Smart Driving
Parrot’s Minikit Smart is a multifunctional Bluetooth car smart cradle designed to work like a universal car mount: It can be attached on to your car windshield or dashboard and can cradle your smart phone horizontally. It hooks up with the phone over Bluetooth. The cradle makes it quite useful for GPS navigation. It has retractable microphones, and can even power your phone when it’s connected to the included car charger.
 

Carry Your Music
The Sharp GX-M10 Boombox is a portable sonic cylinder that has a hatch for an iPod/iPhone 4 and two 13-cm woofers on either side. You could wear it on the shoulder or strapped across. Cool, in’ it?

Key to Health
The Portronics Health Key pedometer can give readings at any angle using the latest 3D technology and does not need to be vertically placed like most pedometers. Its Digital 3D Acceleration Sensor is more accurate than a mechanical sensor.
