Bongo Drop

What sets the Bongo Drop apart from other novelty mobile speakers is its range of inputs, which cover miniUSB, Micro SD slot and an all-purpose 3.5 jack and Bluetooth.

Battery life is good for about four hours, depending on volume and an included silicone cover should keep it safe from simple bumps and spills.

Price: £59

Panasonic W850

The key talking point of Panasonic’s HC-W850 flagship camcorder is its Twin Camera function which enables users to capture two scenes at once – made possible by the rotatable sub camera on the side of the LCD screen.

The video recorded by the sub camera appears in a small window on the display, enabling users to compose two scenes at once, such as a close-up shot and background shot in the same direction, and front and side shots.

The W850 has an all-new lens, sensor and engine for powerful zooming and high light sensitivity and incredible image quality and for the first time in a consumer video camera, a four-drive lens system  is incorporated to enable a powerful 20x optical zoom within a compact body size.

Price: €839

Archos Smartwatch e-ink

Currently just called the Archos Smartwatch, the firm’s top of the range model uses an e-ink screen like the Pebble. The device is much more stylish with the metal finish and the fact the screen is curved.

The device will show the time permanently and you’ll be able to control music from it. Once again, Archos tells us that it is looking to develop some apps for the Smartwatch.

If all goes to plan, you’ll be able to get your hands on the e-ink Smartwatch in May or June for just around €120.
