Tomato Flash has just unveiled its microSD memory card reader that could parade as a fashion accessory should you forget to wear your favorite necklace for that day. Unfortunately, it does not support the microSDHC memory card standard, so you’ll have to settle with 4GB of memory at best. Using it is a no-brainer - all you need to do is plug it into any available USB 2.0 port and you’re good to go. Don’t worry about leaving this microSD card reader inside your pants the next time you do the laundry as it boasts a water-resistant design to combat those forgetful moments. There is no word on pricing at the moment, but it shouldn’t be too expensive either.

Those living in Asia will be the beneficiaries of the new Sony Ericsson S500i cellphone. This handset boasts a pretty unique design, where the tiny bit that curves out at the bottom adds that little bit of character. Strictly a mid-range handset, you get 12MB of internal memory, Bluetooth and EDGE connectivity, a 2 megapixel camera, and a Memory Stick Micro 2 card slot. Snapped photos can be uploaded via an EDGE connection, letting you update your photo blog on-the-fly. Additional features include support for RSS feeds. Choose from Mysterious Green and Spring Yellow colors. Pricing details are currently unknown, but this is one of the sweeter looking handsets to be released this year, that’s for sure.

Casio is more famous for their line of watches and calculators, but somehow this USB Egg-Shaped Label Printer managed to slip out from their production lines into the hands of the masses. In fact, it is actually a glorified label printer that is capable of printing your message in any TrueType font installed on the computer. Just in case you’re at a loss of conjuring up label that is pleasing to the eye, there is always the preset label templates for automatic typeface and font size settings. Each $29 purchase comes with a roll of thermal roll paper to get you started straight away. Since you punch in your message using the computer keyboard, this is a much more efficient manner compared to punching on traditional keypads found on older label printers.

You know you have an unhealthy obsession with your computer should you actually purchase a pair of jammies for them, literally putting more weight to the term ’sleep’ when it comes to computers. The Pyjama-style screen protective cover from Tucano not only keeps dust, mothballs, and other pesky insects from crawling all over it at night, it also boasts a pretty interesting design up front that certainly works better than a plain, white cloth. They retail for £9.99 and £18.99 for the 17″ Mac and PC screens respectively. The Mac version boasts a shirt pocket that lets you stow away the mouse when it is not in use - something the PC version is missing. Looks like one of the cuter desktop additions to pick up.

There are so-called “beauty centers” in Japan that actually provide oxygen treatment in order to beautify you while making you slimmer. I’m not too sure how inhaling air with a higher oxygen content helps, but I suppose it has something to do with an enhanced metabolic rate. AirPress has decided that humans shouldn’t get all the fun and decided to pamper dogs as well by building the Dogs O2 compartment that provides your favorite four-legged friend with oxygen treatments as well. Sounds pretty zany, huh? And you thought all that Fido needed to keep happy was play some catch and perform some tricks once in a while.

SouthWing’s SH440 Bluetooth headset was recently released in the US and is available in all AT&T retail stores. The SH440 claims to lead the competition by featuring a voice prompt system that makes pairing up a cinch. This voice prompt system is a first among Bluetooth headsets, and should it take off successfully, expect other Bluetooth headsets in the future to include this function. The SH440 is even smart enough to read out the incoming caller’s number as well as the remaining talk time. Other features include four favorite number autodialing; a dozen ring tones; automatic power save, and quick disconnect. It is virtually compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled cellphone and will retail for a pocket friendly $49.99.

Looks like we have yet another cellphone watch in our midst, and this time it is courtesy of Cect from China. The prototype comes with a fairly large LCD display and three buttons at each side for navigational purposes. Bluetooth connectivity is used to carry out conversations, as using the speakerphone function isn’t advised unless you love to have people eavesdrop unwillingly on your conversation. Other than make and receive calls, you can also use this cellphone watch as a mobile MP3 player. Pricing and availability details are currently unknown, but this will probably be a fairly niche product.

Why let your pooch have all the fun while you spend yet another stressful day at the office? The Oxygen Detox System definitely comes in handy, providing oxygen therapy that helps soothe away the day’s cares and concerns. This unique device from O2 Planet combines a steam sauna, water jet, and oxygen mist in order to remove cellular debris that often contain heavy metals which cause you to age even faster. In addition, this sleepbag-like contraptop claims to detox your liver, gall bladder, and blood clotting cellular debris. Such bold claims had better have some obvious evidence if I am going to part with $4,995 for one!

Word on the street has it that a spanking new Samsung SGH-i570 smartphone will be hitting the streets in the near future, and you can’t help but get excited after checking out what this smartphone has on offer. Running on Symbian 9.1, the i570 boasts a QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, HSDPA, EDGE, and Bluetooth connectivity, 160MB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a VGA camera in front and a 2 megapixel camera behind, all packed into a slim slider form factor that measures a mere 16mm thick. Those who are familiar with the Samsung SGH-i620 will definitely experience a feeling of deja vu with the i570, and they aren’t wrong. After all, both handsets are similar in design save for the Windows Mobile OS-powered i620. Which OS do you prefer - Symbian or Windows Mobile?

Looks like Hacha has slimmed down the PC20 portable media player by a few millimeters to a mere 7.7mm in the thickness department. That’s extremely slim when you think about it, and I dread that somebody might actually break the thing in half should they be less than careful when listening to it. The display measures a solid 3″ across diagonally, but that’s just about all that we know about the Hacha PC20. Hopefully the user interface won’t be too convoluted, and chaces are the Hacha PC20 will utilize some form of flash memory as its storage medium of choice. In the meantime, feel free to speculate just what else should be packed into this uber-slim PMP.
