The Carphone Warehouse have introduced an energy efficient mobile phone charger known as the “Eco Charger” which shuts itself down as soon as the battery in your phone is fully charged.

According to Carphone Warehouse if everyone used one, it could save the UK approximately 217 million kWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the yearly electricity usage of around 66,000 homes.

It retails at £22.99, and is compatible with certain Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung handsets. The new charger will be available at Carphone Warehouse from 3 March 2009.

After years of research, scientists have discovered that women do not like the standard mouse you use with your PC.  Scientists found that there is not a physical reason for their aversion, it is more of a psychological problem. Some women reported that their mouse ‘just didn’t feel right’ in their hands.

Based on research, a new mouse has been designed especially for women. Various field tests have been carried out on the new design:

Julie
from Manchester said:-

‘It feels so much better. More comfortable, more like how it’s supposed to be’

Susan
from Ashton added:-

‘I think mice were originally designed just for men, but this new type is definitely made for women. It fits right in with my lifestyle’

Sarah
from Birmigham :said -

‘I took to it like a duck to water, every woman should have one’!

 Wait for it…..

The Lifetimer clock is certainly different and it lets you keep track of the important things in life in a fun way - like how long till my next holiday aaaaarrrrrgh!

The clock face is surrounded by a collection of buttons relating to various things that go on in your life so birthdays, hometime, s*x and even how long you have been with your latest squeeze for!

Simply press any of the buttons and it will give you the number of hours, minutes and seconds you’ve got left till the event happens or have already passed.  

Great idea for a clock and it’s only £14.99, just need to count down how many days ’till you get paid to see when you can buy it!

I love handbags so this fashion/tech handbag combo really caught my eye.  BagTV combines luxury handbags and high tech equipment to create a new concept in handbag design. Is this really going to be the latest must have fashion accessory? I’m not sure, it just makes it seem more nickable to me!

They come in a range of colours and fabrics and have a TV screen, DVD and Mpeg player integrated into the handbag design itself. It also has a USB and SD slot allowing connectivity to digital cameras and computers, so you could have a slideshow of your photos if you really wanted to – not sure why you want to do that on your handbag though.

You can play up to 2.5hours of movies on there before recharging with the mains or car charger. It definitely is a fashion statement and probably quite useful for busy mums who need to stick their kids in front of a movie when they are out an about.

It retails at around £199, for more details check out www.bagtv.com.

What do you think, love it or leave it ?
