It will be available in limited quantities from Strapya.com, where orders will be cut off on December 3rd. Delivery will commence on December 20th - so those living outside of Japan might not be able to receive it in time for Christmas. The Christmas Cake USB hub will be compatible with Windows 2000 and later, where all four ports are decorated with USB strawberries that boast 1GB of storage memory. This will be one of the more expensive USB hubs you will ever pick up, retailing for $455.

Apple doesn’t make it easy to replace the headset that comes with the iPhone: The phone’s headset jack is infamously recessed so deeply into the casing that most standard plugs are too short to connect. That’s a shame considering the Apple headset’s mediocre sound quality. A number of people report problems, too, with the fit – the shiny white earbuds have a tendency to fall out, even if your ears are not the size of Dumbo’s.
Surprisingly, alternatives are still hard to come by. Some four months after the iPhone’s debut, only V-Moda has presented a stereo headset specifically designed to play with Apple’s new star. Not only does the “Vibe Duo” offer a guaranteed-to-work plug, the recently updated model – look for “vdb-nero” on the box – also sports a button next to the microphone that allows answering phone calls with one click, meaning you won’t have to take the iPhone out of your pocket. A nice touch, and potentially a real boon if you happen to be roaming in seedy areas of town.

The Atom Duo is a simple and elegant phone with a particular talent: it can receive two SIM cards (and therefore handle two numbers). You can switch numbers back and forth by simply rotating the phone by 180 degrees – it can’t get simpler than that.
When you reverse the phone’s orientation, the virtual keypad and display will switch position and you will instantly be dialing from your other cellphone number. This is an ideal companion for people who frequently travel between two countries. Quick specs in the fult post.

While it isn’t as menacing as a guard dog (you could easily douse it with some water to introduce this vacuum cleaner to Mr. Short Circuit), this robotic vacuum cleaner could help alert you of intruders via text messages whenever it detects motion with its motion sensor. In addition, owners will be able to control it via their cellphone keypad in the same way as a remote control car. Developed by KTF and Yujin Robot, this robotic vacuum cleaner will be available this coming spring, and it will boast a WCDMA model within in order to let you control it remotely via the telephone network. It is smart enough to charge itself automatically whenever it starts to run out of juice, making these the perfect non-pooping “creature” to have at home. There is no word on pricing, but sources have cited that it will fall within the “reasonable” range.

Ridgid has released the SeeSnake micro inspection camera, helping DIY lovers to detect and diagnose problems throughout the home with ease. The SeeSnake micro inspection camera is the first professional-grade adjustable mini-camera that can see inside, underneath and in-between the toughest-to-reach spots. A high-resolution camera head rests at the tip of a flexible 3-foot cable, reinforced by a waterproof vinyl jacket. The cable and camera are manually controlled, whereby images are relayed back to a 2.4″ color LCD display connected to a comfortable pistol-grip handle. A couple of adjustable LEDs help provide the optimal amount of light no matter the task. Each SeeSnake micro inspection camera is accompanied by 3 separate attachments which can be twisted and locked into place on the camera head. The Hook Tip lets users pick up, tug, or pull small objects within reach of the cable, while the Magnetic Tip picks up metal objects. Last but not least, the Mirror Tip allows users to look around corners, providing more versatility in even the tightest spots. You can pick up the SeeSnake micro inspection camera for $239.
