Here’s a gadget that has my vote for “Gadget of the Year.” The CJAM 1000 is a powerful but portable battery-operated cell phone jammer that will disconnect any conversation within a fifty-foot radius.

Sony’s latest and greatest memory card will fit an amazing amount of data onto a tiny, tiny sliver of a device. It’ll make it possible to carry somewhere close to two Terabytes (2,048GB) on a keychain, though the one pictured has only a 512MB capacity. Not only will the miCard be able to pack in the bytes, it’ll be lighting fast, as well, at 480Mbit/sec. These devices will be a new format all together, but, unlike other Sony formats, this one is designed to be USB compatible.
