360 Degrees Of Separation

Next time you run into Sean Penn on the street you’ll be prepared. You don’t actually have to aim this camera at him to get the shot your lawyer needs to press charges for that night club deal gone awry. Simply snap a picture with the Tamaggo 360-imager ($200) and the pano-shooting camera with a 14 MP sensor and a 360-degree zero-to-infinity lens will capture the entire scene. The picture, or more accurately called a Tamaggraph, can be rotated in a complete circle and even up toward the sky or ground, depending on the angle of the lens. The imager is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and features a two-inch diagonal LCD touchscreen, mini USB port, and built in Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities. Paparazzi might consider this a second lease on Sean’s private life. An inconspicuous shot with this baby won’t leave them in traction.

Retro Revival

Ever since your nephew beat you in Wii bowling (everyone knows bowling is for losers), your Super Mario Kart credentials have come up for debate. No need to rummage up a SNES to prove your old school skills. Plug a Retrode ($86.00) into your iPhone, laptop, or tablet, download an emulator and pop in your old game cart to reclaim your power-sliding, speed-boosting, and mushroom-popping glory. The USB Retrode also has two ports for either Sega or Nintendo controllers so that you can school that little grommet with a mad combination of left, right, A, B, X, Y. Won’t take more than a few laps before he’s begging your sister to take him home. BUY

Everything In Its Right Place

As your Feng Shui Master Yin Pun has instructed you, life flows more smoothly when everything in its right place, from your bed to your balcony to your full-length funhouse mirror. In that spirit, you should be able to place your iPad exactly where you want it to be. The BookArc ($34.00) for iPad helps you do just that. Its handsome stand is made of heavy gauge steel, with a soft silicone, reversible inset that allows you to hold your iPad in four different positions: both portrait and landscape mode can be placed in “work mode,” aka at a 75-degree reclined angle, or upright in “storage mode,” which comes in handy if you want to use it as a photo frame or to watch streaming video. All four positions allow you to charge, and even turn your iPad into a work station with the simple addition of a wireless keyboard. Now, if you could only figure out where to put that damn velvet Parisian Love Seat.

Got Juice?

No, we don’t mean “juice” as in street cred (though anyone from Bogota to Belarus would vouch for you), or “juice” as in steroids (though Snooki would probably love it if you did). We mean juice as in power for what’s important, like keeping your iPhone or iPod pepped up and ready to go. The Mophie Juice Pack Reserve ($35.00) is a brilliant little backup device that gives your iStuff extended battery life. It’s an advanced battery cell that allows for ultra fast charging—twice the current as traditional 500mAh batteries. Mophie is lightweight, compact, and even doubles as a keyring so you never accidentally leave home without it. Good thing, since Snooki hates it when you don’t answer her texts right away.

Take Charge

With friends in every time zone, your cell never stops blowin’ up. It’s tough to find a phone with enough endurance to meet that kind of demand. Now, you can rely on a battery instead. The Mophie Juice Pack Air ($60.00) houses a rechargeable battery inside an ultra-thin iPhone4 case. The extra “juice” doubles your talking, surfing, and music listening time while keeping your phone protected. Your Russian dolls and British birds will all appreciate that.
