Never get stuck without a working phone again. The SpareOne Emergency Phone ($60) is a dead-simple GSM cell that draws its power from a single AA battery, meaning that it should be good to go in any situation, assuming you can find a battery — and the cell towers are working. Other features include one-button emergency dialing even without a SIM card, the ability to be geo-located in an emergency, 9 speed dial buttons, and a built-in LED torch light.

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD

And the award for Worst Cell Phone Name of the Year goes to... the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD ($TBA).

Casper Mattress

We spend about a third of our time sleeping, so the mattress you sleep on every night is incredibly important. But when you lie on a bed for five minutes in a mattress showroom, it's impossible to judge how you'll sleep through the night - and the commissioned salesperson hovering doesn't help. Casper was designed with the bedroom in mind, not the showroom, and features premium latex foam for cooling and memory foam for comfort and support. In fact, you can avoid the showroom altogether as Casper comes compress-shipped right to your door. Make sleep a priority again with this impeccably designed, outrageously comfortable, and hand-crafted mattress made in the U.S.A.

Samsung Galaxy Beam

We've seen projectors built into point-and-shoot cameras, but since those are quickly being replaced by smartphones, it was inevitable we'd see a projector pop up in one of those next. And so we have, with the Samsung Galaxy Beam ($TBA). Although its specs are relatively pedestrian — a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch 480x800 display, Android 2.3, 8GB of memory, and a 5 megapixel camera — it's the 15 lumen projector built into the top that steals the show, letting you share photos and videos on a projected screen up to 50-inches wide.

Nokia 808 PureView

And you thought your phone had a kick-ass camera. Packing a revolutionary 41 megapixel sensor, the Nokia 808 PureView ($TBA) redefines what's possible with a camera phone. In standard resolutions — 2, 3, 5, or 8 megapixels — advanced algorithms are used to combine multiple pixels into one, while allowing for crystal clear zooming. At high resolutions — up to a 38 megapixel maximum — you can crop, reframe, and resize to your heart's content. Yeah, it's a little chunky, and yes, it's disappointingly powered by Symbian, but for imaging technology this crazy, it might be worth the tradeoff.

Or just tell Siri to do something — it can make calls, send texts and emails, schedule reminders, make notes, search the web, find local businesses, get directions and much more.
