StairMax is the world’s first stairclimber for standard wheelchairs
One of the huge problems facing people confined to wheelchairs is how to navigate their way up and down stairs.

Read MoreVerilux CleanWave Sanitizing Portable Vacuum turns you into a bug killing Ninja
Bugs. We all hate ’em. They mess things up, create a stink, discolor stuff and generally don’t behave like responsible citizens ought to. Sure they’re useful for degrading old trash and the occasional therapeutic act of kindness like creating penicillin, but apart from that they really need to be put in their place. In our ever so humble opinion.
Read MoreImpressive KBTalKing Pro Bluetooth Keyboard works with up to 10 devices at once [Review]
There are few things more boring in tech than computer keyboards, right? Dull, grey clacky products which typically feature all the charisma of a dead halibut. However every now and then we’re surprised by one of these things, at which point we sit up and take notice, which is what happened with this impressive and versatile new Bluetooth keyboard.
Read MoreRumbaTime Perry Go lets you check in and cash out
We foresee a time in the not too distant future when all things will incorporate more than a single function. No longer will we just use a fork, but it will be a digital thermometer too, to warn us if our food is too hot. Our shoes will include pedometers, our hats barometers.

It’s that time of the year again, where we in the West indulge our passion for all things festival. Music, arts, culture, you name it and we’ll hold a people’s gathering to celebrate it. The problem is, some of these events can be huge, which means not just crowds of bodies clamouring for the best view of the action, but during weekend events acres of tents and assorted living places jostling for position in anonymous chaos.

As a full blown helicopter parent, there’s no way you can put a price on keeping connected with your offspring. Who knows what they could be getting up to, out there in the wilds all alone. Never mind the bands of roving Justin Bieber fans, itching to snatch up the last remaining sanity of our loved ones, there’s also teh new mobile internets, which gives them far too much access to local pizza joint information for their own good.
Read MoreJabra Sport Bluetooth Wireless Headset untethers your musical and phone call enjoyment
It’s a fact of life that no matter how cool or useful the technology, or how good looking the design, we all want more. Take music headsets for instance. These little marvels manage to convert digital signals from our mobile phones and MP3 players into lush sounding musical tones, while sitting beautifully snuggly in our ear.
