Hark, the holiday catalogs have begun landing with a thump in my mailbox. If you’re like me, you may be amused by some of the zany offerings.
In a new slide show on Bing Travel, Wacky Travel Gadgets, we’ve picked out 10 fun products that range from the practical to the just plain crazy.
Need a flying car? Look no further than Hammacher Schlemmer, which sells a vehicle that converts from an auto to a light sport aircraft in 30 seconds. How about a sound speaker in the shape of a koala bear or panda? Magellan’s offers this fun device so you can plug your iPod, iPhone, iPad, MP3 player or computer in and listen to your favorite songs. Don’t wish to be nibbled on by Cimex lectularius, also known as the common bed bug? Magellan’s also sells Avenger Natural Bed Bug Killer Luggage Spray to prevent the little buggers from hitching a ride home in your suitcase.
What’s your favorite wacky travel gadget? Tell us about it below.

Wow! What a vehicle. Wonder how long before we get this in my neighborhood. That would be something.
As for me, I would go to the latest edition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab - to compete with the iPad from Apple. It is based on another cell phone with sales success, the Samsung Galaxy S Smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Tab runs on Android 2.2. A traveler could not imagine how cool it is to carry around the internet and apps and music and what's not in his hands. The Tablet runs the latest Android OS, 3.1 Honeycomb. It's got a 2.0 megapixel camera on the front, which is OK for videochat, and a competent 3.0 megapixel camera on the back. See how useful it is? Thanks for sharing a very nice topic. Ciao! :)
I wanna a flying car,wahahaha```
A hand-pump-action traveling espresso machine. It's the most suggestive thing you've ever seen, but sure makes good coffee on the road. We use little sake cups which are sturdy enough for travel. See bobarno.com/.../coffee-on-the-road for a peek and say whether you'd dare be seen with one of these gadgets.
They always predicted that one day in the future we'd be able to fly in our cars and I guess the day is here. Even though this flying car looks a little weird, I'm sure it does the trick. It will be nice to be able to fly from one short destination to another without having to put up with traffic jams and things like that. However, we have to be careful up there in the sky too. Remember, there are no driving lanes or stop signs or red lights. When more and more flying cars are up there, there are bound to be accidents too. So, I guess with convenience, driving or (flying) safely and defensively still stands.
You did not mention the mileage when it is a car. However, I'll take two.

I really like the Avenger Bed Bug Spray...that is a real problem these days and a natural solution is just what the doctor ordered! I'll take half a dozen!!! For sure.
that is crazy everything else though... not too crazy but a car thats 350,000$ and it can fly? think technology like that is worth way more, what a bargain!
