Young gamers have earned a reputation as glazed-eyed couch potatoes, shunning the outdoors and any physical activities in order to stay in front of their video games, aiming for the ever elusive high score, victory over rival clans, or discovering the secret keys to the supreme kingdom.

Well, once again, here comes the Nintendo Wii to the rescue with the WiiFit, scheduled for release on May 19.

The WiiFit is a medium sized balance board that is pressure sensitive that allows various exercise options, under the eye of a virtual trainer.  Using the Wiifit, one can do workouts like pushups, yoga, and even virtual hula hoops.  One can also become a sports persona, for example a Soccer Goalie blocking shots with your head, do some dance step routines.

The WiiFit has a suggested retail of $89.99.

Ok, so you’re completely addicted to your iPhone and can’t go anywhere without it.

So what happens when you want to go for a run?

What to do? What to do?

Belkin has one answer, the Sport Armband for the iPhone.  Hey, the iPod folks have an armband, why not the iPhone people?

Belkin’s Sport Armband is made of breathable, machine-washable material.  It also includes a small pocket suitable for keys or your earbuds.  The armband has full screen protection, but you still don’t want to take a spill and land on the arm that has your iPhone strapped to it.

Frankly, the iPhone is a bit bulky to be strapped to your arm, but if you need constant phone connectivity to the outside world, even during workout time, this product will give it to you.

The Sport Armband has a suggested retail of $29.99.
