My new favorite gadget!

Quick review of the Adafruit "Flowing Effect iOS Dock Data+Charging Cable - Black w/Aqua EL"

Completely pointless.

Everyone who sees it wants it.

Sounds like something for the GizWiz!

I forgot to mention in the video:

• $15 for the iOS version
• They have regular USB and Lightning Connector versions

"Great Artists Ship"  Lon Koenig 

---- Lon is right. I love this cable. I got the micro USB version to charge my Galaxy 3. Everyone who visits Gizneyland loves it too! The movement slows down as your phone nears full charge. When the moving light goes out, your phone is charged. So it's fun to watch, and very useful. $14.95.

We'd love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show. Here's what we're looking for:

Your home made Videos -- two to three minutes long - (four maximum) in the any of the following categories:

I bought a piece of crap! Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

I Invented This! Do you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions.

My Gadget Warehouse! Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it. 

My favorite gadget of all time! Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be something you just bought too.

Post them on YouTube and send our producer, Jason, the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long, 4 MAX! Low production value is fine. Even welcomed! That way our stuff doesn't look bad by comparison. We've set the bar low. Don't trip over it.

NEW! NEW! NEW! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you will now be awarded with some sort of prize. It's Leo's way to get rid of all the "crap from Sky Mall" he's collected. So there's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!
