Kylie costumes go on display

09 February 2007

A selection of Kylie Minogue's costumes has gone on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, leading to controversy over whether the exhibition should be considered as art.

Critics have claimed that Kylie's gold hotpants from the Spinning Around video and dungarees from her role as Charlene in Neighbours should not be classed as art.

However, Victoria and Albert director Mark Jones argued that the display is based on the design of the outfits, rather than on their artistic merit.

"We are a museum for design in all its forms," he claimed.

"The underlying assumption, which I don't think is necessarily the right assumption, is that everything you see in a museum is a tribute to the individual involved," Mr Jones added.

He continued to state that celebrities play "an incredibly important part" in the culture of the present day.

While tickets to the exhibition are free, the museum is encouraging visitors to prebook to avoid being turned away due to overwhelming popularity.

'Homeowners should remortgage' following base rate decision 09 February 2007 Now may be a good time to remortgage, according to an independent mortgage adviser. John Charcol is suggesting that consumers may wish to seek the best deal on their mortgage borrowing, following this week's interest rate decision. The Bank of England's monetary policy committee (MPC) voted on Thursday to maintain the base rate of interest at 5.25 per cent following an increase of 0.25 per cent in January. However, John Charcol still advises that savings may be possible as the market continues to react to January's rise. Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at the firm, noted that the decision suggested the Bank has few concerns about its upcoming inflation report. "No doubt the MPC will also have taken into account the fact that much of the impact of the last three increases, particularly November's and January's, is still to be reflected in the various statistics," he added. Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at analyst Global Insight, anticipated that the MPC will have been divided over the vote in a similar way to the one-vote majority which carried the January increase into effect. © Adfero Ltd

PSP games Review 09 February 2007 Toca Race Driver 3 Challenge is now available as a playable demo, it has been announced. A total of three events can be played by gamers willing to endure a 22Mb download and a firmware upgrade to version 3.10. The less adventurous may still not have to wait too long, as the scheduled release date for the completed game is now a week away. But for those who cannot wait that long, this demo represents a chance to get behind the wheel of the Ultima GTR for a handling trial, the Opel Vectra GTS V8 in a head-to-head race against a computer opponent, or a destruction derby-style pack race among a host of Mercedes Benz W196 rivals. Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony is the latest addition to the classic series and has been designed specifically with PSP gameplay in mind. The single player mode is said to be non-linear, allowing for a little extra freedom within the storyline, while multiplayer gaming is also supported. When no friends are around to play against, companionship is provided in the form of an in-game familiar to accompany the main character. This character, while not fully customisable, may be selected from a choice of three to reflect the mood of the gamer. Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 5 provides all the fast-paced action and near-realism which could be expected of the game on a full-sized console, according to the producers. The version for the PSP is also said to feature the full list of 57 national teams and 136 domestic league sides, so none of the competitive edge need be lost. Multiplayer gaming takes full advantage of the PSP's wireless networking capabilities, allowing players to go head-to-head as well as maintaining a tally of who has won the most games, while single player mode takes place across a total of six leagues. © Adfero Ltd

MP3 players Review 08 February 2007 Samsung has unveiled its T9 MP3 player with the promise: "Name a favourite feature, Samsung's T9 MP3 player's got it." This includes a list of capabilities including MP3, photo and video playback, support for music subscription sites and networking via bluetooth. The radio tuner operates on the FM band and allows audio to be recorded to the device's memory directly from the radio and via an onboard microphone. Storage capacity is up to 4Gb as standard while the addition of bluetooth means wireless headsets can be used. Samsung suggests that headsets fitted with basic play controls could allow the T9 to be stowed away in a pocket or bag. Perhaps more suitable for the younger audiophile is the Hello Kitty KT2048C MP3 player and USB memory stick from Spectra. This comes with a modest 128Mb of onboard storage capacity, which Spectra says is sufficient for about 30 songs in MP3 format or 60 songs in compressed windows media audio. However, a slot permits the addition of an SD or MMC card to provide up to an extra 1Gb of storage. Users who wish to protect their music collection may welcome the device's support for digital rights management. The battery is expected to last for up to eight hours per charge and draws its power from the USB port while music is being transferred. Also in the novelty MP3 players market, Sony's Walkman E series has seen the addition of the strictly limted Gachapin edition. This reptilian character is a hit with children in Japan and accordingly has been given his own incarnation in digital media form. The standard Walkman E has been made available in a special lime green casing in both 512Mb and 1Gb capacities. These come with soft cloth Gachapin covers and matching carry-pouches. However, availability is limited to 300 of the 512Mb player and 200 of the 1Gb device. © Adfero Ltd

