This is another device I would look to buy. It is a SlimEx Onyx 40GB USB HDD. It weighs less then 3 oz and measures just 3.9″ x 2.4″ x 0.4″ which is small enough to comfortbly carry around in your pocket. It is a USB 2.0 device which gives it a nice fast transfer rate. It does not require drivers as it’s a plug and play device and has a nice magnesium alloy casing making it tough against a few knocks here and there (although I do not recommend that :))

Something different here then the usual MP3 players, toys and other crazy stuff we write about.
The LED plant pot… or “Roma-by-Night DecorLight” as it’s more commonly known as, is a remote controlled plant pot that glows a nice ambient colour in the garden to give a little light to the place. It has 20 different programs for how the colours work and is controlled by you with the remote control from the comfort of your garden chair. Impress the neighbours and have the best garden in the street with these 🙂

Wow is what I say to this one. 4GB in one small SD sized card. Who would have thought that this was possible 10 years ago? The 4GB SDHC from Toshiba. SDHD is a high capacity SD card which unfortunatly is not too compatible with current readers. Shame… but still worth shelling out for a new device hey?? 😀
It has a minimum write speed of 4MB/s and will eventually come with capacities of up to 32Gb.

Ok, it had to be done. XTremeMac have launched the Superman version of it’s iPod case and I can see this one selling really well which is just in time for the new movie release. It covers the whole iPod and yet allows all the controls to still work. I wonder if it’s made of bullet proof lycra/spandex?? Who knows. Anyway, there are 2 versions out… the case for the 30Gb and case for the 60Gb iPods and it retails for just $30.

Sony have increased the capacity of their MP3 player to 8GB. The NW-A1200 takes just 2 hours to charge and runs for a nice 20 hours. It has the usual sleek looks with the hidden screen which shines through and looks as though it’s floating on the surface of the player “tech name of electroluminescent display”. 🙂
