Apple has won the hearts and minds of the world with its beautifully crafted nuggets of gadgety goodness, from the original iPod, the snazzy iMacs and the latest offering of the iPhone it seems they can’t put a foot wrong. The iPod Nano, now in its fourth generation, has been stomping all over the competition in the miniature media device market for some time, offering 8GB or 16GB of internal storage space, nine different colours to suit all tastes and a slim, narrow design that makes it the dinkiest iPod Nano yet. All of this of...

Apple are known globally for their computing and electronic products which put design and usability at the top of the list of priorities, and most people will know them for their iPod products which have gone through various evolutions over the past few years. Whilst the current generation of iPods have large touch sensitive screens and massive on board storage, there is still a strong market for the ultra-portable iPod shuffle, and with the third generation having been released in 2009 things have taken an interesting turn. Apple iPod...
One of the most appealing aspects of the iPhone, along with its range of features and iTunes compatibility, is its attractive form and ‘trend setting’ design (inspiring a range of inferior clones after launch). The downside of this is that you’ll want to keep the device looking as it did when you bought it, and the more shiny and attractive the product, the more easily damaged it can get. Therefore, a whole range of iPhone covers have come onto the market – some as attractive as the phone itself, some not –...
Short of being a co-founder of the most successful search engine in the world and booking a seat on the first commercial flight into space, zero gravity flights are the next best thing so that you can actually experience zero gravity. T3 and Sure for Men have partnered to offer an incredible prize worth over £10k. Winners get to stay in Vegas for 5 nights accompanied by a pot of £2,000 spending money (granted, that’s about twenty minutes unless you get lucky) and an incredible zero gravity flight. An editor’s choice award...
Gizmodo reports that Apple has applied for patents concerning the use of solar panels to charge their mobile devices. Gadgets are gradually turning to using solar in order to recharge their power – we reported last week on a solar charger for £25 but very few actually come with solar panels already fitted. The patents apparently also show that Apple intend to use the technology in a unique manner by placing the cells behind the LCD screen enabling them to continue offering the same, or similar, designs and forms to those already offered....
Aside from being based on one of the greatest movie characters of all time, the R2-D2 movie projector represents a serious piece of home entertainment kit. Artoo combines the features of a DVD projector with a DVD and CD player and an iPod docking station. It also offers an integrated speaker system with 2 10W speakers, a fully featured remote control designed like the Millenium Falcon, and sound and light effects similar to those belonging to the “real” R2-D2. The Millenium Falcon remote control can be used to move Artoo in any direction...
Gear4 is a truly great company that regularly releases new products for the technophile. They make some damn good speakers for mp3 players and PSPs (no, they haven’t suddenly offered us sponsorship although if they’re reading…). We recently reviewed the Bass Station – another great sounding speaker but it looked, to be frank, dull and unimaginative. In order to try and show off some of their better looking, or at least less dull, speakers here is the BlackBox. Compatible with Bluetooth phones (but not the iPhone without...
Do you listen to music when you go to bed? Do you ever wake your partner up with your music blaring? Do you wish you had a more comfortable pillow? If you answered yes to any of these questions then we may have found the gadget for you in the form of the sound asleep pillow. I was searching the Internetfor a comfy pair of earphones to wear at night when I stumbled upon this microfiber pillow with a built in 3.5 mm jack to plug your music straight into (whether that be ipod, mp3, CD or tv). I just had to try it! The sound asleep pillow...
There’s a mass of iPod speakers and speaker docks available on the market, making choosing the right one a seemingly difficult task. The Gear4 Bass Station is one of the latest to be released and despite its simplistic looks it packs a fairly incredible punch. It’s also not a particularly portable option weighing 3kg but that’s primarily because it combines an impressive 35W of sound output with a seriously capable 5 inch subwoofer hidden under the bonnet. Make no mistakes, the Gear4 Bass Station is unlikely to win any...
The Apple iPhone has been something of a phenomenon since its release. There’s no doubting its incredible looks and the existence of a touch screen that actually works as intended had many a technophile salivating at the very prospect of ownership. However, the £269 price tag was far from accessible for the majority. Partially in light of this, prices were reduced by £100 to a much more attractive £169. The end result is that both the providers Carphone Warehouse and the network O2 have indicated that they only have very limited...
