Generic Wii Fit Balance Board Is Cheap, Still Comes at a Cost
3:20AM Mark Wilson | This Wii Fit Balance Board offered by Chinavasion is just $US65—not a bad price as the Balance Board is only offered in a Wii Fit bundle for $US90. But we wouldn’t recommend the purchase. More »

LED Bulb Features Gnarly Golden Heatsink
11:20PM Mark Wilson | LED light bulbs come in all sorts of strange sizes and shapes, but this offering from Chinavision is unabashed in its design. More »

His and Her Watch Phones Good for Dick Tracy Fantasy Role Play
12:00AM Jack Loftus | Sadly, watch phones still aren’t cool, but Dick Tracy called the weekend news desk and approved the heck out of these his and her models from Chinavision. Sporting dual SIM cards, these black and pink pieces of geek arm candy do video and music, take pictures, and feature a touchscreen (complete with mini stylus). They just don’t do cool. Unless, of course, you happen to look great in yellow and have penchant for battling wildly exaggerated baddies whose names reflect their physical appearances. Bluetooth headset included for about $US148 (discount for buying in pairs—how cute). More »

Chinavasion Webcam-Fan-In-One Will Blow You Away
1:00PM Elaine Chow | Every webcam girl worth her salt knows that there’s nothing sexier than the “oh my, is there a breeze in here causing my hair to be all windswept” look, which makes this new accessory from Chinavision absolutely genius. It’s a 1.3mp webcam and fan, with both pieces mounted on separate adjustable arms. And in case you need more lighting to really make it seem like you’re starring in your own 90s girl group music video, it comes with two extra white LED lights as well. No listed price, but Chinavision offers a discount if you buy it in bulk. [Chinavasion] More »

Multimedia Watch Makes Wrist Mounted Accessories Useful (Almost)
9:00PM Haroon Malik | The day when the watch is once again a useful piece of technology is looming over us. For proof, check out Chinavasion’s Multimedia Watch, which packs in a 1.8-inch LCD (160 x 128), voice recorder, in-built loudspeaker, 8GB flash, as well as support for pretty much every media codec ever conceived. (AVI, MP4, WMV, MOV, MP3, WMA, JPEG and the list goes on.) More »

Spy Camera Hides in Chewing Gum Wrapper
12:25AM Mark Wilson | This little audio/video spy camera from Chinavision will put a touch of James Bond in your Juicy Fruit. Sized perfectly to slide inconspicuously into a gum wrapper, swallowing the camera in dire emergencies will become far more palatable. Sure the specs leave a lot to be desired, as a 176×144 video in 3GP format (mobile phone MPEG4) isn’t going to convince any international court that these women having towel fights in locker rooms need to be stopped. But the 2GB MicroSD slot should make room for plenty of video. Buy it in small, wholesale lots for about $US30 a unit. [product via 7gadgets] More »
