Mother’s day is already next month, more specifically on the second Sunday of May, which is on the 11th. If you want a simple yet useful gift, check out this peculiar mirror.

It has 7 mirrors in total, 3 in each side and 1 in the middle. All these mirrors mean that the person using it, won’t need (in theory) any help to take care of the hair, or make-up. To make everything more interesting, and give a bit of style, the central mirror has some lights.

Mounts with suction cups or screws.

Priced approximately at 20.

PS - works with 3 AAA batteries, most likely for the illumination.

Say you like taking photos, but don’t like carrying a large camera with you. Then the age of cameras built into cell-phones may have sounded promising to you, but if, like me, you have a cell with a less than stellar zoom. Perhaps you may be experiencing some disappointment, but worry no longer, as long as you don’t mind lugging some extras around.

Green-House has released a kit for such photography-aficionados, which contains the super-lens with up to an 8x zoom, universal handset clamp and tripod. The asking price is around $88, but remember it will improve your zoom, not necessarily your picture quality.

The BrickEssential TV ammunition, The Brick is an astonishingly realistic looking house-brick made of foam. The box is nowadays so riddled with complete and utter tosh that it’s almost impossible to watch it for long without wanting to throw something at it. Well now you can lob a very satisfying brick at all those asinine creatures strutting about on your screen. Of course it’s also immense fun to chuck it at friends, family, work colleagues and the neighbour’s windows - just to watch their screaming reaction before the brick bounces harmlessly off them. Vent your frustrations and have a damn good laugh at the same time.
Features

• A scarily realistic-looking foam brick.
• Terracotta (for this we mean brick) coloured.
• Suitable for ages 8 years+.
• Size: 21 x 10 x 6cm

You can have this for £9.99 - Approx USD $17.98 / €14.79

Last year we saw N99 in a QWERTY avatar, bulky as hell. A year on and the concept seems to have gone under some serious work, which has frankly left me bamboozled. It seems that N99 paid a visit to a surgeon and got itself a mean and lean makeover. The concept has resurfaced in a shiny black form and plainly stated looks far better off.

As far as the specs are concerned, there’s the 8 MP camera, 16 GB of internal memory, a 3.2-inch display and GPS. Add to that a support for Mp3, DivX, MPEG, AVI, and to top everything off WiFi; now, there’s a mouth-watering proposition. That out of the way, the mystery behind the QWERTY keypad vs the D-pad still remains. Hopefully, that’ll be cleared soon enough. Lean black machine over the too common QWERTY device, any goddamn day!

Google Docs proved (at least for me and others I know) that for a significant portion of what we use office productivity software is relatively simple and does not usually require full-blown, feature rich suites like MS Office, or OpenOffice. While I found that using GD was not an issue as I regularly have high-speed Internet access (@ work and @ home), it did lack what the other suites provided which was offline use (like say when I’m on a plane or at an airport refusing to pay $12 for 24 hours of Internet access).

Now get ready for Offline Google Docs. All you will need to do is download and install a browser plugin called Google Gears, which already has me wondering what other applications Google has in mind for your browser. For now, Offline GD only works with the word processing app and only in English, but stay tuned. The others will be coming soon. Here’s a video of it in action.

Welcome to the Ducati of USB sticks… from Ducati. With a fast, 20MB/second transfer rate and a large 4GB capacity, this flash drive has the speed and capacity to work for most people.

So why so expensive? The flash drive was designed in an industrial look echoing “the performance, colors and lines of a Ducati MotoGP motorcycle.” I’m sure someone will buy it, but I can get a 500GB drive that would be faster (and much bigger) for about the same price!

Gimmie!

Suggested Price: $124.95

Not too long ago, we gave you loyal Cloudbook owners a chance to voice your opinion on how you’d change things. Fast forward a few weeks, and take a gander at what Everex has put together. Debuting today at CTIA 2008, the Cloudbook MAX not only boasts an 8.9-inch WVGA (1,024 x 600) display, Windows Vista, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated GPS receiver, 2-megapixel webcam and a battery good for four hours, but it also features an 80GB HDD, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, audio in / out and an S-Video output. Beyond all that, this thing gets energized by a 1.6GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor coupled with the VX800 digital media IGP chipset, which touts full DirectX 9 support and video acceleration for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9, VC1 and DivX video formats (plus a VMR-capable HD video processor, among other things). Lastly, the unit includes built-in support for Sprint’s XOHM WiMAX network. Brimming with excitement yet? Start stocking that piggy bank — this currently unpriced rig will be available in the latter half of this year across North America.

Damn, Everex clearly stepped up their game with the Cloudbook MAX. Not that we want to harsh on the original Cloudbook or anything, but this thing is definitely in a different class — and the integrated XOHM WiMAX doesn’t hurt, either. Check out some hands-on shots taken at CTIA below.
