The only thing that the Total Blender has not handled yet is a crowbar, but that does not stop Will It Blend from being a very entertaining toy-destroying extravaganza.

Cisco has started a large campaign to put video phones into hospitals. What is so special about these video phones though, is that they have a direct button that calls Santa Claus.

To bypass this problem and restore a little more functionality to the Shuffle, Incipio has developed an adaptor that lets you plug it straight into your PC without the need for a dock, retailing for under $6.

It can be purchased for $5.99 (plus P+P) here.
