Seeing as Forza 2 just came out, we bet a lot of you have been pulling your wireless 360 steering wheels out of retirement. In comes LapDesk, a nice little device that lets you secure a steering wheel to your legs.
Using only a piece of wood, a strap and a glass shelf. That way you coffee table-less gamers can still join in on the steering wheel goodness.
Now readers how much would you pay for such an amazing piece of equipment like this? $50, $100, $150? Those offers just insult the LapDeck, it’s creators are asking for £175 ($350 US) and then there’s a six week waiting list.
Here’s a suggestion, take $50, walk over to IKEA and buy a coffee table right now. That way you can use your wheel immediately, save $300 and you get an actual table.– Ben Longo

Weighing much less than a stone, the Zen Stone Plus updates the Zen Stone with twice as much storage (2GB vs. 1GB), a blue OLED screen (cheers at being able to see), more format compatibility, FM Tuner, and half an hour less battery life.
It’s only been a month and a half since Creative introduced the Zen Stone, so we know either the first version wasn’t selling well, or the second version wasn’t ready in time to get out the door by May. Why they didn’t just wait until now to do things right is anyone’s guess. – Jason Chen

I’m still here at home base feeding you the goods, but I’m hoping you’ll bear with me. Don’t get too close to the screen. It’s catching. -Seamus Byrne
The manhunt has begun. The mission? Find the guy who built this stroller that just might be coolest way to get around—for someone who can barely walk, that is. Spotted at Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles, the littlest Imperial-to-be was carted around in his own ATAT. Thingamababy, with the help of DaddyTypes, are doing their best to find out how the one-of-a-kind stroller was built, and already have quite a few of the pieces put together.
Sure, this 7-inch portable Wii LCD screen contains its own IR sensor bar, but how fun is it to play Wii on a 7-inch screen? Can you imagine your family gathered around a campsite, huddled around a fire, smacking each other in the face when your mother swings back to serve?
Luckily it’s only 14,800 Yen ($119), which isn’t too bad a price to pay for a 7-inch LCD. Plus, in Japan, everyone crowding around a tiny object is pretty much standard practice. – Jason Chen
