Sandberg has announced the new USB ChatSet is now available in the UK.
This essentially lets users have both their speakers or a headset connected to the computer’s audio output at the same time.
The Sandberg USB ChatSet installs in Windows as a separate sound card when the USB connector is inserted.
Sandberg explains: “When the speakers are connected to one sound card and the headset is connected to the other sound card, users can select the output you want in the settings for each individual application”.
“Games, Windows Media Player and other applications like them will then always use the speakers, while telephony applications such as Skype consistently use the headset, which means no more changing cables.”
The Sandberg USB ChatSet comes with a 5-year guarantee, and the accessories include a 2.5 metre cable.
It is available now for £19.99 via the Interactive Ideas online store which is accessed via Amazon.

Avenger Series
You don’t have to forfeit performance when you can get the best of both worlds with the ultra portable Avenger Series. These compact yet complex notebooks feature small display sizes and an ergonomic keyboard that doesn’t sacrifice your comfort. Enjoy the enhanced multi-tasking responsiveness with cutting-edge Intel® Core™ 2 dual-core technology every time you power on your Avenger.
AG2 Ideology
If Hypersonic put mobility above anything else performance would have to be a close second. The on-the-go enthusiast wants power regardless of size. With this in mind the AG2 makes performance equally as important as the portability…you don’t have to give up productivity if you want to go 12″.
AG2 Architecture
In the Avenger’s case, looks aren’t everything. Apart from being chic and stylish, the professional-grade Avenger AG2 makes waves in the mobile world, and takes ultra-portables to the next level by making use of Intel’s most powerful Core 2 Duo Processors. For business or play, the AG2’s smart size can go anywhere you can.
Move over Mvix, there’s a new vaquero in town, and it goes by Movie Cowboy. Comically titled as such by manufacturer Digital Cowboy, this portable HD multimedia hard drive comes ready to accept whatever 2.5-inch SATA drive you want to toss within, and after you’ve loaded it up with material via the USB port, you can slam it down in the bundled cradle for big screen enjoyment. Said dock boasts stereo / coaxial digital / Toslink audio outputs along with component / composite / HDMI video outs. The media player itself supports a respectable quantity of file formats, including WMV, DivX HD, MPEG1/2/4, XviD, ISO, IFO, VOB, AAC, WMA, MP3 and OGG. Not that we really see this thing heading Stateside anytime soon, but those in Japan can pick one up in the coming weeks for ¥24,800 ($237).

There is nothing particularly new about a USB pen drive and as the price of flash has dropped considerably of late, it’s now possible to pick up a 4GB one for less than £20.
At first appearances, this makes the latest pen drive from Buffalo all the more unusual. In order to differentiate itself from other devices on the market, Buffalo is clearly playing the capacity and speed angle.
Pitched at those who need fast access to a large number of files, this 16GB key is aimed at business users rather than the casual buyer who shares the odd file between computers.
This isn’t a small device by any definition and uses the same body design that has been around for a couple of years. In comparison, it is twice the size of the SanDisk Tag (recently reviewed) and feels awkward in the pocket.
However, when it comes to capacity and speed there is really no faulting the performance of this key. In our standard 1GB test, it managed to copy the files in 72 seconds, which is amazingly fast, as the SanDisk Tag took 98 seconds to perform the same task.
When it comes to extras, you’ll find Secure LockWare software has been pre-installed, which helps encrypt and lockdown you data. This is something that is vital when you’re potentially carrying your entire work history with you.

If you’re a budding computer graphics artist, you need a pen tablet for drawing and painting onscreen, but these devices can be pricey. Adesso offers a large array of tablets at prices considerably less than what a manufacturer like Wacom, which has a well-deserved reputation for excellence, would charge. I tried the Adesso CyberTablet M14; it’s near the top of the company’s line and tailored to graphics professionals. I put the tablet through its paces in both Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.5.
The 16.5-by-11.8-inch USB tablet dedicates a nice large area (12 by 7.3 inches) for drawing and writing. The shiny silver finish gives it a look best described as industrial. Each upper corner of the pad has a mechanical spinning knob, making the device look a little bit like an upside-down Etch A Sketch. Five buttons lie between the two knobs: The first three determine whether twirling either knob (both of which perform the same functions) lets you scroll an open document, zoom in on it, or adjust your computer’s audio volume. The other two buttons switch the active drawing area between the full widescreen and limited standard aspect ratios.

Von Slatt’s AIO Victorian PC is magnificent and a fine example in retrospect of the Victorian era gone by. Incorporating brass and wood for most part, the modern elements in the design are cleverly tucked away out of view. However the image of using the Table-Saw on the monitor makes one cringe, the end-result negates the feeling.
Epson has started to sell their new notebook, the Endeavor NA104. Our 12.1’’ notebook features a Core 2 Duo U7600 CPU (1.20GHz) for the highest version, and a Celeron M523 (933MHz) for the lowest, 512MB to 1.5GB of RAM, 80GB of HDD. You can also select Windows XP in addition to Windows Vista… anyway, nothing very exciting.
