Meet Wabi and Sabi, two iPod accessories that might have felt right at home in a Zen rock garden. Cast in stone, literally, the duo weigh as much--at 1.7kg and 2.5kg, respectively. So you can forget about packing it along on your next road trip. And if gadget blog Fosfor.de heard right on the grapevine, there are just two such docking cradles in the world. Hence, the hefty US$2,650 sticker shock--a princely sum only eBay fanatics may be crazy enough to cough up.

Ferrari-inspired LCD
Darius Chang | Nov 17, 2005
With only 1,000 units made for each model, Acer Japan will be releasing the limited-edition F-19 and F-20 Ferrari LCD in late November, though the exact details are not confirmed yet. Like the Acer Ferrari notebook, this monitor uses the trademark black-and-red theme for the sports car look.
The F-19 has a 19-inch display while the F-20's is a 20-inch. Connectivity options are common to both, which include the standard VGA port, DVI, component and S-video inputs. Equipped with built-in speakers, don't expect to carry this to your LAN party as the duo weigh a hefty 7.1kg and 6.8kg, respectively.
Disney princess 2-in-1 locket digicam
Damian Koh | Nov 17, 2005
It's understandable that parents spoil their kids especially during year-end holiday seasons. But this locket digicam is something which you should really think twice before forking out the money. Disney has released a new line of consumer products in time to make it to the wish list of the young worldwide. This princess 2-in-1 locket digital camera is capable of taking VGA-quality photographs and can hold up to 100 images internally.
However, if you take a closer look at the warning label, the pink shooter contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Not that the kids are going to reproduce any time soon, but cancer-causing effects should really be taken into account if you intend to buy this for your child.

World's smallest projector
Juniper Foo | Nov 17, 2005
Ready for a movie projector in your phone? You'll just have to be patient for about five years. By then, Finland's Upstream Engineering will have gotten its LED projection system down pat such that it can squeeze a projector into any handheld device cheaply. If you're not too fussy about the brightness and clarity, this concept could mean liberating images and videos from your cell phone or device onto any blank wall. Just think. Soon, you won't have to bribe your friends over with a homecooked meal just to get them to view your family vacation pictures or stacks of baby videos on the home projector.

Vase Clos
Juniper Foo | Nov 16, 2005
Fancy a vase with a difference? You'll have to wait just a little longer as designer Pierre Foulonneau's multi-leveled vase is still in production. Recently exhibited under the theme "Model Ideas" at the Milan Furniture Fair, it's a container that's almost organic in concept as you can twist, add or subtract piece by piece for a shape that constantly interacts and expresses.
