Ever wanted to become Tony Stark? Or more specifically Iron Man and wear that amazingly colourful armour? Well now you can start your very own collection with Iron Man’s ‘BETA’ helmet (or Mk 01) that he made from rocks and cockroaches whilst being held captive by the terrorists in the film.
GadgetShop - All Gadgets VAT-Free (15% off)
December 17, 2008
That’s right folks, the GadgetShop currently have a great promotion on where they have reduced all the prices of their hi-tech gadgets by the amount equal to VAT on them, that’s a 15% reduction in prices ahead of Christmas to you and me!
I’ve always remembered visiting the original GadgetShop stores when they first appeared here in the UK, it was a great experience to not only see these gadgets, but also to see them working and sometimes even have a play with them yourself. Definitely one of the highlights of my visits to the Trafford Centre!

December 8, 2008
I seem to be on a real R2D2 theme in the last week what with the R2D2 projection alarm clock and now this R2D2 USB Hub, perhaps it’s because I’m watching the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon on TV and the last couple of episodes have been about everyone’s favourite little droid!
Functionally this is the same kind of thing as the Transformers All Spark Cube USB Hub I recently wrote about, in that it plugs into one of your USB sockets and then allows you to plug in up to 4 USB devices into it which is especially useful if you’ve run out of USB sockets on your computer and don’t want the hassle of opening your computer to add further sockets.

December 5, 2008
The UK gadget site, Gaj-It.com is celebrating the fact that it’s now been going for two years – quite an accomplishment for any blogging website - well done guys! I first became aware of them after I met them at the LG Secret launch event and have been a fan of their’s ever since.
If you’ve not seen their UK Gadget site, which has recently had a design makeover, then be sure to take look!

December 4, 2008
When I saw this R2D2 projection alarm clock, I thought that it might be just what I need in my search for an effective alarm clock to get me up early and working away – that or it’s just a really cool novelty piece of Star Wars merchandise!
I recently wrote about the retro iPod alarm clock, but you could class this as being a retro classic too, I mean who wouldn’t want a little astro-droid to project the time onto their walls or ceiling?
I’m thinking this could be a great thing for me and people like me who are short-sighted – a pet-hate of mine is not being able to make out what time it is on my clock/watch without moving over to them for a close look – I’m hoping that having my own R2D2 will fix that by projecting a large red image of the time onto my wall or ceiling!

December 4, 2008
As Zath HQ is not based in London, we feel very little attachment to the geography of the Monopoly board - Old Kent Road had no tangible meaning and Pall Mall means next to nothing. How much better would it be if you could actually make your own Monopoly choosing the names of the streets and call them whatever the hell you want. Well now you can!
With My Monopoly you actually get the opportunity to have the board printed with whatever names you chose. This means you could be playing the “business man’s board game of choice” around your very own town and you can chose whether you live in Old Kent Road or Pal Mall.

December 3, 2008
As Christmas is fast approaching, here at Zath we’re trying to find those little extra ‘stocking fillers’ to get your loved ones, kids or even yourselves.
So, whilst out looking for things, I came across this little beauty which was quite exciting to some extent – it’s only a Portable Megadrive!
There are 20 pre-loaded games available on this handheld Sega Megadrive which include:
Sonic & Knuckles, Shinobi III - Return Of The Ninja Master, Alex Kidd (and the Enchanted Castle), Alien Storm, Altered Beast, Arrow Flash, Columns III, Crack Down, Decap Attack, Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, E Swat, Ecco, Ecco Jr, Flicky, Gain Ground, Golden Axe, Jewel Master, Kid Chameleon, Sonic Spinball, Shadow Dancer.

December 2, 2008
With the recent small reduction in VAT (Value Added Tax) here in the UK, while it makes for cheaper prices for us consumers, it will obviously cause certain issues to companies, especially where their prices cannot be quickly updated as a result of a VAT rate change.
One of our favourite places to buy gadgets from, Firebox, is currently working to update their prices across the site, however until that is completed, they are offering a promotional Firebox voucher code that you can use at the checkout to save the difference in price.

December 1, 2008
These USB batteries have been around for a while now, I’ve not really looked into these before, however I’m now starting to run out of batteries for my various devices and remote controls. So instead of just buying a load more standard AA rechargeable batteries I thought I’d take a look at these to see how they compare.
The USB batteries are pretty useful as rechargeable batteries go - AA batteries that you can flip the top off (positive terminal end) to then reveal a standard USB connector that can be plugged into one of your computer’s USB ports and be re-charged from your computer of choice, be it your desktop or laptop (useful if you’re on the move), plus you could even plug them into your Xbox 360!
