Cellphone

Now I like cars as much as the next person, but due to lack of funds and living in a city where you have to pay money just to use your car (damn congestion charge) I am sadly without at the moment. Perhaps I could indulge my Top Gear fantasies with these little numbers, though. You can choose between an Audi, a Ferrari or a BMW, and they look like tiny model cars.. but they’re working mobile phones! Encased within their plastic shell is a working mobile, with a 2-inch touch screen and a 1.3 megapixel camera!
It has a 1GB internal memory and you can play MP3 files and video files on it, with 240 minutes of talk time and 72 hours of standby.
