Great New Gadgets

Big screen. Pingpong pro. Tailgater’s delight. Cool carts.

Robert Bowden

Media Wall
What could top an extravagant wish list? An Interactive Media Wall from Perceptive Pixel. It’s an all-in-one computational device that functions much as an iPhone does. Your fingers control a wall-size computer and screen. The eight-by-three-foot image area makes your wall a canvas for your work. You can size a photo by squeezing it with your fingers, "paint" with brushes of your choice, zoom around Google Earth as never before, play an instrument or even write a magazine column. Neiman Marcus is offering it for $100,000. Call 1-877-9NM-GIFT.

In the Spin
What you need to set your game/entertainment room apart is a throwback to yesterday: a pingpong table. Not a folding-variety table with the green top and chipped edges. We’re talking the Killerspin Revolution pingpong table that starred in this summer’s Balls of Fury movie and was used in three consecutive World Table Tennis Championships. It’s for sale for $2,000. Of course, you’ll need to practice. For that, Killerspin will sell you a $719 Robo-Pong 2040. Robo will fire shots at you, randomly adding topspin, backspin, right spin or left spin. Find everything the pros use, including special clothes, at www.killerspin.com.

Gator Bait?
Perhaps your idea of a great time is tailgating before the Florida Gators try to destroy another opponent. But you want to tailgate in style! Here’s just the item: a custom, tailgating trailer that comes with an LCD TV, satellite receiver, DVD, generator, beer on tap, running water, barbecue, microwave, soda dispenser and even a toilet. A tent can be attached to the trailer so your friends can tailgate in the shade. The Ultimate Tailgate Trailer starts at $13,900 and you can stack up the options. There’s even a custom-paint job with the Gators’ orange and blue.
