Drink Shots Gun
May 27, 2009
What is it?
The Shots Gun has taken the term “fancy a shot” to it’s literal limit. It is a novelty bottle stop that allows you to dispense booze in a highly entertaining manner. The shots gun works with all standard necked bottles and works on pumped pressure rather than triggered pressure. This means you can get a good steady flow of alcohol delivered to your tumbler. While not in use there is a small holster attached to the side of the stopper allowing you to neatly store your new weapon while allowing it to be easy to get at in case you get an itchy trigger fingerer.
Samsung LED TV (Series 6 & 7)
May 20, 2009
What is it?
It’s a TV! “That’s not a gadget” we hear you sigh, but when a TV is as clever as this Samsung LED TV, it most definitely is. At first glance we were taken by its stylish look. A large screen set into a glass look piano black frame always looks the part and when you put that on a crystal necked stand, it really is quite striking. But that aint new.
Once turned on the picture quality is most definitely High Def and runs at 100mhz, to help reduce that edge blur effect you get in big fast action sequences. But again, nothing new. It is pretty new and mighty impressive when you consider the screen itself is only 1.2” thick! Now things are starting to look up. On closer inspection we found out that this stunning beast also has a multitude of connection possibilities. These stack up to an impressive 4 x HDMI ports, 2 x USB ports, a DTV Tuner, wireless LAN and internet TV. Yup, we did say wireless Lan and internet TV. It comes in a 40”, 46” or a 55 and has been designed as a single moulded piece of tech (like the ipod). Oh, and apparently its “green” and has a much smaller “footprint” than other tellies.

What is it?
The very informatively titled Kelvin.23 is actually a pocket sized multi tool. “Nothing new, the Swiss and Leatherman have been doing this for year” we thought, but we looked a little closer. To start it has a flip out, magnetised screwdriver arm with 16 essential CRV screw bits.
Along side this it has a 2m/6ft tape measure, hammer surface (used for hammering stuff), spirit level and a Death Ray!… ok, maybe we embellished the last one but it does have an LED torch that looks a little death ray’ish. All this when it weighs in at a slight 300g and measures a pocket pleasing 13.5x4x5cm is quite impressive.

What is it?
Being the astute persons that you are, you can probably guess that this is an umbrella. But this is like no other umbrella we have ever seen before, because this is a “Lightsaber Umbrella”.
