(30 August 2005) - Tube, the absolute best subway mapping program for the Palm, has been updated to a significantly new and improved version. Incorporating subway lines and station information with either a system or street view, Tube even includes route planning and timing information to figure out the optimal series of connections during any time of day. ...

Mimoco Figurine Flash Drives
(26 August 2005) - I love toys and I also love tech gadgets. I've been known to through down the cash for either items rather impulsively. So there's not much doubt as to whether or not this figurine flash drive from Mimoco will be adopted by me in near future. She wants to live with me. She told me so through the net. Isadore comes in 256MB, 512MB...

Fossil Atari Watches
(23 August 2005) - Cool Hunting reader and del.icio.us user bradyj points us to the limited edition Asteroids-themed watch, the first in a collection dosed with vintage Atari graphics and animation by Fossil. Forthcoming styles due out by the end of September include Asteroids, Centipede (pictured here), and Breakout, each available in either a metal or leather band. The major drawback is that they're unplayable, but it doesn't...

Crosley Traveler Turntable
(22 August 2005) - For the casual crate-digger this Crosley Traveler is a retro '50s throwback that helps solve the problem of limited playing times and adds a portability bonus. Crosley's Stack-O-Matic technology enables up to six records (of most sizes and speeds) to play sequentially through dynamic full range stereo speakers, soothing audiophile ears in an iPod age. Weighing in at just over 18 pounds and powered...

Seeking Green Striped Headphones
(18 August 2005) - Our friend Rebecca picked up a pair of these fun green striped Zumreed headphones during her last trip to Tokyo. Unfortunately they were just destroyed in the hands of an adorable yet mischievous toddler. Anyway, I'm putting a call out to see if any of you know of a venue, on-line or in the physical world, that sells these and will ship to New...

Flip Flap
(17 August 2005) - Urban-dwellers seeking to balance the person-to-tree ratio will find a friend in Flip Flap, a petite plant that looks and moves like a cartoon. Waterless, batteryless, and sunless, it's waving leaves may be the lowest cuteness-to-maintainance ratio out there, but you're not completely off the hook - the packaging requests you "please grow your Flip Flap in your mind and bloom your own special...

iPod Subway Maps
(10 August 2005) - Our latest addition to the "why didn't we think of that?" list is this package of subway maps for the iPod. It's a simple and genius concept: upload the maps into the iPod's photo albums for easy access in times of underground uncertainty. The maps work on all color-screen iPods (formerly iPod Photo) and are absolutely free. New York, D.C., Boston and Hong Kong...

Apple Mighty Mouse
(02 August 2005) - Aside from a mobile phone, there isn't anything I've waited longer for Apple to make. The Mighty Mouse is a programmable 5 button mouse with a scroll ball instead of a scroll wheel. The ball allows for vertical and horizontal scrolling as well as clicking. The shell design is clean and distinctively Apple, with its cleanliness afforded by the fact that the left and...

Optimus Keyboard
(18 July 2005) - The Optimus Keyboard is a wireless keyboard that features small color displays on each key that display the function for the currently active application. Above you can see (left to right) english characters, Photoshop functions and Quake shortcuts. There's also a set of programmable keys that can be used to shortcut to applications (right).

Haute Sex
(18 July 2005) - Sex toys as a rule are simply, well, not that sexy. It's as if an invisible line runs between high design and sex, ironically suggesting that sensual curves and lines inspired by the body were somehow irrelevant when created for the body. A recent outcropping of luxury sensual products, including Myla, Jimmyjane, Mi-Su, Lelo and the Mile High Kit, erase that false divide, finally...

Sony Ericsson K750i
(11 July 2005) - On Friday I managed to procure a Sony Ericsson K750i and after spending the weekend with it I'm very impressed. In basically the same form factor as the T610, they've jammed in a 2 Megapixel camera, MP3 player, games and all the organizational tools I use in my Treo. While it's not a Treo replacement, it's definitely a great alternate phone for one who...

The Rotolog Watch
(06 July 2005) - "We make the little shit better," say the watchmakers at Nixon. And after seeing their newest design, we can't help but agree. Stylish, water-resistant and precise, the Rotolog is one of our favorite new timepieces. The watch boasts impressive-sounding technology ("custom right-read Direct Time Japanese quartz with LED") and a sleek inlay of real walnut wood in stainless steel, and it's available from Nixon...

