Vomit bag becomes iPhone movie watching case

In a design I can only describe as “why didn’t I think of that”, one enterprising airline passenger decided to turn the in-seat vomit bag into a simple iPhone movie case.

Forget $40 plastic cases with stands, this paper bag simply fits behind the seat table and provides an instant and easy way to watch your movies. The case is even “compatible” when the person in front of you reclines their seat.

Brilliant.

Gadling’s 10 days of gadget giveaways – day 9 – MoGo mouse

Welcome to day 9 of Gadling’s Gadget Giveaway. Todays prize is for a MoGo mouse. The MoGo mouse was recently featured in the Gadling best travel products of 2008.

The MoGo mouse is a compact optical mouse that slides right into the expansion slot on your laptop. MoGo offers versions for PCCard and Expresscard/54 slots. When stowed in your laptop, the mouse recharges its internal battery, ready for you to use when you need it.

The mouse is surprisingly comfortable to use, and a small folding kickstand raises it to the right angle. The mouse uses Bluetooth to connect to your laptop, so you will need a built in Bluetooth adapter, or a USB add-on adapter in order to use the mouse.
