There are lots of ergonomic keyboards to choose from. What makes this one special? You can decide after reading the product features page or you can take a close look at the picture. Notice that vertical line in the middle? That's for separating the two halves of the damned thing (up to six inches of total separation of both keyboard modules). And if you think that's not enough, if you still find your hands constrained, there's also a custom version available that offers up to 20 inches of freedom. Other ergonomic keyboards provide different shapes, but only if you exchange them, not on the same one.

The Kinesis Freestyle Solo also includes other nice touches like double wide "delete" and "escape" keys for easier targeting. It has some add-ons too. If you're out for an ergonomic keyboard you should definetely check it out.

The iPod nano is sleek, cool, light and more, but one thing it's not is cheap.

There're lots of clones with a more attractive price-point, but not from such a reputed manufacturer.

Capitalizing on this market gap, Creative introduces the ZEN Stone. Looks may not be as good as those of the iPod wannabes, but it's very nice, small and costs a lot less.

If you ever had an iPod in your shopping list, you can start thinking about an affordable alternative from a known brand. Among its features, you will find: 1Gb, 10 hours rechargeable battery and six colours to choose from. Ogg suppoters will have to skip it, though. But even in MP3 format you can store about 250 songs @128kbps. For only $69 or €39 you can't honestly complain.

Meade, one of the leading companies involved in the development of astronomy equipment for both industrial and consumer use, announced an innovative and very exciting device that can literally change the way you'll look at the night sky. 

Known as mySKY™, the Meade mySKY sky navigator is a fun, interactive, multi-media, hand-held guide to the universe. mySKY locates and identifies celestial objects in the night sky using the latest in electronic technology.

Meade mySKY is the ultimate in simplicity and ease of use. No prior knowledge of the night sky is needed due to the fact that Meade mySKY aligns itself without any input from the user. Turn it on, point it at a celestial object, and pull the trigger to identify planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies and much more. The Meade mySKY has a database of over 30,000 objects, many which include color images and audio descriptions.Exploration of the night sky starts with a simple video introduction of how to use mySKY. From there, real-time, color SkyMaps guide you to the objects you want to locate. Once an object is located, full-color presentations will blow you away with stunning astrophotography, entertaining audio descriptions, color videos, astronomical mythology, folklore, scientific fun facts and much more!

The Meade mySKY features the latest technology to perform an automatic alignment, allowing customers of any experience level to find objects within the first minutes of using the mySKY. mySKY technology includes a 12-channel GPS receiver to automatically find your exact location, date and time, a magnetic compass to accurately find north, and electronic accelerometers to determine pointing location.

2007 promises to be a bumper year for the gadget enthusiast. Here's a look at some of the most anticipated gadgets of 2007.

Apple iPhone

The must have mobile phone of 2007 is predicted to be the greatest gadget ever invented. Dubbed the Jesus phone, it's sexy looks are only rivaled by it's feature list. The iPhone's 3.5 inch widescreen with a resolution of 480 x 320 makes it an ideal candidate for watching videos on the go. The screen has the ability to flip from potrait mode to landscape and there's even an ambilight sensor that adjusts brightness depending on lighting conditions. With Apple iTunes upping the video content ready for the launch, a good choice of movies and TV shows will make it a stellar movie machine.

The touchscreen interface makes the iPhone suitably snazzy. Apple have spent over two years working on the touchscreen to make it skin friendly and robust enough to withstand sticky fingers.

Communication is particular impressive with an innovative voicemail system that lets you scan through messages and listen to the ones you want much like scanning through your email. The iPhone runs a cutdown OS X operating system as found on the Apple computers. While you can't use Mac applications, it does have the Safari browser and Apple's widget mini applications. It even supports multi-tasking. The iPhone connects at high speed thanks to WiFi and bluetooth 2.0. Steve Jobs has suggested it will be 3G enabled by the time it is launched in the UK.

We love a bit of Muff at MaXit and this set of headphones from the Sennheiser stable looks nice and juicy. The 435's caught our eye with their stylish design and low price.

The Sennheiser HD 435 dynamic stereo headphones boast outstanding sound characteristics with  a detachable, single-sided cable and integrated volume control. They look and feel solid and the sporty trim adds a bit of muff magic to the appearance. You can use them at home with a mini/compact hi-fi system, a PC or even with portable players in the street if you want to look funky - just don't expect them to stay on your ears for long if you live in hoody land. Sennheiser claims to have the highest wearing comfort of any headphones so you need not worry about deforming your tabs while listening to Take That on full blast - don't worry your secrets safe with us. At around £30 with a 2-year warranty you'd be raving mad pal not to give them a test drive.

With all the recent excitement about Apple TV, we thought we bring you the latest development from HANNSapple. 

Know for their wacky technology designs, this latest ones a real peach or should we say apple? Looking like a GM mutation, the 9.6" screen is housed in an apple moulding complete with leaves, stems and a door.  It's the weirdest idea we have seen but we can't help being drawn to it. It's also available it green and looks good enought to eat - well if you like plastic moulding that is.

Spot the kitty

 
Another oh-so-cutsy Hello Kitty, this time from Sanrio. It's house trained, likes to play with pink rubber toys, eats raw fish, purrs when sleeping and loves to sit on your lap while you watch TV. The air freshners pretty good too.

The question is would you really want one on the back seat of your car? With a bow like that and a cute yellow nose, how could you resist!
