The Philips Tapster combines Bluetooth with touch

The key feature about Philips new Bluetooth headset (also known as the SHB 7110) is evident in the name- the Tapster. It features ultra sensitive touch and tap controls, which allows you to answer calls, and change the volume, and removing the device automatically transfers the call to your mobile. It's all about having a…

Philips Net TV provides optimized YouTube watching from your sofa

Everyone is getting involved in net/TV combos nowadays, and it seems Philips are next up to the stand. After the proliferation of web enabled TV's we saw at CES 2009, Philips better have something good up their sleeve. They're competing with Sharp's enabled range and Samsung's collaboration with Yahoo, so what tricks are Philips planning…

All the DJ's in the house say "OW" – the Samsung Beat DJ has arrived

Look, it's a mini touchscreen jukebox, or rather, it's Samsung's beauty of a handset - the M7600 'Beat DJ'. As it's a touchscreen handset paying homage to those masters of scratch, it features a turntable-esque user interface, which you will have to spin for navigation. Let's just hope it doesn't take the same vigorous spinning…

Shiny Preview: Canon's new Powershot range

Whilst I was drooling over the gold IXUS, Dan was getting all hands-on with the new Powershot range. There's dizzy highs and crushing lows, from the impressive zoom to the irritating poppy uppy flash thing, to some wonderful rock-climbing specific features. Handy. Check it out below.

Retro classic Scandiphone

Landlines are now generally acknowledged to only be useful to parents, and that now quite annoying couple in the BT adverts (Will they? Won't they? Ah, the modern and yet still incredibly dull family dramas). Having said that, the Scandiphone makes me almost tempted to tether myself to a phone socket. Originally popular in the…

The Slicer – the only way to sled in summer

Did you miss out on all that sledding action a few weeks ago because you were one of those unfortunates who's journey to work wasn't badly affected by the white stuff or you were equipped enough to work from home? It sucked, didn't it? But never fear, there is still a way to have some…

Solar powered batteries aren't as good as they sound

Having batteries die on you at a crucial moment is right up there with going to the fridge only to find there's no milk for your cuppa, or getting to the cash point and realising it has no £10 notes, only £20s during financially hard times. The SunCats however, have been designed to alleviate your…

The GoGear Ariaz makes premium audio quality affordable

The Ariaz MP3 player features Full Sound technology which delivers…

Jewel Rose flash drive. Just yuck.

I suspect these crystal rose USB necklaces are the result of Argos' favourite jeweller, Elizabeth Duke, bumping into Mr Brando somewhere in a hotel bar, where they spent the night hammering sambuca, before stumbling off into the night vowing that they would be friends forever. If Destroyed Still True (for those not familiar with IDST,…

Kitty shaped USB drive to store those memories

You wouldn't expect a cat shaped USB drive that appears to be cheerfully relieving itself in a USB port to retail for $81.75, but this one does. Does it do anything more than store data you ask? Does the tail automatically rise up when it senses it's about to be inserted in a USB port?…
