This is described as a waterproof DAB radio. Certainly it is ideal for use in a bathroom or other damp environment. The shape is novel with inbuilt handle and for good measure the sound is good as well.

Not perhaps the best of bedfellows but not all the manufacturers from Dream Toys sent the requested items. So while I had everything planned for what goes well with what… such is life.

Accessing Freeview television and surfing the Web can be achieved with one device. That device is the iPlayer +.

More goodies from Dream Toys 2005, this week I have one item very definitely for children and another unit purporting to do more or less the same that will I feel be a hit with adults.

Having recently reviewed another such unit I immediately knew the difference between entry level and deluxe models, you do pay extra but you get so much more.

These two are remote control items one for use on water and one on land. However the good start in my previous review is not totally equalled here.

A TV that can run on 12 or 24volts as well as on mains, and a TV with both analogue and digital tuners built in.

The real things however need feeding, watering and in a lot of cases exercise. Here they are certainly low maintenance an occasional battery is all they need.

When recording your own audio input you should consider a quality microphone in order to get the best results.

Taking your entertainment with you is becoming increasingly popular. Take, for example, the iRiver PMP-120 device.

This is certainly the best Freeview adapter I have used, it is also the smallest, the easiest to setup and probably one of the cheapest, if case you are unsure I liked it.

Yes this is cheap ‘money wise’, however it is well constructed and gives a good clear crisp sound, for those entering the DAB market this could be a good starting point.

The annual show that tells the UK what the top selling toys will be this Christmas I paid my annual visit to this one day event this week, below is a summery of what I hope to tell you about in detail over the next few weeks.

If you have content, video, images or MP3 that you wish to view on your TV then this product could well be the answer.

A 17" LCD widescreen TV with built in DVD player for £329.00. Sounds too good to be true???

As a company Oregon Scientific like to be regarded as different while still opting for a stylish approach to the appearance of its kit.

A sub £100 DVD Recorder not so very long ago you would not have found many DVD players in that price bracket.

This looks like lots of larger CD/Cassette/FM/AM radio units of a few years ago, there is of course a bonus and that comes in the form of DAB.

Given that you are paying something for the name, and something for the novelty I suppose £49.99 may not be that much for a headset, oh did I say it has an integrated MP3 player.

This is big it is also heavy and the box it comes in would probably rate as deluxe accommodation by a homeless person. The main box does even contain the DVD player only it’s speakers and sub woofer.

This seems like quite a unique product. It is small yet produces a good depth and range of sound from built in speakers. If your musical tastes are not the same as others then it can be used with headphones.

This label tends to imply up market, the way things are put together, the offerings, in fact the label commands – and gets - a premium.

A lot of people cannot have a PC in the lounge because their other half is worried about the look, here is something that is thinner than a video or a lot of DVD players.

The popularity of DAB radios increase and currently if you take your old analogue radio in most retailers will give you a 10% reduction in the cost of a DAB unit in part exchange, the old unit is then refurbished and sent to Africa.

Ever wanted to go back in time to the 80's and all those great arcade games that didn't take a month of Sundays to play?

Ever thought of turning your computer into a home entertainment centre? Check out how the Pinnacle PCTV 200e fared.

This is a hard disc and DVD recorder/player but it also has the ability to do several other things. It should be an ideal piece of kit.

Digital Freeview television and radio on your computer sounds like a media junkie’s dream. However frustration and disappointment could follow.

Why restrict your MP3 player to just music? It could just as easily acts as a “talking book”.

Ever fancied being able to pull together all your media content from everywhere for viewing or listening on a TV? In theory the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200 can do this.
