Icetech, a leading Energy Technology Specialist have released the Solar i9005, a reliable hard wearing Portable Solar Charger. The Solar i9005 is not quite as portable as many would like, but measuring in at less than 6 inces long and around 3 inches wide you do not see many people complaining.

The charger comes with a massive array of attachments, not to mention USB charging capability. This means it is possible to charge anything that requires upto 9v of power, so its got your phone, MP3 Player, iPod or even many portable DVD players covered.

While most people wouldn’t use this it costs as little as $70, making it a great utensil for anyone on the move. I know when I am doing a two week road trip around Europe this year, one of these babies will be on the car dashboard all the way!

Nikon just released the Coolpix S52 and S52c compact cameras. The S52c is the more interesting one because it has integrated WiFi hardware allowing it to upload content to the web directly.

S52c Highlights

* 9 Megapixel
* 3x optical zoom
* Image Stabilizer
* Can shoot video

According to dpreview.com, the S52 is equipped with the same exciting features as the S52c, but is intended for those who do not require internet connectivity. This allows for a slightly smaller body (93 mm wide) and is available in two colours: silver and plum black (depending on country of sale).

Both cameras offer convenient, user-friendly controls and an easy-to-follow set of on-screen menus for access to advanced functions.

The iPod is a great gadget to have for music and videos, it’s not exactly come with the largest display. Its screen that has QVGA resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio can be enough for album art visualization, however, it is a bit small for watching movies comfortably. Why buy another PMP with a big screen while you already have your iPod? Try some special Video Enlarger gadget accessory for it instead!

According to ThinkGeek.com:

We wanted to introduce you to our favorite candidates in the running for the ‘08 election: Mario and Luigi Giordano. They own a local pizza joint where everything’s homemade, just like in momma Italy. Face it. Almost all America’s problems can be solved with a generous application of mozzarella. And pepperoni.
