The Nokia Prism's back in flip form
When the Nokia Prism materialised just over a year ago now, all sorts of Nokia fun phrases were thrown our way, most notably being - ''unique laser-etched designs' and 'intriguing light effects'. But now, it has emerged the phone with skin akin to Kryton of Red Dwarf, has a clamshell sibling with the same itchy/skin-crawling/…

Hello Kitty and Family Guy's Stewie get interactive with every key stroke
Those momentary bouts of office monotony would be sorted with the Hello Kitty and Family Guy USB IZMO's. Like most USB peripherals, you have to install the included software, and then connect your desktop pals to your PC to interact with your computer. One hooked up, they'll respond to your key strokes with about as…
Asus unveils the most powerful Eee netbook of them all through the medium of Facebook
Rather than come accompanied with the usual lengthy and tediously dull press release, news of the latest little lappy to join the Eee dynasty - the 1000HE - crept up on the official Asus Eee PC Facebook group, where it's available for pre-order.

It's just what you've been waiting for! A whopping 12 megapixels have been crammed into this upcoming phone from Samsung, which means you'll be able to turn those pictures of your mates in the pub into billboard sized monsters. Useful.

The Tube isn't just a silly name after all… it's a dance move
What's in a name? Well, unlike the famous words uttered by Juliet, there's a lot of meaning in the name 'Tube' given to Nokia's latest touchscreen handset.

Elton John's tantrums, tiaras and iPod Nanos
I like to think that if Elton John and I ever found ourselves in the same All Bar One, we'd strike up a conversation and get on like a house on fire. And then, just as he was leaving to get to McDonald's before it shuts, he'd throw me a box which featured a full…
Keychain breathalyzer gives you the green light to drive
Despite what the 'Want Respect Use a Condom' campaign dupes you into thinking, you can't erase your poor judgement by rewinding time.

Sony Ericsson's bubblegum flavoured Walkman phone rips CD via jack
What do you give a Walkman phone with the ability to rip music directly from CDs via the 3.5mm jack? A whopping amount of storage space to help you take advantage of all that ripping? You'd think so, right? Well, Sony Ericsson's given its Premier 3 Walkman phone a maximum storage capacity of 2GB, which…
Play Street Fighter on YouTube. Yes, really
Apparently YouTube games have been around for a while, but this is the first I've ever played and I'm extremely impressed. Quite how Paul Boivin has managed to embed workable links into a video is beyond me, but the fact that this is a workable enjoyable game is pretty cool. OK, it might not be…
