We found a nifty new accessory for those Sony handheld owners who want to play their favorite games on the television, without having to scoot ever so close to the TV.

It's called the PSP Slim & Lite Extension Cable from Hong Kong company Brando Workshop. They are offering this 5-foot long extension cable for the PSP. More on the Slim & Lite cable after the jump!

 

Tired of swapping out those AAs every time your Wiimote runs out of juice? Accessory manufacturer Brando Workshop - couch potatoes may remember its Bond-ish remote watch - is announcing the release of its (affordable) rechargeable battery and charger set built specifically for the Wiimote, which should save up on your wallet to ensure maximum gaming pleasure. This Wiimote charger package includes the following:

• LED indicator
• Battery Capacity: 2.4V 1800mAh
• Recharge Wii Rechargeable Battery via the USB of the Wii console
• Extra store space for Nunchuk
  

Yes, we know - there are already plenty of other Wiimote chargers out in the market - Nyko's selection come into mind here. Comparatively speaking, while this charger doesn't carry Nyko's dual-charge capability, it's still interesting that it hooks up to the Wii's USB port instead of a wall outlet. Brando Workshop's Wiimote charger sells for US$ 17.00, which is a pretty good bargain for any Wii accessory like this. Kudos to Lawrence for letting us in on this interesting Wiimote Accessory.

You can use your cellphones as a telescope with a whatnow? Oh yes, your trusty mobile phones aren't just meant for calling and texting, at least not anymore.

  

What with all the techie cellphone accessories proliferating the market right now, some are saying we're starting to reach the age where we can do practically anything with our cellphones. Heck, some are even saying that next-gen mobiles could replace the PSP, or crazier yet, mobiles will someday surpass game consoles. But here's something that your PSWii60 won't be able to do: have an attachable telescope to unleash the voyeur in you.

Brought to us by Brando.com, their latest offering is the Mobile Phone Telescope for Nokia phones which offers up to 6x telescopic zoom for your camera-donning cellphones. This is also really useful for hardcore-photographer-wannabes (who can't afford SLR's) who wanna try out their skills for capturing stunning images using their cellphones. And to further demonstrate the "zooming in power" that this product has, take a look at the images below:

 

The image on the left shows the view without the gadget (I'm calling it a "cellescope") and beside it shows the view using the cellescope. Not bad, eh? And for just US$ 19, it's definitely not that bad a deal especially for photography enthusiasts. The mobile phone telescope comes with a neckstrap and battery cover upon purchase.

Parting from the conventional cubed iPod docks, Hong Kong brand Brando introduces a tubular iPod dock/speaker combo called iSing. Looking very polished and dapper, iSing comes in a variety of colors, such as the default silver, green, or purple. Other than your iPod Nano and iPod 5G (Video) 30G, it is also suitable for other portable music devices thru line-in.

As for its capabilities, well, they're fairly simplistic, with not much frills. It's powered by AAA batteries, DC adapter, or your USB port. For that complementary touch, the accents are in "iPod white". Oh, and of course it has volume control.

Hmmm, so it doesn't really boast of some mind-blowing hi-tech capacities. But hey, iPod has evolved to become more than just about the music, anyway. Now, it's all about the fashion. And as long as the iSing plays your music while at the same time jazzing up your style, then there's really no reason to complain, right?

The iSing Speaker Dock for your iPod is yours for only US$ 25.00.

Brando, the people who brought us the USB pen and the touchscreen remote control watch, are back with another product that will quite literally dazzle you. If you still haven't noticed the swanky little thingy to the left of this block of text, then we're taking this opportunity to call your attention to it. Behold: Brando's new USB Bluetooth card reader.

As the name suggests, this card reader not only reads and writes to many different kinds of memory cards, it's also a Bluetooth dongle. Just plug it into your PC and voila! You can connect to your phone, your PDA, even your Bluetooth-enabled boxer shorts if you have one. Plus colored lights!

Brando's USB Bluetooth card reader supports 52 different memory card types, including MMC, mini SD, and MS PRO Duo. The USB transfer rate of this baby can go up to 480 Mbps, and it's backwards compatible with USB 1.1. It's Bluetooth 1.2 compliant, supports Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP, and comes with its own driver CD.

All that plus the blinkies (or "moody lights" according to Brando) goes for $25 a pop.

Couch potatoes have just gotten a new toy to play with: the touchscreen remote control watch from Brando. Haha, a remote control watch from Brando. Get it? Marlon Brando? Y'know, The Godfather + remote control watch for lazy people... Aw, forget it. We suck at these jokes anyway.

This watch, whose extra-long official version name is the "Brando Workshop TV001 Touch Screen TV Remote Watch," features the aforementioned touchscreen function, a backlight, alarm and hourly signal, and a 1/100 second stopwatch with a SPLIT function. The Brando website also states that "Many kinds of TV can be remote control in the world." We THINK that means that the watch can synchronize with and control a lot of currently available TVs, but for all we know it could be Brandic for "Big Brother is watching you."

The icons on the touchscreen are rather tiny, so it may take a few days of practicing to master just where you should press to change what. Of course, we recommend that all that practice be done on the couch with your food and drink of choice.

You can get this baby strapped onto your wrist for $18 US. It's available in black only, and has a plastic watchstrap. All in all, a fun little gadget to play with. At least with this watch, you can keep a closer eye on how long it actually takes before you get tired of what's on the TV and switch channels.

At one point or another, any of us may have gone through a day when you have that oh-so-important presentation to make. So you spent the better part of your morning trying to get properly dressed and practicing your speech in the mirror. You've dutifully stapled the hand-outs together and placed them into individual folders. Just as you were headed out the door, you then realize that you can't find your USB flash drive and you have to spend another fifteen minutes or so trying to hunt down the darn thing.

But thankfully, some bright individuals at Brando have decided that they wanted to make the world a better place and decided to take matters into their own hands.

Introducing one of the most useful office gadgets I have seen for a while, the 3-In-1 pen offers three indispensable things in the office environment: A laser pointer for presentations, a plug-and-play 512MB USB Flash Drive for your documents, and a fully-functioning pen! All in one elegant package.

It looks just like an ordinary pen, but unscrewing the first section reveals the USB part, while a small, silver button near the top activates the laser pointer which is powered by a couple of CR1220 batteries. This lovely thins also weighs a mere 1.6 ounces and retails for $27.

Not only does this gadget save you from the bother of having multiple gadgets jingling around in your pockets all day, but it also makes you seem cooler than the rest of the people in your office. Now, if only they're decided to add a stapler and a coffee stirrer to the thing...
