It’s not often we have to wear protective goggles when testing out a new gadget, but then this isn’t your average laser. Wicked Lasers specialize not in the basic presentation pointer you might have hanging from your keychain, but in incredibly high-power lasers with astronomy, entertainment and, yes, military use. The Spyder II [...]
These curvaceous and futuristic Micropod speakers from Scandyna look oddly familiar; in some way, the Kevlar drives and tube enclosure tweeter reminded me of the legendary B&W Nautilus 800 series speakers. I kid you not, the original pod speakers were in fact developed by the team behind the World-renowned Nautilus, but it was later licensed [...]
It’s a difficult time to be a PC case manufacturer.

Celebrity endorsed products are big business but, while it may sound cynical, we tend to wonder whether the product would stand up on its own without the big name attached. So when the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones came in, a collaboration with Monster Cable, you can assume we were very sceptical indeed. The promise [...]
When it comes to appearance, you can either go with a distinctive frame (such as Samsung’s recent ‘Touch of Color’ sets) or one that attempts to slim down to the point of invisibility. The LT-46148 goes with the latter route, and is all the better for it; there’s a mere 3/4-inch at the top [...]
T-Mobile’s Sidekick is one of the heavyweights in the text-messaging realm for young and socially connected consumers. Today T-Mobile introduces its latest Sidekick, the Sidekick 2008.
