So I’ve bought a few gadgets and accessories of late and its time to write a review as some of them are worth the money and some are not and I don’t want people going and spending their money to find products are crap (like I have done!)

Logitech Portable Lapdesk

I’m guilty of using my laptop on my lap in the lounge. But I’ve given myself a few sore shoulders making piles of books etc so that I can use my mouse instead of the track pad. I prefer to play my games and drive my laptop with a mouse, but its not practical to do so. This weekend I picked up a Logitech Portable Lapdesk. Already, the improvement is awesome. I’m using my mouse and comfortable – no shoulder or arm pain to be found.

The lapdesk has a sliding part that comes out and is more than ample for using a notebook mouse. Its also washable (!) and very lightweight, making it very portable. It also is doing a good job of keeping my lap cool and assisting in ventilation. I’m really loving this Lapdesk and now I’m wondering why I haven’t picked up one earlier!

Belkin iPhone Car Holder

After driving through road works, highways and suburban streets with this attached to my windscreen, I have one piece of advice. Save your money and don’t buy this. I have lost count of how many times this fell off and smacked me in the knees on the way down with my iPhone still attached. It even fell off my windscreen while my car was parked up at work and in the driveway overnight. Belkin stuff is usually great quality, but their iPhone Car Holder has dropped the ball. Big time.

Logitech Harmony PS3 Adapter

Its one less remote, what can I say? It was set up within all of 3 minutes and works straight out of the box like anything Logitech should. I’ve heard there are a few faulty ones out there, so I’m going to reduce the score, but if you have a PS3 and a Logitech Harmony Remote, you MUST get one of these!

Its small receiver is barely noticeable on your hi fi rack and in true Logitech fashion, is pretty stylish. You may find yourself not wanting to hide it away on the rack and have it somewhere more visible – potential poser value! The receiver does a fantastic job of taking the infrared signals from your Harmony Remote and converting them into the Bluetooth commands that only the Playstation can understand. As for the X O etc buttons, they’re custom buttons on the screen of my remote, but other remotes may be different. And I love having one remote!

I’ve bought some other gadgets and accessories and I will review them in good time! I’ve got my hands on a selection of iPhone cases… DISCLAIMER: I paid for all of these from my own pocket. Simple. Now broke. Please use the contact me form to arrange sending me your gadgets! LOL!
