When you can’t fish around for your phone in a backpack or purse, the ZOMM Wireless Leash lets you answer wireless calls from your keychain through its built-in speakerphone. What’s more, ZOMM acts as a panic alarm, and has the capability to dial emergency services right when you need them.

Keyboards are, by their nature, one of the least portable peripherals out there. Despite being big and clumsy, the need to take a keyboard along during travel is high, as typing on a keyboard is infinitely more efficient than pecking away at a phone’s tiny keys. That’s where the Fabric Bluetooth Keyboard comes in – providing all the amenities of the keyboard at your home, in a package that rolls up to the size of a TV remote.

Anywhere you have a flat surface, you have a keyboard with this device. It provides raised keys on a fabric strip for maximum portability, and is compatible with Windows and Blackberry devices for rapid-fire messaging and emails on-the-go. Unfortunately, Apple fans are left out on this one, as there is no iPhone support.

Just 2.4 ounces in weight and 2 inches thick when rolled, this is certainly a great alternative to stuffing your desktop’s keyboard into a bag. If portable typing is up your alley, the Fabric Bluetooth Keyboard is ready to roll over at ThinkGeek for $29.99. Esc hunt and peck tedium…make the shift today!

Bluetooth speakers are a great way to listen to music, movies and games on the go, but they are often heavy, complicated and have poor sound quality. Thanks to the Jambox Bluetooth Speaker from Jawbone, those things are a worry of the past. The Jambox is what the Bluetooth speaker is meant to be.

Despite its ultra-portable 6 x 2.2 x 1.6 inches and 1.8 pound size, these speakers pack quite a punch – comfortably playing up to 85dBs without distortion or hiss.

The Jambox even comes equipped with a high quality microphone for use as a speakerphone with any Bluetooth-enabled cellphone, and packs a 10 hour rechargeable battery – so you’ll be able to keep rocking out all night long.

The Jawbone Jambox comes in four stylish colors (red, black, blue, grey) and is available now (rated 4.5 out of 5 stars from 46 customer reviews) from Amazon.com for $199.99.

Today’s cell phones have brought a range of new features to the average consumer, but their increasingly small size can sometimes make it difficult to talk over long periods of time. If you long for the old days of traditional handsets you can rest on your shoulder, then the Bluetooth Retro Handset is the perfect gadget for you.

Constructed from sturdy plastic to replicate the classic Western Electric 500-series model phone receiver, the handset features Bluetooth technology so you can connect to almost any modern cell phone wirelessly. No more tangled cords!

The Bluetooth Retro Handset has a wireless range of 30ft and charges via a USB cable you connect to your computer. Plus, you’re able to answer and end calls right from the handset. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who longs for the classic days of American manufacturing and is available now – for the special price of $24.99 – exclusively from ThinkGeek.

Using a camcorder needs at least three hands. Moreover, those three hands need to be really steady. The problem is, most people have at most two hands, and unsteady ones at that…

What you need to shoot fun, enjoyable video is a camcorder that leaves your hands free, and lets you concentrate on what you’re shooting. The Looxcie LX1 Wearable Bluetooth Over-the-Ear Camcorder gives you just that.

It’s almost too simple: stand steady on your feet, look at what you want to record, and you’ll get perfect video – as the Looxcie LX1’s automatic light and color adaptation ensures the scene looks just right…no matter the conditions.

Despite the device weighing less than one ounce, it captures a crisp 480p at 30fps, with dual microphones recording quality DSP optimized audio that won’t let the video down. The 4GB of internal storage will record over an hour’s worth of footage, and the headset will also connect to iOS and Android devices if you ever need to switcheroo.

Hands-free video recording opens up a world of new possibilities. Imagine videoing your baby looking down at you as you hold her up with both arms, unencumbered by any awkward device. Imagine the horror if you didn’t have both hands free, and dropped the baby while adjusting the focus on your conventional camcorder? Hands-free video recording closes down a world of nightmares.

Hands up for hands-free? See what you shoot, and shoot what you see with the Looxcie LX1. Just $199 at Overstock.com.

