Messless Gadget Charging

Guest Author — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:00:13 +0000

We’ve all got countless gadgets these days, whether it’s our mobile phone, iPod, digital camera, portable video player or some other device. If you’re like most people then you’ll have a collection of wires in the corner of the room where you plug in your various gadgets from time to time for recharging. In theory this works fine but in practice you end up with an unseemly collection of wires on the ground, all tangled together.

Well, now a solution to this problem is available. Yes, you guessed it. It’s another gadget, called the Messless Gadget Charge Kit. The idea is simple – do away with all the different chargers. Instead the Messless Kit has one charger, together with different adaptors to fit almost any device out there.

It’s a glass disc where you can plug into up to four gadgets at any one time, enough to keep even the most hi-tech individual satisfied. However, what really makes the device stand out from the crowd is its design. It has a sleek cutting-edge black design, making it a huge upgrade on an untidy collection of wires on the floor, and this was a large factor behind the Messless Kit picking up a Webuser Gold Award.

The Messless Kit also comes with six different adaptors, including those suitable for Nokia phones, iPods, iPhones and Sony PSPs.

MiLi Power Packs – The Rechargeable Cover For Your iPhone

Guest Author — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:20:41 +0000

Anyone who owns an iPhone knows just how great it is. The internet couldn’t be easier to use and there are so many apps to try out. However, where there’s something good there’s often a downside, and when it comes to the Phone the downside is battery-life. The apps really do have a habit of draining the battery life from your phone.

What’s the solution? Well, you could lug around batteries and chargers but it’s far from ideal. Instead, why not get your hands on the MiLi iPhone Power Pack. It’s a sleek protective case for your iPhone which contains a rechargeable battery. It’s made from tough durable plastic, allowing you to do away with any basic iPhone cover and instead get the MiLi Pack, the iPhone cover with a built-in recharger.

It’s an incredibly easy gadget to use. Simply charge it by connecting it to your computer via a USB cable (which is included) and then, once fully-charged, slot your iPhone into the MiLi Pack. How much does it boost your iPhone’s battery-life? A lot. It provides power for an incredible 390 hours on standby, 8 hours on the internet and 6.5 hours of chatting on your phone, and is available in two stylish colours – blue and black.

The MiLi Pack is also designed so that its power is drained first rather than that of your iPhone’s, so if you do remove your iPhone from the device then you can be sure that it’ll be fully charged. Perfect for those people who are always on the go.

The Eco-Button, an Energy Saving Device for PCs

Guest Author — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:00:23 +0000

We’re always hearing about global warming and the need to reduce the amount of energy we use, especially when it comes to the major culprits like driving or flying, but have you ever considered just how much energy your computer consumes when you’re not using it?

Well, it turns out that it uses quite a lot, certainly enough to make your carbon footprint significantly larger. This is where the Eco Button comes in, a great little device designed to cut down on your PC’s energy usage whilst it sits there idly.

It couldn’t be easier to use. Every time you leave your desk for a meeting, lunch or tea break, simply pop the Eco Button into your USB port. It ensures that your PC and monitor uses as little energy as possible in your absence.

However, this gadget doesn’t just rely on trust. When you return to your desk it tells you how many units of carbon you’ve saved, whilst also converting this into cash so you can see how this impacts on your bank balance. For the average user it equates to £50 a year – quite a significant saving over the course of a computer’s life. Plus you’ll be able to relax knowing that you’re doing your bit for the environment.

iTunes Vouchers

Darren — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 10:00:52 +0000

In the past, people would purchase their music on cassettes, then came CDs and everything changed. Then a company called Apple changed everything again, this time on a much greater scale. With the launch of the iPod, the way the world listened to music was changed forever.

Over time, Apple has developed this product more and more and through their content delivery service, iTunes, people can now download music, audio books, games, TV shows and films.

If you are looking for a simple gift ideas than an iTunes Gift Card could be the ideal gift. The gift cards don’t even have to be owned physically – they can be sent via email so the recipient can use them immediately. If you have forgotten somebody’s birthday then the iTunes gift card could certainly be the perfect item to send.

Personalised Monopoly Board

Darren — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:40:22 +0000

Everybody has heard of Monopoly, one of the biggest selling board games over the past 70 years! Monopoly is a game that can be played from around the age of 8 and features the buying of streets and properties in order to take control of all the assets.

Rather than digging out the same game that everybody else plays, why not get your loved-one a custom, made-to-order Monopoly board direct from the official Monopoly factory? Hasbro have given players the opportunity to purchase this fantastic gift for their friends/relatives to give a truly unique Monopoly experience.

Everything from the title of the board, the names of the properties, names of stations and the artwork (to an extent) and be modified to suit your requirements. I would have liked to have been able to customize the ‘chance’ and ‘community chest’ cards individually but the options available will still allow you to create a unique game.

My Monopoly is available to purchase exclusively from Firebox.com. When you purchase My Monopoly you will receive a voucher which can then be redeemed for the board game and will allow you to choose your custom options. At £79.99 this isn’t the cheapest of gifts, but it will be sure to put a smile on the recipients face and each time it is played, they will remember it was from you.

Sudokube

Darren — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:15:43 +0000

What would happen if two of the most addictive puzzles the world has ever seen decided to have a child? Presenting, the Sudokube. A cross between the ever-popular Rubik’s Cube and a Sudoku puzzle, the Sudokube can provide hours of enjoyment (and frustration) to even the most hardcore of puzzlers.

The Rubik’s Cube, originally developed by a Hungarian waiter, has sold in excess of 300 million units globally. The challenge is to rotate the cube until all six sides contain just one colour each. The Sudokube adds an extra challenge by requiring each side to contain the numbers 1-9. The puzzle isn’t complete until all six sides contain all nine numbers.

For anybody who enjoys puzzles of any sort, the Sudokube will be the perfect gift. I actually bought one for my father last year and he loved it. As a child, having seen him ‘borrow’ my Rubik’s Cube for hours on end I knew that this gift would be ideal.

The Sudokube is available from Prezzybox at just £5.95 (plus postage).

TomTom Start Sat Nav System

Darren — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:00:55 +0000

When lost in a car, the vast majority of men would rather not ask for directions. It would seem we would rather spend the time and find our own way. The reason? Pride! Relying on somebody else telling you where to go is not a ‘manly’ thing to do. This was the case before satellite navigation systems (Sat Nav’s).

The TomTom Start Sat Nav System is the perfect item for a novice technology user. It has been built to be very easy to use and includes full maps for the UK and Republic of Ireland. The EasyPort mount, that attaches your Sat Nav to the window, folds into the unit allowing it to be easily carried rather than left in the car to be stolen.

One major advantage of the TomTom Start is the IQ Routes system, which can be helpful to avoid ‘rush-hour’ traffic by suggesting alternative routes depending on the time of day. Although the IQ Routes system is available, this Sat Nav does not allow the user to choose to avoid motorways or toll roads on their route like the higher priced models do. This could prove to be a problem to new drivers or those who are uncomfortable with motorway driving.

The TomTom Start is also customizable, with a variety of skins and bags available, however these are not provided along with this package.

If you are looking for a gift for somebody who isn’t very good with gadgets but would benefit from owning a satellite navigation system, then the TomTom Start is most likely the best starting point. At just £79.99 (with free postage) it falls in line with the price of lower quality brands, yet still holds on to what makes TomTom a market leader.
