We’ve seen this type of toy before, but never in such a plush and cute form factor. The Kam Kam Mobile Alert — that’s the cat version — and Don Don Mobile Alert detect the GSM radio on your handset from up to five feet away when a call or message comes in. Instead of blinking or spinning, Kitty or Rover will wag its tail for 15 seconds to let you know if your ringer happens to be silent. The desktop critter has a handy spot to plonk your handset in when in use, but sadly doesn’t offer a charger option. The holiday season is approaching and this would likely make a cute gift, and at $30 a pop, it shouldn’t break the bank.

For those worried about crooks swiping their GPS while it’s left alone in the vehicle, Medion is introducing a new navigator that becomes utterly useless if the owner’s fingerprint isn’t around to get things going. The GoPal P4425 is also equipped with the usual amenities found on a higher-end GPS including Bluetooth, RDS-TMC, voice activation, text-to-speech, and an FM transmitter. Additionally, you’ll find a 4.3-inch widescreen display, a rechargeable Li-ion that’s good for four to five hours before needing a boost, and full western Europe maps complete with “a preloaded safety camera database with major route speed limit warnings.” Set to hit shelves in November, the GoPal P4425 carries a £299.99 ($604) pricetag, while the pared down GoPal E3410 that was simultaneously announced will run you £189.99 ($383).
