Here’s a great device that’s twice as good as the competition, literally. It’s a Monaco 3.1 AMP Extreme Charge Car Power Adapter. It can easily charge two USB devices in your car at the same time and does it nice and quick to boot!

The first port is a 2.1 AMP charger that features a hi-speed charge and the ability to charge up an iPad or a Tablet.

The second USB port delivers 1 AMP for your smartphones, iPod and iPhones for a safe and rapid recharge.

This is definitely the best solution for people on the go that have more than one device in the car.

As always, the Monaco brand is well-made, designed with smooth lines and cool colours, and of course, does a great job.

I personally can’t recommend actually using two devices at the same time while driving. Unless you are an expert multitasker like myself. Because as I speak to you, writing this review, I am also arm wrestling a monkey while using my big toe to tickle a midget.*

Piece of cake.

A gadget that is sure to be under the tree for many kids this Christmas is this super cool R/C copter. Or should I say P/C copter? That’s right, it’s a PHONE controlled helicopter, practically making those old-fashioned remotes a thing of the past.

Using a free downloadable app, this i-helicopter turns your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Android phone into a remote. The remote app has several awesome functions, including a button that turns off all the LED lights on the helicopter (increasing it’s flight time by a few more minutes.)

Wanna win one? We are giving one away! Check out the wall on facebook.

What’s in the Box?

In each box you get a USB Charger, an Infrared Control System (it connects to your phone), spare blades and propellers, the helicopter and a manual.

The Helicopter is super easy to use and has some pretty cool features like motion control. You can tilt your phone and the copter turns with you. It also has a bunch of LED’s while still maintaining flight time for about 8 minutes which is impressive for such a small little copter. The charge time takes between 25-30 minutes and the USB charger lights up to let you know when it’s done.

Yup, this helicopter is pretty sweet. I did some practicing and I managed to decorate my tree this year entirely through the use of my i-helicopter. I think it turned out pretty rad. Martha Stewart, eat your heart out.

Rumors have been flying around for some time that Apple will be entering the HDTV market early as March 2012. An even more detailed rumor is that they will be releasing three models of their new televisions, 40″, 46″ and 52″ televisions being the likely sizes.

But only time will tell if these rumors are in fact true or just rumors. The big winners will be Intel and Corning and will happily use Apple HDTV to escape the tech bubble that’s about to burst world-wide.

So what features would the Apple HDTV possibly have that would make anyone need it, like other apple products, and choose it over other cheaper and perfectly capable devices?

We can assume it will be much more than a television and more like a big computer. You can probably expect the Apple TV to have some of these cool features:

• Built in TV Apps, with a new TV App Store and built in wi-fi network

• A gaming engine. Now that they have your attention, it makes sense for a kinect or wii style device to connect to the Apple HDTV. If they are controlled by a camera in the front of this set, even better. But expect gaming to be a huge part of this, possibly with pretty sweet Apple HDTV controllers.

• Built in Hard Drives and PVR’s for recording and sorting through your programs. We suspect they’ll have a fancy name for this, TV on Demand or APVR sounds lame, so iWatch, iView and iTV made the list as well.

• Apple Trailers. New theatrical releases at your fingertips, from your couch, just like the original Apple TV.

• iTunes sync which makes your Apple HDTV the control hub and epicenter for your entire homes entertainment and will manage the content on all your iPod’s and iPhone’s and iPad’s wirelessly.

• Facetime. Just don’t get caught watching TV in your underwear.

• TV to go. You’ll be able to watch whatever is stored on your TV through your iPhone or iPad on the road – while your TV happily rests in standby mode back at home.

• Apple Phone Home. Yup, Apple HDTV will have a call centre, displaying on screen who’s calling and showing you a picture as well. It will also sort all your voice mail, visually and keep your address book too.

• Apple HDTV will not only be HD, but have 3D optical display at ridiculous resolution with built in upscaling as well as a new intel chip that produces a cool 900hz equivalent framerate or “motionflow” technology.

• Thunderbolt ports will replace the majority of HDMI ports, however there will be HDMI ports available.

• And of course, maybe there will be something better than LEDs in the future, but at this point it makes sense to have microscopic LED’s backlighting this HDTV because everything Apple makes is just smaller than everyone elses.

So there you have it. It may seem all fine and dandy, but we’ll just have to wait and see. But don’t start waiting in line just yet.

Most reviews are telling people to flush the iPhone 4 down the toilet. And just in case you did. You may need a life-sized plunger to bring it back. But if you rather,  just to use this gadget. It’s the iPlunge. A cute little plunger that you can stick to the back of your iphone to prop it up. What’s that smell? It’s the smell of genius.

Not only is this gadget useful for the iPhone, it’s also an essential new tool for performing the Heimlich Maneuver and cleaning out really really small toilets. And probably in that order.

Here’s a pretty nifty watch from SuckUK made almost entirely out of paper. It’s an open invitation to graffiti on your belongings–so we put some artistes to the test to see what they’d come up with. This watch was definitely made for the chronic doodler, and based on these babies, everyone else. Check em out!

Not too shabby. We turned the paper watch into the Wonder Woman bracelet, an orange iPod sneaky enough to fool Steve Jobs, drew a bunch of ridiculously time consuming pencil sketches and of course my favorite–the shameless self promotion.

Each watch comes in plain white (to start with) and made from pretty thick matte paper. Our resident production expert says its about a 90 lb card stock which is roughly the equivalent weight of poster paper. Who’d a thunk it?

