Olympics gadgets: Beijing here I come!



Check out these cool gadgets to take before you go to Beijing.

1)R/C drinks cooler
This combination of radio-controlled tech and alcohol allows you to stack a pile of beer without ever leaving your seat.Though, once the cooler becomes empty there is no other option but to go to the fridge and refill it.




2)Swiss Propeller Fan


Merely watching someone run a hurdles or a sprint can trigger ur sweat glands. This small fan, which doubles as a film noir prop, cools you down and runs noiselessly even when on the highest power setting.




3)Olympus Mju 1030SW

Now capture your adventures with this tough snapper. Waterproof to 10m, shockproof, freezeproof and crushproof, this camera goes wherever you do, below the water or above it. And dont think that the tough attribute is going to compromise the image quality. Definitely a medal contender.




4)
The GTi seascooter can speed up to a mighty 2.5mph/4kmh. The run time is a long 2 hours - considerably longer than the period you can hold your breath for.And additional bonus - work down to a 100ft/30m depth. Of course, you are never gonna attain such great depths. But remember to hold on to the handle bars and point it upwards.



5)Mobile Signal Jammer

You are on the verge of an important event and then to your disappointment you find the person next to you yelling on his phone. Buy a Mobile Phone Jammer from the local markets of China. Though the gadget may be illegal in your home country and there may be legal implications(it might also be illegal to take this on an airplane), it is a very handy tool when it comes to tackle annoying people. It can jam GSM, CDMA, and PHS signals in a zone of about 10 meters.

6)Finis SwiMP3

The SwiMP3, an underwater mp3 player uses bone conduction - the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear - to provide the swimmer with amazing sound clarity. The drawback is that it has got only 256MB of storage.Guess, you got to be a sprint swimmer than a long distance one.
