Ice Rocks

Anyone for prepackaged ice cubes made with premium spring water? Bottled water appears to have gone the way of beauty products, selling the idea rather than the product--at a premium naturally (pun intended). So if you fancy ice cubes that claim to make your drink that much purer, if it isn't already, Ice Rocks come in freeze-ready liquid form that's hermetically sealed in recyclable containers. Though for something that pure, this apparently stores for two years. Hmm…

Electric Ice Cream Scooper

You've probably at some time in your life done battle with a frozen tub of ice cream. Curses and Norman Bate moments later hacking the scoop, you've made no headway with that Peanut Crunch Delight.

There's a better way, though. An electric scooper. Just what every overstuffed kitchen drawer needs. The scoop heats up, allowing you to cut through even the most rock-solid ice cream slab. Before you know it, you're cutting through entire gallons. Too bad this is tethered and not battery operated to allow you can bring along on picnic outings.

The collection, comprising the RAZR V3, RAZR XX and L6, will feature six different tattoo-inspired designs laser-etched onto the exterior case.

The first release on October 30 will see Motorola offering the RAZR V3 in dark pearl gray (called Dragon Tattoo) and magenta (called Cherry Blossom Tattoo) with US cellular operator T-Mobile, while other handsets are expected within the fourth quarter of this year.
