Ever want to watch TV out in your yard? Steward Filmscreen’s Starglas offers a solution that will turn some heads and increase your popularity indeed.

The Starglas Rear Projection TV is based on a screen lamination layer between two pieces of glass, which means it’s basically a window that has a television in the middle.

The screen includes some very nice features that may go unnoticed however, such as the anti-reflective coating which helps improve visibility of the picture outdoors, and the fact that you can clean it like a normal glass window. The Starglas Rear Project Television also fits most outdoor safety specifications (withstanding sun and water) so you are able to install it pretty much anywhere.

Retailed at $4,395.00, it is not bad a price for a 100″ screen inch TV.

With the rumored extinction of Compact Discs through the competition posed by MP3 players and other media sources, it’s no wonder why CD player manufacturers are starting to find new ways to make CDs and CD players more unique. YankoDesign has discovered one way to stir up consumers interest with the Square CD.

Designed in Italy, the Square CD is a touchscreen controlled CD player that is made to incorporate into the design of your house, acting as part of the decor. It blends in with your house design with its unique Corian surface (normally suited to kitchen counter tops), giving it a nice simplistic touch. When turned on, you are welcomed with a beautiful glowing screened play, stop and eject buttons.

The Square CD is not released as yet, but is rumored to cost well over $1,000 mark.

Designer Jinseup Shin has designed the Plug and Enjoy speaker system, a small electronic device that fits into your power outlet and receives an FM signal from your portable music player. It is basically compatible with an iPod, cell phone, cd player or any device equipped with an FM transmitter.

Using it is simple: plug it into your outlet, turn the front to locate the signal, and adjust the volume once the signal is received.

Seems like it is just a prototype right now but certainly a handy gadget to have around. Plug your speakers around the room and you’ll have surround sound speakers without the bulk and expensive cost.

It seems as if everyone wants a MP3 player these day, even small children. However, due to the fragile nature of most DAPs, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend buying your 3-year-old an iPod for his next birthday. I’m just happy to see that Creative and Playskool have not overlooked an area that could be capitalized upon (or is Creative still mad about the whole we-don’t-have-the-market-share-the-iPod-does thing? Maybe…).

For the doting parent, here’s the perfect gift for your gadget-addicted toddler, the Made for Me line of MP3 players. Soft, cuddly, and preloaded with 50 songs, these are sure to be a hit with the kiddies come this fall.

This fall? You mean just in time for the Christmas shopping season? Isn’t that ironic?

The players will reportedly retail for around $80, so I’m still not quite sure that I’d drop this thing into the hands of a toddler. We all know how destructive they can be, chewing and tossing toys around. I can foresee hours of adult supervision while the kids are banging this fuzzy little MP3 player around. So much for giving them a toy to keep them occupied. Oh well, such is life.
