Any self-confessed geek or gadget freak who is worth his salt will not bother denying that he is always on the lookout for new toys to play with. I am a gadget freak myself, and I admit that there are some new devices out there that I certainly would like to lay my hands on, if only to look cool. So count on me to spot some new items online and covet them if they look snazzy enough.

Here are a few stuff that I found neat while browsing Engadget.com:

• Gibson external storage. If you thought Gibson only sold guitars that are often found cradled, caressed and alternately bashed by rock stars and pop stars alike, think again. Early this year, they have launched their own USB 2.0 line of flash drives, aptly named Gibson Signature Series Les Paul. It has a capacity of 1GB and looks like a 1959 Les Paul Standard. Neat, huh? That does not stop there, though. Gibson also released a 500GB external HD with a Gibson logo on its side that glows quite nicely.
• Keyspan’s newly revamped TuneView remote. I love my music and I love it playing on my PC. But I sure as heck hate having to run to my PC just to adjust the volume or to tweak my playlist. Thankfully, the people at Keyspan probably got just as frustrated with the whole deal and came up with the TuneView remote. This baby can let you play with your PC or iPod within a 150-foot range and can be used with both the PC and the Mac.
• ASKA’s HD32F PCMCIA hard drive. We all need a good external hard drive to for us to tote along our files without any hassles whenever we need to go mobile. Some people may be wary about using PCMCIA slots, but they can still be handy if you give them a chance. ASKA released a pretty external hard drive that comes in either 20GB or 40GB that comes with a USB adaptor for those who really do not like PCMCIA slots. There is a catch, though: you have to order this gadget from Japan.
• Logitech’s Wave keyboard. You have got to admit that curves are always delicious, and the curves of Logitech’s newest Wave keyboard are indeed delectable. This keyboard comes in both the corded and the cordless variety, and it can be used with both the PC and the Mac. Another thing that makes this Wave keyboard special is that cushioned palm rest that lets your fingers pound the keyboard in full comfort. The keyboard also comes with a neat set of hotkeys that will allow loading of applications with a single press.
• The new iMac keyboard. No one is really sure if it is the real deal, but hey, if it exists or if it is a forthcoming product of Apple, I want it. I just love my gadgets as slim as they can get, and that new iMac keyboard is as slim as they come.
