Want to gift your girl friend something unique? How about a laptop that's got a tiger skin, or a leather print? The Tulip E-go is the perhaps the first of it's kind with completely interchangable skins, which can be switched as and when you feel like or to suit an ocassion - some what like cellphone skins.
The E-go's features a Mobile AMD Turion 64 processor, Microsoft Windows XP Mediacenter, ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M graphics, 80 GB hard disk, 4-in-1 card reader supporting SD, MMC, MS, and MS-Duo, front loading DVD+-RW player, 1 GB memory, Bluetooth, 802.11 abg Wi-fi and a 12.1" WXGA screen with 1280x800 resolution. The battery life is a claimed 3.5 hours and it weighs 2.6 Kgs with the battery. The skins come in leather, alcantara (what's that?), spray painted plastics and in a wide array of prints from zebra to leopards, of if you like you can even order a customized skin. The basic model is priced at Euro 3,975 and is available from the Tuilp E-go webstore.
RC Golf Incred-a-Ball, is a regular looking golf ball with a small change; it's remote controlled. The ball has a little spinning gyro in it, and when you activate it from the remote it spins off in random directions. The acceleration varies depending on the ground, and due to its small size it obviously works best on smoother surfaces such as green and tees. All you have to do is make sure you've completely charged the golf ball in its neat little charging cradle, switch on the transmitter, and select the frequency band shown on the ball. Push or pull back the control shaft on the transmitter to drive or vibrate your golf ball and wait for the inevitable laughs. Utterly daft, and it'll probably even improve your handicap.
