In a time when airlines charge for everything including your first piece of checked luggage and any sort of overage in weight, the Balanzza Ergo is a handy, money saving gadget. A digital luggage scale, it is an ergonomically designed device that lets you easily weigh your baggage before you get to the airline counter so you can anticipate or avoid extra charges.
Weighing only 8 oz. itself and compact in size, it's easy to pack to take with you on your trip just in case you buy a bunch of gifts for the return trip. Simple to use, just secure the scale to the bag's handle by using the provided strap and lift the luggage until you hear a beep indicating the weight has been registered. A bright easy to read LCD display indicates weight. During these days of stressful and difficult travel, being informed is vital and can save you money. Be a bit more prepared and purchase the Balanzza Ergo for $25 from Balanzza.

Whether we subscribe to the cliché or just had too much Skyy to remember, what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas. We teamed up with Zune...

The annual Consumer Electronics Show took the breath out of Vegas last week. While there was an endless slew of things to see, we found a few stand-outs worth reporting on. Iqua 603 SUN, Solar Powered Bluetooth Headset This compact Bluetooth headset from Iqua offers all the same features as the big brands, but stands out with the innovative integration of a solar cell....
Perhaps taking a cue from the iBelieve (a lanyard that made the original iPod shuffles look like crosses), Chinese electronics wholesaler Chinavision recently came out with a crucifix-shaped MP3 player for devout music listeners. It's a rather unique way of marketing technology and we can't help but wonder what the J Man would think of such a device. The player offers 1GB of internal...
