Panasonic RP-HTX7
LISTEN UP
While the styling of these headphones may be retro, the sound is very now. The stylish look includes a leather headband and pastel cups. Colours available include blue and cream, so you’re sure to look the business. www.panasonic.co.uk, €60
Nintendo Wii
“W” FOR WORKOUT
Want to be the next Lennox Lewis? With Nintendo’s next-generation Wii console, you can step into the ring without leaving your living room. The free game, Wii Sports, lets you dodge, weave and punch your opponent with the aid of a motion-sensitive remote and Nunchuck controller. When you get tired of the slug-fest, just switch to tennis, golf, bowling or baseball. Phew. www.nintendo.co.uk, €267
Nokia 6110 Navigator
CHAT-NAV
This super phone has built-in GPS navigation, squeezing in local mapping, points of interest and 3D views. And that’s on top of other great features, such as a two-megapixel camera. It will be hitting shops at the end of April. www.nokia.co.uk, €450
LG Shine
MIRROR, MIRROR
LG’s stainless-steel handset has a bright,
5.5cm LCD screen that turns reflective when you slide it closed, making it one of the coolest phones on the market. Despite these chic looks, and the obvious advantage of being able to touch up your make-up on the move, the mirrored mobile is no mere fashion phone. Shine’s skinny 14mm body flaunts a two-megapixel camera, scroll bar and an MP3 player. We like. We like a lot.
Free on contract; www.lge.com
Samsung i70
SEXY SNAPPER
This 7.2 megapixel camera appears fabulously button-free — with a cover that slides back to reveal the controls. Specs-wise, it wraps up a 3x optical zoom and a 7.6cm LCD screen. It also has an MP3 and media player for music and videos on the go. This stylish camera has an oriental-inspired print and is available in black, gold, silver, green, pink and red. www.samsung.co.uk, about €300
iPod shuffle
COLOUR KING
Apple’s smallest-ever iPod is now available in green, blue, pink and orange. Holding up to 240 songs, the 1GB music player can be clipped to your shirt like a brooch. www.apple.com/uk, €89
