At gadgeshop HQ, we don’t bother much for fans, given that our lab is so well chilled by cryonic thermocoolers than even in August it’s positively Baltic. But you may not be so lucky, and, like myriad British workers, rely on a humble deskfan for refreshment as you slave over that hot keyboard of yours.

For years, office rules have rendered the Great British Worker silent. With increasing bans on mobiles, inter-personal fraternisation and now a broadside against the new-fangled social networking applications, there’s an ever-decreasing number of ways to express one’s individuality between the hours of 9 and 5.

Until now, that is, and a truly pioneering yet cunning contraption that combines desk-based cooling device and personal messaging whatsit. Simply flick the switch and the fan springs to life like any other, except a message sequence in fat orange letters appears to scroll within the fan itself. Remarkable.

An in-built LED strip does all the hard work, rotating with the primary blade to create the illusion of moving text, circling the face of the fan as it rotates. A set of handy buttons on the side of the fan handle enable the storage and editing of six alphanumeric messages including letters, digits and commonplace punctuation marks. So there’s no excuse for sloppy syntax now, is there?

Features

• Lightweight fan and instant message unit
• Stores up to six messages
• Features flexible blades for enhanced safety

Specification

• Dimensions: Height: 11.0cm Width: 5.0cm Depth: 6.0cm
• Weight: 0.2Kg

If you want a bike that is lightweight and portable then the A-Bike is exactly that.

The A-Bike is different from other bikes that have so far just been bikes that fold up. This bike has been designed with portability and practicality in mind. The frame is made from heat treated aluminium and glass fibre, the axle and gearing system is made to be as compact and lightweight as possible. This all means that the bike unfolds with ease and can be set up in seconds whilst not detracting from the usability. The riding position and rugged frame coupled with pneumatic tyres make the A-Bike extremely easy and comfortable to ride.

In summary the bike can be carried around with ease and assembled as quickly as you can put it away again. So if you like to use the train or have to carry your normal bike up flights of stairs and nowhere to store it, the A-Bike is a great solution.

Comes with storage bag so you can carry when you have reach your destination, get on the train or to the bottom of the stairs. Collapses to just: 67cm x 30cm x 16cm, and when unfolded is: 100cm x 70cm x 43cm.

 Up to now everyone has just taken for granted that the mouse is the shape it is, and that’s it. But the Wow Pen Mouse moves away from what we know as the conventional mouse and offers us a more comfortable and natural way to hold a mouse. The Wow Pen Traveler is the second version in the Wow Pen series. Following on from the great success of the first version, the Traveler comes with even more features.

Not only is the Traveler version wireless but it also comes with a Laser Beam Pointer to help with presentation techniques and is also Silver Nano embedded (an antibacterial measure).

Traditional mice put unnecessary stress on the user’s wrist and forearm with extended use — often leading to painful carpal tunnel strain. The WowPen Traveler looks and feels different. You hold the WowPen naturally, as you would a pen or pencil. The broad base of the Wow-Pen, in combination with its pen-like shape, make the WowPen effortless to grab and move. User fatigue is greatly reduced.

The Wow Pen simply stands by itself on your desk when not in use.

The WowPen is compact and mobile. At only 59 grams, it’s ideal for carrying with a notebook PC. There’s also no need to carry a mouse pad. The WowPen works on any surface except glass.

The WowPen is both PC and MAC compatible. It needs no drivers, simply plug and play.