DVD players Review 08 February 2007 Peekton's PK6005 MKII Black is a limited edition version of the PK6005 model with support for a variety of media formats. Rewriteable discs of both the DVD-RW and DVD+RW standards are able to be read by the DVD player, which can also play files in Divx 3-6, Bivx, Xvid and mp4. Discrete 5.1 audio channels are outputted from discs with Dolby Digital, DTS and Pro Logic II soundtracks. Multi-region support means discs from all over the world should be playable, while switching between Pal and NTSC video formats is possible either automatically or via a manual override on the remote control. The Ministry of Sound MOSDV124 2.1 micro system is a slightly more compact offering, without surround sound but with two speakers and a subwoofer included in the price. These are finished in the same glossy casing as the DVD player itself, with the addition of aluminium speaker grilles. In all, the system has an audio power output of 65 watts. To take advantage of this, the player is capable of reading audio CDs, writeable and rewriteable discs and mp3s, as well as video DVDs. An integrated FM/MW digital tuner completes the offering, with the currently tuned frequency displayed on a front-mounted fluorescent panel. On the cutting edge of current technology, LG has released the first dual-format next-generation DVD player to support both high-definition DVDs and the developing Blu-Ray specification. The launch has taken place quickly, as the appliance was unveiled for the first time at last month's Consumer Electronics Show. The company says that the Super Multi Blue Player, model name BH100, is its attempt to ensure the high-definition television market expands in accordance with the development of next-generation multimedia. Surround sound output is made possible via 5.1 sockets, coaxial and optical connections. © Adfero Ltd

Nintendo DS games Review 07 February 2007 Nintendo has announced that Diddy Kong Racing is to appear on the Nintendo DS and is hoping that it "drives fans wild". The company expects to capitalise on the continued success of Mario Kart DS, which it says has sold 1.5 million copies in the US alone. For Diddy Kong DS, new characters have been introduced along with Wi-Fi capabilities for competitive gaming. Players are told they may expect more of a storyline than with traditional racing games, as they are expected to fight off an invasion of alien space pigs over the course of 38 racing-related adventures with Diddy, the diminutive monkey, taking the starring role. In related primate news, Gorilla Systems has developed the first Nancy Drew game for the Nintendo DS, according to the game's distributor Majesco. Nancy Drew and the Deadly Secret of Olde World Park is scheduled for worldwide release later this year and requires the player to solve 15 puzzles through a process of deductive reasoning. Only by successfully completing all 15 chapters will they find the overall solution to the game's mystery, the disappearance of millionaire Thaddeus Belmont, Majesco claims. Both touch screen and the stylus must be employed to carry out certain functions, the company adds, such as progressing through conversations and accessing Nancy's inventory. Those who prefer their furry friends on a slightly smaller scale may be intrigued by Purr Pals, the new interactive pet program from Crave Entertainment. Players may choose from up to 40 breeds of kitten to virtually adopt and raise in a customisable environment. Kittens may be given a name and can be trained over time, according to Crave, including the ability to teach them to respond to voice commands. Meanwhile, they are also able to interact with the environment as new objects are placed within it. A touch of responsibility is added by the need to earn an allowance with which to buy kitty treats. © Adfero Ltd

LCD/Plasma screens Review 07 February 2007 Sony's KDL32U2000U is a 32" HD-ready liquid crystal display (LCD) television from the Bravia brand. It comes with support for a range of inputs and outputs, including the high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), two separate RGB connections, component video input and the ability to act as a computer monitor. An integrated digital decoder provides Freeview channels as well as ensuring the unit is future-proofed against the switchover from analogue transmissions. Sony promises high-quality images in any lighting conditions, while the device may be wall-mounted for the perfect viewing angle. Picture-in-picture functionality allows the screen to be used as a television and a monitor at the same time. The 32LC2D from LG Electronics is also 32" in size with tuners both for digital broadcasts and also to decode digital cable signals. Analogue signals undergo a total of six enhancements to provide what LG terms "near HD levels" of image quality. Meanwhile, the 178-degree viewing angle along both axes suggests there should be no problem for people watching the screen from the edges of the room. The estimated lifetime of the LCD unit itself is 60,000 hours, or almost seven years of constant use. Connections are provided for HDMI, composite video and component DVD inputs, as well as side-mounted RGB and SVHS sockets for easy access. Sanyo's CE32LD6B is a widescreen 32" LCD television with native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It comes complete with an integrated digital tuner for Freeview broadcasts, plus support for Top-up TV, the add-on subscription service which provides additional channels for a monthly fee. This unit may be suitable for people with a lot of devices to attach as it comes with three separate scart sockets, two RGB connections and an HD multimedia interface. A seven-day electronic programming guide is provided, with audio reproduced in virtual Dolby surround sound. © Adfero Ltd

