Let's take a spin around the floor and see if there's anything worth putting under that tree. You know there are a lot of devices you can plug into your USB port but only one of them turns into an actual phone jack, literally. And look at everything you get for just twenty bucks a year your own phone number, call waiting, and deluxe caller ID, voice mail, directory assistance, and you can ring up to three phone numbers at once. It's almost too good to be true.

>> It is true.

>> It is true, this is Dan he's the inventor of the magic jack.

>> Just pick a phone number, you get it within seconds then the next thing you know you hear the dial tone, free local, free long distance.

>> This is Nickelodeon's empower which is a new line with Nickelodeon animation it's a complete consumer electronics line; it features digital imaging, multi media products, and consumer electronics products. This is our Spongebob flash USB camera that you just click off Spongebob's shorts and you can upload your pictures directly to your computer.

It's really simple it just hooks up to your TV using AV ports and takes a double A battery.

This is from Blue Ant wireless, you can pair it up with your cellphone and make calls easily from inside the helmet or you can get a second one, put it on a buddy or a wife, on another bike, or on the same bike and intercom to each other over blue tooth up to 500 feet.

Not only is it a wireless blue tooth mouse but it's also a presentation tool with my little favorite, laser beam, then in the future it's going to become your cellphone, voice over IT of course.
