This is like an adult version of Tamagotchi, the aim of the game is to bed your virtual partner (okay the aim is to keep him or her happy (and then get your cyber wicked way)).

Each device comes with 8 different potential mates, so if you get bored of one you can treat her mean in the hope of being dumped so that you can move on to your next conquest. Playing the game sounds pretty simple:

The more satisfied your virtual date becomes, the more points you collect and the longer the relationship lasts. Using the three control buttons you can select between gifts (anything from lingerie to deodorant), compliments (oblique or spectacularly blunt), places to go (the jewellers or to the bingo) or, if you’re feeling lucky, wild passion.

Available from Firebox (due to the risqué language this is not suitable for kids). Thanks to the biggest NY Giants football fan I know for the news.

Verballs are cool little characters that you connect to you PC (via USB) and can be used in conjunction with Skype to talk to your friends. Read the rest of this entry »

Thumb drives can store up to a couple gigabytes of data in a device the size of, well, your thumb. The only downside is that as you get past the gigabyte mark, thumb drives become very expensive.

Carrying around a hard drive doesn’t sound that great, but the T.One isn’t your regular hard drive, it fits in your pocket.

The T.One is a portable hard drive with 8 gigabytes of storage, and connects to your computer via USB 2.0, but is also compatabile with USB 1.1 (for the poor people who still have that). It’s compatabile with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This gadget is quite self-explanatory, however it’s a great idea. If you’ve ever been startled by someone coming up behind you and reading what you have on the screen, especially if it’s not something you’d like them to see ;), then you could benefit from a rear view mirror on your computer. It easily hooks onto your monitor so you can have eyes on the back of your head while at your workspace.

You can pick one up for just £4.45 from Ministry of Gadgets.

This is a really cool gadget. If you want the great functionality that comes with tablet PCs however you’re too cheap to fork out the cash for one or you’d rather stick with your desktop but want to be able to give writing-like input, the HyperPen is definitely for you!

The Aiptek HyperPen 12000 USB is an amazing USB gadget that gives you a writing or drawing surface so you can have your own virtual notepad. It would be perfect for things like creating artwork, virtual signatures, or retouching photos with the precision of a pen.

PC speakers generally look pretty plain and boring (unless you can afford crazy speakers like these), so I was interested to see the Vase USB PC Speaker.

The Speaker is shaped like a vase (hence the name I guess) and also includes an LED glow and acoustic Lens (???) so you get a little light show with your tunes.

Hot from the tech news wires - Apple is set to release a souped-up Bluetooth version of it’s Mighty Mouse pointing device.

Apple are claiming that the laser tracking is 20 times more sensitive than typical optical mice on the market. So, no more fighting your mechanical mouse-ball to click on your favourites!