The future is here! Well… almost. Wait a minute. OK! Now, the future is here. The VKB – Magic Cube gives you a completely operational, full-size keyboard in a device that’s about the size of a cell-phone. How? The VKB is a Virtual Laser KeyBoard that emits a laser-light projection of a keyboard onto any flat surface. Then, adaptive technology studies the movement of your fingers to interpret and record keystrokes on keys that aren’t actually there.

The Virtual Laser Keyboard can be used with PDA’s, Smart Phones, Laptops, iPads, Tablet PC’s, or any other bluetooth device. A time-out feature turns the projection off to conserve battery life if its not being used, and it can even be set to make keyclick sound effects – so it sounds like you’re using an actual keyboard.

Step up to the future and order the VKB – Magic Cube for $199.99 / €149.99.

Technology is kick-ass because it allows us to stay connected with anyone and everyone, no matter where we are. The smart phone or iPad is our constant companion and keeping in touch is only a Tweet or Facebook update away. Technology is also a pain in the ass because, in the tech world, tiny is king. The greatest challenge to tweeting and facebooking and all the other ‘ings’ out there is that the buttons are tiny. No problem if you’re just sending a quick text, but a full-blown conversation requires something else. It requires the Smart Phone Bluetooth Keyboard.

Smaller than a regular keyboard, but larger than what your standard iPad has to offer – this little (but not obscenely small) keyboard wirelessly connects to your iPad, smart phone, or any other Bluetooth 2.0 goodie you might have and lets you bang out emails, tweets, blog posts, and Facebook status updates so you can let everybody know exactly when you’re going to the bathroom and what the end result looks like. What? Is that just me? Oh well… to each his own.

The compact keyboard has 56 keys arranged in the standard QWERTY style while a mini-joystick and two dedicated buttons act as a mouse. The small stature (3/4″ H x 7 3/4″ W x 4″ D) is only rivaled by the small price of $69.95 and you can get 150 hours of power from 2 AAA batteries. Hammacher Schlemmer even helps out by tossing in the first 2 batteries for you, because everybody knows it sucks to get a new toy and not have the batteries for it.

The iPads and smart phones of the world are good, but a decent-sized keyboard makes them that much better.

iSpotted this case a while back – but it was sold out for what feels like a whole flippin’ iPhone generation. Anyways, I received word today from ThinkGeek (who actually invented and designed this one!) that they’re now – BACK IN STOCK. Though maybe not for long. So, if you’re after a little more typey typey, and a little less mash-the-virtual-keyboard-with-your-man-fingers hunt and pecky: BUY NOW! would be the key.

The TK-421 iPhone Case With Flip-Out Keyboard incorporates a hinged Bluetooth typing pad with proper hard clicky keys (not that squishy rubber rubbish) and flips-out whenever you pass a BlackBerry user need to write proper emails, documents or send rapid-fire texts.

Bringing the ingenuity of the iPad Keyboard Case to either your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, the iPhone Case With Flip-Out Keyboard is completely wireless (won’t tie up your dock connector), is powered by it’s own built-in rechargeable battery (again, no dock connection), works with any app (think email, web browsing, calendar and notes for a start) and is ready to boost your typing accuracy and speed over at ThinkGeek for $49.99.

If your hunt-and-peck iPad emails are reading more and more like text message gibberish, this ‘pad protector is on the case – folding out to provide a keyboad-equipped workstation for efficient touch-typing on-the-go. Called the iPad Bluetooth Keyboard Case, it transforms your iPad into a netbook-like notation station thanks to its angled stand, Bluetooth keyboard and wrist pad – letting you type up professional emails and documents FAST. In, or out of the office.

Also folding over so you can continue to enjoy your iPad’s regular one-handed operation, the stylish iPad Bluetooth Keyboard Case is made of soft leather, closes with a magnetic clasp, includes its own lithium-ion battery for 90 hours of continuous use, still weighs-in lighter (iPad and case combined) than the 13-inch MacBook Air and is available now from ThinkGeek for $59.99. Multifunctional? App-solutely!

In open-plan spaces, you need a number of carefully positioned speakers to achieve a uniform sound.

As featured in Gaga’s “Bad Romance” video, the Parrot Zikmu Speakers were designed by creative genius Philippe Starck and were painstakingly engineered over three long years of research and development.
