One of the handiest gadgets on the market must be the battery free flashlight. These great devices merely need a good shake to provide more than adequate lighting. Called the Nightstar, this device weighs just 11 ounces and is great for those emergency situations where batteries are not an option.

The flashlight enables the energy created by a magnet passing through a coil of wire, when it is shaken, to be stored in a capacitor. This then is used to light the torch when it is needed. Some people claim that they have had their torch for over twelve years and it is still going strong. At around $25 this must be one of the bargains of the century!

Now for something really cool! The Magicjack is a little device that fits onto the computer through the USB port. It then allows the user to make phone calls to landlines for free in the US. It costs just $40 for the first year, and $20 per year thereafter. What a great way to stay in touch, and virtually for free.

Is anyone bored with those square black boxes that house speakers these days? Look no further, because the Harman Kardon GLA-55 Speakers are housed in miniature icebergs! Yes, speaker casings that mimic icebergs. Although some would doubt that these work properly. Users have said that they give great bass response along with high frequency sound. They look good on the shelf too instead of the boring outfits that we are used to!
