If you’re like me, you’ve at some point wondered why nobody thought to include “standard” electrical outlets in your car. The bad news is that there’s no solid answer to this question. The good news is that someone out there with more technical knowledge (and motivation) has decided to do something about it.

Calling it the Coffee Cup Inverter, this conveniently shaped power source coverts your car's DC power into two 120-volt AC outlets just like on your walls at home.
Perhaps even more clever is the fact that it’s shaped just a like a cup of java from your favorite drive-thru window so as to fit nicely in your car’s cup holder.

Perfect for powering or charging portable game consoles, cell phones, and iPods or even to plug in and watch television during the camping trip. It also has a USB charging port providing 500mA.

It sells for around $29 and the only question that remains is. Why didn’t I think of that?

Verizon Releases $100 Android Handset Title: Verizon Releases $100 Android Handset
PermaLink: http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/verizon_releases_100_android_handset.php

In effort to boost publicity of the Android platform, Verizon Wireless plans to sell the HTC Droid Eris, a Google Android equipped wireless device, today for $100.

The Droid Eris is nearly identical to HTC's Hero smartphone, which Sprint is currently selling for $180. In fact the Droid Eris actually runs on HTC's Sense interface (seven-panel home screen with customizable widgets).

Users can access text messages, emails and call history and even Facebook updates from a single contact card.

Additionally the unit features a 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen, GPS, digital compass, gravity-sensor, 3.5mm stereo headset jack, a 5.0-megapixel auto-focus camera and expandable microSD memory.

The handset joins Verizon's list of Android-equipped devices (such as the highly-anticipated Motorola Droid, which just so happened to go on sale the same day) but can boast being the most-affordable.

Verizon’s highly-anticipated answer to the iPhone is set to go on sale this week for $200.

This new handset, called the Motorola Droid, will run Google's Android 2.0 operating system, offering a new mapping application that has voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, satellite imagery and high-resolution photos of the streets.

The free program (called Google Maps Navigation) looks to threaten dedicated GPS devices from the likes of TomTom and Garmin.

Additional features include a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, large 3.7-inch touch screen display, high-speed Internet with Flash support and a 5.0-megapixel camera with DVD-quality video recorder.

Verizon says the Motorola Droid will go on sale for $200 with a two-year contract beginning November 6.
