The Chili 630X Wall Mounted DVD Player. Hah, a wall mount progressive scan DVD player at a Wal-Mart type price. With a strange brand name and presumably a head for heights. Perfect for flat screen TVs (geddit?) but alas not multi-region, tsk. £59.99.  The Chili style-630X is a DVD player with a retro design. A 5.1 and two digital outputs (coaxial and optical), as well as a progressive scan. It plays back all current formats without difficulties, even MPEG4 is…

The iiyama Prolite X486S flat screen LCD monitor is the only UK model to come with motion sensing technology which can tell when someone sits down in front and power itself accordingly. That’s definitely kind of cool in an eco warrior kinda way, although maybe we should start asking just how Star Trek we want our world to become? Or rather, how Cyberdyne? £249.00 + VAT.  The X series is a new breed of intelligent display from iiyama. The only…

The hyG Ionic Toothbrush. You’re intrigued I can tell. We too. Apparently a toothbrush which ‘breaks the ionic bond’ between plaque and our toothy pegs by reversing the polarity of the tooth surfaces. Seems a bit holodeck to us, but what do we know? Nothing that’s what. $29.95.  Use your new hyG as you would any toothbrush, with one important difference. When brushing, keep any moistened finger agains’t the ionic plate on the toothbrush handle. This will maximize ionic transfer of…

The Max Joy MP3 Player. Man, how could you not fall in love with a kid’s MP3 player called that? Especially since it’s all pretty colours and stuff and comes with SD expansion, OLED display, Koss headphones and a mic for recording stuff and stuff. And…shhh…don’t tell the little tykes, but the audio output is restricted to 60dB to protect their delicate likkle ears. Awww…Around £48.00.  Tough external stereo headphones by Koss are designed not to interfere with developing ears and…

Nope, you are so clearly not a geek of any substance unless and until you install a front door mat that says ‘Welcome’ in binary. No way. Jose. $39.99.  So, in a way, it’s a dual purpose device. Your UPS delivery guy is going to think it’s just a cool, funky, retro pattern. And he’ll be right. But your uncle from NASA will see that pattern as a collection of seven other patterns at which point he’ll quickly decode the…

The Centrios Cordless Phone and CD Audio System. Dude, if you’ve got to cram it in there, cram it in there. Know what I mean? Don’t just be sitting there happy with a cordless 2.4GHz handset and base station, throw in a dinky CD player, dual alarm clock and voice mail system. Then make it look a bit weird and charge me $199.99. Don’t worry. I’ll pay. Honest.  Choose from six selectable ring tones to make your phone sound unique….
