Cath Kidston is well known for her quirky floral styles and is a popular choice for celebrity clothing.

However, it seems she's not content with just conquering the clothing world, moving into the tech market too. She's teamed up with radio company Roberts on two occasions now to bring us DAB radio with style and we've been lucky to get our mitts on the newest limited edition.

Mobile broadband dongles have been around for a while now, going from a business buy to a household necessity.

Over the past year many deals have sprung up offering free laptops with mobile broadband contracts, which would in my eyes suggest that these are set to replace the standard wireless connection and work just as well.

I have been a bit slow on the uptake here preferring to use my trusty Virgin connection but after much consideration decided to bite the bullet and buy one of these genius gadgets.

I chose to try out a T-Mobile pay as you dongle, as the coverage in my area was good. It's easy to install and once you're set up, you ready to go. Or so I thought.

On my first day of use the device cut out more times than I could imagine, cue lots of calls to T-Mobile. The people on the other end couldn't see the problem and their first idea was to refresh my dongle. What this basically means is that you can't go online for half an hour.

But of course after this time the problem wasn't resolved, cue another call to T-Mobile, where I sat through an hour of usage and directions but with no result.

Now I'm sure if we can take this as admittance of failure but, by the end of the call, and after all routes were exhausted the technical guy apologised for the "shabby service" and told me I could be better off with another provider.

I've been advised to take the dongle back to the store and replace it with a 3 or Vodafone device. Not really something T-Mobile bosses would be happy to hear.

I want to make sure this problem isn't just happening to me so please leave your comments below and let me know if you have had any problems with your dongle provider.

Despite having written about HDTVs for a long time, and even compiling an in depth guide to buying one, I've never had my hands on one for longer than a week. This all changed when LG delivered the delightful looking LG 42LH5000 to my house to my (and my flatmates) unequivocal delight. But once I'd unpacked it from its mounds of bubble wrap and peeled off the stickers would I find it a joy to use, or would the manual be more complicated than the Gaza peace treaty?

Read on to find out about my experiences with it.

Way back in March I told you all about 5 new sporty models from Sennhesier and I've been dutifully putting the PMX 80 Sport 11 through its paces to see if it can stand up to the rough and ready confines of my gym bag plus the large amount of acidic sweat that's an inevitable part of sports 'phones.

Design

The words functionality over form springs to mind when taking a look at these hot orange headphones, as they're designed to be useful pieces of kit rather than super stylish accessories, But hey, they're sports phones, and what really matters here is that they can cope with my semi-strenuous workout schedule (and general disregard for headphone care). I like how they rest across the back of the head, as this means they're very secure when running, and the plastic band rests very comfortably and doesn't chafe. They're also designed to be sweat and water resistant and seem to stand up to prolonged workouts well.

I've been using these for a while and am so impressed by the sound quality and the amazing contoured ear buds that I just had to share my experience with you. I'm quite pernickety when it comes to headphone as I have quite a large criteria that's normally very difficult to fulfill, but the hf2's do a stalwart job of living up to my expectations.

Design

They come packaged in a rather large box, but once you've ripped it to shreds you're left with a small pouch to keep them in with a variety of extra ear buds in differing sizes. I've been using the red ones, and as you can see from the pic, they really resemble the promo shots. The metallic red is a nice dark colour, and you also get a handy clip attached to the wires- great for pinning the wires to your shirt whilst out and about.

The area of acne is a big business for skincare. Everyone from troubled teens to forty something's want to put the dreaded spots to rest, and are prepared to pay big bucks to do so. We've already seen the the Zeno hit the marketplace to tackle pimples with heat technology, but now there's a new kid on the block.

Say hello to the no!no! Skin, a pocket friendly device that works on your spots. It works in a similar way to the Zeno, using heat and light to target the blemish at its source and minimize its appearance and lifetime on the skin. It uses green and red light to reach into the pore to combat the blemish at its source. The light destroys the blemish whilst the heat speeds up the healing process, and reduces swelling.

Zara has been checking out the KP500, which is a full on touchscreen phone also known as the Cookie. And coincidentally, we're giving one away, so if you like what you see, click on over here to be in with a chance of winning one.

Able Planet's Clear Harmony Noise Cancelling headphones missed being involved in the headphone head to head, so we'll never know if they can block the sounds of someone chomping on a bowl of Rice Crispies, a loud and inconsiderate Dom Jolly type on his mobile or the beating of a cereal bowl with a metal spoon. But given the headphones I tested in the head to head battle were a previous pair of Able Planet headphones which were pretty impressive, and retailed for a fraction of a price, it was already clear these headphones were going to surpass it cheaper sibling.

So I had a little play around with them, blasting out a bit of Linkin Park and Britney Spears to put it through its paces. And I must say I was impressed with how well they muffled background noise and made me feel as if I was in my own little audio bubble, which is great for the music listening experience, but can be a bad thing in terms of making you oblivious to everything on around you (so you must keep your wits about you).

Duncan, Lucy and Zara get cosy on the two-seater sofa, to test out the best in noise isolating and noise cancelling headphones. There's rice crispies, obnoxious phone calls and science goggles. We do things properly here at Shiny Towers.

Ebooks are a natural progression for us 21st century folks, who dislike being tied down by clutter. They're light, easy to use and can store sh**loads, but which one would you want to spend your moolah on? We take a look at the four market leaders, and include the USA ones as well (hey it's a good exchange rate).

The latest PMP from Archos has won serious acclaim from a variety of reputed press. But just why is this sleek 5 inch PMP getting all this praise? I think it's so impressive I even put the 7 inch version on my wishlist, so I'm sure you're dying to know all about it now. Normally we'd show you it in video form but due to a rather shoddy wireless Internet connection in the office I'll take you through the pros and cons the old fashioned way.

Full disclaimer: I've just moved house, and the thought of a house without internet fills me with The Horror, so when Virgin offered me one of their fancy new USB dongles to review, I jumped on it. And it seems I'm not the only one - fixed line broadband connections are dropping in the UK, perhaps in favour of the increased flexibility of being about to connect over the HSDPA network.

Here's the second part of my Blackberry Storm review, including lots of lovely shots of things like the keyboard and the camera quality. I know you've been waiting on the edges of your seats, so no doubt you'll be relieved to finally find out whether I'm going for a Storm or an iPhone at the end of the video. You'll sleep so much better tonight with that knowledge.

Finally! Finally the Blackberry Storm has arrived, and you can directly attribute my slight breathlessness in this review to my excitement. Here's my first impressions of the phone, with a more in depth review coming tomorrow.

E-books are still a topic that manage to enrage the nation. Half are for, half are against, and most feel the price isn't justified. But is either side right? And if you take into consideration the price of an average book, surely paying a one off fee for an e-device that comes with literally thousands free to download isn't such a bad deal? I've been road testing the BeBook, and can now present to you my findings. And it's love.

It's an amazingly lightweight (220g) portable device that slips easily into any bag, and nestles contentedly within its leather-bound cover. It can store up to 1000 books on its 512MB memory, and so far I've got around 300 on it. Should you go over this, there's an SD card slot to upload even more, and you can walk around with your whole library on you- something a voracious reader like me really enjoys. Now I can flick through old classics on whim, as well as add new books whenever I desire.
