Tech Wednesday: The Goods

We’re taking a look at the goods from Popular Science magazine's latest issue.

VIDEO AND PRODUCT INFO AFTER THE JUMP...

Good Listener
BlueAnt V1 headset $
Take a cellphone call simply by saying "answer" to the V1, the first headset with voice-recognition software built into its Bluetooth chip. When a call arrives, the headset automatically turns on a mic to listen for your command; otherwise, press its button once to issue orders like "check batter."

Mobile Mouse
Samsung I907, price not set
The i907 replaces a trackball or scroll wheel with the same sensor used in optical mice. An led illuminates your finder as it slides over the button, and a camera detects the motion to control the cursor onscreen.

Video Camera
Nikon D90, $1,000
The first digital SLR camera to shoot video saves five minutes of high-definition footage, or 20 minutes of standard-def, using any Nikon lens. Or shoot 12-megapixel stills at around four per second.

Springboard
Soul Arc Board, $260
With a large fiberglass spring beneath its deck, the only two -tiered skateboard smoothes your ride. The suspension absorbs shocks to keep you stable over bumps, steps or other obstacles.

Floss With Teeth
Reach UltraClean Floss, $4
The floss has 22 microscopic ridges running its length, letting it grab more plaque than an ordinary flat thread. But it slips easily between teeth; the stretchy material thinks out to fit in tight spaces.
