Reading the times

Seiko E Ink watch

October 2006 | E Ink

Together at last

Dark Shadow MP3 Sunglasses

April 2007 | Nu-Australia

Some pairings, unlikely at first, can have an uncanny synergy - like maple syrup and bacon. Then again, others, while logical, can end up suffering the reverse Gestalt: the whole is less than the sum of the parts.


Mobile office

Nokia E61

April 2007 | Nokia

Nokia has made a reputation as an innovator in mobile telephony through its experimentation with a wide variety of unique designs. This innovation extends into its business range of phones, with devices such as the E series.


One for the road

HP iPAQ rw6828

April 2007 | HP

While devices like the BlackBerry and HP’s own iPAQ hw6965 are targeted at busy professionals, the iPAQ rw6828 is aimed at hip, tech-savvy users who want to extend their multimedia capabilities.


Tour de Lance

Trek Madone SSLx

April 2007

If you’re not sure which racing bike to invest your hard earned in, why not take some advice from an expert? Say, Lance Armstrong, record-holding seven-time consecutive winner of the Tour de France? Well, for his final winning ride in 2005 there was only one bike for him, and that was the Trek SSLx.


Green with envy

Creative Zen Vision:M

April 2007 | Creative

Non-nano

April 2007 | Samsung

You can more or less sum up the portable music player market with two categories: Apple and everyone else. And everyone else has its sights squarely set on Apple.

Nike+iPod Sport Kit

Now you can have more than just tunes in your ears as you run. The Nike+iPod Sport Kit links your shoes and iPod together to help monitor your progress as you run.


Pump up the volume

Altec Lansing iM7

October 2006 | Altec Lansing

Sure, we can now carry our tunes with us in our iPod, but we can no longer share them with those nearby like we did back in the 1980s. Well, the boombox is back, care of the Altec Lansing iM7.


Bass in your face

V-MODA Bass Freq modaphones

October 2006 | V-MODA

Bass has always been an issue with small in-ear headphones, but V-MODA claims to have sorted all this out with the Bass Fréq.


It came from the future

Intel mobile concept

October 2006 | Intel

I can see clearly now ...

Varilux Physio

Now the same wavefront technology that adjusts the lenses of telescopes to account for atmospheric aberrations can be used to create glasses that take into account the imperfections in your eyes.


Top shot

Nikon D2Xs

The Nikon D2Xs is the latest update to the already successful D2X, and will be a popular choice with photographers who have already invested thousands of dollars in Nikon professional lenses.


Direct to DVD

Non-nano

Samsung YP-Z5

September 2006 | Samsung

You can more or less sum up the portable music player market with two categories: Apple and everyone else. For a non-Apple portable audio player, the YP-Z5 is impressive, but can't quite trump Apple in terms of style and panache.