So needless to say it’s a pretty fun watch, and to top it off it also tells the time.

If you have older children, or if you just need one yourself, there is a high likelihood that you’ll need to be browsing for laptops or netbooks this festive season.  The Sony Vaio is set to be one of the best sellers in the laptop world due to its fantastic specs and fashionable appearance. This netbook has a 14” screen, has wireless connectivity and even has its own Blu-Ray player- perfect if you’re a film buff. It has a 500G hard drive as well as 4GB of RAM.  The aesthetics of the Vaio is what makes is even more special; rounded edges, light up lids and a range of colours, including blue and pink. This is a versatile laptop that would go down well under anyone’s Christmas tree.

9. Stinky the Garbage Truck

If there are any little boys in the family, this will be sure to be on their Christmas list. This interactive truck is designed to make play time beneficial to kid’s development. Stinky sings dances and asks inquisitive questions. He can also answer questions with one of the 90 phrases he has built into his memory. He has motion and direction sensors, meaning he knows when to come alive all by himself. The best part is, he looks the part. He has a Transformer-esque feel about him, which kids instantly fall in love with. You can buy Stinky for around $50.00.

8. Ferrari F1 Electric ride-on

This is another piece of tech for the younger tech-lovers, but not one to be snubbed. Ferrari have released a child sized Ferrari car which is the closest it’s ever been to its adult counterpart. The mini replica is made by Ferrari and even carries an authenticated Ferrari badge. It reaches speeds of up to 5mph and has its own alloy wheels and forward and reverse gears. This mini Ferrari doesn’t come cheap- you can buy them for around $700, but are definitely the real deal.

7. Call of Duty Black Ops

Call of Duty Black Ops is one of the most anticipated games in the history of gaming. Modern Warfare 2 smashed previous sales records (4.7 million) and Black Ops is set to smash them all over again. It has been said that Black Ops looks set to take more money on its first day than Toy Story 3 did- showing how popular the game actually is. So what sets Black Ops apart from previous editions? There is an in-game currency, allowing you to buy or upgrade your weapons in exchange for virtual cash. There will also be a split-screen feature for Xbox users, allowing them to upload in-game clips of their best moments. This is sure to be on top of any avid gamer’s wish list this Christmas- if they didn’t queue up on its release date!

6. Samsung Galaxy S

It was tempting to have the iPhone 4 as my choice of smart phone in this list, but I’ve opted for something a little different. Android phones are becoming very popular at a fast pace- and for a reason. The Galaxy S has some excellent features, like a 5MP camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, multi-touch screen and has a micro SD slot for more memory should you ever need it. It also weighs 19 grams less that it’s Apple competitor, even though it is slightly bigger to hold. The Galaxy S is slightly cheaper than an iPhone 4, and retails for around $600 for the handset. You can take out contracts for this Samsung model on most mobile phone networks.

5. iPod Touch

The iPod burst onto the music scene in 2001, and we’ve never looked back. The iPod revolutionised the way we listen to music- the Discman is a thing of the past. The iPod touch differs from the original iPod as it allows you to do so much more than just listen to music. You can now browse the web, watch movies, read books and download apps- the only thing missing is the ability to make phone calls. The iPod touch has a Wi-Fi connection, as well as 2 cameras. The cameras are useful when using their new app FaceTime, where you can talk to your friends face-to-face via your iPod Touch or iPhone.  The best part is, it’s quite affordable.  You can get the latest version of iPod Touch for around $220.

4. Xbox Kinect

Xbox’s attempt at hands-free gaming is pretty exciting- you don’t even need a controller. This is set to be a big contender for the top spot of many people’s Christmas lists. The Kinect is essentially a strip  of cameras, sensors and voice recognition technology which means you can control the console and play games without having to touch anything- something which until a few years back seemed very advanced and futuristic. There are around 15 games to accompany the Kinect, or you can buy the Kinect and a bundle of games for around $480.

3. PS3 Move

This is the PS3’s version of the wireless/motion sensor gaming experience. The PS3 Move has a controller (like the Nintendo Wii) which tracks your movement from the Playstation Eye camera. The reason why the PS3 Move is placed above the Kinect is because the graphics of the games are said to be excellent- something the Wii and the Xbox haven’t yet mastered. Unlike the Wii, you can recharge the controllers instead of messing around with batteries. The PS3 Move starter pack, which will consist of the camera and a controller, as well as a starter game will set you back around $70.

2. Amazon Kindle

Reading will never be the same again. Gone are the days of lugging a bag full of heavy books around with you- now you can store your books in an electronic e-reader. The Kindle weighs less than a standard paper-back book, and can store 3500 books on its memory. The newest version has built-in Wi-Fi which allows you to browse and buy books online whenever you feel like it. One of the most appealing features of the Kindle is that, when fully charged, the Kindle will last a whole month without running out. You could also say that you’re doing your bit for the environment as well. The Kindle is also so popular because of its affordable price- you can bag a Kindle for around $140.

1.Apple iPad

Probably not the most affordable item on the list, but definitely the most sought after piece of tech on the market.  The first ever tablet bounced into the gadget world in April 2010 and the world went iPad crazy. 3 million iPads were sold in the first 80 days of its release, due to its fashionable appearance and versatile digital capabilities.  All of your music, books, movies, games and social networking tools are available on the iPad, as well as an internet browser and countless apps.  Apple lovers will fall even more in love with iPad as it features the same menus and icons as the iPhone or iPod, meaning there is a sense of familiarity with the product.  You can get yourself a 16GB iPad for about $550.
