The optional stand can be used to conserve real estate, however, the system can work vertically or horizontally. Between the two charging chambers is what looks like a Wii remote speaker, but we never heard any sound coming from it during our testing. Charging your Wii remotes with the Induction System is a snap. Once you've installed the included NiMH batteries, you rest your remote on either groove and an orange LED light shines to let you know charging has begun. A green LED will appear once the remote is at full capacity.'

The chunky plastic styling and streamlined dragster design stands it apart from the army of boxy electric mowers out there. The wheels look robust (although they're not rubber), the grass collector hooks up seamlessly and the handle and power arm both feel solid. At 12.8kg it isn't the heftiest machine on the market, but the lack of bulk makes it surprisingly easy to carry and manoeuvre across the lawn. Thanks to the solidly built 40-litre grass collector though it isn't a compact machine; you'll need a shed or garage to store it, rather than an under stairs cupboard.'

A review of the Zoom H4N digital recorder has been posted over at TrustedReviews.com 'To adjust settings and get the H4n doing whatever it is you need it to, you're reliant on a 1.9in, backlit monochrome display, a selection of face-mounted buttons and a jog dial on the right hand side, which you can use to navigate the various menus. You'll also find playback volume and record volume rockers on the left and right-hand sides, respectively. This is where things get tricky. The H4N has three main modes of operation, and a fairly bewildering range of options in each. The functions of the different buttons and the availability of particular settings varies from mode to mode, and while the menus are actually quite sensibly structured, it takes a certain amount of time before you work out what is where.'

Wi-Ex-zBoost-zPersonal-Cell-Signal-Booster.jpg

A review of the Wi-Ex zBoost zPersonal Cell Signal Booster has been posted over at PaulStamatiou.com. 'The premise behind cell phone signal boosters, the zPersonal included, is pretty simple. There are two antennas. One goes nearest the area of the room where there is some cell phone signal reception. That signal gets processed and amplified through the powered unit and gets pumped out the other end, which you place close to where you need reception. Both antennas are used for receiving and transmitting, with the one mounted where there is reception being the actual end point talking to cell phone towers. It's important to understand that such a device cannot just make a signal. It has to use at least a weak signal to boost.

A review of the Mophie Juice Pack Air rechargeable portable battery pack has been posted over at Think Computers.org. 'The Juice Pack Air is different from previous Juice Pack's from Mophie. Previous versions were just a cradle that you slid your iPhone into and did not offer protection for the rest of your iPhone. The Juice Pack Air is a full case that protects both the top and bottom of your iPhone. Towards the bottom of the case you will see the dock connector. We received the white version of the Juice Pack Air, but it also comes in black and purple.'

Pocket-Lint have published a review of the Siemens EQ.7 bean-to-cup coffee machine. 'With its blue neon LEDs and piano black finish it would be a cold heart that didn't lust after the EQ.7. Its stunning looks are more top-end tech than kitchen appliance - which is just as well, because at 30cm wide it's going to take pride of place wherever you put it in the kitchen. Turn it on and a host of neon blue LEDs light up the machine like it's the Tate Modern. Sounds cheesy but trust us, it looks fantastic and while it has no bearing on the quality of the coffee, this reviewer doesn't mind a bit of a show ... especially for £1300.'

A review of the Festool T15+3 cordless drill has been posted over at the Festool Owners Group. 'This is the first tool to be released with Festool's new Systainer with the storage compartment in the lid. The compartment has a clear plastic lid, the two long dividers are fixed and the small ones a removable (nine removable dividers included). With the storage in the lid and inside there is a fair amount of space to keep bits and/or fasteners with the drill. Grab one Systainer and you're ready for to get to work, nice.'
