Do you have the coolest gadget? Come show it off at the Gadgethon on Thursday, October 1st!
This is the opportunity for you to show off your thing - whatever that it. Is it the biggest or the fastest? Is it surgically enhanced? Is your mum proud of it?
Last year, some amazing gadgets were presented - from a toothbrush that controlled a videogame to a remote control car that rode on the ceiling (not on the floor…) and lots of gadgets that went from the plain odd/bordering wacky, to the absolutely coolest and trendiest stuff. But this year will be even better.
You will have two minutes to show off your thing (in public and without legal consequences). Don't be shy. This is your chance, all you have to do is sign up and bring your gadget with you... (Nobody will believe you if you just talk about it).
PS: To participate just drop me an email telling me what your gadget is:

| Jethro Ferguson | Ogilvy | I am going to bring my pet rabbit...or "Nabaztag" as my Armenian friends refer to him. He is smart, obedient, has lots of friends, and likes to entertain. He doesn't need water or food, just a constant supply of wi-fi. Unfortunately, he was put on an endangered species list last month so I'm hoping he'll still be "live" come Oct 1st!

| Martin Varsavsky | Fon | The Fonera 2.0n is the ultimate internet assistant. It lets you download torrents directly to your external hard drive from torrent sites such as Megaupload and Rapidshare, upload photos and videos from your camera to social web sites such as Youtube, Picasa, Facebook and Flickr, converts 3G to WiFi, and talks to you via Twitter. It is also the WiFi router that, when you share a little WiFi at home, lets you roam the world for free!
