Dual SIM phones seem to be catching on these days, although I still don't see the point of it as I still can't hold two conversations simultaneously. After all, carrying two handsets at once isn't too much of a hassle since cell phones these days come in ever shrinking sizes. The HKC G1000 is a Windows-powered smartphone that can hold two SIM cards simultaneously, keeping both of them active at once without having you to go through the hassle of switching between SIMs.

Yet another example of those not very discreet walkie talkie watches. This new model allows you to communicate within a distance of up to 1.5 miles.
Not only do these ingenious wrist walkie talkies allow you to communicate easily, they also keep good time. So, if you can’t agree on which band to see next or you want to go on different rides, simply synchronise each walkie talkie watch, arrange a time to rendezvous and keep in touch while you’re separated.

Chances are, that JB-100 you picked up 'round Christmastime last year isn't even broken in yet, but JayBird's already launching the aforesaid device's proper successor. The just-introduced JB-200 features complete AVRCP music / call controls, an improved fit (25-percent narrower ear-tip), better sound isolation, higher-grade silicon tips, boosted bass performance and a 1-inch longer behind-the-neck cord. For those rolling without an A2DP-capable handset / handheld, the company still offers up its Bluetooth Adapter for iPod or the Bluetooth adapter for MP3, the latter of which functions with practically any DAP or PMP.

This analog watch looks quite normal, but features a small built-in spy camera.
Smart mounting of the camera results in the image being correctly orientated when the watch is upside down, for example when naturally resting your arm on a table. With stylish brushed aluminum and black a face no one will ever suspect they’re being watch by such a well dressed person.
The receiver unit comes with a 2.5 inch LCD and the capability of monitoring 4 wireless cameras at a time, playing music and even MPEG 4 movies if the mood takes you.

When it comes to headphones, you have three basic choices to make. You either go for 'cans' that fit over the top of your head and sit on or around your ears; you can choose earbuds - which hang just on the cartilage 'hook' of your ear; or you can plump for canalphones, the type that you shove right down your ear canals.
The latter has experienced a huge uptake in popularity in the past few years. Once the idea of inserting a foreign object deep into my ears seemed an objectionable concept; now it seems second nature - and earbuds are slowly but surely being consigned to also rans.
It's easy to see why this is happening: the passive sound isolation you can achieve with a snug-fitting pair of canalphones allows you to get closer to the music without having to crank the volume up to deafening levels, and the design has proved so popular that all sorts of variations on the theme have sprung up.

Oh sure, we've seen gadgets used as motivational tools before, but Sega Toys is apparently banking on you not being a hothead. Otherwise, you just might fling its Body Trainer headset from your dome as soon as you hear "please exercise a little bit harder" over your incessant panting. Nevertheless, those with oodles of self-control may actually benefit from having a personal trainer (of sorts) in their ear while working out, and by monitoring the wearer's heartbeat via a sensor, it can blurt out messages at the appropriate time to help users through their session(s). Reportedly, this nifty exercise buddy is set to launch in Japan this April for ¥5,775 ($54), and while we've no idea if this thing is destined for US soil, we can definitely see it being used more so for its musical abilities and less for its steadfast encouragement.

The G-DRIVE mini Triple 500GB is the world’s first portable hard drive. Wow, now that’s a lot of storage. It debuted at Macworld last week, together with the G-RAID mini (1TB). The cool think about this drive is that the G-DRIVE mini Triple 500 is bus-powered and doesn’t require an AC adaptor. Its got FireWire 800, FireWire 400 connectors and this small wonder fits into a computer, camera or camcorder bag. The new drive features a whisper-quiet, fanless cooling system, comes complete with cables, a protective leather carrying case and 3 year warranty. Available in March 2008.
