Fathers Day
Someone in my family was lucky enough to receive a Sony PSP over the weekend. The Sony PSP is a fun device. The PSP can play music. The PSP can surf the Internet. The PSP can even view photos and DVD's. The PSP is also pretty good as a games console apparently.
The PSP is attractively styled in black although, bizarrely, my model came with a hideous white strap and incongruous white earphones.
I connected the PSP to my wireless network and to my amazement, it worked first time so I was able to upgrade the PSP software using 'Network Update'.

Oh and the lucky person wasn't me.

However, after the novelty wore off, I didn't use it much other than a few shortlived pointless games and as a glorified address book when sending out my Christmas cards. Years later, I worked with some young, trendy individuals who wore Diesel trousers who taunted me as they all gradually acquired new, shiny Palm PDA's. Of course, I simply couldn't face them with my ... Read moreprobably the best gadget in the world

- Do not need any maintenance like winding or changing the batteries.
- Automatically adjust for GMT/BST.
- Automatically adjust for current timezone anywhere in the world.
- Light. I don't want or need a micro-computer on my wrist that also tells me the weather, my resting heartbeat and the altitude. ...
