Shiny Review: Paper Show

So, this is weird. It's a notebook full of paper, which will allow you to both write on it using the pen provided, and have it simultaneously appear on a computer screen or presentation board. It's also very difficult to explain - have a look at Zara and all will become clear. SurvivingMeetings.com

Six way charger – perfect for those who own six very specific gadgets

Packing for holidays now involves allocating an entire suitcase compartment to all the various chargers required by your cameras, phone, MP3 player and the rest.

Pictures of possible new iPod Nano, courtesy of Kevin Rose

Kevin Rose has a habit of claiming to have the latest secrets from Apple, from iPhones to iPods. This latest has more credence than most, since it fits with previous rumours, and comes with pictorial 'evidence'. The picture is supposed to be of the new iPod Nano, which he predicts will land in the next…

Shiny Gallery: Shiny on tour – Japan/Hong Kong

I've just returned from a trip to check out the latest of Epson's home projectors, which I'll be telling you all about as soon as I'm allowed. In the meantime, I can share with you all the exciting tourist moments I had whilst over there - the tower from The Dark Knight, odd Tokyo signage,…

Here's a look at the new classic phone from Nokia, which stacks up surprisingly well against some more advanced Nokia phones. But who's that on the sofa? Why, that's New Boy Duncan, who has joined Tech Digest recently. Expect his appearances in the future. Nokia 6220

Asus Eee PC available in two new colours

It says a lot about the desirability of the Eee PC that a couple of new colours really does seem to constitute a genuinely exciting news story (or maybe I'm just drunk on tiny laptop goodness). The cherry red 901 and the purple 900XP models don't appear to offer anything extra other than their colour.…

Voice Stick – reads text out loud to you

Why did no one think of this sooner?! It's a text reader for blind people. You run it over any text you want to read only to have it read aloud to you by the kindly Voice Stick. It's a concept device, but the concept seems pretty sound, utilising scanning technology and text-to-voice engines to…
