We at MyGaming are fans of trinkets, gadgets, knick-knacks and novelty items, but there are some gadgets that are just plain pointless, and end up costing you more than\u00a0benefiting.<\/p>\n

Smart Glove Touch Glove for iPhone \u2013 R150.00<\/h3>\n

How lazy do you have to be to not remove your glove if it\u2019s obstructing your fingers?<\/p>\n

This Smart Glove Touch Glove for iPhone is made from \u201csecret conductive material\u201d that is woven into the forefinger, middle finger and thumb of the \u201cstylish\u201d gloves.<\/p>\n

Mi Train Journey \u2013 R350<\/h3>\n

If sitting around on a train is not boring enough for you, you can now take the experience home.<\/p>\n

The Mi Train Journey offers \u201call the mystery and thrill of rail travel without the tedium or expense of actually sitting on a train\u201d.<\/p>\n

But wait, you don\u2019t get any pre-loaded scenery with your purchase; you\u2019ll have to \u201cfilm a journey on your smartphone or download someone else\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sounds fun.<\/p>\n

Black diamond iPhone Mood Lamp & Docking Station \u2013 R643.08<\/h3>\n

You may have seen a lot of these type of docks, but don\u2019t be fooled, this one doesn\u2019t have any speakers.<\/p>\n

It is merely a mood lamp. All you have to do is download the app and select your lighting preferences, pop your phone in the dock, and boom \u2013 sub-par LED lighting effects.<\/p>\n

Powerplus Marlin Salt Water Powered Car Kit \u2013 R265.00<\/h3>\n

Playing with toy cars is awesome, but requiring more effort than running a real car is not something you want to associate fun with.<\/p>\n

The Powerplus Marlin requires salt water and fuel strips to work, and while the technology is impressive, mixing up some salt water, plus getting more fuel cell strips could become a parent\u2019s nightmare.<\/p>\n

Car Emoticon & Message LED Display \u2013 R995.00<\/h3>\n

If driving isn\u2019t dangerous enough, how about giving you another overpriced distraction to put alongside your cellphone.<\/p>\n

The Car Emoticon and Message LED display bundle comes with a watch and small LED display.<\/p>\n

The display is attached to your back window, and the watch controls the images or messages displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n

All you have to (try) to do, while driving, is press the small and near-unreadable buttons on the watch to signal other drivers.<\/p>\n

Is there an emoticon for negligent driving?<\/p>\n