Mobiado Professional Executive Model
(01 July 2005) - Mobiado is among the few handset manufacturers focused exclusively on fashion phones. Their latest, the Executive Model, is available with Cocobolo or Honduran Rosewood casing and has stainless steel buttons. The interface is based on Nokia's Series 40 UI and though Mobiado is not affiliated with Nokia, the guts of the phone are presumably similar as well. The feature set is standard for a...

PAL Fashion Colors
(30 June 2005) - By now we've all seen Tivoli's iPAL, the portable iPod amp with an AM/FM radio and decent sound. Up until now most have come in white versions that match the hegemonic look of their counterparts. For Summer, Tivoli intoduces the PAL Fashion Colors, a series of four different shades that coordinate well with beachwear. Also, look out for the iSongbook in Fall, another portable...

DLO Flip Clip
(22 June 2005) - DLO's Flip Clip is by far the most useful accessory we've seen for the iPod Shuffle. With all due respect to the pint-sized player, it's always looked a tad silly when worn as a pendant necklace. The Flip Clip provides a worthy alternative; true to its name, it clips to your shirt, belt, pants or bag, and provides easy access to flip the Shuffle's rear...

Weber One-Touch Gold Grill
(19 June 2005) - Although we here at Cool Hunting realize that stereotypes are so not cool, we also understand that sometimes they exist for a reason. My dad loves to grill, my friends' dads love to grill, and chances are yours does too. So, in observance of Father's Day 2005 (here in the US), we pay homage to one of the classic designs of the 20th century, one...

Off The Wall
(16 June 2005) - Technologically speaking, the "On/Off Switch" by Tobias Wong may not be as advanced as its kitschy precursor The Clapper, but it's surely a hell of a lot classier. Wong has emancipated the familiar lightswitch from its predictable position on the wall, encased it in lucite and placed it literally in the palm of your hand. Essentially a remote control for home lighting, this wireless...

Vodafone V501T Cover
(10 June 2005) - This little fella is just one of twelve of the cover costumes for the Vodafone V501T. What could be cuter than turning your cell phone into a little pet monster to keep you company as you sit and drink your morning tea? It sure as hell kicks the non-existent ass of the giant bunnyhead phone cover I was sporting for a hot minute. At...

Color Flash Holga
(09 June 2005) - The Color Flash Holga, quietly released in late 2004, is the latest plastic wonder from the Lomographic Society International. Art schoolers and adventurous amateurs have long enjoyed Holga's beautiful and unpredictable results: vignetting, soft focus, and light leaks. The new model is a natural evolution of this primitive classic, boasting only one additional (but fantastic) feature-- the "Color Flash Wheel." Now photographers can use...

City Kitty
(06 June 2005) - I don't have a cat and probably never will, but if I did a CitiKitty mine would be. Invented by Rebecca Rescate and her husband when they moved in to a small NYC apartment, the training starts as a litter box placed on the toilet seat. Over time you remove the inner rings, reducing the amount of litter used and teaching the cat to...

Custom Hulgers
(03 June 2005) - If you happened to miss the buzz a couple days ago, Pokia relaunched as Hulger and will be manufacturing old school corded cell phone headsets. Even better, they have Bluetooth and VoIP models in the works. Right now they're auctioning a bunch of customized Hulgers that were in the Margin London show last February. The designs come from I-Saw, Junky Styling, New Future Graphic,...

Retro-Electro
(01 June 2005) - The new book Retro-Electro is a primer to the slew of outmoded devices left in the wake of tech’s breakneck progress over the last four decades. With photos, brief descriptions, history, and pricing info, it’s as much for the obsessed collector as for those who just want a trip down memory lane.

Sensacell
(27 May 2005) - Leo Fernekes is a bit of a mad scientist operating in the commercial art-technology realm. He's a master electrical engineer exploring physically immersive human interfaces. If you have ever been to Remote Lounge, the hyper-surveillance themed bar on the Bowery in New York, you've had a taste of what Leo can conceive. Last night I had a chance to experience Leo's latest, Sensacell, developed...

Power Strip Liberator
(26 May 2005) - On a regular basis I profess the definition of design to be an exercise in problem solving. The Power Strip Liberator is a perfect example of what I consider great design. It's a one foot long extension cord that bridges your power strip to the bulky plug so that none of the outlets are blocked. Of course solving this problem creates yet another one--...
