The Sony ICF-CL75iP alarm clock is so much more than an annoying bedside device to wake you up in the morning.
It has a 7-inch WVGA screen, 1GB of internal storage (and a USB port for more), a retractable iPod dock and an FM radio. It may seem kind of excessive to have an extra screen when an iPod or iPhone is sitting right there, but the clock can actually play videos too (MP4, Motion JPEG and AVI).
The alam clock has been a feature of the bedside table for the best part of 150 years, but it seems that more than 50% of all mobile phone users now set an alarm on their handset before climbing into bed, rather than using a traditional bedside clock.
Sony’s ICF-CL75iP alarm clock is a step forward in terms of alarm clock technology and they hope to bring back the traditional way to wake you up, as well as offering a modern solution for those who like all-in-one gadgets.
It’s a great little thing to take with you on holiday, on a business trip or anmy kind of travel, as it has so many functions in one, including the capability to watch a film.
The Sony’s ICF-CL75iP is available for around £120

The Race in a Case Slot Racing Track is a unique eco-friendly alternative to other classic head-to-head tabletop racing games. Instead of having to use mountains of batteries or plug in the mains and run up your electricity bills, the Race in a Case runs purely on wind-up power.
Its hand-cranked electricity and speed generator technology gives a player all the power and control in order to have more fun.
The main selling point of the product is its portability due to its lightweight design, it’s eco-friendly (the fact you can take it anywhere and don’t need to worry about finding a power supply) and there’s minimum assembly as it’s all contained in a hard heavy-duty plastic casing that you simply unfold.
The more you wind the controller, the more you accelerate, the less you decelerate or maintain speed. The aim is to beat your opponent and win by depending solely on your manual winding skills and self-control. Also included in the case are various decorations to spruce up your racetrack and make it look more realistic, i.e. a chequered flag, landscape backgrounds, fake starting line lights etc.
Race in a Case Racing Track will be available online from the 14th October from around £50.

Sharp has unveiled its first series of Full Screen white LED backlight TVs to hit the UK - the LE600 and LE700. The LE600 is available in 32″, 40″ and 46″ models with the LE700 spanning the same range with the addition of a 52″ model.
All models combine Sharp’s award-winning AQUOS LCD technology with a Full-Screen LED backlight system delivering great image quality and energy-efficient, eco-friendly performance.
Both of the new AQUOS LED models incorporate Sharp’s Full Screen LED backlight technology that illuminates the TV to extremely high brightness through hundreds of LEDs positioned directly behind the entire screen. The LEDs design includes a unique “double-dome” light amplifier lens and multi-fluorescents, enabling high brightness and colour purity. Furthermore to maximize the LED performance Sharp has developed the AQUOS Colour Engine, a new colour management system that has been developed exclusively to accentuate rich colour tones.
These series also incorporate Sharp’s next-generation Full HD 1080p X-Gen LCD panel which will be forged at the World’s first 10th Generation LCD plant. This is designed with an innovative pixel structure which drastically improves its transmissive rate allowing more light to pass resulting in brighter images. The combination of cutting edge panel and white LED technology delivers Mega contrast improving the perception of depth and clarity in every image.
Topping-off this premium series, the LE700 series utilises 100Hz technology and a rapid pixel response time of 4ms, providing the ultimate medium for high-definition viewing, ensuring viewers never miss a detail. The series also has an impressive 176-degree viewing angle, enabling the colour reproduction to appear bright and vivid from virtually anywhere in a room.
The picture quality of the series is ably supported by an equally impressive sound system that ensures dialogue, music and special effects are replicated with accuracy. With Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound and two 10 Watt speakers, both the LE600 and LE700 offer a sound that is as clear as the on screen image. Automatic volume control and clear-voice technology are also included to adjust the sound level on loud sections of filmor television programmes and automatically differentiate between music and films.
The TV is also equipped with a system designed to lower power consumption during use by adjusting the screen brightness based on the level of brightness in the room. In fact, this series offers 40% less power consumption than traditional LCD backlight technology. These TV series also use eco-friendly components and are mercury free with both the LE600 and LE700 being awarded the EU eco-label commendation.
These HD ready 1080p models boast an array of connection options, including four HDMI (v1.3 with Deep Colour) and a component video input, all of which are 1080p compatible, accepting signals from Blu-ray Disc(tm) players and advanced gaming devices. Additionally, Sharp’s AQUOS LINK feature allows users to seamlessly control Sharp compatible, HDMI-connected products using the TVremote control. The series also includes a USB photo/music player for the convenience of high-resolution digital photo viewing and MP3 music enjoyment on the TV.
