T-Press automatically irons your trousers

There's a plethora of washing machines out there to take care of the average cotton tee and junker jeans, but when dressing to impress, you need something a notch above dry and wrinkled. Enter the T-Press, an automated robot that desires nothing more than to press your trousers to perfection, and can flatten even the most minuscule, unwanted creases right out of your designer pants. Churning up 1,600 watts, this brushed aluminum machine perfects your pants by using a movable press and offers varying temperature settings to boot, and unlike a typical bout with the steam iron, this process takes just 2.5 minutes to complete and isn't likely to torch your hand in the process. Still, there's no information whatsoever regarding price or future availability, nor any indication of an emergency stop button being included for when it inevitably decides to eat your Van Heusen's for lunch, but feel free to click on over to see the live action mockups if nothing else.

Mustek readying brushed aluminum SI302A webcam

Mustek's taking a break from those digital photo frames and whatchamacallits to offer up a rather stylish webcam, donning a brushed aluminum outfit and a few sexy curves to boot. The SI302A looks to perch atop your display's lonely frame or make itself at home on a desk top, and aside from the glamor aspects, the innards aren't half bad either. The device will reportedly boast a 1/4-inch CMOS sensor, auto-focus lens, USB 2.0 connectivity, and can capture 1,280 x 1,024 resolution at 30fps sans compression. Additionally, this minuscule eye toy will house an integrated "condenser microphone" for video chats or audio transmissions, and while Mustek hasn't quite nailed down an MSRP for this presumably iSight-inspired device, it plans to have it on store shelves in March.

Samsung's stylish 19-incher: the CX931B LCD


Joining the staggering array of 19-inchers out there (and ones soon to come) vying for your hard-earned dollars is a trendy new model from Samsung, dubbed the CX931B. While we don't have a lot of hard deets at the moment, the curvalicious display is apparently targeting "design-conscious" young consumers (or their oh-so-generous parents, that is) by sporting a futuristic design as well as coming in black or the ever-popular white color schemes. AVing has it that the svelte display boasts a 700:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, gamer-friendly 5-milliseconds response time, and an 18-degree tilting stand, but there's no word on the native resolution or selection of inputs just yet. The CX931B can probably be found infiltrating college dorm rooms soon for 360,000 KRW ($382).

Cardboard bag protects your laptop in recycled style

Here at Engadget, we do have a certain love for the aesthetic appeal of gadgets -- when we do things we like to do them with style, and we appreciate it when others do too. So, in that vein we present to you what might just possibly be the first cardboard laptop case ever (except for those folks who tote their machines in pizza boxes). It was shown at London's recent [re]Design exhibition, and claims to be made from 100 percent recycled materials, so we're assuming that the leather strap counts as recycled cow. Still, as someone pointed out in Inhabitat's comments, it's unclear what happens if you use this case in the rain.
