Crypt-a-Cell.

GSM Crypt-a-Cell. Just how paranoid are you? Enough to clip this tacky encryption dongle onto your mobile phone? No, thought not. Oh, and did we mention the other party needs one on their handset too? Or that it only seems to work on old Sony Ericsson phones? Pfaff, at £646.25 it’s probably cheaper and easier to just learn Klingon.  The Crypt-a-Cell is designed to encrypt, to military level, outgoing and incoming, voice communications over the GSM network, by creating an encrypted communications channel…

Swap Simple.

Swap Simple. A rather interesting  online swap shop for books, video games and DVDs. What’s interesting is that you can start ordering immediately you join, although you’ll have to be honest if you don’t want to get ‘fined’ by the service for non-delivery. [Thanks Danny]  List the books, DVDs, or video games you no longer need. At the time you list them, SwapSimple figures out their current market value, and instantly awards you Trade Credits in that amount. You can then…

Mr Soccer Robot Football.

Mr Soccer Robot Football. Not really much more to add, is there? £14.95.  The idea is to manoeuvre your dribbling droids around the pitch via a nifty transmitter. Using the controller’s forward, reverse, left, right and shoot buttons the object is to score more goals than your opponent. Yes, we know that’s flippin’ obvious, but judging by some recent international performances we thought it was worth reiterating.
