LG next on the list to join in the 12 megapixel race

Forget size zero - 12 is the new 8 don't you know. That's exactly why LG has vowed to compete with Sony Ericsson Idou and Samsung's ostensible 12 megapixel handsets, by vowing to release a 12 megapixel smartphone before 2009's 365 days are up. LG realises that it needs to keep up the megapixels in…

Mini Fender guitar lamp for a bit of RAWK before bedtime

Some people can't bear to be away from their beloved guitar strumming games for too long, otherwise in comes the withdrawal symptom shakes and the foaming at the mouth. So how do you alleviate this clearly problematic dilemma? You could get the Guitar Hero Carabiner, or purchase the Air Guitar Rocker to help you overcome…

Take a trip down Nintendo nostalgia lane with the Wii

Last year, this nostalgic wonderment appeared on the market for modern gamers with an old skool heart. Sadly, its availability only stretched as far as Japan, which to be honest was a little unfair - they get everything, our eager western hands get nothing (well that's not entirely true)! But now, thanks to the global…

The Xbox 360 Elite could be getting a red facelift

Ahh the colour red - it's the shade of the devil (allegedly), the most emotionally intense colour, the colour of love and is supposedly the first colour perceived by man. Now, possibly joining this fascinating list of red connotations is Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite. All it took was one leaked screenshot from a Toys R…

Making calls on an aeroplane a reality thanks to Ryanair

Much like the downfall of Chris Brown's career/record sales/radio plays, we knew in-flight calls were coming and would soon be at the forefront of the in-flight agenda. And beating all other European airlines to the punch is Ryanair, who has started a six month trial on 20 of its planes allowing its passengers to call…

iPod Nano 4G + iTrip = wireless music on the road

Who wants their in-car playlist dictated to them, with the interruption of vociferous radio DJs interrupting every ten seconds? Not me that's for sure. Now iPod Nano 4G owners can finally join the rest of their brethren in the radio/iPod mashup arena by *finally* being able to listen to their iPod playlists via their FM…

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…

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…

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?…
