Celebrating the coolest & most useless
stuff on the web!
Gadgets, gizmos, toys... stuff.
Whatever you choose to call it we just can't get enough.
However, here at Pointless... but cool you won't find the latest iFad or home IMAX system.
That stuff is far too mundane and practical for us. The gizmos we love are those who's main purpose is simply to be coveted.
Pointless... but cool is a celebration of the weirdest, coolest and least useful stuff we can find on the web.
If we want one, but don't quite know why then it makes the site.

R2D2 Video Projector
This R2D2 replica (1/2 scale) is fully remote control; you can move him in any direction, rotate his head and even tilt him backwards, has all the usual realistic sounds and lights but is also a video projector that can show your video etc. onto any wall (or ceiling) with max screen size of up to 80 inches. With 20W of integrated stereo speakers, the sound ain't too bad either.
The R2 unit is more than just a video projector, it is a full blown multimedia player. It has an integrated DVD and player and ports to connect external devices such as memory cards, USB flash drives and even an integrated iPod dock in a hidden compartment on the front of Artoo’s body.
Fully motorised and with built in sensors to stop it going over the edge of stairs and to prevent it's legs getting tangled, the Artoo unit is control by a remote unit modelled on the Millennium Falcon, that also controls all the video and audio functions and iPod to boot.
Approx. Dimensions: 52(H) x 34(W) x 33(L) cm
This R2D2 unit is 'A feisty little one' that's for sure!
I'm of to get a Princess Leia custom and a video camera to film me pleading for help to old Ben.
Cost? 2000 of your Earth pounds
