The only way to charge this soda can-sized lantern/flashlight/spotlight is with the solar panel. One hour’s worth of direct sunlight means two hours of operation on low, or one hour on high, and the lantern can reportedly hold a charge for eight months. The LED lights and internal rechargeable NiMH battery mean no bulb- or battery-buying, ever, making this ostensibly a lifetime lantern for fifty bucks. Developed by doctors after mission trips to Africa, where they saw first-hand how about three-quarters of folks live without electricity. Portions of each sale go toward replacing the standard in African villages—expensive, unhealthy and greenhouse gas-emitting kerosene lanterns—with K-Lights.

Also: Congrats to the lucky Laurel, winner of the Point It. More giveaways coming your way soon!

Who else was crushed when they quit making instant film for those big old clunky Polaroid cameras? Well, this 5 megapixel digital with zoom, timer and red-eye removal prints 2-inch by 3-inch photo stickers with its integrated inkless printer. Clearly an upgrade. Likely absent: That kachunk-whir sound and anticipation-building processing time your grandkids will never experience.

One of the items in Breaking the Language Barrier, my latest “travel helpers” roundup for the Minneapolis Star Tribune Sunday travel section: This fantastically priced translator, which doubles as an alarm clock. Push one of eight buttons corresponding to popular travel categories to access over 4,500 pre-programmed phrases you can read on-screen or play out loud. (There’s a headphone jack for discreet learning.) It’s quite simple to switch between the seven languages; English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese; and you can easily store your favorite travel phrases in a special button-location, for easy access. Two caveats: You must rely on the pre-programmed phrases—no ability to type in words willy-nilly. Also, Japanese shows up as characters, not translated into the Latin Alphabet. All in all, nice bang for your buck.

The well organized urbanite’s answer to the Swiss Army knife: a mini screwdriver, file, scissors, toothpick, knife, tweezers, pin, pen and ruler, all swiftly pluckable from their thick credit card-like home. As with the aforementioned knife, don’t try to carry this on, kids.
