COOPER COOLER - COOLEST GADGET THIS SPRING

I got a Cooper Cooler this week. This is a cooler which promises to chill a full bottle of wine in 6 minutes, a can of soda or beer in 3 minutes. Honestly, I, didn't believe that it would work as well as it did until I stuck a bottle of wine in it and 6 minutes later, it was not only chilled, it was cold to the touch!

I know it isn't the ideal gadget for travel (even though the "Tailgater" version comes with both a 12V car lighter plug), I can tell you this, I'm be a Cooper Cooler fan forever!

Amoung the other reviews coming down the pike - The Philips GoGear Audio Jukebox and the Creative Zen Vision:M mp3 players, the Seagate 120GB Portable External Hard Drive, and the Kodak Easy Share One Digital camera.

Listen for Gadget Travel soon on Sirius Channel 119 during Traveling, with Paul Lasley and Elizabeth Harryman.
