Kingston Wi-Drive 128GB
No doubt you’ve seen Kingston’s fully portable wireless storage Wi-Drive before but the 128GB version only came out this month. This doubling of the previous maximum capacity takes the Wi-Drive beyond its iOS/Android tablet/talker top-up role, to places where it can perform as a versatile storage platform. Its 2.4GHz 802.11g/n wireless connectivity allows sharing for three people and you’re not limited to Android or iOS devices either.
Computers can access content wirelessly too, as the Wi-Drive can act as a bridge on an existing network or perform as a standalone access point. Then out on the road it doesn’t matter what device you’ve got to hand, you can hook up to it wirelessly from the Wi-Drive app for iOS and Android. And of course, the mini USB charging point also allows you to mount it as a desktop drive to ferry content to and from it. If you’ve a multiplatform lifestyle or family and a media habit, the Wi-Drive offers content contentment.

Landmice Aston Martin wireless mouse
My brother, lucky fellow, has an Aston Martin and unbeknownst to him, so do I. While he parks his in a garage overnight, my Quantum Grey model rolls up next to the keyboard on my desk – it even has working lights at the front and rear. I’m not sure what 0-60mph would work out as, for the cursor flying across the screen, but this 1750dpi optical mouse is certainly extremely nippy.
If it’s too responsive, you can shift gear by simply holding down the left and right click buttons simultaneously to drop the resolution to 750 or 1250dpi – the scroll wheel on the bonnet flashes the changes. This will also light up when the battery is low, something that those car lights will bring on sooner than its 2.4G wireless connection that uses a mini dongle that's Mac and PC compatible. Along with the auto off feature, there's a three way switch on the bottom for lights on/off and all off – the latter is a good idea at the end of the day, so you’re not parked with the engine running. Comfortable to use and light weight too, a perfect stocking filler for Bond fans or a sibling with the real thing. Merry Christmas, bro.
Thanks to Prezzybox for the review sample.

Fail
I was already pretty dubious about taking the article seriously when it's supposedly about stocking fillers, yet there's nothing in this list at what I would call stocking filler price. I stopped reading altogether when you feature an iPhone case which supposedly reduces mobile "radiation" yet increases signal strength. If you're going to put out such an obvious marketing puff piece based on stuff you've been handed/loaned, next time please put the complete and utter bull***t on the first page so I won't have to waste any of my life on it again.
Putting aside the claims of "radiation" from mobile phones causing harm, you cannot at the same time reduce "radiation" and increase signal strength - THEY ARE THE SAME THING. If you block/attenuate the signal coming out of/into the phone, your signal strength and quality will drop.
"Weird science? Snake oil modelling? Take your pick, it’s going to be hard for a user to determine if the improved signal strength is noticeable or if Pong’s redirection of TRP (total radiated power) is going to save your life or not"
No, it won't be hard for any user with any ounce of common sense at all. Any user with any common sense at all will realise that if you block something you cannot amplify or improve it at the same time. No, they'll stay the hell away from the company foisting quackery on you at an inflated price; they'll get A.N. Other brand silicone case/skin for their phone and pay £5-£15 for it. Which, incidentally, will also stop your phone sliding around and protect it from falls without the exorbitant price tag that this thing commands.
There is no depth of fail low enough to describe the depths that TheReg has plumbed with this "article".
I thought it was going to be serious
Ha ha ha ,
Bob Dormon picked 10 completely random tech items, which probably have a decent kickback, threw them onto a webpage and gave the page a title.
A Spyder4 screen calibration tool for photographers........had me rolling about the office floor
A Dlink routeur .................... had the rest of the office rolling about the floor
An Aston Martin mouse ......... we had people coming in from the street to see why everyone had tears in their eyes whilst flailing about wildly on the office floor and they too joined in....
It's wednesday and Bob must have some serious problems coming up with anything original, so we got this............
ha ha ha.
I'm still wiping away the tears as I write
