Laptop Pillow

The Napbook is basically a laptop pillow that’s “perfect for on-the-go people needing to catch a quick nap here or there.” Click here for one more picture.

These are currently only sold in a remote Apple Store in Iceland. The good news is that the designer is already working on getting his bags mass-produced so that the rest of us can purchase them.

Map Editor

The Far Cry 2 map editor features “thousands of objects found in the single player game including vehicles, buildings, bridges and more — objects in the player made maps are already inside the game.” Video after the break.

This means that uploading and downloading maps will be quick and easy. It was announced at the GC 2008 that there will be a memory space limit for each map.

Pod Bike

The Pod Bike is essentially “a concept that has an iPod-compatible charger powered by yourself.” Plus, it has integrated handlebar controls. Click here for first picture in gallery.

On one side, the bike-dock combo is just way too much. On the other, it may be actually useful for those days that you forget to charge it at home.

Robot Lamp

This nifty robot lamp is basically “a lighting system whose shape and therefore light output sensitively varies inversely with the surrounding natural light intensity.” Click here for first picture in gallery.

For example, at dusk, illumination gradually increases as natural light recedes. At the heart of this device is a very special 3 axis gear box which enables this subtle alteration of lighting through an attractive and striking change in form.

Jetboil

The Jetboil personal cooking system from ThinkGeek “can be used to make hot beverages, noodles, pasta, dehydrated hiking meals, soups and, of course, a nice cup of coffee (using the optional Coffee Press accessory).” Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Capable of boiling two cups in two minutes at 75-80% efficiency, the PCS is twice as fast and uses half as much fuel as conventional stoves. The PCS boils up to 50 cups (12 liters) of water from only one isobutane/propane micro-canister.

Combat Flight Simulator

The $9,500 SX02 Combat Flight Simulator sports a “centrally mounted joystick, a tension adjustable throttle and a digital programmable readout.” Click here for first picture in gallery.

Not just for the hefty pricing, it has certain traits which haven’t been spoken of before. Surround sound is a regular feature with top simulators but only a few come with surround screens to keep you absolutely engrossed.
