 Sennheiser PXC 250 noise cancellers |
Awesome headphones. Powered by two AAA batteries, these headphones from the specialists Sennheiser, cancel out ambient background noise. They can silence an office, filter out plane cabin, train and tube noise, and add clarity to music while listening in a noisy environment. I've heard noise-cancellers before, but these are truly impressive. | Priced from £65 from Empire Direct , Play.com & John Lewis |
 iPaq rx3715 |
Those who know me, will know I've been a dedicated Psion user for some years. Now, my machine of choice is a Pocket PC. I'm using an HP iPaq rx3715, which offers the standard Pocket PC functionality, has a built-in camera, supports wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and has a superb colour touchscreen. Synchronisation with the PC is very smooth and fault-free, making it a winner over other PDA solutions. | For details, spec and availability, see my pages on the HP iPaq rx3715 and the Pocket PC over at the filesaveas site. |

FM radio and voice recording further extend its versatility. | For a full review of the Creative Zen, plus details on the lowest prices, check out Radio & Telly's Zen Micro page .

| If
you're a fan of the cult sci-fi comedy from the pen of the late Douglas
Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - you'll probably have a favourite

the radio series. If the original radio series is what got you hooked - check out the new series broadcast in 2004 and 2005 |
