Valentine's Day Gadget Gift Round-up... for her
Reg Hardware's second round-up of cool kit. This time, prezzies for the lady in your life...
Casio Exilim Card EX-S770
Every woman needs a camera with which she can capture the precious moments of your Valentine's Day rendezvous, and they don't come much slicker and sexier than Casio's distinctly rouge Exilim EX-S770. Ultra-slim so it slips easily into the handbag or pocket, it packs a 7.2 megapixel punch and parades your pics on a 2.8in widescreen LCD that's bright enough to show up clearly in the 'cosiest' of lighting conditions. The anti-shake function is spot on for keeping pics sharp when those first-date shakes take over, and even better if you're planning on popping the question, you romantic fool, you.

Je Joue Sensual Massager
The gift that keeps on giving - even long after you're history. Je Joue is a new concept in lady pleasure that will show not only how in touch you are with her needs, but that you're not just a big perv. A "sensual massager", Je Joue - French for 'I play', in case you were wondering - is designed to extend and intensify foreplay thanks to its unique and infinite series of vibrating, pulsing and gliding patterns - called grooves. Pre-loaded with ten grooves to choose from, the real beauty is that she can hook it up online to create her own database of different grooves and experiences depending on how fruity she feels. Or you feel.

Mio H610 sat nav
The first GPS unit designed specifically for the lady in your life, the H610 is as much fashion accessory as a sat nav. Slinky enough to slip in the handbag but can be worn around the neck or even wrist, it has interchangeable designer covers, a 2.7in touchscreen, maps, a places of interest database stretching to 24 European countries, and serious multimedia capabilities. There's 1GB of memory plus an SD slot for expanding that, so she can store photos, MP3s and movies. Outlook syncing means she can keep her contacts close while features like a currency converter, weather updates and even clothing size conversions mean a shopping jolly abroad with the girls poses no problem. Stereotypical? Maybe. Brilliant? Undoubtedly.

Verdict
Well, that about wraps it up for another year. And in 12 months' time, exactly the same thing will happen again: you'll think you mustn't forget to find a pressie when you've weeks to go. Then you completely forget, then you remember, and all of a sudden it's 13 February and you're utterly flummoxed for something to buy. And then Register Hardware will come to your rescue - yet again.
