Most people use cellphones just for receiving and making calls. It is quite common to see people getting flustered with all the unwanted features which could actually be enjoyed better on the laptop or with a camera. The 31337 (Elite) Net Phone has thus been designed by Shane Crozier and it brings the social networking lifestyle to the real life.
Cutting down on many unwanted features such as camera, speakerphone, music, video and internet functionality, the 31337 adds contacts by linking to sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It takes all the data from there and comes with 2 minimal buttons and 2 dial interface. It also comes with a scrolling interface. Now all I would want in this is texting facility as most people use cellphones to send SMS.

Ju Young Kim has designed a cellphone that apparently purifies air. In fact this could be the world’s first air purifying cellphone that also protects the users from air pollution and viruses. The Mobile Airload also emits a very pleasing aroma that makes the user’s environment smell good regardless of the person using a perfume or not.
The Mobile Airload also detects the air quality and warns you if something is going wrong in the vicinity of your location. There is no information about the cellphone’s price or availability. There is also no word on what kind of technical specifications the phone comes with. I would say, go ahead and get yourself a cool cellphone and carry some air fresheners with you, if you cannot lay your hands on this cellphone.

It’s rather surprising to realize that some people are indeed very strange when it comes to performing scary stunts. A Canadian man is selling his homemade jetpack via online classified ad. Apparently, he handcrafted the jetpack by himself and used car and airplane parts. He had been a mechanic for 15 years. You must be wondering what this jetpack is all about. Well, this will allow you to jump in the air as high as 10 feet.
You can jump twice per hour. It weighs 53lbs and it is as big as an ordinary camping backpack. It comes in grey color. If you are looking at the fun part of the jetpack, it’s advisable to also look at the flip side of it. You might land up dashing against the wall of a building if you are not careful while jumping in the air. You might land up breaking your bones no matter how safe it is to jump in the air with this jetpack on your back.

Gaggenau RW 496 is something that you would need to have if you are seriously considering being a wine connoisseur. It has been specifically designed for wine lovers and this refrigerator not only chills your wine to the right temperature but it also makes sure that the wine is stored in the best manner possible. It comes with amazing temperature and humidity control.
Not just pink, red and white wines, but you could also store “wine food” like cheese, meats and even chocolates. Cigars could be stored too, and you would not need to buy a separate humidor. In fact, the Gaggenau resembles a cigar humidor and that too an expensive one at that.

There have been several complaints about fireworks being either too expensive, or noisy or even too polluting. Moreover you would need license to burn fireworks and you would not necessarily get it every time. What you could instead do is get yourself a Uchiage Hanabi fireworks which has been unveiled by Sega Toys.
It mimics the audio and video of fireworks and thus you could have your own fireworks show right in the living room. It comes with five lenses and projectors which create effects of fireworks based on the kind of fireworks you want. You could choose the colour, type, sound etc.
