Top 50 Gadgets dissected
March 19, 2008 by Insider Staff
You can never have enough gadgets. Fact.
The more you play with them, the more you want to cast them aside and acquire new ones (we don’t have high boredom thresholds either).
Satisfy your needs with one of these little beauties. One of them is even a touch practical!
Top of the tree
Numark PT-01
Best price: £67.79 (including delivery) on 19 March 2008
This turntable is a godsend for the opportunist “how about an impromptu set” DJ. With the footprint of a 12-inch record, measuring four-inches thick and weighing a mere 2.2kg, the Numark PT-01 can fit neatly into any record bag or crate. But it also sports all the basic DJ controls and mods, including monitor speaker, all the record speeds, pitch control and headphone jack.
Up against: It’s one of a kind!
Rising star
Olympus VPN-2100 Digital Voice recorder
Best price: £31.99 on 19 March 2008
Whether a student, journo, big cheese or someone simply note-taking, the Olympus VPN-2100 digital voice recorder offers a simple and compact solution. With 64MB of onboard memory, it can record a whopping 35 hours of waffle or incisive genius observations, all for a reasonable price.
Up against: Sony ICD-B300 digital recorder
Unsung hero
X Twin plane
Best price: £19.82 on 19 March 2008
The X Twin remote control plane will let you live out those Red Baron fantasies (or make a great present for the kid). With a rechargeable lithium battery powering its engine and twin propellers, this plane will provide hours of fun and frolics, playing out those acrobatic moves. Its 23cm wingspan makes it small enough for indoor flying while a non-breakable polyfoam construction means it can take few crashes before giving up the ghost.
Up against: It flies solo.
