Recap: This Week's Gadgets from Gizmos for Geeks
Lots of gadgets featured this past week on Gizmos for Geeks. First off, the Five Device Recharging Station is an all-in-one charging device that can simultaneously refresh the battery level of your iPod, Treo, Blackberry, and all other mobile devices. The folks in your household don't have to take turns any more to charge their mobile phones and MP3 players. If ever you want to turn your old photographs into digital images instantly, just get the Photograph to Digital Picture Converter, and preserve your golden memories shot on film and printed on paper. It is equipped with a 5 Mega pixels CMOS sensor working at a 1800 dpi resolution. Do you need to logon to the Internet fast and easy? Then check your watch for Internet access! The Wi-Fi Detecting Watch will tell you if there's a good wireless signal around. It will also tell you how strong the signal is so you can move closer towards it for better reception. Are you a home theater system addict? Do you love watching movies at home or blasting your music, but you have entirely too many remote controls? Then take a look at the MX-980 Universal Remote Control. It's programmable, including macros that can do multiple things in quick succession at the touch of a button. Its 2.4" LCD color screen alone is pretty drool-inducing.
The Rubik's cube gets a makeover in the form of the Rubik's Revolution. It's more of a game, than the puzzle that's the Rubik's cube, but kids will love it. Green thumbs and gardening addicts must have loved the Thirsty Light feature last week. With this gadget, you'll easily know if you need to water your plants or not. It is especially helpful for indoor gardeners who want to take care of plants at home but don't necessarily have enough time for it.
Some major tech news last week include the the 3rd beta release of Firefox 3, the upcoming release of the animated Star Wars Clone Wars Movie, and a useful entry jam packed with 100 iPhone Applications, Tools, and Guides for all you iPhone users/addicts.

Want
to upgrade the RAM in your

chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
Are

Not Disconnect" won't go away? Don't worry, this is a common

Napster's gone pay, KaZaA is chock-full of viruses and spyware,
