Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC)

Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC) Boasting Nikon's fully multicoated optical system and innovative adjustment technologies, the tried-and-trusted ProStaff 3-9x40 riflescope offers a superior hunting performance at a price that fits into the budget of virtually any hunter. The scope's optical system transmits up to 98 percent of available light, ensuring maximum brightness from dawn to dusk. To simplify field adjustments, Nikon also integrated a zero-reset turret into the riflescope. Just sight in as usual, lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your "zero," and re-engage. Field adjustments are now as simple as dialing in your subsequent ranges. And hunters will love the patented BDC reticle, which allows them to hold "dead on" at ranges exceeding those previously thought possible. The BDC's unique see-through ballistic circles offer an incredible advantage for long-range shooting, yet allow a normal sight picture for shorter-range shots where the crosshair itself is the aiming point.

2011 Mavic Wintech Ultimate USB - Wireless Computer

2011 Mavic Wintech Ultimate USB - Wireless Computer

If you're a serious peddler, you know Mavic. We're happy to report that the company's WinTech Ultimate USB Wireless Computer will appeal to high-level cyclists. From its diminutive size and light weight to its mu ltiple telemetry reports for cadence and speed information, it looks, feels and performs like a device for pros. The computer communicates wirelessly with heart and cadence sensors to provide the usual array of data points-heart rate, cadence, speed-and the " Alti" model provides altitude as well. The hardware does not, however, provide GPS data. But serious cyclists know where they're riding, right?

Review Motorola Defy

Motorola Defy 
A lovely screen and rugged design go hand in hand with a very reasonable price

Daft names clearly aren't the preserve of desktop PC manufacturers, but ignore the Defy moniker and this is a gem of a smartphone. Motorola's latest model has a lovely 3.7in, 480 x 854 capacitive screen - that's a higher resolution than the giant HTC Desire HD - and a lot more besides.

If the screen doesn't catch your eye, the unusual design certainly will. With its exposed screw heads and grippy plastic chassis, the Defy looks more like a rugged GPS than a modern smartphone, but it isn't just for looks.

Apple TV

Not a television per se, Apple TV is a neat box that streams your iTunes assets from a drive on your network, and movies and TV shows direct from the iTunes Store with the help of Apple Remote.

Steve Jobs famously described Apple TV as a hobby. It's a monicker that has unfortunately stuck, despite the product being far more powerful and exciting than earlier editions.
The new Apple TV is a small. neat black box. It's far smaller than previous editions - 80% smaller, in fact - having lost the earlier Apple TV's internal hard drive. It has no moving parts, and thus no fan, so it's entirely silent and perfect for sitting in the living room below your television.
Apple TV is, in effect, the ultimate iTunes add-on. It connects to your shared media library to stream your movies, TV shows and music.
