    We’ve all seen the gear that you’re supposed to be able to talk to before, but what we don’t often see is a device where it works. Well the Moshi not only works, but works well. At the time of testing, it was in a noisy store on a Saturday night, and yet when the clock heard it’s name it lit up and said hello. Simply say “Hello Moshi” followed by one of the pre programed commands and the clock tells you the time, lets you set the time, lets you set the alarm, tells you room temp  and more. The best part is, this clock won’t cost you much more then a normal alarm, coming in at $49.95, this would even make a great gift if you’re on a budget. Very Cool. NC

    Porsche Design (yeah those guys) has created, without any doubt, one of the coolest phones out there. The P’9521, made out of a solid block of aluminum billet. From its blacked out mineral glass, to its 3.2 mega-pixel camera, everything about this phones screams cool. Complete with a full touch screen display and fingerprint reader, this is also smart design. With a $1,600 price tag, this phone may be aimed at the elite, but it’s the geeks and tech addicts that are gonna go nuts for this one. Porsche has once again made something for the world to aspire too, and the rest of us to get a loan for. NC
