Motorcycle Rider vs. Honda Civic
Posted by Frank Bisono Categories: Wearables, Internet, Transportation,
In the spirit of all things gadget related, we thought this would qualify as something you would want to see. This Evil Knievel Female just happened to have her video camera running when Mr. Fast and Furious wannabe decided to get sideways in front of her. Needless to say, she didn’t have much room to maneuver and here’s the result. A quick warning - we don’t recommend you try this at home kiddies, it could leave a mark or two if you know what we mean. At least she was sportin’ some leather and a helmet for the ultimate in safety gadgetry. You go girl…

With better ergonomics than strapping two Maglites to your feet, the BrightFeet Lighted Slippers are designed to provide you with the necessary illumination you need to avoid going “bump” in the night. Essentially a pair of headlights for your feet, the BrightFeet are motion-activated so they turn on when you slip into them and will supposedly
illuminate a path 20-25 feet in front of you. A sensor in each prevents the lights from coming on during the day, and a timer allows them to remain on for a short period after you have removed them, to facilitate you stumbling toward the bed. They sell for an MSRP of $39.95.

Virago Laptop Bags For The Ladies
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Wearables, PC / Laptop,
You know, recently I have noticed that electronic devices, along with their accessories, really are targeted towards men. I mean, so much so, that a woman has to do a hardcore search if she wants to find something to suit her personal taste, rather than a black nylon bag. We felt that, with Valentine’s Day and all, we might focus our attention exclusively on the women (for just a moment!), and introduce the Virago line of laptop bags. What’s cool about it? For starters, they look like a modern purse or handbag rather than a miniature black suitcase. The different bags fit laptops from 10-inches all the way up to 17-inches, and they will also be putting out iPod cases soon as well. Now we just need a place that specializes in girly PC case mods.
(Thanks quesara!)

Just When You Thought You’d Seen It All - iAttire iPod Costumes
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Apple, Wearables, Design, Misc. Tech, Portable Audio / Video, Toys,
We really thought we’d seen just about everything - we were wrong. We came across iAttire, a company devoted to outfitting…your iPod. Their selection ranges from the feminine to the masculine, from the cute to the absurd, and there’s a costume to fit any iPod - even the Shuffle and Nano. These aren’t the silicone wetsuits you’re used to - these are actual, honest-to-goodness costumes for the iPod, including a whole line of “Valentines Day” themed outfits like a chiffon negligee, boxer shorts, or even a corset.
The rest of the line covers just about every fashion you’d think to, er, dress your iPod in, from Pop Diva to Fairy Princess. And for the boys (is your iPod a boy or a girl?) there are a variety of manly disguises, like the Pirate, Cowboy and even Santa Claus - and here we were, thinking the iPod madness couldn’t get any crazier. We’ll give points for creativity and good fit, however, who’d have thought to make iPod costumes?!
The best part? They’re planning on releasing a series of iPod Portraits painted on velvet. Oh, the cheese of it! While my iPod is perfectly happy lounging about naked (that perverted iPod!), we’ve got to admit, iAttire has a great idea - it sure brought a smile to our faces.

SCOTTeVEST 237D Jacket Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Wearables, Features, Product Reviews,
The SCOTTeVEST 237D is the updated version of the Three.0 Spring jacket that we reviewed about a year-and-a-half ago. We have been testing out the 237D in Seattle weather for much of December, and are finding that the 237D moniker - which stands for “237 days,” meaning you can wear it for 3-out-of-4 seasons per year - lives up to its name for the most part. The 237D features 33 pockets, and adds the Detachable Cargo Cache, built-in battery holders, addition magnetic enclosures, and two more pockets than the Three.0 Spring. Check out the full review after the jump.

SCOTTeVEST Rodeo TEC Jacket Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Wearables, Features, Product Reviews,
The SCOTTeVEST Rodeo is yet another in the 4.0 line from our favorite gadget clothing company. We have been testing out the rodeo for the past couple of weeks, and have found it to be as versatile as it is functional. It has 39 pockets of various shapes and sizes for all your gear, and has a microsuede finish. Check out the full review after the jump.

Our friends over at OhGizmo got their hands on a TokyoFlash Diode watch, and put up a pretty thorough review of the device, culminating with:
The point is the watch is the epitome of geek chic. It’s manly, it’s made of stainless steel, it’s got LEDs, looks unusual and attention grabbing. It doesn’t just tell the time, it makes you decipher it. The timepiece costs $150 and ships from Japan.
Being fiends for unique watches, (heck, we are giving one away in our Holiday Gift Guide!) we had to share this one. Check out the full review at OhGizmo.

This product really was a pleasant surprise. Most of the things we review at Gear Live are gadgets with interesting or fun gimmicks that make them must-haves or horrible failures. The thing about the SLEEPTRACKER is that it doesn’t provide anything “fun” or “cool” per se. Instead, they have developed a product that actually improves your quality of life. Waking up fully energized on a daily basis is just amazing. It is almost as if there is no lost time, and you just want to seize the day. The product did exactly what it said it would do, and because of that, it gets our highest honor. This one comes very highly recommended. Check out our full review of the SLEEPTRACKER here.
Product: SLEEPTRACKER Watch
Price: $149
WIN IT!: Wanna win a SLEEPTRACKER watch? Just head on over to our Holiday Giveaway Forum Thread for details! One reader will walk away with a SLEEPTRACKER watch courtesy of Innovative Sleep Solutions and Gear Live Media!
