Moverio BT-100
TVs are cool if you have other people
living in your house and you all want to watch Justin Bieber music videos
together. But if you’re a loner, it’s easier to just use a mobile viewer, like
this one from Epson. It runs Android 2.2 and projects up to a (perceived) 80in
screen size. It also works with 3D, has a 6-hour battery life and supports
microSD memory cards. You’re still a loner, though.

VideoWave II
What? Bose makes TVs? Well, evidently
enough, they do. Also, they’ve done this before, so if you didn’t know of the
VideoWave I, then shame on you. Do some tech homework. Start by reading every
word of this magazine. Anyway, the Bose VideoWave II comes in 40 and 46in sizes
and combines an HD display, home-theatre system and music system into an
all-in-one entertainment package. You can also connect up to six devices,
including Blu-Ray players, iPods and gaming consoles, to name a few. Next
birthday present to self: decided. We’re still ashamed of you, though.

Trooper
multimedia speaker
Got a good reason, for taking the easy
way out... What does a Beatles song have to do with
this futuristic-looking speaker? We’ll tell you. Firstly, it’s a big teaser,
it took us half the way there- there isn’t much going for it other than its
looks. Neodymium drivers and a built-in FM radio barely stand out in the spec
list. It took us so long to find out, and we found out!
Raymond Weil Nabucco Intenso - Intensive

Weil Nabucco Intenso
The Swiss are an annoying bunch, because
their timeliness makes the rest of us look silly and slouchy. All their trains
run on time, all their clocks are tuned accurately down to the second and as a
result, all their watchmakers get to ride on their success. The Nabucco Intenso
is one such precision timepiece. The 43mm diameter of the dial keeps things
compact, while the analogue chronograph should help in the accuracy department.
Fancy.

Your budget Android tablet has more
computing power than all of NASA in 1969. Yet, while NASA chose to shoot a man

can’t stop you, so here - the IRA Comet from Wishtel has a 10.1in screen,
1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM and runs Android 4.0, all at a very down-to-earth

too many cupcakes and butter chickens and now it’s all collecting in the form

in style. Get the Cross Personal from Technogym, which uses its elliptical
trajectory to give you an impact-free full body workout. It’ll also look pretty

S56 Ultrabook
Ultrabooks are the future of computing
because of superior design elements and improved ergonomics that... oh,
bollocks. Here’s the truth: Ultrabooks are cool because they’re light, slim and
easy to carry about without embarrassing you due to poor performance. Here’s a
new ultrabook from Asus, which has a Core i3 processor, 15.6in HD screen and
500GB hard drive, which makes it pretty neat. Neat!

Xperia Tipo
We’re not sure if Sony is trying to
convince people that their latest phone is the King of Mysore, but it sure
seems that way. Anyhow, the smartphone in question is an interesting-looking
device. It’s dual-SIM enabled with a dedicated hardware key to switch the
active SIM, and also runs Android 4.0 with 512MB of RAM. Not bad, but why do
you want to call it Tipo???

Jembe
In keeping with the assumption that all
African things are exotic and deserve to be looked at with utmost awe and
respect, JBL have decided to launch some fancy new desktop speakers that look
like African drums and name them something cool like ‘Jembe’. Apart from
looking very village-y, they also plug into a 3.5mm jack and produce audio for
all your world music tracks. We go jembe jembe all day, you feel it?
