Here are some of the Xbox Kinect games available now:

Kinect Sports and Fitness

Kinectimals- Microsoft's Kinect game for the FarmVille crowd. Raise and cuddle lions, cheetahs, dogs, and a whole mess of other animals.

Cell Phone Charging Pad

Looking for a cell phone charging pad, well now they are available.The Duracell myGrid charging device is a product you want to like. Imagine the possibilities, you come home and toss your phone, iPod or other device on the pad and walk away. No wires to plug and unplug, no more having several chargers plugged in the wall outlet. A wireless home power grid, truly the wave of the future.



If you have multiple cell phones that you would like to charge, or if you are very tired of having to go search for your ordinary plug-in charger and then fiddling to plug that into your phone. Also, one particular kit only works for owners of Motorola, Nokia and Blackberry phones.

Duracell have also bought out another kit that works for Apple iPhones. They are slowly improving each model of cell phone charging pad.





My Grid Reviews
Overall it's a great little product, and it gets better if everyone in the house has a phone with this type of case because everyone can just rest their phone down and it gets charged from the one simple charging station, this eliminates countless adapters and cords and makes life a heck of a lot easier.

The one use that I see the myGrid serving well is as a charging dock on a desk. Keeping the phone plugged in and then unplugging it everytime I want to use it is a real pain. So being able to keep my phone charged by just tossing it down on the desk is very appealing to me. However, the case is so annoying that I think that the case will just stay with the myGrid for use only when sitting at the desk.
