Linc Smartphone Walkie Talkie

Lack of signal. Overcrowded towers. Dead battery. There are plenty of reasons why you might want to have a backup form of communication should your smartphone fail. The Linc Smartphone Walkie Talkie gives you one. Designed to snap onto the back of the Moto Z, it lets you talk at ranges of up to 5 miles, works with non-smartphone walkie talkies, and has a dedicated battery. It also has a retractable antenna, independent volume control, push-to-talk button, and its own speaker, and can be used with the companion app to expand its capabilities.

Rumuki

Making private videos with your lover isn't unusual. Nor is it unusual for your phone to be the most convenient recording device around. Rumuki is a brilliant app that removes all kinds of potential concerns and lets you get down to having fun. First of all, you need to pair it with a copy of the app running on your partner's phone. Record away. When it's time to play it back, you both have to agree to it, and should one party delete their key, it's gone forever. So whether you're worried about being hacked or an ex posting your private bits online, you're covered.

Caavo Streaming TV Box

We get our media from tons of different sources. No one has found a convenient way to manage them all. The Caavo Streaming TV Box claims to have the solution. By refusing to be a platform — the Caavo doesn't run apps, and has no logins — they've managed to support nearly anything you might plug in. As a result, it can let you search for shows on your cable or satellite box, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Xbox, and more, all from a single intuitive interface, and without needing to jump between HDMI inputs on your TV. It's backed by a team of people with experience at places like Sling, Dish, Jawbone, Xbox, and Harman, and will go on a highly-limited pre-sale later this year.

WarmTone Record Pressing Machine

The resurgence of vinyl has led to a big problem: no one's built any pressing machines in decades. Until now. The WarmTone Record Pressing Machine is poised to replace the comparatively ancient machines currently hard at work to satiate our appetite for wax. Fully automated, it uses modern technologies to let operators monitor and control every step of the process, including pressing, trimming, and labelling, on multiple machines at once. Its advanced steam heating and water cooling systems virtually eliminate warps, and cuts pressing timeframes nearly in half, improving quality control at the same time that it increases production.

Brilliant Smart Home Control

Make your light switches do more than just manage illumination with the Brilliant Smart Home Control. Available in models spanning 1-4 switches, each control has a 5-inch touchscreen and Amazon Alexa built-in, letting you control a whole host of products, from the lights to thermostats, door locks, and garage doors. Built-in motion detectors turn the lights on and off automatically, video cameras, mics, and built-in speakers turn multiple units into an intercom, and since installation is as easy as wiring a new switch, you can have one up and running in as little as 5 minutes.

Toast Wooden Playstation 4 Cover

The PS4 is far more than a game console — with an array of streaming apps and a Bluray player, it can be a key part of a home theater setup. That said, it still looks like a console. The Toast Wooden Playstation 4 Cover can make its angular design a little more palatable for mature environs. Available in ash, bamboo, ebony, or walnut finishes, they're cut from single pieces of veneer and attach easily with peel and stick adhesive backing. Made in the USA.

Scoop Advance Movie Screenings

Advance screenings are nothing new in Hollywood. In fact, it's not unusual for a movie to be recut or even go through reshoots based on those initial reactions. Scoop Advance Movie Screenings gives you a chance to give feedback on future releases from the comfort of your own home. Sign up, and you'll be added to their roster of potential viewers. Once you're selected, you'll get a copy of the video to screen, completely unique to you — so don't go sharing it everywhere. It's completely free. All they ask in return is that after you've watched, you fill out a simple form and tell the filmmakers what you thought, which is a small price to pay to get to see a potential blockbuster weeks or even months before the general public.

Ballfinger Reel-To-Reel Tape Player

With a classic design that's as timeless as it is technical, the Ballfinger Reel-To-Reel Tape Player is the ideal tool for enjoying esoteric recordings. The controls on the left-hand side of its hefty aluminum chassis are for playback, while those on the right handle recording. It's compatible with rolls up to 30mm in size, can be operated vertically or horizontally, and thanks to the ultra-precise digital counter on the front, you'll know the elapsed time down to the hundredth of a second.

Hater

Most dating apps look for things you and potential mates both like. Hater is a new dating app that takes the opposite approach, basing your raw matches on lists of things you both hate, from important topics like politics to simple annoyances like social etiquette and fashion. Like Tinder, you'll still get to anonymously swipe left or right on potential matches, but unlike Tinder, you'll have a built-in list of things to bitch about together if/when you finally meet face-to-face.

Uritrottoir Urinal Planter

Public restrooms can be gross and even dangerous. Peeing on whatever's around is also gross and very likely illegal. The Uritrottoir Urinal Planter tackles both problems. It's made up of two boxes, with one on top holding plants, fertilized soil, and the main portion of the urinal, which sends your pee down onto the straw that's held in the lower box. A sensor tells when the straw needs swapped out and taken to a separate composting facility, before eventually making its way back to another unit as food for the flowers on top. Currently on trial in Paris, it seems likely we'll be seeing them elsewhere in the years to come.

Ping GPS Locator

Near-field trackers like Tile can certainly be useful, but if you need to keep tabs on something that moves around more than your wallet, you're going to need something more robust. Something like the Ping GPS Locator. It combines the more common Bluetooth tracking with GPS and a 3G cellular connection, allowing you to check on the location of something nearby or across the globe. Whether it's your luggage, your pet, or even your kid, it provides accurate tracking and up to three months of battery life per charge.

Blackpods Airpods

The Jet Black iPhone 7 was one of the highlights of Apple's September 2016 media event. So were Airpods. Blackpods Airpods go ahead and do what Apple should have in the first place: mix the two together. Based in Brooklyn, they can either paint your existing set or sell you an all-new pair. Either way, the 'pods go through a three-phase process to arrive at a scratch-resistant brilliant black finish. Just be careful not to lose one — unlike Apple, they don't sell spares.

