	Our gadget editor reveals the latest, greatest electric toys to hit the streets
By Susi Weaser

Intempo Rebel
This cool radio sampling system records the most popular tracks played on any station, cutting out all the annoying DJ chatter. It boasts a 40-track memory, which fills up over the course of the day, and you can then download the songs to a memory card or MP3 player to listen to on the go. WWW.INTEMPODIGITAL.COM

Loc8tor Lite
Scatty? Forgetful? Willing to invest in a solution? The Loc8tor Lite comes with two homing tags that you attach to the things you lose most often. Then the credit card-sized device should guide you towards the tags with beeps and squeaks – once you’re within a 122m range, that is. €58, WWW.LOC8TOR.CO.UK

Replug
Sometimes there are gadget accessories that aren’t going to set the world alight, but may just save you some cash. The Replug is designed to fit between your earphones and your MP3 player, releasing the headphone cable from the player should it snag, so no more ruined audio inputs or cables.

LG Secret
Combining stylish looks with brilliant features, the LG Secret gives owners the chance to capture and edit top-quality video footage with a 5MP camera, together with gyroscopic gaming. The latter works much like the Nintendo Wii, allowing you to control it by waving it around, rather than pressing buttons – brilliant when you’re playing darts!
