Brando always seems to think they need about 20 different choices for miniature spy cameras.  Although I can appreciate the overabundance of selection, at some point it almost becomes overkill.  However, at least you’ll never find yourself wishing for more choices when you’re looking for a spy camera to catch someone in the act with.  Now here’s another fake car key with a tiny camera hidden within.

This isn’t the first time they’ve used a fake car key to hide a camera, but this one features a slightly more rounded design.  Perhaps it’ll blend in better than the rectangular design for those of you with incredibly expensive cars. 

The image resolution is at 1600 x 1200 pixels and the color video resolution is at 640 x 480.  It has 29 FPS and has built-in audio.  It also features the usual rechargeable Li-ion battery and a Micro SD/TF card slot.  You can purchase one of these for $36 or purchase one with a 8GB card for $63 from Brando.

Ok so it seems Nokia are getting ready for their official Apple iPhone response, the name is called Nokia Tube.

The Nokia Tube will feature a touch interface which cannot wait to play around with, and then I will tell you if it is as good as the iPhone. This brand new handset is apparently set to be as close as possible to the iPhone device and was shown at a slideshow at the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference in Redwood City, California.

The slideshow demonstrated the handsets UI plus a promotional shot featuring Shrek, vice president of Forum Nokia Tom Libretto has said that yes they do believe that they compete for the Apple iPhone’s market share even though they have not set a release date as of yet.

Apple have sold around 4 million phones since their launch but Tom Libretto said “We’ve done that [volume] since we’ve had dinner on Friday,” well let me say Libretto, yes you may have, but they were all low-end cell phones were they not?

Anyway we cannot wait to see this new handset, the world need the Nokia Tube and then and only then can we pair the two together.

It's been a tough day at the office - your boss has chewed you a new one because you were late to an all important meeting; your secretary has quit because you forgot it was her birthday and your wife has been on the phone all day threatening to leave you if you don't take her on a romantic weekend getaway to reignite the passion.

On top of that, the news reports are saying that the world will end in the next 20 years if we don't become greener. And while you do contemplate rolling around in a pile of radioactive goo to hulk up and take care of all your problems smashing-style, you instead opt for one of these little gadgets to do your part for the environment.

The HyMini is a handheld universal charger / adapter that can harness the power of the sun and wind to charge your gadgets. Simply attach it to the outside of your car, then drive between 14kph and 65kph (any faster and it won't make a difference, any slower and it won't do anything), and you've got yourself instant renewable energy.

Adapters are available for pretty much any type of phone or camera, and it also plugs into the mains power for when you just can't get enough wind or sun juice.

Nokia and the University of Cambridge are showing off a new stretchable and flexible mobile device of the future called Morph.

The new concept phone is part of an online display presented in conjunction with the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition underway through May 12 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The device, which is made using nanotechnology, is intended to demonstrate how cell phones in the future could be stretched and bent into different shapes, allowing users to "morph" their devices into whatever shape they want. Think Stretch Armstrong for cell phones. Want to wear your cell phone as a bracelet? No problem, just bend it around your wrist.

Nokia says the concept device demonstrates handset features that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering, including flexible materials, transparent electronics, and self-cleaning surfaces.

"Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices," Bob Iannucci, chief technology officer for Nokia, said in a statement. "The Morph concept shows what might be possible."

Even though Morph is still in early development, Nokia believes that certain elements of the device could be used in high-end Nokia devices within the next seven years. And as the technology matures, nanotechnology could eventually be incorporated into Nokia's entire line of products to help lower manufacturing costs.

Bear in mind the Dick Tracy stand-up comedian? The central character back then had one of the coolest gizmos just about - a cell phone assembled into a timepiece. For the benefit of our younger readers, cellphones weren’t something that was always around. They just started to make an appearance commercially in the 80s, where the user had to lug around a large transmitter wherever they went. Cellphones also came in a large form factor that could probably fit around 10 Motorola RAZRs inside. Gadgets maven Brando has made available the M300 wristwatch cellphone for all and sundry, so let us take a look at what this handset has to offer.

Technology has advanced to a point where it is now possible to cram in video camera equipment into something as small and ordinary looking as a baseball cap. The Baseball Cap Camera with Digital VCR/Monitor is available only in black - the one main gripe that I have. Won’t it be better if the cap could feature different sports team logos emblazoned across the front? That would definitely make you stand out less as paranoid folk (like me) won’t be as suspicious when they see someone wearing the Dodgers’ cap instead of a black one.

Nevertheless, this Baseball Cap Camera contains a color CCTV camera and microphone inside, and while you might think the video quality is atrocious, you would be pleasantly surprised (as was ) that it can capture videos in 768 x 492 resolution for NTSC and 768 x 582 for PAL. Each purchase comes with a miniature remote control that features a 2.4? TFT LCD video monitor for you to execute the recording at the perfect moment. An SD memory card slot is used to store all your video, where 4GB is more than enough to outlast the battery which can last a mere one hour.
