11:00AM Nick Broughall | Can anyone – anyone – please explain to me the appeal of having a cheap mono speaker attached to your keyring? Aside from the fact that this actually promotes kids to ignore gadget etiquette, considering the speaker is a tiny 2.5cm cube that incorporates a 3.5mm headphone jack and a rechargeable battery (and a USB port to charge it), the sound quality is sure to be something akin to a wailing banshee, and not just when you’re listening to 2DayFM. Not only that, but who wants a one-inch cube bulging from their pants pocket? For the $30 price tag, you could be well on your way to a decent set of portable stereo speakers.

Mugen Pop Pop Infinite Bubble Wrap Toy Hits the US
12:30PM Jason Chen | The previously Japan only Mugen Puchi Puchi bubble wrap toy is now available in the US for $US5.99. It’s available in four colours: cold sore pink, pea soup green, dying of exposure blue and cadaver grey. It’s fun, yes, but the sound effect unfortunately doesn’t sound all that much like the *POP* of a real bubble wrap bubble and more of like a generic sound effect speaker noise from a handheld game you played in 1985. You do get a fart, barking dog or door chime sound every 100 pops, which is worth something, I think. It comes in keychain form so as to prevent your keys from flying away, Mary Poppins style.
