Cutie Gadget

Nah, finally I found a really Unique, and Freak Gadgets from Japan. Remember I have post similiar Japan Piggy Bank like this Bomb Bank and Packman, the money eater? This Ikeman Bank is weirder than those banks. Let’s Check out how crazy this Japanese Gadgets is…

This Ikeman Bank Gadget only looks like usual Heart Shaped Piggy Bank. But if you further, you can see that there is a lcd screen there. If you save money there (500 yen) you can choose a boy from 5 virtual boys available. Once the boys selected, you can save more money (another 500 yen) and the boy will speak and interact wit you! They even will say: “Cute”,”Beautiful”, even “Can I kiss you?”, and to make further conversation, you have to save another 500 yen. They will also confess their feeling to you, and you have to make a choice. Once you save $50,000 you will get ending with the virtual handsome guys!

That’s a very interactive way to save money I think, although it sound weird and can only be used for girls. Oh yeah, the Virtual boys also can wake you up with soft and gentle voice, because this gadget also embedded with the Alarm. Ikeban itself means “Hansome Guys” in Japanese. This gadget cost your 4,935 and available In Pink and White Color. However, this gadget will only be release in September, so you have to preorder it.

You can also upload the videos and pictures easily to the personal computer or Mac, and share the pictures with your online friends.

The Sanyo Xacti is a compact and lightweight portable camcorder that can slip easily in your pocket and accompany you on every outing. Keep it handy and ready to take those lovely snaps of your baby as he takes his little steps towards you.

The limitation of the Sanyo underwater video camera is that it can only be taken to a depth not exceeding 5 feet, and can only be kept underwater for one hour. You can now shoot high quality video films in MPEG-4 format. You can also take six mega pixel still images in JPEG format. The videos can now be stored on an SD and SDHC memory cards.
