Five ultra-cheap outdoor gadgets reviewed

It’s that time again – feeling broke but needing a gadget fix, I headed over to dealextreme.com for some ultra cheap toys. As usual lots of things went into the basket only to be removed on the grounds of expense, uselessness or on a whim. This time my attention was on outdoors and “survival” equipment, and I managed to get five different items delivered to my door for around £7.50.

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.

The Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is the latest (and supposedly greatest) in Microsoft’s line of weird and wonderful keyboards that emphasise comfort. With a weird and distinctive split down the middle and angled boards, these keyboards are supposed to make typing faster, healthier and more enjoyable.

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....

Nine Inch Nails Concert Review

http://tour.nin.com/

When one thinks of Nine Inch Nails, they might think of an industrial hardcore blend of evocative and sometimes angry music. In fact, front man Trent Reznor has put together a comprehensive lexicon of sounds that at times transcends any categorical stereotype. With their last two albums being released exclusively online (Ghosts I-IV and The Slip), the Nine Inch Nails have dropped their most recent record label (Interscope Records) for their self owned Null Corporation and released their music under the Creative Commons License.