Created by the company behind the iconic Vespa, it also looks right at home on city sidewalks.

Cafe X Coffee Robot

You can place your order at one of the touchscreens at the cafe or ahead of time via an app, and simply enter a four-digit order number to have the Mitsubishi robotic arm grab your cup. Currently open in San Francisco's Metreon, it offers drinks developed hand-in-hand with local roasters AKA, Verve, and Peet's.

David Bowie Royal Mail Stamps

It may not seem like it, but it's been over a year since David Bowie passed. The singer, songwriter, and actor was as innovative as he was beloved. These David Bowie Royal Mail Stamps celebrate his career by recreating the album artwork from Hunky Dory, Heroes, Aladdin Sane, Let's Dance, Earthling, and Blackstar in mailable form. A variety of packages are available, from single stamps and fan sheets to a set of all six stamps individually mounted in a black frame.

Master & Dynamic MW50 Wireless On-Ear Headphones

Thanks to a robust, timeless design that leaves their aluminum antenna exposed, the Master & Dynamic MW50 Wireless On-Ear Headphones offer range to match their sound. They work as far as 100 feet away from the Bluetooth source, while producing outstanding audio thanks to 40mm beryllium drivers. They charge over USB-C, offer 16-hours of battery life, and with a body that's 30% smaller and lighter than their big brother MW60, are ideal for on-the-go use. Available in silver metal with black or brown leather accents and ear pads.

Boeing Starliner Spacesuit

Next year, NASA's astronauts will begin riding in a new spacecraft: the Boeing Starliner. The ship isn't the only thing that's new. The Boeing Starliner Spacesuit is the cutting-edge compliment to the new craft, bringing more safety and comfort. Thanks to advances in materials, it's 10 pounds lighter than the exit and reentry suits worn aboard the space shuttle, with the ability to let water vapor out yet keep air in. The new helmet and visor are integrated, the gloves are touchscreen-friendly to accommodate modern controls, and the joints are more flexible, letting the brave men and women who wear it move more freely.

Pentax KP Camera

As camera makers have slowed their pace on packing ever higher megapixel counts into their wares, a new focus has emerged: low-light photography. With a maximum ISO of 819,200, the new Pentax KP Camera aims to produce outstanding images even in near-darkness. That potent 24 megapixel APS-C sensor is packed into slim, ruggedized body that's both dustproof and weather-sealed, yet still offers a five-axis shake reduction system and a vertically-tilting LED monitor.

Norton Core Router

Depending on your age, you might remember having Norton Anti-virus software installed on your computer. Now the same company is back with a product to protect all the connected gadgets in your house. The Norton Core Router uses machine learning, deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, and other advanced techniques to protect your home network from threats. It has 802.11ac WiFi with a phased-array antenna for consistent, fast speeds, and thanks to its display-worthy design, you won't need to hide it in a corner.

Fujifilm GF670 Rangefinder Camera

Photography enthusiasts were saddened when Fuji announced that it was stopping production its beloved medium-format shooter three years ago. They should be happy now. The Fujifilm GF670 Rangefinder Camera is making a limited return engagement, giving fans of its images a chance to get their hands on one yet again. It's dual format capable, so it can shoot both 6x7 and 6x6 images, can handle both 120 and 220 film, and thanks to its bellows system, its compact size is far more suitable for street photography than a typical camera of its ilk.

Lofree Keyboard

Mechanical switches. Round keycaps. Everything about the Lofree Keyboard reminds you of a classic typewriter. Except the connection. Able to pair with up to three devices simultaneously, it's perfect for use with your computer, tablet, or phone, has three backlight options to easily adapt to different environs, and with the same layout as Apple's Magic Keyboard, it'll be instantly familiar to any Mac user.

Attenborough Story of Life

Sir David Attenborough has spent decades of his life putting animals and other natural phenomena to film. Attenborough Story of Life is a new app that lets you peruse his work on a subject-by-subject basis. Included in the app are segments from such esteemed shows as Planet Earth, Blue Planet, and Life, covering everything from the tiniest insects to the largest creatures on Earth. A perfect warmup before Planet Earth II comes to the States.

Fujifilm X100F Camera

The fourth generation of Fuji's all-in-one shooter, the Fujifilm X100F Camera improves upon an already-beloved formula. A new 24.3 megapixel X-Trans APS-C sensor provides the best performance yet in an X-series camera, with an improved hybrid AF system that has 91 focus points and can grab focus in as little as 0.08 seconds. Its 23mm f/2.0 lens remains as sharp as ever, while the hybrid viewfinder can now magnify the scene when in electronic rangefinder mode. The controls have improved as well, with a new ISO dial incorporated into the shutter speed dial, and a redesigned rear face that makes the most commonly-used functions reachable with your right thumb. Available in silver or all black.

Leica M10 Camera

Leica's M series is one of the most heralded in all of photography. The Leica M10 Camera is the latest to join its ranks, offering a mix of old and new technologies that elevate it above the rest. For starters, its body is closer in size to that of the company's film-based M-models, making it more comfortable to use. Likewise, it has manual controls for shutter speed, focus, aperture, and ISO value, a first for a digital M. Yet despite these old-school features, it has a number of advanced improvements. An all-new 24 megapixel CMOS sensor offers improved ISO sensitivity, dynamic range, and sharpness, the latter thanks to the omission of a low-pass filter. A current-generation Maestro II image processor makes it the fastest M ever made, integrated GPS and WiFi add modern conveniences, and the lack of a video mode means it's even easier to get down to the business of making photos.
