Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. If a product addresses a problem, provides a use, makes things better, I am all for it…especially when it comes to gaming.

I recently downloaded a Sega All Stars racing game for the iPod. It’s not a bad little number, but it became apparent immediately that I was struggling with the handling.

Something wasn’t right.

About a week later, I got a Zygnett Zooom to try out. I knew if this was going to work, I should try it with the racing game.

Like I said, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. My performance shot up drastically. A better controlled driving experience.

Simply speaking, the Zooom is a case that houses your iPhone (or iPod Touch) and has two sturdy, ergonomically designed grips meaning the iPhone can be turned, twisted or tilted at any angle.

The Zooom comes with two faceplates so it can be used with both the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch. 

This could be the perfect iPhone Christmas gift this year, it is available from amazon.co.uk for only £24.99.

From my experience, this comes recommended.

Are on the look out for something truly innovative this Christmas for your hard to buy for friends or family?  Do your gift recipients like their fitness or maybe they are wanting to achieve a healthier outlook for the New Year ahead?  Well, I have found the most perfect gift that will truly stand out from the rest!  Newly available in the UK this Autumn / Winter, StepSuccess is a revolutionary new activity tracking gadget used as part of a unique online personalised health and fitness programme.  The ActiPed+ (very like a pedometer) works my measuring foot contact time with the ground; therefore, unlike with most pedometers, shaking the device will not ‘fool’ it.

StepSuccess will give to you a subscription to help your friends and family monitor their daily activity levels for a whole year of fitness in just a simple few steps!  They say:-

“The StepSuccess programme is the first of its kind in the world. We track your movements and monitor fitness levels using the same technology as the Wii - an acceleromoter.  The mini-device, the ActiPed+ , clips neatly onto the outside of your shoes to track four key measurements; the number of steps taken , the distance you’ve covered, how many calories your body has burnt and the length of time you’ve been active.  This advanced technology gives a far greater level of accuracy than traditional pedometers2 and means that you can get a ‘reading’ on all foot based activities from daily chores, walking and running, to cycling, team sports and even swimming (the device is waterproof up to 3 feet).”

Sounds good, doesn’t it!  StepSuccess then creates a personalised health and fitness programme to help improve general fitness levels, support a weight loss programme or help achieve a specific sports or fitness goal such as completing a marathon.  Working very like ‘Facebook’, those who possess the tracking device check their steps and connect with friends, family and colleagues, to help keep on track with fitness goals.  The online community also boasts advice from experts including dieticians, certified personal trainer and motivational coaches, including video tutorials. 

And if you buy in time for Christmas, you can take advantage of a special promotion, saving over 30% at only £67.90 for a 12 month subscription.  The Christmas Promotion Package 2011 (valid: 1st November – 18th December 2011) includes an Actiped+, 1 x ActiLink and a 12 month subscription service including access to Step Success application, group leader boards, pin board to update status, share ideas and progress with others, communicate and compete with your friends, health risk assessment, activity, exercise and wellness video programming and 24/7 technical support

If you are after a new set of headphones and you simply love your tunes, You should really consider the Audéo Perfect Bass earphones from Phonak.

Phonak? Only the world’s leading manufacturer of hearing instruments….they know a thing or two about audio.

image

Audéo Perfect Bass earphones are a new model designed for music-fans seeking a dynamic, powerful bass sound.
Utilising their experience in comfort and fit, the latest innovation from Phonak includes three sets of interchangeable, silicone ear pieces – each ergonomically designed to sit comfortably in the ear, even after hours of use.

The secure fit reduces unwanted external noise by up to 23 decibels – the equivalent of ambient music in a restaurant or background conversation.

Audéo Perfect Bass earphones are fitted with specially designed, in-built filters that ‘tune’ sound waves to boost low frequencies and provide cleaner bass tones. The result is a punchier more exciting output, that doesn’t compromise on the overall sound quality.

What this means is clear crisp sound with no external interference. I have tested a few headphones sets, and I always use the same album. Ryan Adam’s Love is Hell is a corker and it’s great to use this as a reference point for comparisons.

I couldn’t tell you how many times I have listened to this before, but it is a ridiculous number for sure. I chose this cd as I know it so well…..or so I thought.

Your ears pick up these enhanced tones, so you do not have to have the volume set so loud. With the Audéo Perfect Bass earphones, I picked up twangs and bass lines I didn’t hear previously.

Stunning.

I urge you to but a pair and then kick back with your favourite album and then listen to the magic that you never knew was there. And once you have done that, go and ‘Like’ their Facebook page!

Audéo Perfect Bass Earphones are available in black from audeoworld.com, priced at £99 with a microphone and £89.90 without. They are compatible with all standard MP3 players, iPod and iPhone models with a 3.5mm stereo jack.
