Photosynthesis Lamp
Meirav Barzilay is a designer from Tel Aviv who has a new product called Photosynthesis Lamp. It’s a lamp made of a metal grid with a vine at its base. Bringing both light and nature into your home, you choose the type of vine and let the plant become the lampshade, creating a unique light pattern and brightness for you. (at Design Milk)
SFQ-01 Bluetooth Audio System

LaCie Stark Mobile 500GB USB 3.0 HD
External hard drives do not have to be stale and fake. They can look just as good as they perform and the latest from LaCie fits the profile nicely. The LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 seems at first like every other external on the market, but then slowly you start to appricate the less is more design. Inside the 2mm aluminum casing is a 500GB hard drive and USB 3.0 connectivity. (at CrunchGear)
Sennheisser's Adidas Headphones
First audio company Sennheiser partnered with Adidas for a line of sweat-proof sports headphones; now its expanding the partnership with a great-looking pair of DJ headphones. Built on the Sennheiser HD 25-1-II, the Adidas version features its own unique styling. This headphone was launched in Europe earlier this year, but is only now coming to the United States. Look for it in Adidas Originals stores and exclusive consumer electronics stores under the name Adidas Originals HD-25-1-II headphones by Sennheiser. (at Gearlog)
Axsotic 3D mouse
The quixotic quest for the perfect 3D mouse has a long and storied history, but the German-built "Axsotic" 3D-Spheric-Mouse looks like a pretty good attempt. Axsotic tracks a 40mm ball, which can be twisted, pushed, pulled, lifted, and so forth inside its patent pending, sensor-laden cage. Optical tracking watches for rotation in three axis, while magnets track zoom and pan in three axis of their own. The design gives complete camera control in a 3D app to one hand, while your other hand is free to operate a mouse or other pointing device to actually interact with the 3D object in question. Axsotic actually works driver-free on Mac and Windows, and a plugin is available for popular 3D softwares. No word yet on price or availability. (at Engadget)
Lenovo's IdeaPad
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 is said to be thinner and lighter than the average 15-inch entertainment laptop. It features chiclet keyboard, Dolby Advanced audio, new 2010 Intel Core CPU, optional discrete NVIDIA GeForce graphics and more. Standard is Windows 7, Bluetooth, WiFi and webcam. (at OhGizmo!)
