The rig works with TVs that range between 30- and 42-inches, attaches to an existing frame or can even just chill with your TV on a stand. Available in Europe only for now, it costs a somewhat lofty $500.

My only question is one related to vibration. By placing the subwoofer directly behind the TV and against the wall/frame that supports it, will there be any visible vibration on the screen as you watch Kirk and company blast Nero into subspace? I ask because a similar thing happens to my rearview mirror when I blast my pop music at high decibels in the coche. [Q Acoustic via Red Ferret via DVICE]

Our Nano reviewer had pretty steady hands when filming footage, but for those that get the shakes the Kickster should help. I also presume it will make shooting with one hand easier. And honestly, if I watch a video on my iPod Touch I always like to prop it up with something; this case takes care of that with its swivel mechanism that lets you kick the stand up vertically or horizontally.

The Kickster was designed by the open-sourcers at Quirky so the profits of the $14.95 case will be split amongst designers. Kinda sucks that they don't know if it will fit the fourth generation Nano, but I'm assuming it does. [Quirky Kickster]

While the base bobblehading service runs $89, you can add on all sorts of extras. $5 buys you a painted name, or $15 adds a voice recorder to the mix. Plus, for the extremely narcissistic, a second, identical bobblehead can be ordered for $50.

In case you're actually considering it as a gift, give yourself lots of lead time. Orders fulfilled within 15 days cost a premium, so procrastination will make you pay. After all, you just can't rush art. [Custom Bobble]

The Price: $45

The Verdict: We've been fans of Kangaroom's organizational kits for a while now, and this bamboo laptop stand continues their tradition of quality organizational products with a gadgety tint. In this case, this product design combines four good concepts into one useful device.

• Laptop stands = useful
• Things made out of bamboo = fun for eco-fetishists and pandas
• Gadget charger dock = good times for gadget-heads
• Ventilated middle = keeps your laptop cool

And all of those features in a sturdily constructed shape means we'd gladly pay the $45 for one of these. It even feels nice when you take it off a desk and put it on your lap, giving a nice bamboo barrier between a hot laptop and your fleshy (uncharred) thighs.

The night of Logitech laptop goodies continues, with two very different stands. One, the Alto Express, is sleek and ergonomic, and looks a little, um, analog for the $50 it's going to cost when it ships next month. Thankfully those Swiss engineers at Logitech furnished us with a rationale for coughing up dough, in the form of a diagram:

The more robust Alto Connect, on the other hand, looks well worth its $80 price tag, as a USB hub and cord wrangler, in addition to being your spine-straightening friend. Jump for fact sheets plus a gallery of sexy shots—if you look close, you can see every orifice jack on the Connect's two-piece body.

Logitech Alto™ Connect Notebook Stand Plus 4-Port USB Hub

Improve your notebook comfort and connectivity
Announcement Date: June 20, 2007 Shipping: July 2007
Price: $79.99 Available at: www.logitech.com

Product Description
The Logitech Alto Connect notebook stand encourages comfortable posture and provides people with a powered, four-port USB hub. When a laptop is placed on the stand and a full-size keyboard and mouse are placed in front of the stand, people can sit up and view their notebook display at the optimal viewing height and distance. For added convenience, one of the USB ports is located at the front of the stand for easy access when plugging in a device such as an MP3 player or USB flash drive. A cable-management system and a cavern for storing the USB cable when not in use reduce cord chaos. To set up the stand, the user simply crosses two leg-like parts across each other and rests the laptop on top of the X-shape design. Rubber bumpers help ensure that the laptop is secure while embedded Teflon-like feet make it easy to slide across the surface to move the stand to the desired position. When it's time to put the laptop away, the user can simply unhook the two Alto Connect pieces and store them in a drawer.

Eventually a man's remote will control everything, until then, he'll need to settle for a TV stand. The Chrome Robots TV Stand can raise your TV 30cm with the touch of a button, or change its viewing angle up to 45 degrees. Other hi-tech features include a digital lighted watch with time, date, chronometer and alarm.

Chronometer with date and time? Seriously? Is this needed for anyone who watches TV? Most cable boxes auto configure with the proper date and time...and also manage to display the information pretty well...just like my VCR (gasp). We understand that Izyasam TV Stands Factory (Turkey) wants to stand out (no pun intended), but adding a clock randomly to something doesn't inflate its value. In fact, because the ploy is so cheap and 80's in nature, the whole idea stinks Wal-mart exclusive. And as for the adjustable viewing angle, most people who can afford to drop big bucks on an entertainment center can afford a TV that you can already actually see. But don't let me stop you from buying it. – Mark Wilson

Made of premium aircraft-grade aluminum, the DV Base is an iPod stand worthy of the most discriminate Podhead. Intended to be cherished as a family heirloom for centuries (or as long as your iPod s battery lasts or screen doesn t scratch off), this stand is a perfect way to make your iPod feel more secure on your desk next to your other (less fetishistic) technological detritus. In fact, the DV Base s creator even calls the stand a work of art . Despite its ultra smooth finish, the stand also comes with a rubber base to avoid scratching your desk while you work. It also doubles as a heat sink for those summer days when your iPod gets toasty enough to fry eggs.
