Lego Vending Machine

Lego Vending Machine
This Lego vending machine on a Munich train platform might be the best way to keep your kids entertained. Ideally placed for frustrated parents trying to keep their children calm on a long journey, this machine dispenses a wide range of Lego toys.

SuperTooth HD

SuperTooth HD
It looks like we already have the option to text, dial our phones and use Facebook without ever taking our eyes off the road. Phew!

SuperTooth is launching the SuperTooth HD– the most advanced Bluetooth speakerphone on the market today, it has three times more power than other models and it allows drivers to answer incoming calls, select pre-dialed phone numbers, check battery level or retrieve voicemail. The SuperTooth Handsfree Assistant feature, powered by Dial2Do, allows drivers to compose and send Facebook, Twitter, e-mail and SMS messages via voice alone.

State-of-the-art voice commands are designed to provide a hands-free solution for phone use in the car. The SuperTooth HD features two speakers with a 5 watt audio output, 5.4 watt amplifier and built-in dual microphones to pick up voices more clearly. Just clip the SuperTooth HD onto the car's sun visor; no installation required.

Textminator

Textminator
Tired of shooting zombies, racing roadsters and putting together attack combos? Head on over to the less-popular side of the arcade and pop your quarter into the Textminator, a real-life arcade box that turns sending SMS messages into a game.

What? You heard that right. Instead of memorizing button-mashing combos and showing off your joystick prowess, you wrap your grubby thumbs around a cellphone controller, racing against the clock to punch the words and phrases that appear onscreen. Seriously.

The first-of-its-kind (and, hopefully, the last) coin-op arcade box, the Textminator challenges players to put their texting skills to task. You can race against time in single player mode, aiming to put your score at the top of the machine's leaderboard. Fancy a more competitive atmosphere? Challenge someone to a two-player game, going head-to-head to determine who really is faster at thumbing through small keypads.

Mobile Visor

Mobile Visor
The Mobile Visor clips onto your BlackBerry screen to stop nosy people from reading your oh so important private stuff. We're kind of thinking that if they're that keen to see what you're doing, they'll need a) a telescopic neck and b) a finely tuned set of eyeballs which can penetrate tiny oblique LCD screens at a distance. We're not saying it can't be done, mind you, just that it's kind of unlikely without you noticing. Anyway, here's a solution if you're still paranoid about it. $8.95.

Smartphone Holder for Strollers

Smartphone Holder for Strollers
Texting while driving is illegal in many states, but texting while pushing a stroller is still totally legal! It's just difficult, unless you have something to mount your phone onto the handlebar of your stroller, something like the Texthook. This $26 device fits many size phones and stoller models and lets you text and push at the same time. Not just compatible with strollers, you can use the Texthook on shopping carts, bicycles and treadmills, too. Now your child is no longer an obstacle to getting your text on.

Just don't expect to be winning any prizes for Parent of the Year.
