Some of us have or have had that laptop that is way too hot to just place on your lap. Either you feel like you’re in a sauna or it gets so burning hot it ends up scalding your lap. Even my MacBook doesn’t get super hot, but after a little while it gets to be a bit obnoxious.

It’s tough to think of a new concept in iPod speaker-docks; most of the more reasonable (and some of the ridiculous) shapes have been done, and you can opt for a tiny speaker that clips like a barnacle to the bottom of the PMP or a towering plinth of musical splendour. However UK firm Gear4 have gone for flexibility with their latest DUO system. While it may look straightforward, the front speaker section actually unclips from the main body of the DUO and, courtesy of a rechargeable battery, can be used as a portable speaker setup in the garden or anywhere away from the mains.
Not quite as cool as fitting a full NES console into one of the actual cartridges, FC Mobile’s portable NES console does actually let you play the games while on the move.
