HOTTEST GADGETS
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple has brought its cutting-edge, multi-touch technology to the humble mouse. By scrolling, flicking and swiping across the smooth, pebble-like surface of the mouse, you can not only move the cursor around the screen but also quickly and easily carry out complex gestures, such as scrolling through web pages, selecting songs from iTunes and whizzing through photos.
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini
The original Zeppelin, a beautifully designed elliptical iPod dock, was lusted after by many but out of reach for most because of its hefty price tag. Its little brother, the Zeppelin Mini, lacks the sleek lines of the original device, but offers similarly excellent sound quality for substantially less cash. Its best feature is the FlowPort, a system that allows the bass to swirl freely around, creating a rich, powerful sound.
Price: £299 (bowers-wilkins.co.uk).
Sonos ZonePlayer S5
Sonos makes some of the best home music streaming devices on the market, and this clever, entry-level system is built to wirelessly stream music stored on your computer. It can also access internet radio stations and stream music from subscription services such as Last.fm and Napster. The S5 is incredibly good-looking, too, and is fitted with an iPhone and iPod dock. Further units can be added around the home, giving you music wherever you go.
Price: £349 (sonos.com).
Q-Waves Wireless USB Data Kit
The Q-Waves kit helps you to turn peripherals such as printers, scanners and external hard drives into wireless devices, enabling you to access them remotely over your home Wi-Fi network. The device has a range of 10m and is capable of connecting to multiple peripherals. Compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Price: £69.99 (amazon.co.uk).
Retro gadget: Bush TV22 1950
It’s funny how fashions change. Today the idea of a television or radio with a moulded, 'wood effect’ plastic casing would be enough to reduce some people to tears. Oh the horrible, plasticy shame of it. But 60 years ago it was simply marvellous, not least because it was cheaper than many of its predecessors, which came with real hardwood cabinets. This television was launched by the British radio manufacturer Bush in 1950 - a time of post-war optimism and huge technological strides. In style, it is something of a missing link between late art deco and mid-century grooviness. Technologically it was innovative: it was one of the first televisions to use the newly developed aluminised cathode ray tubes, which directed light from the picture out into the room, giving a brighter image. Sure, the screen was only 9in wide, but if you wanted a bigger picture you could buy a magnification screen attachment. And many did when they gathered around the TV22 to watch the Queen’s coronation in 1953
