Really Cool Portable GPS Tracker

Somewhat annoyingly Think Geek have stopped selling this GPS tracker, however there is a huge selection of alternatives over on Amazon.

This must be one of (if not the) coolest spy gadgets I’ve ever reported on. It’s sort of a cross between a USB memory stick and a GPS receiver and what it does is store where ever you take it on the flash memory.
The Portable GPS Tracker is pretty small so you could either always carry it on you or use it in 007 spy mode by planting it on a person or vehicle you want to monitor. You may be wondering how you retrieve the stored info and secret routes, well that’s where it gets really cool.

Once the tracker has done it’s travels and it’s back in your possession you simply connect it to you PC and download the data. This data can then be plotted on Google Earth, Mapquest, maps.google.com and Virtual Earth to show exactly where it’s been, how long it took and how it got there.
I just think this is so cool (may of said cool a record number of times in this post) it obviously has the spy functionality of tracking somebody else but to me it is even more useful for tracking your own holidays and backpacking adventures. So not only can you bore visitors with your holiday snaps you can also show them exactly where you went.
Full feature list:

Records time, date, location, speed, direction and altitude
Works with Google Earth, Mapquest, maps.google.com, Virtual Earth
Location points are downloaded into its software and then mapped
Battery duration is 5 to 7 days of typical operation with 4,000 records
Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included)
Dimensions: 4″ x 1 1/4″ x 3/4″
Comes with TrackStick, lanyard, software CD

You ~~can~~ used to be able to buy this nifty GPS tracker from Think Geek for $249.99.

Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR

As a kid you always dream of those ultimate spy toys that allow for you to torture your siblings. As an adult you might still want them, but it’s doubtful that you’ll feel reassured living with a kid that owns one of those serious spy gadgets. This TRAKR would be a whole lot of fun, just as long as you’re the one controlling it. It’d be pure misery for anyone around you that doesn’t possess something like this.

Camcorder

This may look like yet another dorky iPod knock off that will never look as good as the original, but it has an extra angle. This fake iPod doesn’t play any music, instead it spies on everyone around you. Sure, it’s less than subtle when there’s a hole right in the center of what looks like it should be a screen, but if the people you’re spying on are complete morons you’ll be just fine.

Spycam Classic Lighter Camera

One thing that you ought to be more careful about these days are the number of spy and hidden cameras around, coming in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The Spycam Classic Lighter Camera from ThinkGeek is one of them, where this $59.99 device allows you to record down movements and behavior of your target discreetly without looking out of place. You get 4GB of storage space with this classic style lighter, where it will record in AVI format at 640 x 480 resolution. Plugging it into any available USB port will help juice up its internal battery, while that also allows you to transfer data over in a jiffy. Too bad it isn’t as realistic as to actually double up as a real lighter though.

The Next Room Eavesdropping Device

Listening in on the neighbors is always way too tempting to resist. If your walls are just a little too thick, you can pick up this handy gadget to help you out. Instead of trying the usual trick of pressing a glass against the wall, you could have an actual gadget do the job. Plus, this is far more portable than carrying around a glass. Although keep in mind, the seller does warn that some countries do actually prohibit the ownership of spy devices. Which makes it seem all the more awesome.

Universal Gadget Wrist Charger

Want to look like Spiderman, but instead of shooting out faux webbing from your wrists, you will be able to provide life saving energy for your gadgets? That is made possible thanks to the Universal Gadget Wrist Charger from ThinkGeek. This device will sit comfortably on your wrist, where you can plug it into just about any compatible electronic device, as it goes about powering a plethora of cellphones, MP3 players, portable gaming systems, and other devices which feature a mini USB port. Inside lies a rechargeable Lithium ion battery with a 1,500mAh rating, where it comes with four levels of power meter. Each $34.99 purchase ships with connectors for the iPhone, 2mm Nokia, 3.5mm Nokia, mini USB for Motorola, HTC, Dopod, MP3 and MP4 players, LG, Samsung i900, Sony Ericsson, Sony PSP, NDS Lite and Nintendo DSi.

Dreamate Sleep Inducer

If you’re one of those people that suffers from unusual sleep patterns and you want to get your body back in to check you might be able to do it with this acupuncture sleeping gadget, the Dreamate Sleep Inducer.

Dreamate uses accupressure techniques to gently massage the “sleeping golden triangle” on your left wrist. Used 30 minutes before bedtime, you can retune and reset your biological clock and train your body to relax and sleep. See results in as little as a week’s worth of use, with best results after eight weeks. These precise pressure points, when gently massaged, calm the body, lower stress levels, and induce sleep. Unlike addictive sleeping pills that knock you senseless, but offer little improvement in your sleep quality.

I’ve no idea how effective this is but it sounds kind of cool. The Dreamate is available from TG for $79.99.

The Ultimate Gaming Chair

Here I thought that the Pyramat Sound Chair was the ultimate gaming chair, but I was wrong. Very wrong. That title definitely goes to the Ultimate Game Chair. The name really gets the point across, eh?

This chair is packed with features. To start off, there are 12 vibration motors throughout the chair that are synchronized with the games action. Nerdy and cool.
As far as sound goes, you can use your stock headphones from a MP3 player etc, or plug the chair into your home stereo system to get full surround sound. There are adjustable 3D stereo speakers built into the chair as well.
Any type of gaming accessory will probably work with the chair, including steering wheels and custom controllers.
Comfort was definitely not overlooked when this chair was designed. It’s all leather material, has an adjustable headrest, leg rest, and even a beverage and remote controller holder. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this chair will give you a nice massage, too. Seriously.
Quite a few game consoles are compatible with the Ultimate Gaming Chair, including the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PC, Mac, PS1, and Xbox Live. For audio only, you can use all those and your iPod, DS, PSP, or generic MP3 player.
Just to recap, you get a massage chair, beverage holder, stereo sound, vibrators synced to the game, and a remote holder. If you’re a serious gamer, price means nothing, but if you’re not, the $400 price tag might give you some second thoughts.

At last, Shoes with GPS and Bluetooth

Well, I suppose it was about time that someone made a shoe with GPS and Bluetooth compatibility. I’m just surprised that it wasn’t Nike. No, the Isaac Daniel Compass and Blue GPS shoes are most likely a first for the shoe industry, and I’m certain they won’t be the only company with a Blue GPS shoe after a while.
Now, you may ask yourself: why would I want a shoe that is Bluetooth and GPS enabled? Well, if that shoe is linked to your phone via Bluetooth, it can use its GPS functionality to let everyone know where you are. That is, if you are willing to let your friends track you online. I suppose you could use these shoes to track people who tend to wander out of their safe zones, like the elderly or small children (assuming their little feet would fit in these shoes).
