SIG: Plogg – energy monitoring bluetooth plugs for a greener home and grid
Bluetooth techonology doesn’t all have to be all about handsfree kits and trinkets for mobile phones.

SIG: Mr Handsfree Blue Alert – bluetooth speaker and speed camera avoidance system
I was slightly bombarded with speakerphone hands free kits at the SIG Bluetooth event and, as old and unimaginative as Bluetooth car solutions are, I quite impressed by the Blue Alert from Mr Handsfree.

SIG: Motorola S9 HD Bluetooth Headset
I've been having a stroll around the Bluetooth Special Interest Group's show today, or SIG as they like to be known, and picked up a few sneaky looks at what we can expect in the way of short range wireless gadgetry over the next few months.

As part of the joys of working at Tech Digest, I get to sit in front of a camera and review stuff. Here’s my first effort – the Nokia 6220 Classic.

Shiny Video Review: Philips GoGear SA 2840 MP3 Player
I’ve been having a bit of a play with the Philips GoGear SA 2840 MP3 player. Not a bad device at all. It feels a little light in the hand but the OLED display takes it ahead of the iPod Shuffle…
Shiny Preview: Nikon P6000 – the daddy of the compact world
You may have had a look at the Nikon P6000 in amongst all the other Coolpix releases this morning. You can’t have missed it, it stands out like a sore thumb, largely because it looks more like an SLR than a standard digi and it costs about the same at a whopping but worth it £429. Now available in 3D – well, through your 2D screen.
