The Sounds Of Science
Atomic Floyd is a result of a collective of top designers and technicians from
Nike, Adidas and Philips who all discovered they had a shared passion for
sound and music – and have spent years developing the perfect pair
of headphones. With such talent behind the reins, it doesn’t come as
a massive surprise that Air Jax are no ordinary headphones. Using titanium
and 24 carat gold to create the input jacks, every component within the headphones
is the best it can possibly be. Everything about them is uber stylized – even
the bag you will receive them in is made from treated foil to create the
ultimate in luxury experience from opening the package to listening.

The LG Renoir cameraphone
is chocablock full of features, with top-end specifications ranging from the
amazing 8 megapixel camera to the
pioneering Dolby Mobile speakers.
To help you make the most of the seriously cool Schneider-Kreuznach optics and
Xenon flash of the camera, there are loads of ‘creative shot modes’ to
help you shoot like Dirty Harry. These range from the helpful panorama, blink
or beauty shot to the freaky smile shot – which automatically activates
the shutter when it detects a smile. The DivX/Xvid video, GPS and touchscreen
are impressive whilst the JoggingBuddy is genuinely handy.

Close Encounters
With a name like
the Miidio UFO Vibro Speakers you’d be forgiven for being
more than a little confused about what it is these little gadgets do. In fact
after unpacking, loading it batteries and setting it up (surprisingly easy to
do I have to add) it took a while for the penny to drop. What they are is speakers,
and what they does is use the surface they’re placed as a speaker for your
music. Like a musical parasite, it will hook up to glass, plastic, wood and more
and use them as conduits for your favourite tunes from almost any music source
e.g i-pod, Mp3 player, laptop, PC etc. Genius idea, strikingly designed, generously
priced.
