Cheapgadget review

Price paid $7.18 (around £4) including delivery

Buying ultra-cheap gadgets is a great way of satisfying that craving for new toys on a limited budget. As it happens, I needed a headset, partly so I could evaluate the latest generation of speech recognition software, and partly for talking to friends in Ventrilo and Skype. The “Hyundai” HY-500MV stereo headphones with boom microphone, shipped direct from Hong Kong by DealExtreme, fitted the bill nicely.

HUMAX freeview TV recorder

Price: Around £130

Got a HUMAX PVR-9150T a week ago and it's proving to be a great bit of kit. It records TV, and only TV, and what a good job it does. I'll run down a few of the best features....

Jvc Ha-l50-B Lightweight Headphone review 

 

price paid £5 @ local sainsburys (marked half price)

 

 

Having tried a fair few headphones over the years I quite enjoy messing around with new ones, even if they are a lot cheaper than my current pair (Grado sr-60's). I was just browsing in my local supermarket (sainsburys) when I noticed these JVC headphones at half price. I thought they would be handy for my minidisk (or MP3 player if i ever get one).

Joby GorillaPod flexible tripod

Price paid £12.57 including delivery from CameraKing via Amazon

You’ve climbed the mountain, or found the one quiet spot on the beach, and you want a group photo - unfortunately, there’s nowhere secure to balance the camera, so you end up missing from the picture. This is the sort of situation the Joby GorillaPod is meant for – it’s a tripod, but with a difference, since its flexible legs can be wrapped around branches, or jammed into crevices, to allow you to take a picture literally anywhere.

Gerber Legend 800 multi-tool long-term review

Price paid around £65 from ebay.co.uk

Every geek really should own a multi-tool, just like every extreme sports freak should. A multi-tool is just as useful repairing computers in the server room or fighting your way into blisterpack products as it is repairing a Landrover in the Sahara or fighting off a giant squid. The multi-tool of choice for most has been the Leatherman Wave, but I decided to get the Gerber Legend 800 instead.
