Today I am going to share some great gadgets with you guys.

Wheel pressure

Checking the tyre pressures of your car is generally pretty tedious and involves checking each tyre individually, either with your own tool or a trip to the garage. This gizmo lets you see the pressure without leaving the driving seat. The TPMS-201 is a set of valves that connect to each of your car’s wheels, which measures and transmit the pressure to a display unit that you mount on the dash. The display unit shows you each tyre’s pressure or temperature giving you the knowledge to pump your tyres for optimum performance.

USB Credit Card

Shinhan Card from South Korea has unveiled a new credit card unceremoniously known as the USB Credit Card. This is actually a contact less credit card and can be used for online purchases. All you need to do is insert the card into a USB drive and it will automatically enter your credit card information on your behalf.

How touching!

The Voyager is breaking new ground as the first handset with an interactive touch-screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. Not only this, it has a cool retractable antenna for V CAST as well as full HTML internet browsing. It also has dual speakers, a 2mega pixel camera/camcorder, and is Bluetooth capable.

Spell of the words

The Lighted Message Board could change surroundings with its mesmerising looks. Write on the screen of this funky acrylic notice board with one of the two special pens provided, then switch on the LED lights. You can choose from single colour or multi-colour mode with changing or blinking lights, and you can also adorn it on the wall like a picture!

No ordinary pen

This ball point pen looks ordinary enough, the only visible difference is the small button located near the top of the shaft, and the hole at the tip. And it doesn’t take rocket science to guess that the button controls the laser pointer on the end of the pen. But this is not all, the pen also opens up to reveal a 4GB USB flash drive. The laser pointer can be recharged by plugging in the USB connector.

Get connected

For people who need to multi-task on the computer, the Kensington Dual Monitor adapter is the ideal gadget. It allows you to plug in six monitors into a single USB port, and utilising the latest DisplayLink software, it is able to get resolutions of up to 1440 x 1050 and yet still allow for the use of 3D-intisive features such as Vista’s Aero interface.
