Easy Grip Helps You Secure Those Slippery Books
If I read actual books, this Easy Grip would fit right in with my active lifestyle. Its secure one-handed grip technology keeps the book in place while simultaneously marking the open page. That means I am free to read while jogging, driving or arm wrestling. Thanks crazy Korean manufacturers! Available for 9500 Won or around $9.70 US. Additional image after the break. More »

Despite the supposedly game-changing motion controls that the Wii brings to gaming, a good portion of AAA games use the Wiimote in the more traditional controller sense. How do you make the one-handed controller more comfortable for two handed play? By shoving it inside a body that adds an "analog" stick and two DualShock-like grips. And when you're done making Snake do sexy things to Samus, it comes off for easy storage. [Cyber Gadget via Impress via Nintendo Wii Fanboy]

Japanese Oral Grip Machine Tortures, Improves Smiles
The Japanese are not unfamiliar with using gadgets to improve their appearance, but this Oral Grip Machine just looks and sounds too painful to be used while not inundated with sake. It's a couple pieces of plastic you shove in your mouth to work your oral muscles out with for four minutes at a time, three times a day. Now, we've seen plenty of Japanese people, and their smiles being sub-par is probably pretty far down the list of things I thought about. However, maybe this is less for smiles, and more for the Japanese adult industry where oral strength is a trait much sought after (at least in the videos we've glanced at). [Patakara via Tokyo Mango]

Novint's Falcon 3D Haptic Joystick has been around for awhile now, but it has just received an upgrade in the form of a black version and an optional pistol grip accessory for FPS gaming. At $19.99, the grip is a little more expensive than the $4 price tag they hinted at last May, but if you are already paying $199 for the black Falcon, what is another $15? [Novint via i4u]

The PSP is nice enough to hold, especially compared to the boxy DS Lite, but wouldn't it be better if it were even nicer? Like, Dualshock/Sixaxis nice? Now you can get this Flexible Hand Grip Advance Pad and make that dream come true. Sure, the bulk added doesn't really justify the slight comfort improvement from the grips, but if you've got huge man hands that cramp up with a little portable, this is totally worth it.
