Shiny Review: Intempo Digital BTS-01 Stereo Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
Intempo Digital has gained a reputation for producing solidly built, mid-priced gadgets that pack popular technology into a simple, user-friendly exterior. I can see anyone’s parents or technophobe friends being attracted by the smooth, almost retro simplicity of this Bluetooth speaker.
It’s not compact or ultra-exciting in its design, but it won’t look out of place in any living room, bedroom or kitchen. More importantly it’s easy to use and produces reasonable small-scale sound quality. We used it mainly with a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and found that once the phone had picked up the device it was a matter of something like four button presses to get the music going (and obviously that will depend on the device you’re streaming)…

"Fontastic" time telling with the Font Clock
Each to their own — though I love fonts I’m not sure I want different ones adorning my time-telling device.
The Font Clock is “a 21st century take on the British 24 hour clock design icon” which has twelve different fonts printed within the mechanism of the clock, providing a “random” mixed display.
It comes in three sizes. The smallest one, the G100, measures 29 x 14 x 11 cms and displays just the time.

Digital Divide? Over 50% of new TVs sold in UK last year analogue
According to the latest figures from GfK, over half of the 7.5 million TVs sold in the past year were analogue (4.4m).
Though the number of digital TVs sold in the year ending May 2007 had increased almost threefold over the previous year, at just over 3m compared to just over 1m, still more analogue TVs were sold, though the figure had dropped from around 5.6m in 2006 to 4.4m in 2007.
Nick Simon at GfK expressed some concern over the figures. “Unfortunately there were still more than 4 million analogue TVs sold in the last 52 weeks, suggesting that there is still a lot of work required to convert all 25 million plus UK households. This is especially an issue when GfK ConsumerScope research reveals an average of two and a half sets per household.”
