9:40PM August 4, 2011 | Kat Hannaford

Unless it’s wearing a waterproof jacket, natch. These Japanese tap stands for both iPad and iPhone are so much fun, and come in black, blue, white or transparent. No word on pricing or availability, I’m afraid. [DesignBoom]

My eyes love the geometric nature of the Elecom Orime mouse. Something tells me my hands would not. Complete with five buttons (concealed by the mouse’s origami-inspired design) and laser tracking, this RF wireless mouse is available for $US85. [GeekStuff4U]

Who wants cordless mice when Elecom makes such a nice feature of the cord? OK, you might still prefer being cordless and fancy-free, but for those who don’t mind being restrained, they’re on sale in Japan soon, and globally later. [Elecom via Dezeen via OhGizmo]

3:40AM December 16, 2010 | Sam Biddle

Flimsy nylon! Neon plastic! Get outta here with your cheap-o iPod nano watches! The strap for those who grab salmon out of a nearby river for lunch is here. Pure leather. Awesome. Sophisticate – but in a sorta punch-you-in-the-face way. More »

Elecom iPod Shuffle Headphones: Pure Wireless

Bluetooth? Please. When you’ve got a music player as petite as the new iPod shuffle, a bulky dongle kind of defeats the purpose. So Elecom’s Actrail headphones cut out the middleman, plugging in the shuffle next to the right earpiece. Brilliant. More »

A USB Hub With A Power Strip State Of Mind

Finally, A Slot For All Those SDXC Cards You’ve Got Sitting Around

8:06AM February 10, 2010 | John Herrman

What came first, the SDXC card reader or the the SDXC card? Also, could that be the worst riddle of all time? Maybe! Partly because it doesn’t really work, and partly because Elecom has already answered it. More »

Pill poppers of the world, rise up and unite (and then sink back onto the sofa, unsure of why you just got up.) Elecom, the company who brought you these bricky earphones are now into drugs. Lucky, lucky us. More »
