THE BEAR GRYLLS OF BLOWERS: Sony Xperia Go

This rugged looking fellow is Sony's first foray into "lifestyle-beating" handsets. The IP7- compliant handset's 3.5-inch screen is wrought from purest, scratch-resistant mineral glass and can track even moistened fingers. Inside there's a decidedly macho-sounding "NovaThor" 1GHz dualcore processor, Android Gingerbread and a five-meg/720p camera. Nails, mate.

Behold the Megatelly: Sharp Aquos LC-90LE745U

LG's 55in OLED TV may be a wafer-thin slice of the future, but how many chances do you get to show off how light a television it is? Sharp's latest set Isn't as high-tech — though it still has 3D, smart services and an 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio — but it does have one advantage. When people come round and say, "What on earth is that 90in monstrosity?", you can reply, "That? Oh, it's the largest LED TV in the world."$11,000 | sharp.com

Maybe it's a toaster: Bang & Olufsen Playmaker

As games go, there is none older or more popular than What-The-Hell-is-That. The ancients played it when they saw a meteor or unusual frog, the first scientists played it with early telescopes, and now we're playing it with Whatever-The-Hell-This_Thing is. A router? A smoke alarm? OK, our guess... a digital music streamer that plays lossless audio via DLNA or AirPlay, and turns a pair of speakers into a wireless hi-fi controlled by B&O's fab BeoPlay app. Wait, right first time? No way!£400 | bang-olufsen.com

Plane sight: Spyhawk

Remote control planes are fun, but when flying one there's always that moment when your little plane is really high in the air, and it becomes a speck, and you realise that you, too, are just a tiny, temporary speck in an unimaginably huge, uncaring universe, Not if you're flying the Spyhawk — the controller's 3.5in screen shows a live feed from its 5MP front camera, so even at its maximum range of 600m, you've still got an unrealistic sense of your own place in life.

DenonAH-NCW500: PUMP UP THE VOLVO-UME

Alltoo often when a gadgufacturer tries to make products 'retro' they end up looking like Sputnik satellites with a sideline in panini-making. But Denon has crafted a pair of high-end, noise-cancelling headphones that hark back to the true golden age of transport — Dad's car, c.1987. With a look that's part boombox, part Volvo 340, these 40mm-driver, Bluetooth 3.0 babies are built for comfort, have a 'control wheel' on the side for playback, volume and talk control, and boast sound-deadening tech to silence annoying aircraft noise — or annoying kids begging for a toilet break. Now for some Phil Collins...

As hot as...driving a Ford Capri with Jenny Agutter
