    ....then you looked into it, only to find out it has already been done?

    How frustrating is that!!

    Every now and again a good idea creeps into my head, then i just get dissapointed!!

    a few examples:

    1 use Festival/travel toothbrush - plastic hollow toothbrush with toothpaste in the head, squeeze the handle and the toothpaste will come out where the bristles are. Then also the hollow handle will store a mouthfull of mouthwash.....TAKEN

    illuminated keyboard keys - The keys on your laptop are illuminated for easer use in low light conditions.....TAKEN

    LCD wallet - People like to keep photos in their wallet, so why not stick a 2" lcd screen in there so you can upload a load of photos on it......TAKEN

    I have plenty more ideas, some good, some long shots!, some not taken yet.....i hope.

    Anybody else come across this problem?

    Yeah it sucks, i wouldnt be putting these up here if they werent already in use.

    Most of my ideas are "gimmicky" but novelty sells i suppose.

    Think about positioning and price as well. Why do Butlers get to charge a premium for what is basically a coffee?
