Tech know: Click on mouse - connect mile high - Handless gaming
Got a clip-on fetish? The new Logitech V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks comes with a 'clip-and-go' dock, so named because it enables you to clip the V550 mouse to your laptop and, ahem, go. It also features a'plug-and-forget' receiver - which is so tiny that once it's plugged in, you can forget about it. (Such imaginative names, no?) The receiver's practically flush against the side of the computer, bulging just 8mm, so it doesn't need to be unplugged when your laptop's getting carted around. Dhs199
Wi-Fi as you fly
Now you don't even have to say goodbye to online buddies before boarding your flight - you can chat to them from the air. Delta Air Lines is providing Wi-Fi internet connections on 330 of their domestic aircrafts. Of course, nothing comes for free and there will be a fee of $10-$15, but it's worth it if it means not watching old reruns onboard.
Now Hear This
Keen to share your music? Creative's new ZEN Mozaic packs a built-in speaker that can transform the portable media player into a mini boom-box. The pocket-sized ZEN Mozaic also has a 1.8-inch LCD screen, FM radio and voice recorder and provides up to 32 hours of audio playback with a single battery. The 2GB model costs Dhs299, the 4GB model Dhs399.
Mind games
Technology has come a long way since the days of Pac-Man - it was only a matter of time before someone would invent a video game that does not require you to even use your hands. Emotiv's EPOC headset offers you just that. This cutting-edge technology, made up of brain sensors and a helmet, will allow players to move things with their thoughts. Due to be released at the end of this year in the US for $299.
What next?
Obsession's white gold and classic yellow gold collections are for those who dont cringe when reading their credit card statements.

Yellow gold is Dhs11,999, the white gold Dhs9,999 at select Cellucom stores.
No A/C necessary
Need to recharge your mobile, but there's no power source handy? Whip into Enoc, Eppco, Emarat, Sharaf DG, Cellucom or i2 and get yourself a Satsuma cordless mobile charger. You simply plug it into your mobile, recharge it and you've got up to 60 minutes talk time or 20 hours standby. Dhs25
