2009 is sure to bring around a whole new technological advancement when it comes to gadgets and gizmos, and you can expect to see some weird, wonderful and downright stunning devices hitting the market as early as January.

For every computer owner out there that loves to modify and upgrade their systems, or just likes the accessorizing abilities that can be available then the new smart pen is going to be a gadget that wows the crowds.

If you prefer to write notes down on paper rather than type them up on the computer then this smart pen is the device for you. It writes in ink just like a standard pen, but here is the twist it actually records audio from what you are writing and plays it back to you when you tap the pen on the paper.

You can also transfer these notes onto a computer or onto a laptop if you needed to. At this moment in time you can purchase the 1GB or the 2GB pen, retailing at 100 and 135 respectively.

Gardens are something that will always grow and it can take time and patience to get the lawn mower out and spend anything up to an hour cutting the lawns, especially after a long day at work. That's why the new auto-mower solar-powered robotic lawn mower comes in handy as it 100% solar powered and will trim and keep your gardens looking tidy.

With its safety features you can't go wrong with this device, and even though it does look like something from robot wars it does the job and saves you the hassle of moving a lawnmower about. The only downside is its price of 1,500.
