For now, just a concept, but what a great way to harness your kid’s energy while they play. Rocco the Energy Pal is an entry in the Greener Gadgets design competition. Rocco teaches children about energy generation and conservation by converting kinetic energy created through rocking into electricity. The removable handles are a flashlight or a nightlight to stay up extra late – except, with all that rocking, they won’t be able to. Rocco 2.0 should include an iPod/phone charging adaptor under the mane.
They have a lot of votes, but need more to get to the top. You can see some other cool entries and vote for Rocco here.

The Smrtcase Glide for the iPhone 3G / 3G S has an integrated cardholder for a your most frequently used cards. It has this clever sliding design so that you can easily swipe your Metrocard without fumbling. The cool design allows you to stash your credit card, ID, etc, for those times when you want to travel wallet-free. They should change the company name to Geniuscase. The Blackberry version is coming soon. More details on their Website. (Thanks for the tip Hilary who doesn’t have a blog.)

This convertible ottoman has countless uses. By day, it’s a see-saw/fort/castle/tunnel/lava pit/whatever they can imagine. By night, it’s an elegant place to rest tired feet. Jennifer Esposito designed this multi-use ottoman with both parents and kids in mind. More info on Jennifer Esposito’s Website.

This is a great concept. And, if it goes into production, would be a useful nightlight on a time. And they have cool colors.
