Rovio – Online Remote Controlled Home Security Robot
September 2, 2010 - Written by Simon Barker · Filed under House Gadgets, Remote Control Gadgets, Security Gadgets, Spy Gadgets, Surveillance Gadgets
The Rovio is the perfect remote-controlled robot, featuring some pretty useful technology to make it a gadget you’ll get hours of fun from. Essentially, you control the robot by using a standard web browser, which can be on your PC, your laptop, your mobile phone or your games console.
The Rovio also includes a VGA camera and a microphone, allowing you to use it for a little spying around the home or office. And the best bit, when the Rovio’s batteries start to run low, it will automatically return to its docking station to charge itself up!
The Rovio robot connects to a standard Wifi router, allowing it to work without any wires whatsoever. When you first get the robot, you’ll need to configure it to talk to your wireless network by connecting it to your PC or Mac via a USB cable. However, setting up the robot only takes a few minutes. Once you’ve configured the Rovio, you’re up and running using the very simple software. The software works on all major web including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.
Retro Alarm Clock iPod Dock – Wake Up To Your MP3 Music
August 13, 2010 - Written by Rob Nichols · Filed under Bedroom Gadgets, Music Gadgets, Sleeping Gadgets
This Retro Alarm Clock iPod Dock is an extremely simple idea however it is probably something that nobody would reject if offered one free of charge.
Those old-style alarm clocks which are round and have bells on top and the hammer which blasted you into next week instead of simply waking you up calmly.
This however, is not so alarming. The bells on top are actually discreet 360o speakers and where the clock-face itself should be is actually an iPod dock. As with any alarm clock there are several features including snooze and volume.

August 4, 2010 - Written by Rob Nichols · Filed under Health Gadgets
Personally, I do not smoke so I can only imagine how difficult it is to give up after years of indulging in cigarettes…enter the Gamucci Electronic Cigarette.
Ever since the smoking ban was enforced in the UK and other parts of the world, fewer people remain smokers, but none the less there are those that need help when it comes to quitting.
Others just don’t want to which is fine, however perhaps this could be a better long-term option for them too? Either way this has to be worth a look to see if it works for you?

Spy Pen Video Camera – Covert Audio & Video Recorder
June 29, 2010 - Written by Mike · Filed under Spy Gadgets, Surveillance Gadgets, USB Gadgets
If you had not noticed, we love spy gadgets hear at GFM like the great Spy Camera Sunglasses we covered. This Spy Pen Video Camera carries on the covert filming theme as it is pretty much what the title says. A pen with a built in video camera. It still amazes us how they manage to squeeze a camera into something so small. What really amazed us was what else this covert spy gadget had to offer as well.
For starters the camera shoots in VGA quality and stores them as JPG files that are time and date stamped. So that’s a “pen” that can shoot movies in exactly the same quality that an old school video player could show. How technology has moved on never ceases to amaze us.

That’s right, this is the UK’s first ever adjustable heat hot sauce. Quite extraordinary when you think about. This really is the sauce that everyone should want. It can’t help but be perfect and it doesn’t matter what you like there is something for you, all in one pot.
When it comes down to it, Dave’s Gourmet Adjustable Heat Hot Sauce is just chilli sauce. However, by twisting the cap you can follow the labels to find the perfect heat for you. It sounds complicated and impossible doesn’t it? However, it isn’t really.
Basically, there are 2 compartments, one with extremely hot sauce and the other with mild sauce. Depending on how far the cap is twisted, the more it takes from either compartment and through the specially designed pump mixes the two to make the perfect sauce.
