This is first projection clock I’ve seen that has clearly nicked its design from the humble kitchen kettle. I don’t know why but the makers claim that this one is the ‘King’ of projector clocks, firing out a very bright analogue clock onto your chosen wall. At £70 it would want to be bloody amazing. […]

Dell’s Budget Blu-ray Laptop
Dell thinks people are the real winners now that the high-defintion (HD) war is over and to celebrate it’s launched a cheap Blu-ray laptop. As the company says: “The high-definition format wars are over – and you won” – excluding the unfortunate HD DVD adopters, that is. The new Inspiron 1525 with optional Blu-ray disc […]
A US company called PDASmart has launched a new battery for the iPod 5G 30GB player that promises to significantly extend your viewing and listening pleasure. The company claims that initial tests for the battery have yielded 48 hours of continuous music playing and a whopping 24 hours of video playback. For anyone with a […]

Teeny Tiny Bluetooth USB Adapter
Kensington’s tiny little Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter is now available in the UK, having been officially announced a couple of months back.

I like retro gadgets and this TV concept design by UK industrial designer, Tej Chauhan, for Humax is certainly striking. Love those curves. Known for making pocket-friendly LCD TVs and models with HDDs inside, this would be a real departure for the French TV maker. I thought HANNSpree had the market cornered in odd TVs, […]
Videogame Ratings Set For Overhaul
TV psychologist, Dr. Tanya Byron, has turned in her report for the government and is recommending a new ‘easy-to-use’ rating system for videogames. Of course, many feel that the big red ‘18’ on certain games should be warning enough for the dumb parents that buy them for their 10-year olds. Byron has suggested in her […]
What’s going on this week? First we had Plextor unveiling its new internal Blu-ray/HD DVD drives for PCs and now Buffalo has launched its own external combo drive. This Blu-ray & HD DVD Combo Drive is the company’s first external optical disk drive and it supports both read/write Blu-ray and read HD DVD formats. The […]
Using mobile phones on planes could become a reality for many travellers following a decision by the telecoms regulator, Ofcom, to allow for mobile communications on UK registered aircraft. The decision is great for travellers but flies in the face of current restrictions that seem to imply that using electronic devices on planes could interfere […]
