The BenQ MusiQ dog tag MP3 player will be available in 512MB and 1GB capacities. What makes this MP3 player special is that its earphones are incorporated into a matching chain to complete the militaristic illusion and has a built-in microSD card slot. This BenQ MusiQ dog tag MP3 player will be launched on December 4th, 2006. The 512MB player will retail for about US$88. BenQ will also be throwing in limited edition gift sets (metal bracelet and carrying case) at random and on a first-come-first-served basis, which is a bit of a contradiction. Pricing for the 1GB player has not been released. Check out for some additional pics after the jump!

The Philips DCM 270 is one large beast of an iPod dock. There hasn’t been much talk about the dock but what we do know for sure is that it provides with playback of CDs and also serves as an iPod and GoGear docking system. It also appears to be fairly thin and likely has a few woofers per channel. There is no word yet on pricing and availability.

Guys from Extreme Geek built a very high powered flashlight, that capable of lighting things on fire, roasting marshmallows, or blinding your would-be attacker. The flashlight is actually using an Osram HLX 64623 12V bulb which is being overdriven to 14+V, to about 140 watts, with an estimated light output of about 4000 lumens. Hmm…. I want one for my survival pack! Watch the video to see what its like!

Here is an innovative toaster concept that lets you slide your breakfast breads right through instead of having it pops up. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on whether this concept will go into mass production or not. I think this toaster is like a paper shredder. So, what do you think?

The Ricoh Caplio R5 is a 7.24MP CCD camera, which boasts a large 2.5-inch LCD display, “Smooth Imaging Engine II”, 26MB of internal memory, an SD/MMC card slot, and a powerful 7.1x optical wide zoom lens. The camera measures only 96mm x 55mm x 26mm and is capable of taking up to 380 shots on a single charge. TrustedReviews has a deep review of this camera. Here the bottom line:
Ricoh proves once again that it can match and often exceed anything its rivals can produce. The Caplio R5 has a unique specification, combining wide angle and long telephoto abilities, effective image stabilisation and a usable high ISO setting, with good image quality and outstanding performance. Its only weak point is its poor low light focusing ability.

You should consider this Breakfast-Art Image Toaster for your Christmas gift! It looks like any old toaster you could get as a wedding present, but this one draws things on your toast! This toaster allows the kids (or the kid in all of us) to actually have fun with breakfast! Using fun image plates, it leaves one of four playful heat imprints—a smiley face, birthday cake, sunshine or coffee cup—right on your piece of toast!
While the toaster has no awesome qualities, other than the imprints, it still costs US$60 and currently available at Brookstone.
