Getting woozy headed from catching Spy Kids in 3D isn't great fun, speaking from experience. After 20 minutes, one feels positively nauseas. However, the need to scale that 3D Everest matches ever onwards. To date, Planar Systems appears to be the latest to go for it with a monitor that lets you view aerial photos in three dimensions, provided you have US$3,995 in spare change. The SD1710 comprises two monitors positioned at 110-degree angles separated by a piece of polarized glass which lets the image from the bottom panel pass through while reflecting the same image from the top piece. Too bad, you'll still need to don special glasses to get the full 3D effect.

This little container will not only hold up to three memory cards, there's anti-static additive in the plastic casing to minimize shock risk to the cards and prevent dust collection. It'll also conveniently attach to any keyring or eyelet on a PSP, camera or portable device. Plus we like that this little gift won't bust your budget.
