You know how those huge mobile phones from the 80s look so ridiculous? Bulky camcorders are finally headed the same direction.

The USB port flips out of the top, so you can connect it directly to your computer for downloading or charging the built-in battery.

Oh, the benefits of this little microfiber map. It doesn’t rip or require an intricate folding system. It does, however, clean your glasses, wipe snotty noses and get you to the nearest subway line in Midtown Manhattan. Comes in 24 popular, concentrated destinations. By the by, it’s one of ten cool travel gadgets I wrote about for Budget Travel magazine a while back.

On the road, no one wants to mess with the dude who looks like he might be able to handle a throwing star. Also: Who knew ninjas were so into handy compartments?
