Airboard laptop stand puts your Reebok Pumps to shame


Go on, admit it -- your day in the early 90s was never complete without reaching down in public and giving those Pumps a solid squeeze. In all honesty, we can't say that Ki-Seung Lee's Airboard is quite on that level, but it's certainly got the potential to be. This laptop stand was designed to reside in your lap or on your hotel room table and give each individual user the ability to elevate it as he / she sees fit. Of course, the usefulness would really take a hit if this thing takes five minutes to get good and inflated, but we could certainly see this becoming ergonomist-approved should it ever hit retail.

Toshiba readying steam iron with built-in pump

It's been quite awhile since a steam iron caught our eye, but Toshiba is reportedly readying such a device that makes the entire process a bit easier. Hailed as "the world's first steam iron with a built-in pump," the forthcoming device can spray "up to 2.1 times as much steam as earlier models, has 30-percent more strength at permeating cloth," and touts a surface that's coated in enamel for easier gliding. Apparently, the automatic nature of the steaming allows for more even ironing results, and while we aren't exactly sure if all these niceties are worth the ¥16,000 ($138) pricetag, those who do can snap one up in around three weeks.
