SSDs seem to be all the rage these days, especially when notebooks are getting smaller and lighter than ever before, requiring something which will shrink in size equally to keep up with the times. Among the advantages SSDs have over regular hard drives would be its quietness as well as speed, and with no moving parts to worry about, you also lower the risk of having it die on you when you’re on the road during a particularly bumpy ride. G.

Skill has rolled out its Phoenix SATA II 2.5” Solid State Drive recently that features the latest ultra-high performance SandForce SF-1200 controller, capable of offering 280MB/s and 270MB/s of read and write speeds, respectively, coming in 50GB, 100GB and 200GB denominations. No idea on pricing or availability, but you will get a 2-year warranty with each purchase. Have you jumped aboard the SSD bandwagon just yet?

Love capturing photos of others discreetly? Then why not do it with the MINOX Digital Spy Cam DSC Silver, which is the next generation of spy cameras that has taken on a digital slant. Coming in a silver metal finish, you get a 1.5? display to preview shots that you have taken, while storing images on a microSD memory card slot (up to 16GB worth).

Capable of shooting 5.1-megapixel photos, this spy camera is also equipped with an external flash module when the situation calls for it. Not only that, it also lets you capture images of important and sensitive documents from as near as 19.5?, and as you can see above, it is small enough without calling attention to it whenever you call it into action. This could be your starting point of a new gossip blog, eh?

Alright, so it’s not a solar portable iPod speaker kit. Which means it might have slightly less appeal for the younger ones that are heavily attached to their MP3 player of choice. However, for those that just love to build and use what they’ve built on a regular basis this little kit would be fun. Plus this FM radio won’t require you to constantly replace batteries.

This kit includes 16 different pieces that you’ll have to put together to get your favorite tunes on your solar powered FM radio. In addition to all of those little bits and pieces you’ll get a AA battery. Now that battery won’t be used all of the time, you can choose to run on either the panel or the battery. The radio itself doesn’t exactly look modern, but the best part is getting to put it all together. You can purchase the kit for £14.95 or about $22.

If you do not have the ability to purchase a vacuum cleaner and still rely on good old hand power using a broom, why not settle for the most efficient broom possible? That is now available in the form of the Broom Groomer, where it comes with a row of rubber teeth protruding from the back end of the dust pan to clean the broom’s bristles when you’re done sweeping, doing away with dust bunnies for good. Apart from that, there is a built-in foot rest at the dustpan handle, letting you steady the dustpan for hands-free sweeping. The body of the Broom Groomer itself is made out of hard, durable plastic, featuring rubber accents on the handle grip, wall-hanging hole, bristle cleaning teeth, and front edge guard. It costs just $9.99 at the moment, making it a suitable Mother’s Day gift, perhaps?
