Check out the totally groovy dual LCD monitors from Soyo. Available in 19″ and 17″ models which are known as GVLM1928 and GVLM1728 respectively, this dual monitor setup is quite unlike anything you’ve seen before. With high native resolutions of up to 2560 x 1024 and 8ms response times, you know you’re in visual heaven with a set of these sitting pretty on your desk. The inclusion of integrated speakers is a thoughtful move as you probably would not have enough space on your desk with the footprint of both monitors. An interesting feature incorporated is the ability to turn both displays with their backs facing each other, which comes in handy when you want the entire world to know what you’re currently doing. The GVLM1728 and GVLM1928 will retail for $999 and $1,199 respectively.

This isn’t a usual plain-looking lantern, as you might think it to be! But is the most sophisticated lantern that you would love to go camping with! The lantern operates with remote from up to 30 feet away and has a runtime of up to 23 hours. The remote controlled lantern also features a 7-watt fluorescent U-tube for a brighter, whiter light. The pocket-sized wireless remote uses 2 AAA-batteries and the lantern sells for just $25.99. So, you don’t have to crib over not carrying the lantern with you when strolling your camp-site, that is ofcourse if you are at a distance of just 30 feet away!!

Made for people who carry around two phones—one for work and one for your wife to nag you at work—this KTFT EV-K170 slider allows you to dial and receive calls with two numbers simultaneously. There are two modes, an “H” mode and a “B” mode (Home and Business, anyone?) that can be swapped back and forth depending on which number you don’t want your mistress to see.
Other features: FM radio, 1.3-megapixel camera, voice recorder, and FM radio. It doesn’t appear to be available anywhere outside of Korea—when’s the last time you had a KTFT-brand phone—but it is a cool idea for cellphone cowboys. – Jason Chen

The liquid-cooling specialists at Danger Den have partnered with BFG Technologies and released a water-cooled GeForce 8800GTX. Retailing for $799, this stock speed 8800 frees up an expansion slot by removing the bulky fan that is partnered with the standard model. It doesn’t look like Danger Den is marketing their water block by itself just yet, so if you want to integrate your 8800 into your water-cooled rig, this may be your only option.
I’m disappointed that BFG didn’t crank up the clock speeds to take advantage of the enhanced cooling, but any serious water-cooler is probably capable of doing that on their own. Even at stock speeds, this beast is outperforming every other card on the market, including some dual-card setups from both NVIDIA and rival ATI. – Karson Thompson

Debuting at CES 2007 in early January is the world’s first SD card that comes loaded with bi-stable display technology. Bi-stable is a fancy way of saying the SD card has a very small display integrated into the card that does not require additional power sources to function. The display will show the available space on the card and name of the card. With so many gadgets using SD, it is hard to juggle them all. The Info SD won the innovations award for computer accessories at CES 2007.
The Info SD is a big step forward for memory cards, but I think I know a better step. Here is my million dollar idea: find a way to add a mini-USB port onto the actual card. No need for card readers or any of that jazz, just plug the card directly into your computer. Anybody want to tackle this? I’ll give you a cut of the profits. – Travis Hudson

We’ve seen all sorts of bras before, but this is the first we’ve come across that helps save the environment. Dubbed the No! Shopping Bag Bra, this lacy red undergarment has padded cups that when removed, transform into shopping bags that can be used to carry around your groceries, laundry, or other purchases and reduce the consumption of plastic bags in the process. We’re not sure those lacy strings would be able to hold much, so ladies, you may want to carry around an extra bra just in case. But if you’re interested, the bra is made by lingerie company Triumph Japan.Â
Look at the bra in action.

Golf: the sport-like activity of high style. If the goofy pants and awkward hip-shuffling movements aren’t enough for you, consider handicapping your game with the new Segway x2 Golf edition. The low-impact turf tires will keep your divot count respectable while speeding up your game and helping you get back to work earlier. Wait a second, who designed this horrible thing?
The x2 Golf comes with carriers for your golf bag and score card so you’re always prepared. No official pricing on the web, but the original x2 debuted in August at $5,500. That’s a minimal fee compared to what you paid for your license to kill gophers from the government of the United Nations. – Karson Thompson
