A dose of media tablet
The latest model of the Archos internet media tablet is definitely smaller than its predecessors and offers mobile web surfing at the palm of your hand. The gadget has a 5-inch touch screen and wifi to let you surf the internet, play movies and view photos as well as schedule and record your favourite TV programs and download movies and muzak. Sleek.

The first item on the list brings the word "handy" to a whole new level. The "world's first watch mobile" by Touchmate definitely caught my eye. I was thinking about the countless people out there who have lost their mobile phones.
Well guys, there's no way you can try to lose this one if its strapped on your wrist! What is also great about it is its functionability. Aside from making calls, the gadget has a built-in camera and touch screen, it also has a voice and video recorder, a T-flash card slot and a stereo bluetooth headset. It's in triband as well so you can use it anywhere in the world.

Panasonic reps said their record breaking "world's largest plasma screen TV" is not out in the market yet, but they promised it would be launched soon.
