I have this weird new habit - I like to order from deal extreme every week, with $20 as my max.
It gives me my gadget fix, without blowing my personal budget.

So far:

3 watches
memory reader
bad ass remote control/mouse for my computer
tons of iphone stuff


Anything else out there fun/useful/ worth checking out?

Thanks

True, I kinda feel like i'm involved in some scam because I'm there every Saturday, getting weird packages from Hong Kong.

What iPhone stuff did you get? I want to mount my phone while im in my car, but I've already got GPS and Sirius suctioned... I think adding a 3rd suction is gonna look weird.

Firstly, run to staples and get some industrial strength velcro. I velcro my gps, sirius, and iphone using carefully placed strips. It looks stupid when all are up at once, but I rarely use the gps. Of course, you have to be a dork to walk around with velcro on your iphone case, but I have multiple cases (and I don't really care, I'm a dork!).

I ordered:
stereo Headset (prefer canalphone style to the stock in ear variety) - meh quality, slightly better than stock

Car charger - for 2.83, works perfectly
cigarette lighter splitter (best 6 bucks I've spent - allows for 4 devices plus one USB)
some sleeves
av cable
dock

I', sure more, but I'm drawing a blank right now

The package is sent certified/international so you must sign for it (unless you're home when the postman attempts delivery). They leave a notice in your mailbox.

It's really not a big deal, but my deal extreme ordering means I'm at the post office *every* saturday, and I'm the only indian guy in my neighborhood (and the manager of that post office is indian), so they recognize me now.. And I'm always picking up weird packages from hong kong that are labeled for customs as "gifts - clocks, other" among other odd things. They must seriously wonder who's giving me so many gifts from HK and why.
