Nomad Brush sells capacitive tipped paint brushes for use on your iPad. The iPad can't sense pressure, so the use of these special brushes is primarily for feel. Artists may be more accustomed to using a brush than their finger. Brushes cost from $18 to $39.

iLidiPhoneCase claims to be the thinnest iPhone wallet case. It's priced at $39.95 and is shipping in a few weeks. The floor model felt a bit plastic-y, however.

This is great. Now I can sip a beer and talk on my iPhone while driving.Opena Case (http://www.openacase.com/) and Intoxicase (http://intoxicase.com/) were both showing off iPhone cases with built in bottle openers. Intoxicase's even integrates (http://intoxicase.com/app.html) with an app that counts the number of openings.
