Not sure if this is real or just someone’s fantasy. Either way, it looks very slick. It could be Apple’s answer to the web book. One for me please Santa.

Its all very well having hundreds of movies on your iPod video, but its no good if you want to watch one at your mate’s house. Unless you have this super cool mini projector of course.

Solar-powered robotic lawn mower
Some like their lawn mower to have the power of a small v8. But consider the idea that you sit back in the sun with no need to fill up or plug in your mower whilst it cuts your grass. All we need now is something to mix a good G&T.

Get some sound sleep
I have become a convert. I used to love my goose down super pillow from John Lewis until my wife introduced me to the delights of funny memory foam, like the one here. I’ve tried to fall asleep with headphones on. It’s painful. This does the job nicely. By the way, you can purchase these at tower records too.

Watch your TV/video/sky/movies from your home anywhere around the world.
Wherever it is you’re going, you can take your favourite programmes with you. The clever little ‘Sling box’ allows you to connect to your devices at home. You can watch your recorded episodes of Heroes, Friends or whatever on your mobile or laptop anywhere around the world. You can even change channels on your set top box. I think that’s quite impressive.
