May 4, 2010 Author: stephen chip | Filed under: Accessories, Apps, Gadget, Gift Idea, Toys, iPad

So you were the early adopter who stood in line for hours to get your hands on a new iPad. You probably downloaded tons of apps for your latest gadget. Maybe even bragged about the battery life. Now it’s time to get the next hottest iPad accessory. From Thinkgeek.com, comes the iPad Arcade Cabinet. Simply slide your iPad and presto, you have a table top classic arcade game ready to go. It retails for $149.00.

Some features:

  • Beautifully retro styled, handcrafted wooden tabletop arcade cabinet and MAME emulator for your otherwise useless iPad
  • Hundreds of games available from various online sources – not included in product!
  • Professional grade arcade stick and microswitch buttons rated for 10,000,000 uses
  • Authentic arcade controls connect to your iPad via a standard 30 pin dock connector
  • One and two player select buttons add authenticity and really work!

So get ready to trip down memory lane with Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Qbert, Donkey Kong and hundreds of others. Get one at Thinkgeek.com

Four years of research and development went into building the Parrot AR Drone quadricopter. The AR Drone generates it’s own WiFi network which allows an iPhone or iTouch to connect and uses the built in accelerometer for control. It also features two onboard cameras which can viewed on your iPhone.

There is an autopilot feature which allows easy take offs and landings. The first question I had was “What happens if WiFi signal is lost?” In the event the WiFi signal is lost – part of the autopilot feature – the AR Drone will take over and stabilize and land the craft safely. Because it’s powered by Lithium-ion Polymer batteries, the AR Drone can fly for roughly 15 minutes.

Urban Collectables

Urban Collectable

These are truly urban collectibles. Featured above is the “Petrol Bombed Jeep.”

What says urban better than a burned out car. The graffiti backgrounds really add a touch of realism. You can almost smell the molten metal. It sort of reminds me of when I lived in Detroit. I haven’t lived there for over 15 years but I can only imagine that it hasn’t gotten any better.

See the rest here at Chinnychinchin There are five cars total in the set.
