Angry Birds Flash Drives



You know the old saying, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Well, with the Angry Birds Flash Drives, it is worth 4GB worth of storage space on the go. You are able to choose from King Piggy, Red Bird, White Bird and Yellow Bird designs. Throwing these around are not going to help you in any way though, as the data inside might just give way to your anger, so toting these in your pocket or notebook bag is the best way to travel.
       Made out of high quality rubber, these unique avian friends and a porker would be ideal to stash away all of your crucial information or even family photos, music videos, movies and MP3 files. It does not matter, really, although we would have liked to see the Blue Bird design and see each of these split into three different flash drives magically when you plug it into your computer. Of course, that will not happen, but it would be cute nonetheless. The Angry Birds Flash Drives will retail for £14.99 a pop. 

Japanese Wrist-Mounted Finger Piano



Here is a way to play the piano like a boss – the Japanese way, of course. After all, who wants to lug around a really huge and heavy piano, and a keyboard is a poor substitute when it comes to the actual warm sound of a piano? Enter the $39.99 Japanese Wrist-Mounted Finger Piano to save the day – this new musical instrument hails from the Land of the Rising Sun, and all you need to do is slip it on your wrist, coax your fingers into the tiny enclosures (which will comfortably cover your fingertips), and you are good to go.
       Just how do you play it though? Individual finger bits will play a note when you press it on a hard surface, and when you add a trio of buttons/notes to the top of the wrist unit, you end up with an entire octave of fun. There are three volume levels and a trio of sound banks. The latter, its sound banks, are what makes the entire Japanese Wrist-Mounted Finger Piano really special. You are able to play piano (sound 1) or bells (sound 2), as well as the third sound – cat. Who wants to play cats all the night through? 


Concord Keystone ECO Booster 2.0 portable battery pack


       Owning a whole lot of portable devices these days is the norm for many of us, and if there is one bane of modern electronics, it would be battery power. Or rather, the lack of it. Concord Keystone knows this, and hence decides to step forward and offer something that will definitely appeal to frequent travelers – the Concord Keystone ECO Booster 2.0 portable battery pack. This is an extremely slim and lightweight 2,000 mAh Li-Polymer portable battery pack which will cater for smartphones such as those from the Android and iOS front, more or less doubling battery life in the process when plugged in.
       At the moment, the Keystone ECO Booster 2.0 can be said to be the only portable battery pack which features a built-in retractable microUSB charging cable. That is great, as it translates to carrying around one less cable, and will also help save space in your luggage whenever you travel. All you need to do is pull out the retractable microUSB cable when your device needs charging, and a blue LED indicator will light up to inform you that charging is taking place. Apart from that, it will also show off the remaining power level in the battery pack. Measuring a mere 0.4″ in terms of thickness and tipping the scales at 2.5 oz, it is the perfect traveling companion.