Wireless networks Review 06 February 2007 Netgear has announced its RangeMax Next wireless ADSL modem router, model number DG834N, which it claims is sufficient to supply next-generation wireless networking capabilities to the entire house. Through the use of 'steady stream' technology, the company suggests that a consistent connection should be achieved, while bandwidth management functions allow for multitasking without an impact on download speeds. Downstream of up to 24 Mbps is possible thanks to compatibility with ADSL 2+ devices, with networking components which have Intensi-fi technology able to interoperate with the router at speeds of up to 270 Mbps. Belkin has incorporated a modem into its wireless N1 modem router. The reflective black panelling now houses an ADSL modem, while the front panel shows a range of icons to enable the user to tell if there are any problems with the internet connection. Each stage of the connection is represented, with the intention being that the router will correctly identify the point of failure, should the internet connection be lost. Up to 32 computers may connect simultaneously, with network functionality allowing for files to be transferred between computers at speeds of up to 300 Mbps, according to Belkin. D-Link claims that its new range of wireless network hubs allow for easy access to the internet via wireless connections while on the move. The company suggests that by incorporating features of Wi-Fi technology with a broadband connection, hotspots may be established via which other computers may gain direct access to the internet. By attaching a notebook wireless networking card into the supplied PCMCIA slot, wireless connections may be accessed and distributed across the network, according to D-Link. Up to four devices may connect via traditional wired ethernet ports, while without the PCMCIA card the hubs may still provide wireless networking capabilities between devices. © Adfero Ltd

Gadgets Review 06 February 2007 Trust's TB-3100 wireless graphics tablet provides an A5 workspace and connects directly via USB for a high-speed interaction between the stylus and on-screen display. Moreover, the inclusion of a wireless mouse means there is no need to unplug any cables when wishing to use a more traditional method of controlling the computer. The graphics tablet draws its power from the USB socket, meaning there are no batteries to charge, while both the mouse and the stylus come with three additional function buttons, one of which is the pen tip with 512 sensitivity levels to accurately relate the amount of pressure applied. Meanwhile, the Wacom Intuos 3 is aimed at the "serious photographer, designer and artist", the company says. The pen tip here is more sensitive to differences in pressure, with a total of 1,024 different levels distinguishable and which Wacom says may be used to adjust opacity and other darkness settings in paint packages. Additional mouse features may also be accessed via five different onboard buttons, while the symmetrical design means left-handed users should have no comfort issues. Wacom add a touch-sensitive strip to the tablet to allow for zoom settings and scrolling to be intuitively carried out. For those who want the convenience of a digital stylus without requiring a graphics tablet, Logitech has announced the io2 digital pen. This is able to function as a normal ink pen, with the added ability that everything written with it is also stored on 'digital paper' within the device's onboard memory. A tiny camera captures the pen's movement across the paper, with up to 40 A5 pages being stored before the device is full. Logitech produces special 'smart paper' to ensure motion is accurately recognised, as well as suggesting that businesses may be able to create custom smart forms to fully utilise the technology. © Adfero Ltd

Mobile phones Review 05 February 2007 Sony Ericsson has breathed new life into the clamshell phone market with the announcement of the W51S, a textured flip phone with glowing icons similar to those found on the Z310. However, the overall impression of the W51S is said to be more appealing thanks to a less reflective surface in a choice of black, silver or pink. The W51S measures in at less than two centimetres thick, with dimensions of 19.3mm x 105mm x 48mm, while housing a widescreen 2.7-inch display which is said to use RealityMAX technology to increase resolution. A two-megapixel camera should take plenty of pictures before the 120 megabytes of internal memory are filled. Those with slightly niche requirements from their phone may welcome the announcement of the Fujitsu F703i, which the company claims is the slimmest waterproof phone available. And when they say waterproof, they mean just that - the handset can reportedly withstand being run under the tap or being submerged for up to 30 minutes. It is slightly slimmer than the Sony W51S with a profile of 17.9 millimetres, albeit with a similarly smaller 2.2-inch screen. The quirkiest feature may be the 'relax mode' which cycles through 15 light patterns, accompanied by soft music, when the phone is left idle. Among upcoming mobile phone designs, a patent was filed recently for a phone with the keypad placed above the screen. Designer Anthony Harrison of London claims that this places the thumb in an ideal position for composing text messages when the lower part of the phone is cradled in the hand. Furthermore, he suggests that holding a larger portion of the handset provides greater stability and security. Mr Harrison included proposals that designs based on the patent may incorporate touchscreen technology and other functions such as cameras and digital organisers. © Adfero Ltd
