Sometimes a gadget comes out that makes you think “Why wasn’t that invented a hundred years ago?!” In this case it pretty much was, albeit not as an iPhone accessory.  What you’re looking at is the iVictrola – essentially a gramophone attachment for your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Apple announced their much-hyped tablet computer a few hours ago, dubbed the “iPad”.  It’s pretty much an oversized iPod Touch, down to the App Store lock-in and inability to multitask.

This new watch from Diesel is either meant for the constant traveler or the unashamed nerd, but who cares either way – it looks like a crazy device from the future!

Let’s face it, laptop cases are dull products.  Sure they might stop the screen cracking when you knock it about about a bit, but they’re hardly objects of desire. Enter the BookBook – a hardwearing case for MacBook and MacBook Pro which appears to have been hollowed out from an old leather-bound book.

This jaunty looking device is set to be the best media-streaming solution for non-geeks since the invention of the TV.  If you haven’t heard of Boxee before, it’s an all-in-one application allowing you to play your movies and music on your TV as well as access online content.

On sale now (in the US at least), the much-awaited Dell Adamo XPS has arrived.  There are two things that stand out here.  Firstly it is ludicrously, impossibly thin – just 9.9mm.  Secondly, whoa!  What have they done to that laptop?  Instead of a more conventional layout Dell have made a razor-thin keyboard which folds up into the screen to close.  Whether this is the shape of things to come or a huge mistake only time will tell.

Having featured the Case-Mate iPhone ID Case recently, and deciding that it solved a problem that other manufacturers seemed to be ignoring, I was surprised to find two more options in one day.  It seems that iPhone wallets are becoming big business, and I say that’s a good thing. 

As if there weren’t enough ways to spend well over 2 thousand dollars here’s another – a beautifully designed clock that features copper digits welded on to a bicycle chain that rotates around a gear to tell the time.

LaCie are no strangers to creating well designed computer accessories – from FA Porsche designed hard drive enclosures to brightly-coloured flat cables, they certainly seem to care about style as well as substance.  These new speakers, the Sound2, are no exception.

OK, so it may not be the ideal time of year to be investing in cooling devices, but you might want to put this on your Christmas list in time for next summer.  What you are looking at, strangely enough, is a fan – although not as we know it.
