The Wee console which plays DVDs, not games
Now, on one hand you have the Wii, a games console which doesn’t play DVDs. On the other hand, you’ve got the Wee, a DVD player which doesn’t play games. If only someone would join the two together in holy matrimony and declare them Wii-Wee, all would be right in this universe…

20 exclusive beta invitations to RealPlayer to give away right now!
Hopefully most of you would be familiar with RealPlayer, the cross-platform media player which plays numerous multimedia formats such as MP3, MPEG4, QuickTime and Windows Media.

If ever there was a piece of technology that couldn’t be suited more aptly to Nathan Barley, it’s this – the Pacemaker Pocket DJ MP3 player. Based on the notion that simply listening to your East-London grime on any old MP3 player in its original recording is just not good enough for ‘self-facilitating media nodes’ such as Barley, the 120-GB player features DJ mixing technology internally, where you can cross-fade, add effects plus a bunch of other spiffy pieces…
