All for one, and all in one!
Take down your iMac posters, folks. There's a new all-in-one desktop pin-up in town: the Dell XPS One
The Dell XPS One PC is so throbbing in sex appeal you could almost mistake it for an Apple iMac, but you’d be wrong. This is the new plucky desktop all-in-one from formerly bland-PC makers Dell, and it’s taking the fight to the iMac in terms of design and multimedia-ness.
It’s also not satisfied with just looking the part. The Dell XPS all-in-one PC has a gorgeous 24-inch screen, and is stuf…

Vote: Nintendo Game Boy v Nintendo DS
This week's Wall of Fame has two veritable legends vying for your hand space: the Nintendos Game Boy and DS
This week’s area of gadgetry under the spotlight for Wall of Fame, erm, infamy is handheld gaming consoles. You can forget your SEGA Game Gears, Sony PSPs, and iPhones, this corner of the market’s dominated by one company: Nintendo.
First up: the Nintendo GameBoy. The handheld console that changed the way you travelled forever, with super-addictive titles like Tetris and Super Mario Land to …

Go green, save the planet...
Earth Day, eh? But shouldn't every day be Earth Day?
It’s Earth Day, so green gadgets are hot on the agenda again. But there are those out there who are skeptical about the good that merely turning to eco-friendly gadgets might have. They’d argue that switching to the dubiously-marketed eco-tech to make us feel smug is like trying to prevent an oncoming tidal wave – impossible. But saying that is ignoring the problem.
We admit that some manufa…

Robotic snakes and self-fixing cyborgs? Is this the start of Judgement Day?
Put aside the moral ambiguities for a minute (you know the ones: are we creating self-sustaining killer robots that will eventually cause an apocalyptic nuclear holocaust, destroying all of mankind in the process?), and merely marvel at the unquestionable genius behind the latest modular robotics.
First, I went to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh to check out Frostbite – the seventh …
Read moreEpisode 7 - Competitive & Eco TV's
There’s nothing quite like a Gadget Show challenge to bring out the competitive side in our presenters… especially when it’s the “Competitive Challenge”! Gail (taking part in her first ever Gadget Show challenge) takes on Jason in a series of competitions, starting with a race on two hi-tech, hybrid bicycles. Next up, the duo attempt to relax while playing computer games, before testing two t…

Dancers on the Super Theatre stage at the live show
Two years ago, a bunch of blokes in suits from a company called Upper Street Events took me and my boss, Richard Pearson, out for fish and chips and said they’d like to help us organise a live exhibition based around The Gadget Show. It seemed like a good idea, the fish and chips were very tasty and so it all began.
After a whole load of planning and a lot of worries about whether any exh…

Crowds and crowds of people baying to see all the new tech!
The Gadget Show Live isn’t all about suspending our loveable presenters from a twenty-foot cable and catapulting all-terrain laptops at them in front of a massive audience till they cry. No. There are also loads of exciting new tech launches that may tickle your fancy. Here’s the lowdown…
LG, in a Dick Tracy-esque manouvre, have launched the world’s first 3G Touch Watch Phone. It’s a follo…

Jason on the big screen at the Super Theatre stage
Phew! So day one of the excellent (yet exhausting) Gadget Show Live has come to a close – it’s now time to crank up the hard drives once again for day two.
With more tech based geekery on display than John Bentley could shake an iPhone at it’s hard to pick out the highlights – there’ve been so many. From 3D TV, RAF jet fighters, and the latest in gaming to simulators, retro gadgets and car t…

It's a rich man's world...
Footballers. More money than sense. So what should they spend it on? How about this little lot...
Just suppose for a minute that money was no object, what would you buy? That’s the conundrum faced by today’s mega-rich footballers. Some say they’re overpaid, but we say, they’ve got their own problems: what expensive toys should they buy!
Naturally Jason and myself have taken it upon ourselves to help out them out by picking out a selection of the most desirable and decadent gadgets we cou…
