We don’t have clock radios anymore, we have audio systems. Witness the Yamaha  TXS-140 Desktop Audio System, which wakes you gradually.

Coming in a range of earth-inspired colors, the TSX-140 works with an iPod Touch and the iPhone. It can also play MP3 and WMA files stores on a USB flash drive. Oh, and it has an AM/FM radio.

What makes it special is the InteliAlarm, which wakes you with the audio source of your choice. It starts by filtering out uncomfortable high frequencies, then gradually restores the full audio spectrum. Finally, it beeps, to tell you to get the heck out of bed. It’s all gentle and stress-free. Until the beeping. You can pick one up for a list price of $399.95. Is it too late for a Black Friday deal?

I love my iPod, and I especially love my music collection, what I don’t love is trying to listen to my iPod in the car. I hate driving with earbuds and my stupid little portable speaker just doesn’t cut it. But since the introduction of Airplay, Apple’s new streaming technology that allows audio (photos and video) to be streamed from any iOS device to another iOS device, I knew good things were about to happen.

Enter PhotoFast, the newest way to listen to your tunes, the way you want to, in your car. After what appears to be a somewhat labor intensive, although pretty straightforward installation, this cool little black WIFI box will automatically turn on when you start your car and will connect with your WIFI enabled device, streaming your music library through your stereo system. Very nice.

You will have the ability to pause, fast forward and rewind using your iPod. The PhotoFast is designed to transmit high quality sound. Works with iPad, iPod and iPhone.

Surely some car manufacturers will be jumping on the Airplay bandwagon, but until then, PhotoFast is now available in Japan, and look for it sometime soon, in a store near you for around $299.00

If you are a Tron fan these light cycle USB drives might be a good addition to your gift list this year. The white USB is designed after Kevin Flynn’s Light Cycle and is available in either a 4GB or 8GB storage capacity.

The black is also available as either in 4GB or 8GB and is designed after Sam Flynn’s light cycle from the up and coming movie that will be released on 17th December 2010.

When transferring data to either of the USB drives the wheels of the bike will flash showing data transfer. The 8GB drive is available for $34.99 and the 4GB at $24.99 from the Toysrus website.

The new movie it the sequel to the first popular Tron film from 1982. The new Tron film finds Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn. Finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 20 years. Should be exciting especially in 3D.

I love how technology lets you mess around with all your devices at the same time. I mean, I’m watching stuff from my computer on my TV. I am listening to my iPod and watching my family photos on the big screen. The technology is fun, entertaining and pretty easy, could anything make it better?

Yup, I have just been introduced to The Loop, the freehand mouse that moves your cursor with natural motions made in the air. Simply point and click on the TV that’s connected to your PC or Mac. The Loop pointer’s intuitive design has a scroll wheel and four buttons.

The Loop patented air-mouse has the ability to compensate for normal hand tremor and varying positioning while responding to the motion of the Loop pointer. Its a pretty simple, intuitive design that is really easy to use. The Loop could probably be a pretty valuable tool for presenters and educators who use PCs and Macs connected to projectors. You could control presentations, navigate web pages and more from almost anywhere in the room. The Loop pointer will work with computers running Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

I’m crusin’ the net from across the room, and I see the day coming when I never have to get off the couch. Only $49.00 from www.amazon.com

The HTC Wildfire is really a Desire Lite or as some may well say, it’s a slimmed down version of the Desire handset. The handset is getting on a bit now to say the least, like the Desire is as well and the depressing thing is, there won’t be any updates to the Wildfire device where as the HTC desire has seen many an upgrade together with the likes of the HTC desire Z and the HTC desire HD, but with the Wildfire being somewhat a budget phone we probably won’t be seeing a Wildfire HD or a Wildfire Z, as it just won’t be worth putting all of these hi-Tec pieces in a handset which had been intended to certainly be a inexpensive phone.
This handset may be budget, but it is definitely up-to-date, operating the popular Android 2.1 and with HTC’s Sense software packages installed, you are able to safely assume that it has all the mod cons to be a top mobile, only one thing, yes something lets it down. That thing would be the low quality display; you can confidently claim that it really does the device zero favours whatsoever with the pixelated resolution.
Most of you will question the making of a cheap handset and also question the reason why HTC would release one, well the main reason they did is the fact they are running low on inexpensive devices and to keep the customers happy, well as the saying goes, “you’ve gotta do, what you’ve gotta do.” So, customer’s happy, check. Budget phone, check. Well what is there to do now? HTC most likely had, had enough of low cost devices after launching the Wildfire so they made a decision to immediately supersede their own flagship device with a couple of new models of it, the desire HD and Desire Z.
The good thing about the Wildfire is that it doesn’t have a challenging operating system and it really is very easy and simple to work with so if its ease of use that you’re after then this may possibly be a affordable device for yourself.
If you do quite like the sound of this handset then why not have a very good search around the marketplace to see what HTC Wildfire deals are available for you and see what you can not only pay for but what is perfect for you, as you don’t want to be spending loads and loads on it!
