Snowflake usb-microphone

USB devices are all the rage no doubt because of the ease of plug-n-play. We’ve already had USB Turn-tables and we now have USB microphones for all of us aspiring MC’s at GadgetHeat to get down and do our thing.
The Snowflake USB Professional Microphone by Blue Micro is a rather nifty portable little number that can fit into your pocket and then onto your laptop or desktop with a handy little clip. It has a high quality transducer, frequency between 35Hz to 20 KHz which makes …

Our good friends over at PlaystationHeads.co.uk have put up a hands-on mini-review of Haze that you may want to check out before going out and splashing the cash on the game. We had one eye on the launch of this game as it looked pretty tasty from the screenshots we had seen and there were thoughts that this was going to be a Halo for the PS3.

Let’s just say that things aren’t always what they promise to be and it looks like Metal Gear Solid 4 still has a great …

ipoint-presenter
When we at GadgetHeat watched Minority report all those years ago, apart from thinking it was a pretty average film, we did like the gizmo that the erstwhile Tom Cruise got to use. The screen to which he just pointed and moved and re-sized images into whatever shape or size he wanted was pretty nifty to look at and although it looked like something that could become a reality, it did look a long way away from hitting our shelves.
Well fast forward 7 years and it’s finally arrived. The iPoint …

I know that I’m not the only one who gets annoyed when trying to keep my headphone wires from tangling up by themselves or in my clothes and inevitable popping my headphone plugs from out of my ears so the Wire Button by Jaehyung Hong design is a handy little gadget to get your hands on.
Its unobtrusive enough to fit in with whatever you’re wearing and at first glance it even looks like you have iPod shuffle pinned to your chest. You simply …

USB Retro Refrigerator
Summer is fast approaching and like the poet Nelly said it’s getting hot in here (OK, that was cheesy but you get my drift). Like most people these days we at GadgetHeat are going to be stuck behind a computer screen for most of the summer so we need to make the best of it.
We found this little gadget, the USB powered cooler and heater over at chinavision.com and although we’re more into the coke than the carlsberg, its definitely going to come in handy when the temperature …

darkside
We love a shoot-em-up at GadgetHeat and, in a nostalgic moment, I’ve been thinking about getting myself a good scrolling space blast-em-up for a while. DarkSide came to my rescue and it’s a blast from the past with a great modern day twist.
Think of your favourite scrolling space blaster from back in the day (Asteroids springs to mind), pimp it out to the max and you get ‘DarkSide – ArcLight 2′. It’s made by Pieyegames, an independent video games maker with a great reputation for making classic games (two of …
