Switchital Clock

The Switchital clock is a digital alarm clock that shows you the time through magnets which switch their places every minute. It was designed by Matthias Pugin. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere to buy this.

Soccer Ball Remote

If you're always throwing the tv or dvd remote around then you'll want this. It's a remote shaped like a soccer ball. Unfortunately I can't find any information of who invented it. Right now it's out of stock but here's the link to buy it if they get more of them:

Flying Alarm Clock

A few years ago a Japanese company made a clock called the Flying Alarm Clock. When the alarm goes off the propeller on top flies off and the clock won't stop beeping until you find the propeller and put it back onto the clock. You can buy one here:

In 2001 a company called Gyration made a motion sensing controller prototype for Nintendo. Nintendo wanted them to make a one handed controller and this is what they came up with.

Vii

In 2007 the Wii came out. Around the same time a console in China came out called the Vii. It was made by Junglesoft. Unlike the Wii it doesn't have very many games. All the games on it are copies of other games with different titles. If you understand Chinese you can buy one here:

I was also able to find the commercial they show for this in China. Unfortunately I could only find one with fake english subtitles.
