Palm Pre

Palm just got back in the game. Big time. The Palm Pre ($TBA) is a svelte new smartphone that runs Palm's all-new, touch-based webOS mobile platform. The Pre boasts a 3.1-inch touch screen with a gesture area below, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 8GB of storage, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS, and a 3-megapixel camera with LED flash. The Pre, initially available only from Sprint, also brings a little future with it when it ships in the first half of 2009. The Palm phone will be sold alongside the Touchstone, an inductive charging dock that lets you charge up wirelessly just by laying the Pre on top of it.

Pocket Grappling Hook

Originally designed to handle detonation and trip wires, and straight out of any Batman-wannabe's dream, this Pocket Grappling Hook ($27) is perfect for any mission. The 1"x5.5" water resistant shell holds the hook's spikes when you're on the move, and can be filled with water or sand to add weight for more accurate throws. Forget all that "not certified for life support" stuff — they've been tested at more than 350 lbs., which should be enough to hold all but the biggest of crime-fighters. [Thanks, Paul]

Other features include an Intel Core 2 Quad processor, dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800S small form factor graphics cards in an SLI setup, and hot-swappable 320 GB dual hard drives.

Sony VAIO P

Few things could get us to use the hell that is Windows Vista. But this is one of them.

It sports an 8-inch LED-backlit screen with an extra-wide 1600 x 768 resolution, built-in Verizon Wirless 3G Mobile Broadband, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, built-in webcam, and GPS.

Prairie Organic Vodka

Certified organic and kosher, Prairie Vodka ($25-$45) is thoughtfully distilled from organic yellow corn and crafted in partnership with a co-op of over 900 Minnesota farmers. Besides getting a deliciously smooth drink, you also get the pleasure of knowing it's probably the most eco-friendly item in your home. The fifth-generation owned Phillips Distilling Company take care all the way from the field to the bottle with Prairie. It's packaged in a recyclable glass bottle, packed in a kraft cardboard box made from sustainable forest wood pulp, and uses organic inks on the labels. Even corncobs and other leftovers are converted on-site to biogas energy for powering the stills. It's just about enough to make you drink more.

It sports a weather-resistant high-gloss metallic-painted steel exterior and a corrosion-resistant heavy duty plated steel basket.

Apple 17-Inch Unibody MacBook Pro

Just because you know something's coming doesn't make it any less cool. The new 17-Inch Unibody MacBook Pro ($2,800) features the same rock-solid unibody aluminum construction as its 15- and 13-inch brothers, but features a slew of upgrades, including a 17-inch 1920x1200 LED-backlit display, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 320GB hard drive standard with the option for a 256GB SSD, a Core 2 Duo processor running at speeds of up to 2.93 GHz, and a revolutionary new built-in battery that delivers up to eight hours of use and up to 1,000 recharges for more than three times the lifespan of normal laptop batteries.
