Spider-Man Sacrfices His Face to Hold Your Cellphone in a Car
Poor Spidey. His disembodied head suction-cupped to your windshield, forced to hold your mobile devices with his face. That's no way for a superhero to go out. On the plus side though, this little plastic gadget will give you a unique place to store your cellphone while keeping it at eye level in case you receive a call. Plus, it will only set you back $17.

Big Time Digital Wall Clock: You've Finally Made It, Timex Watch Guy
The Big Time Digital Wall Clock has no qualms about its place in your life. It's giving you the time. And doing it the big way. At over three feet wide and a foot and a half long, the Big Time clock features an admittedly stylish circuit board backing. Maybe we'd consider the purchase if it weren't so, you know, big. Available in four color schemes, the Big Time clock will set you back $130, but we're pretty sure that it doubles as a Big Time nightlight and Big Time tanning bulb if you're budget is smaller than your Big Time lifestyle.

Touch 360 Tablet Stand: An Easel to Your Digital Canvas
Tablets are great to work with when you're walking around like you're too good to use a normal computer, but sitting at a desk can make things tricky. This stand/docking station from Touch 360 is an elegant solution to sometimes awkward tablet ergonomics. Well-stocked with USB ports and power, the stand can either make your tablet into an all-in-one PC, or it can tilt/swivel/raise into a sort of Microsoft Surface Light. Good stuff, but no word on price or availability. [Touch 360 via Gizmowatch]
iphone 3g
With iPhone 3G availability still a month away, inquiring minds can't help but scour the Apple site for clues. After drooling over the 3G and GPS info, we spotted a less tantalizing update: the included accessories. Where's the dock, what's up with this cheaper-looking power adapter, and was it really worth it to include a paperclip replacement?

Chocolate Case for iPhone Already Past Its Sell-By Date
The ChocoCase is a sturdy case for iPhone that has an incorporated screen protector. Added to the GizFever catalog on, it says, June 10, there's one problem that I can see: it's designed for the almost-obsolete first-gen iPhone. Still, nice idea, even if it costs $30. More »

That's a photo of one side of Thermalright's prototype HSC-101 case, with a heatblock for the CPU. The other side looks identical, but it's for the GPU, and both sides can dissipate "150 Watts of heat". [TG Daily]

While stuffing the svelte MacBook Air into a case may seem to defeat the point of buying an Air in the first place, some of you will do it anyway. And this Agent 18 MacBook Air Shield looks like a decent compromise. Constructed of durable, lightweight polycarbonate, the Shield leaves your USB port and ventilation unobstructed for happy computing while reinforcing the edges and bottom for the occasional latte collision. $50 and available now. Here are some more pics:

Weak, Flabby Dollar Creating Wii Fit Shortage, Could Probably Use Some Time On Wii Fit
Did you see Lam sweating it out in his Wii Fit review? Did that cause you rush out to the store, hands trembling with anticipation, in an attempt to procure one for yourself? Of course it did, but you probably came home empty-handed because the thing was basically sold out weeks before it even launched. And now we know why: the US Dollar sucks, and it's causing the notoriously conservative Nintendo to shift stock to places like Europe and Japan.More »

Cassette Watch: Best Invention Since the Mix Tape
WARNING: by reading about the Cassette-Face Watch, you too could lose $70 (£35) into the void of online shopping. Constructed of stainless steel and featuring dual dials (one for hours, one for minutes), its faux hand-sketched labels make this accessory transcend normal watch for a moniker more like "really great watch that looks like a cassette tape so I think it's kinda neat."

Laptop Bags Soon Welcome in Airports
While most of us have become fine-oiled machines in working our way through airport security without shoes, belts (and thereby sometimes pants), ripping one's laptop from its safehaven in your bag and placing it, cluckily, in an X-ray tray is never a pleasant experience. Luckily, the TSA has finally decided that laptop bags that meet certain provisions will be considered X-ray friendly.
But there had to be a catch...

Pitfall Bag Celebrates Man's Two Passions: Adventure and Needlepoint
Pitfall fans with 13-inch laptops, this is your day! Over at Etsy, one artist is selling handmade needlepoint Pitfall laptop cases. Diehard Apple fanboys will notice that the featured Pitfall screen is actually from the Apple IIC version of the game. But don't worry PC-users, anyone who noticed that piece of trivia would be a fairly intolerable companion anyway. At $150 it's a doable purchase, but we're not so sure about that choice of lining.

Xbox 360 Pajama Pants Are Perfect for Pantsing
These official Xbox 360 pants are 100 percent cotton with an elastic waistband, adjustable drawstring tie and an open fly (which is how Chen rolls). They're only 18 bucks, but I'm deathly afraid of what happens if you get the Red Ring of Death. [WebUndies via Max Console]

3G iPhone Case Shows Thicker, Curvier Backside (and Front-Facing Camera Too?)
This isn't the first time we've heard that iPhone case manufacturers have gotten an early peek at the 3G iPhone, but this rendering on XSKN's site for the EXO mask iPhone 3G is obviously a bit more detailed than the rough sketches from a couple weeks ago. It lines up with them though, as well as what we've heard earlier: It's a bit thicker, with a more pronounced curve to the back, though it's hard to tell if the headphone jack is flush now. The earpiece hole spans almost the whole width of the phone—could it be for a front-face camera? Apply the usual skepticism here, but this could be plausible, given that cases will have to be ready in time for launch, so manufacturers likely already have the specs. [XSKN via Mac Rumors]

Xtand Makes iPhone Into Very Small, Underpowered iMac
The Xtand is a solid aluminum stand that not only holds your iPhone when your hands have better things to do, but does so in that "I'm an aluminum stand that looks like an iMac stand" kind of way. It's 100% fanboy gear, but we have to admit, the 360-degree rotation and cable management system (aka hole in the back) actually look kind of convenient. No word on price at this time. If only Jeff Foxworthy's career were alive right now, we could end this post with a decent "you might be an Apple fanboy if..." joke. Our condolences to his family. [JustMobile via MobilitySite]

Guitar Hero: On Tour DS Bundle Coming in June
In a conference call today Activision said that their DS rendition of Guitar Hero will be hitting stores in June, and Nintendo was so impressed by the controller add-on, that they're allowing the hardware to be included with the game as a bundle set. Activision didn't discuss price or specific release day, but it's good knowing the game is coming sooner than later. Let's hope it's as awesome as the console version. [Joystiq]
