouse and Mousepad Set, or the Velour Laptop Sleeve, anyone?), but I do appreciate that they make a valid effort to make tech accessories and peripherals.

This USB Stick Keychain is arguably the Juiciest, brand-wise, considering the heart shape, pink color, and ubiquitous "Choose Juicy" message. But I have to give it to them - this is something I would carry around, since I'm always concerned about losing (or having to root around in my bag for) the flash drive I try to keep on me. Being on a keychain would eliminate that problem, and the overtly girliness of it doesn't completely deter me because of its usefulness.

However, it is only 1GB and not exactly market price - $65 - for a flash drive that size. I'm not sure I'd buy it, but I'd enjoy it if I had it.

What do you think?

Digital Santa Photo Keychain: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 08:00:25 -0800

After seeing this cute Digital Santa Clause Keychain on OhGizmo!, I knew I could find a purpose for it-even if it meant giving it to one of my sisters as a Christmas present. With a 1.1-inch LCD display, 8MB of internal memory, these keychains are almost as big as the colorful digital photo ornaments. Each keychain costs around $15 each. Do you love them or are you going to leave them?

Keychain Pocket Watch

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 May 2007 15:00:38 -0700

Easily accessible keychain gadgets seem to be all the rage, so I suspect the ISI Pocket Watch would be a real hit if it is eventually made. It unites a keychain with an unpretentious digital timepiece.

The digital display is housed in a semitransparent cube measuring 20mm square and the time is only visible when the cord is gently pulled. A separate turned aluminum holder houses two button cell batteries to power the clock. For additional images, read more

Dirty Dancing Game on PC Only Got Ya Down? No Worries . . .

GeekSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 03:00:40 -0700

Yesterday Kotaku reminded me that the Dirty Dancing Game was coming out this week. . . but then my heart sank when I remembered that it's a game exclusive to PC's right now (PC Gamers, take it upon yourself to buy this so they'll expand it to different consoles - I lost my mind just thinking about Dirty Dancing being on the Wii). So to honor the PC Game and the minor disappointment I feel, I bring you an alternative Dirty Dancing gadget: The Projector Keychain!

Whip Johnny and Baby out of your pocket and splash them on the nearest wall any time you need a lift, like say, after carrying a watermelon.
