What, you still think you are going to get one of these? The Wii from Nintendo is proving to be this year's hot gaming console, as it has been flying off the shelves and is nigh impossible for stores to keep in stock.

O.K., so there are a million-and-a-half cool phones we could have stuck on this list, and many that are more useful as business tools. The LG VX9400 beats them all because its slide-and-swivel construction makes it ideal for watching TV. Remember TV? That thing you do when you're not working?

Why settle for a flash drive that is merely functional when you can get one that does its job and looks cool doing it. The Mimobot comes in 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB. Plus you can get Mimobots that are shaped like original trilogy Star Wars characters. Remember when Darth Vader was cool? Now he is again.

O.K., so it's not as small as a BlackBerry or iPhone. But the OQO is a fully functional mobile PC with a full set of specs -- a 1.6GHz VIA C7M processor, 120GB of storage, 512MB-1GB of RAM, embedded security and VIA's Padlock AES encryption engine, 5" WVGA LCD display, backlit thumb keyboard, wireless WAN and LAN, and Bluetooth.

And it's slightly smaller than a paperback book. It may not fit into a pocket (unless you're wearing cargo pants), but the OQO will fit easily into a purse, backpack or briefcase.

Impress your friends, strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, and look cool doing it by driving around the JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank from NAO Designs. And at $19,995, that's less than you would spend on a luxury sedan. It seats five, and while its maximum cruising speed is about 40 mph, that's still more than fast enough to outrun a horde of zombies.
