Read MoreIcron WiRanger Wireless USB Hub – convenient computer cool
Icron’s WiRanger Wireless USB Hub is a great bit of tech by the looks of it, but at a pretty steep price. The product offers 4 USB sockets which are connected at USB 2.0 speeds via WiFi (802.11g) which makes for a very nice alternative to the usual cable tangle USB experience.

Read MoreZAP-X Electric Car – prototype the world
The ZAP-X Crossover Electric Car.

OK, so at least the company has a track record, but even so, allow me to be a little cynical when I read about recharging the batteries ‘in as little as 10 minutes…’ Sheesh!
