The coolest and strangest Google merchandize

Google-branded merchandize shows up from time to time, and we here at Pingdom were kind of wondering where people outside of Google get hold of this stuff. And lo and behold, Google has its very own online store, GoogleStore.com.

There is some pretty neat stuff in there, so here is our (highly subjective) pick of the coolest (and sometimes strangest) merchandize from Google.

(There are no affiliate links or anything in this post. We just thought it would be fun to list the items we liked the most. The links below just go to regular product pages at the Google Store.)

Google flashing yo-yo

Who doesn’t like yo-yos? Especially ones lit up by flashing lights…

Google crank flashlight

An emergency flashlight with an FM radio, siren, and cell phone charger. The whole thing can be charged by cranking it.

Why the iPad’s lack of multitasking is a GOOD thing

Apple iPad

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock lately, you’ll know that last week Apple announced the iPad, its new tablet device. Reactions have been a mixed bag, and a storm of discussion has swept through the blogosphere about various features the iPad should or shouldn’t have had.
