Whilst the previously featured Nokia’s N810 pocket-sized touchscreen, in offering wi-fi internet access and integral GPS, is undoubtedly the perfect solution for those looking for full internet access on the move, it’s versatility is somewhat limited as far as anything other than internet access is concerned – however, this is not something that could be said of Jensen’s new WinXP powered Anyware NVX3000 Wi-Fi Tablet PC.

Some months ago we featured Microsoft’s new Sidewinder gaming mouse which comes complete with an inbuilt LCD screen and a range of features to assist in tailoring the mouse to your exacting requirements – from weights to adjustable resistance – and now, never ones to shy away from a battle themselves, we have this Cyborg Gaming Mouse from Saitek to add to our arsenal of PC gaming paraphernalia.

Once in a while we come across an idea for a gadget that has ‘smash hit’ written all over it, and this Availabot from Schulze & Webb, who plugs into your computer’s USB port and who stands up every time a particular contact becomes available via your instant messaging application - therefore alerting you to there online status - is a prime example of just such a gadget.

If you’re one of those people who really cannot envisage facing the world without your iPod secreted on your person but you are either looking to travel light or are getting a little fed up with rummaging around in your bag to skip that Spice Girls track your partner put on as a laugh (very funny) then this Sportsband Convertible for Apple’s new iPod Touch offers an extremely versatile solution.

Unfortunately, though we had great pleasure in being invited, we couldn’t make 3’s press event in London on Monday concerning their new Skype enabled cell phone which will allow users to make free calls to other Skype users but, with no less than four – see below - of their new SkypePhones presently on route to us you can expect a hands on review here on TFTS any time soon.

Having covered a couple USB based cassette tape to MP3 conversion gadgets (namely Plus Deck’s rather gorgeous external EX unit and their internal drive bay device) we now turn out attention to the often arduous task of transferring your vinyl collection to digital file format – and, whilst turntables with USB connectivity are widely available, this USB turntable with integral iPod Dock makes the process just about as simple as it can get.

As regular readers will know, at TFTS we tend to be rather nonplussed by ‘blinged’ out gadgets as, invariably, take the ‘bling’ out of the equation and what you tend to be left with is a gadget that, at best, is nothing to write home about in terms of spec or cutting edge functionality – and these Swarovski Amethyst encrusted DJ headphones are no exception.

Anyone old enough to find that shaving has long since lost its novelty value will remember when PCs were something that you tended to hide away under tables and desks on account of them offering the same degree of aesthetic appeal as a house brick (albeit a beige house brick) – but times have changed and, thanks to PC cases such as this, we’re increasingly happy to display them in our front rooms.
