Retina-X Studios, LLC, was first off the blocks with a spy software for the iPhone, and has recently announced the immediate availability of Mobile Spy version 3.0 for the recently released Apple iPhone 3GS. Apparently, there is no other spy software that is currently compatible with the iPhone 3GS, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that Retina-X Studios’ efforts will not be in vain, but will instead be able to be all it is meant to be. This unique spy software is able to enable users to silently track GPS locations, SMS messages and calls of children or employees using a secure online control panel. Sounds as though one’s privacy has been violated, but then again parents ought to have better control and keep tabs on their kids instead of leaving them to the nanny, TV and peers throughout the formative years.

Mobile Spy will operate in complete stealth mode and there won’t be any mention of the program whatsoever on the iPhone 3GS. The software will quietly run in the background behind all other applications. The moment the software is set up, it will get to work straightaway without the need for any prompting, silently recording the entire text of all SMS text messages, information about each call and actual GPS positions. We’re guessing this will be a popular software to use when it comes to warring couples who are suspicious of one another’s movements at work or when out of town, although we’re not too sure just how such evidence will hold up in the divorce court for grounds of infidelity.

All logged activities will be silently uploaded to the user’s secure online account, where these accounts can be securely checked online from virtually any web browser without the need to access the handset. All activity logs can be viewed in real time the moment they are recorded including complete texts and maps of GPS positions. Mobile Spy is compatible with all iPhone models and smartphones powered by Windows Mobile or the Symbian OS operating system.

With everything getting converged these days, it makes perfect sense for the existence of the Fendi Casa Mirror TV Combo. This device is perfect for those who live in hamster-like homes that are so small that even Ikea doesn’t have a design that fits. Well, the name of it is pretty much self-explanatory - it is a standard mirror that works as one, at least until your turn the LCD TV on. Once powered up, the TV will reveal itself in various sizes (depending on your budget), maxing out at 42″. Perfect for those who are living in studio apartments as well as couples who want something a little bit different in their bedrooms.

Here’s an air purifier that does more than just purify your air and it looks good doing it.  It’s for while you’re at your desk, so if for some reason you think the air needs filtered through while you’re at your desk.  Plus in addition to filtering the air,  it has an open container area that you could use for various things, such as using it as a container or even using it as a flower pot.

Hopefully having flowers in there that need watered won’t hurt the electronics at all though.  The manufacturer is the one that suggest using it as that, so surely the electronics required for the air purifier are well protected.  It also has a blue luminescent night light that is controlled through an on/off switch.  For that blue light it has a total of 3 Led lights.  The purifier uses a carbon filter to clean your air.  You can purchase the Flowerpot USB Air Purifier for $29.90 from Gadget4all.

This is one of those inventions most of the world really would probably wish it was never created.  To be more specific everyone around the person that owns one of these will really really wish that it would just break.  It can be reused time and time again, you’ll never need a refill for it like you would a normal air horn.  Which means misery for all those around the person that owns it, up until they wise up and “accidentally” smash it.

The horn blares just as loud as all air horns.  In order to keep it going you refill it with the included pump or any bicycle pump or service station air pump.  Each time you recharge it or fill it up using a pump it will get you 70 excessively loud blasts.  The fun will just keep on coming.  Not only is it meant for sports fans or those that just enjoy annoying others but for boaters as well.  You can purchase the Ecoblaster Rechargeable Air Horn for $29.98 from Things You Never Knew Existed.

Of all eco-friendly gadgets, a lot of the eco-friendly lights are my absolute least favorite gadget.  Specifically the flashlights that are powered by being wound up.  They always seem to be far too dim to actually see what it is you’re doing.  Hopefully since this one is solar powered as opposed to the type that you wind up, they’ll be a little on the brighter side of things.  Certainly the number of LED lights that they crammed into this flashlight will help at least a little bit.

It has a total of 10 LED lights within it, one would think that would make it easier to see what it is you’re shining the light on.  The flashlight itself is 250mm long with a diameter of 28mm.  It has a built-in rechargeable Li-on battery.  Unfortunately on Chinavasion, they aren’t selling these individually.  At least that’s how it appears.  They give the price each if you buy 2 or more as being set at $9.79 a piece.  However, they don’t give the price of them if you buy just one flashlight.

I don’t know if this next product is some sort of joke, but it feels like a sick one. If the photo to the left here was a video, you might see what I am talking about.

What you see in the picture is not some guy with a stamp of “01:35” on his wrist, but those numbers change as time goes by.

Yes, this is a wristwatch that is somehow implanted onto your wrist. It uses the natural kinetic energy for power, and it uses a wireless signal to sync up to an external clock to make certain your wrist is always on time.

So this an electric tattoo of a watch that is always there, no matter what. It is even planned to have the numbers glow when you hold your wrist up to view the time. I can’t help but wonder if this guy has the month and day on his left wrist.

Okay, I personally think that a device like this is some kind of unnatural relationship between technology and humanity. I mean, we’re not far off from Borg technology with something like this. It reminds me of a weird tattoo that Russell Crowe received in A Beautiful Mind.

However, I will let you, the readers, decide that. Leave a comment if you think this is an aberration of nature or just another advancement in technology.

It’s time to enter a new epoch of Repoch! Sanyo doesn’t use that slogan to sell their new DVR, but they really should. All right, they probably shouldn’t, but you have to admit, it is a cool rhyme.

Actually, the Sanyo Repoch is not only a DVR that has both an analog and digital TV tuner, but it is also an iVR (Information Versatile Disk). The iVR slot has a place for 320 gigabyte HDD cartridges, and comes with one 160 gigabyte iVDR cartridge.

There are connectivity options that include an Ethernet connection, HDMI output, component audio, plus video inputs with a couple of antenna posts. I’m not certain if the antenna ports are good for the digital era of TV.

As you can see from the attached photo, the Repoch comes with a very big and advanced remote control. You can also see that it is the picture of the Repoch is labeled as an “iV Recorder”. What does that mean? It can record things that are intra-venous? Maybe it is called that because it records information, hence the “I”. Then again, that is a small “I”, so perhaps it is iPod compatible? Clearly, I need to find out some more information about these particular gadget.

The Repoch is slated for a Japan-only release sometime around September 1st.

Sure, we have seen USB memory devices on objects that probably shouldn’t have USB memory devices, and so why not put one on a pair of sunglasses? And if you are going to put it on sunglasses, then put it on Calvin Klein sunglasses.

As you can see, the sunglasses come with a detachable right arm that houses the memory device itself. What you don’t see is that it has a 4GB capacity.

So the next time you are on the beach with your netbook, feel free to make a backup of your files on your sunglasses. Of course, you will have to partially disassemble the sunglasses to do that, don’t you? You might be able to keep them on your head with one arm if you don’t shake your head too much.

I suppose that the Calvin Klein memory drive sunglasses prove that just because you can make something, doesn’t mean you necessarily should. Of course, if you’re some sort of spy like Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise’s character from the Mission Impossible films, in case you forgot) then I can think of a few good uses for them. Hopefully they are water resistant, because of that hokey scene where Cruise hangs inches off the floor, and almost undone by a single drop of his sweat.

So, if you want to store your memory in style, be prepared to pay about $199 for these guys. Yeah, that’s a little pricey considering most 4GB flash drives are considerably less than that, so I’m guessing the high price is for the shades, man.
