Gadget (2018)

Sonos Beam (£399) Fresh out of food-based projectiles and suffering from a collective loss of voice, the gadget of the year award looked like it was going to be decided by some sort of mute Royal Rumble, before one Stuffling used their notes app to remind us we should settle this like adults. Sadly with […]

Cars (2018)

Jaguar I-Pace (£63,925) It’s with a sense of patriotic pride and Land of Hope and Glory emanating from the infotainment system, we can announce Jag’s electric whip takes top prize. As you would expect from a car company with racing pedigree, taking us from A to B was never going to be a dull, but […]

Mobile game (2018)

Oddmar (£4.99) And it’s high ho cartoon viking, anywhere you go now baby! We’ve had that song stuck in our head ever since we picked up Oddmar, the beautifully animated, endlessly charming mobile platformer about a rather lazy viking imbued with magical powers. Admittedly, it all sounds a bit odd – heck, the clue’s in […]

System camera (2018)

Fuji X-T3 (£1349) Introducing the best APS-C camera on planet Earth. It’s a bold statement, we know, but stick with us. You see, rather than reinvent the wheel, Fuji taken every feature on the already outstanding X-T2 and incrementally upgraded it. The result is an all-round beast of a camera that manages to astound in […]

Action camera/drone (2018)

DJI Mavic 2 Pro (£1,349) Drone-maker DJI is on a roll. If you’d asked us a few months ago to name our favourite flying camera, we’d have blurted out the words “Mavic Air” before you’d finished the sentence. Things have changed in a short space of time and it’s all down to this handsome aerial […]

Streaks (£4.99) Streaks is a nifty to-do list for forming good habits and worrying less about bad ones. Unlike traditional to-do managers and calendars, which often conflate what you have to do with what you want to, Streaks helps you prioritise tasks that could actually improve your wellbeing – whether its brushing your teeth, reading […]

Sony RX10 II Shoot 1/32,000 stills with the RX10 II’s memory-attached sensor and you’ll be left in awe. With a hi-res OLED viewfinder also onboard, this is a cash-happy dream of a bridge camera.

Smart Home Gadget (2015)

Nest Stick this smart-learning digital dial by your boiler and you’ll never be caught chilly. Algorithms assess time and temperature pairings, whilst geo-fencing and app-controls make it a truly toasty thermo.
