Do you brush your teeth? Then I have just the thing for you: a toothbrush! But seriously, OHSO’s pocket toothbrush is not only stylish, it’s also very practical. The most notable feature of this toothbrush is that it can carry toothpaste in its handle. All you have to do is turn the handle’s knob and toothpaste comes out! Tilt down and the paste goes to the bristles…

While it certainly isn’t the most sophisticated robot out there, this kit from Japan is possibly the least expensive bipedal robot I’ve seen.
The Co-Robot keeps it on the cheap by using just a single motor and a wobbly gear-drive system to help it amble along. Now don’t expect the type of smooth walking moves of Honda’s ASIMO here…

In a show of sheer over-the-top ridiculosity, French accessory designer Louis Vuitton created this decked-out iPod carrying case for German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.
