At first glance, Mimobots don’t appear to be computer peripherals at all. They seem more like hip pieces of art or lawn gnomes for the Barbie Dream House, or something of that sort. But they’re actually USB flash drives called Mimobots, and there are a lot of them.

With their caps on, the Mimobots look like weird little people, or, indeed, robots. Some, in fact, are designed to look like specific people or robots; Mimoco has released lines licensed from Star Wars, Halo, and others. Now, I’m not a fan of any Star Wars movie that didn’t involve Luke Skywalker’s hand getting cut off, and I’m too rugged a fellow to get excited about something because it’s “cute,” but take a look at the C-3PO and R2-D2 Mimobots (and read the full review) after the break.

With the holiday get-togethers right around the corner, the iPhone coaster set from Meninos is the perfect way to show your true inner geek when having a drink with your in-laws. This coaster set is based on the 16 original iPhone applications that Apple has been shipping with the device (excluding the iTunes and App Store icon). Judging by the image provided with the set, the coasters appear to be very well designed with bright and bold colors. We have to agree with them when they say their designs are “simple and different.”

I spend decent money on headphones. I know there are many people out there who are happy with $20 headphones off the rack at the local drugstore, but I’m not one of them. This is mainly because I wear headphones at work, not just on the train, while out for walks or taking flights. I use my headphones every day, so they have to be comfortable, and they have to get good sound.

And yet, this is the first time I’ve tried out noise canceling headphones. I don’t really need noise cancellation in an office setting, so there’s never been a point in paying for technology I’d rarely use. High end active noise canceling headphones can hover around $300 or more, after all. But now, with their $100.00 Clear Harmony Foldable Active Noise Canceling Headphones, however, Able Planet has put this technology with reach.

I recently had the opportunity to check out a couple sets of iPhone headphones from Maximo, and yes they fit (without an adapter) in the recessed jack on the original iPhone without any problems. I was sent two sets of headphones to review, the iMetal IP-HS2 Isolation headphones and the iMetal IP-HS1 Stereo headphones.
